Fantastic and so deserved Ambassador Smith! Great photo (as usual) in the “Original Gossip Girl” piece. Liz, you’ve taken over for Jackie as the world’s oldest living teenager—in the nicest sense. You’ve got the history, the great writing ability, the diplomacy, the bazillion friends, and that genuine forward looking youthfulness that always shines through. A model and a marvel. Here’s to you. No, Liz, you’re not an a-****. That’s my job.

This is wonderful! From my first glance at wowOwow, I was drawn to Liz…the things she wrote about and the way she wrote about them. I thought I’d made a great discovery! I might’ve known she was a already a legend. Thanks for sharing with us, Joni.

Liz, admiring your style but how can you go to all these dinners, galas, award shows? What vitamins do you take? I am 76 and fall asleep by 9 o clock. Tell us your secret.
