“And I'd Do It Again” and “Moon Madness” made me want more. So I read "Aimee Crocker's Refined Vaudeville" by Kevin Taylor, I got closer to the Princess of Pearls, my research journey began. 1000s of articles, hours of reading, trips across continents, all for a glimpse across the ages, a peek into Amy's bohemian life! I've found an amazing friend in Kev, and I got to contribute to the book Charlie Crocker called a magnum opus. "Aimee Crocker: Queen of Bohemia" KM Taylor with research by Courtney McKillop.

These photos show Aimée Crocker’s final residence, the Savoy-Plaza Hotel. It overlooked Central Park at 5th Avenue & 59th Street, New York. Aimée dreamt her final dream there in 1941, the building was demolished in 1965, but her spirit continues to intrigue + inspire.

I would read the newspaper if they still published gems like this. More on Facebook.com/BlissOfHeaven 

Oscar Wilde was a good friend & frequent guest at Aimée Crocker’s San Francisco home. You can read about their drinking games in her 1936 memoir “And I’d Do It Again"
