Everyone is talking about the opulence of Fall/Winter 2010. When I think of opulence, I'm inspired by Bollywood films, Lebanese pop singers, and timeless American jazz.
Madhuri Dixit as Chandramuki in the film Devdas (2000). She plays a courtesan who falls in love with Devdas, who is mourning his ex. Another patron bet her that if Devdas wouldn't come - and if he didn't she'd have had to spend the night dancing for him. But he showed up, which is why she's so happy lol.

For me, opulence will always be represented by African American and legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday. I was really excited when I found there are YouTube videos of her singing!
What is elegant and opulent to you?
[This post came from a song called "Me, Myself and I" sung by Billie Holiday. The full lyrics are:
Me, myself and I are all in love with you
We all think you're wonderful, we do
Me, myself and I have just one point of view
We're convinced there's no one else like you
It can't be denied, dear
You've brought the sun to us
We'd be satisfied, dear
If you belonged to one of us, so...
If you pass me by,
three hearts will break in two
'Cause me, myself and I
Are all in love with you]
