Mountaintop Philanthropists in Purple
1/24/06
What a privilege to share lunch with a bevvy of sex educators (and one beau) at the Pasadena mountain top home/art show case of Adeleide Hixon a retired, widowed philanthropist with mucho moolah, charisma and fierce enthusiasm for Planned Parenthood and teen sexual health. A great beauty in her day, you can see in her fine features and twinkling tourmaline eyes, as portrayed in an oil painting done in the 40's, Katherine Hepburn style, Adeleide rejoices in tweaking one's stereotype of the little old lady who lunches. No fear in talking about sex, having fun in bed and giving up on a nation of pathetic parents who can't say no to their kids because they can't say no to themselves, she shares her opinions like a dealer his/her cards. No fear of carbo fanatics, fat phobics and Zone Dieters she served up a thick cheesey soup, Caesar salad with real anchovies and hefty slab of cream cheese laden carrot cake. Who dares to serve anchovies these day! I loved it; the view without of stunning Sierra Madres, the veiw within of our own mountains and molehills of morals, cultural incompetencies, fears and fascination about sex, sexuality and what it means to be a human of either gender. All this in a black ceilinged, modern home with a soaring roof and purple painted walls to match the hostess's Chanel suit. Now that's living!
