The only thing that really interested me in THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL with Marylin Monroe was the wonderful purple sofa standing in the Prince's room. Despite of the fact that I watched this film a couple of years ago, I've remembered this detail and sometimes thought about it. Today I saw the almost identical sofa in my favourite furniture shop. I was standing next to it, staring, touching, smiling... The big purple velvet sofa from my dreams. And presumably one of the most expensive ones in the city.
Why do some things appear when we are not ready for buying them... And why do they disappear when we are able to make our dreams come true?...
