Valentine Liberace an American pianist and vocalist. he was world famous during 1950s to 1970s. behind the candelabra is the name of the movie I watched about him. this movie shows the last ten years of his life. Liberace was a well paid pianist who was living a luxury life. his house and cars are all the best kind of the time. He was famous for the way that he appeared in his concerts since he loved to wear unusual and fancy clothes with all kind of shine and he believed that black tuxedo is not how people want to see a pianist next to the black and white piano.
                                     

his personal life is the most interesting part in the movie; he is interested to the same sex, and he has his own way of choosing his lover. in this movie he fall in love with a 17 years old animal trainer Scott and asks him to move in with him. Scott who is not really attracted to same sex in the beginning after tasting the liberace's life decides to accept that lifestyle.  

it becomes clear after a while that liberace is trying to make the Scott a young version of his self, and he makes Scott to get as much as cosmetic surgeries as possible to look like him! the sad part is after all the challenges they face to, and when Scott starts to love him, he starts to lose his intreats to Scott, and look for the next person to bring in his life.  

liberace who wanted to adopt his lover, now finds a new young boy, and Scott who had a rough time is abusing the drugs, and had to move out from his house. 

the movie is ending very sad, and obviously true ending, which is the death of liberace because of AIDS. Scott at the end visits his ex-lover suffering from deseas and the movie ends with one of liberace's songs. 

you need to watch the movie if you haven't yet. it totally worth the time you spend. it truely made me think about his life. 

thank you!

I have always wanted to take the boat trip, but it has never happened. I am glad that I finally took it, especially since it was so interesting. The weather was awesome as well, so we couldn't get any luckier. I realized there is so many buildings in the neighborhood, those that I pass by every day, and haven't noticed ever! I looked at the buildings in a different way that I was before. They started to have personality, stories, and even name! They are not only a roof on top of people's head anymore! Nowadays I pay more attention to them, and I am fascinated with the details that I am finding even about my own building, where I live!  It's so difficult to pick one building as my favorite out of all of those in the tour, but I am pretty sure that the ‘Lake Point view’ is one of my favorites. 

It’s sitting in the water by itself with a unique shape and that’s what makes it adorable. The great fire in Chicago at 1817 is the main reason that the city took a whole new look and famous architecture such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, Mies van der Rohe, and Holabird & Root helped the process.
