FEMINA: PROFILE OF GREAT WOMEN.

Marjorie Maye: the best of the best in the business!!

By Maximillien de Lafayette

Marjorie Maye is a very expensive enigma. A puzzling and complex delightful “Femme Fatale”. She looks stunning, she flirts with “La Forza del Destino”, she mocks the absurdity of intellectualism, she spreads beauty and passion around her, and her “scent” dissolves you in a mirage of sensuality and daring thoughts…and she loves dessert and  mint chocolate chip ice cream. Everything about this Diva is challenging and magical, including her humility. Really? Is she really humble?
  I am not sure, for the strength of her vocabulary sometimes betrays complexity and minimalism. This woman is the perfect reflection of the glitzy 18^th century French Marquise who brought to dinner Lord Byron, George Bernard Shaw, Ernest Hemingway, de Givenchy and an “amoroso” running wild in the dusty forgotten streets of Capri… Her favorite cities are: New York, Palm Beach, Aspen, Stockholm, London and Paris. She tries to work out at least 3 times a week but, her travel schedule makes it tough sometimes. She is romantic and the sensual lyricism of her universe sails into perfect sunsets, tropical beaches, a fairytale wedding, complete with castle. “I¹ve loved a few times in my life.  But only been "in love" once.  Just married my best friend of 21 years, met him when I was 12.   We never realized how much we meant until after Sept 11, 2001.  The World Trade Center Disaster put it all in perspective. We realized what was important.  Within 6 months we were engaged and recently had a fairytale wedding, complete with castle.” Marjorie told us.  Did she write about it? “Yes, I co-wrote our wedding song, with Andy Marvel, a hot New York based writer/producer.  It¹s called "Bringing down the Moon."   An overseas group called "Sweetbox" went into the studio and recorded it, not sure if it¹s going to be used on their next record or not.” Marjorie said. Diva Marjorie, New York’s high priestess of Delphic beauty and sculptured romanticism follows fashion and wears European and American expensive designers labels. She loves Charnel and Prada. Manolo Blahnik shoes are her favorite. Michael Kors and Vera Wang live in her wardrobe walking closets.

Black is her favorite color. Marjorie told me: “Black is versatile, mysterious and sexy. That, and I¹m a from New York, we¹re legally required to wear black at least 75% of the time.” But, the wall colors of her apartment are of an earthy tones, lots of neutrals. I expected something different, en vue of her visions of the world, style and mesmerizing persona. I expected Napoleonic Style Empire burgundy wall colors covered with contradictory Toulouse de Lautrec drawings. Marjorie came to the rescue. Asking her “What usually,  do you have on your desk?”, Marjorie replied: “A Macintosh G4 Titanium PowerBook, a Sony digital recorder, a Motorla cell phone, a Monte Blanc pen, and a white orchid plant.” Marjorie told me. Marjorie, the creative songwriter and sensitively explosive Eve who blends philosophy, pragmatism, sensuality, intelligence, unsurpassed creativity, extravaganza  and wit in her daily life, poetry, music and a world she intentionally created for rebellious angels and charmingly daring half human half divine lovers. Ritzy and flash-dashy, this magnetizing New Yorker is a woman of the world.  More precisely, two worlds. One we know, the other we dare to explore or crave to invent!
