But there are some words that, were they human, would make the Book of Beautiful People. A quick search revealed several lists of gorgeous words out there so I'll be borrowing from a few of them (like this one here, minus the vulgar language, and here and can't resist here).
swashbuckle
botheration
glimmer, glitter, dazzle, all those words that have sequins attached :)
roly-poly
marsupial
bamboozle
bungalow
cockamamie
chuckle
crackle
diaphanous or gossamer- LOVE these, makes me think of soft silk
effervescent - all bubbly like champagne
mellifluous
serendipity
scrumptious
talisman
razzle-dazzle
whimsy
willowy
I could go on...but I want to know your favorites. Share them in the comments!

Bamboozle is one of my favourites too lol!
I've always liked the word 'triskaidekaphobia.' It's fun to say.
hmmmm maybe mellow--touche'---relevant----ooey gooey pumpkin cake
I like adamant and belligerent. There are some really good words on your list, though.
Ooh, I LOVE diaphanous, effervescent, and serendipity! I also love chiaroscuro, evanescent, and enigma.
I've left you a blog award over at:

Love swashbuckle, diaphanous, mellifluous and talisman for sure!
LIke your list. One of my favorites? Frenetic.
My favorite word for the longest time was DOORKNOB. My best girlfriend had it carved & gave it to me for my 16th birthday. Every once in a while I'll put out the old things from the trunk. DOORKNOB still makes me giggle. It just looks funny.
