Leigh Batnick and Ballet by Cecil Beaton

Why did you choose the Ballet book?
A snowy night at Lincoln Center left me in the delicious throes of Odette, Odile, and Philip Johnson's completely perfect theatre. I am now on a mission, of sorts: Ballet for one, Ballet for all!

What’s the last thing you bought?
A Thirties chrome swan hood ornament mounted on a small slab of white marble.

What are your most treasured possession?
My grandmother's madcap deco wedding ring; a seahorse with rhinestone eyes; my library.
