mind-boggling!

Miss E., Have you ever thought about updating your look? It is so chic/not sheik, however if I may be so bold as to state: the endless pursing of your lips will result in many a wrinkle. A few units of Botox around the lip would do wonders. (You just can not play a wind instrument or suck through a straw). ps- when i was a real little girl, loved you on laugh-in. Loove snorts!

Ms. HRC is a hard working son of a gun. ps. - Could be that ‘hair is everything?’

How utterly fabulous! (I do read MC, but adore ELLE!) Miss Tina, Since you removed the out of lines toe polish, you must redeem yourself in your daughter’s eyes…by allowing her to give you a manicure with polish! And, as much as it practically kills you, nauseates you, when she makes a UGLY macaroni necklace - wear it proudly. These are the things she will never forget!

Because we have not found an alternate fuel. First country to pocket the moon, and we are unable to solve this problem. Why not? The result is sending boatloads of money to people who are not our friends.

Yes, Charles Lindbergh was a dunce in marriage and politics. He did much for aviation, however.

Although it sounds suspiciously like a plug, I started reading Leslie Stahl’s book ‘Reporting Live’ - am on page 72. David Sheff ‘Beautiful Boy’ already a tear jerker at page 88. Phil Donahue (no plug intended) ‘The Human Animal’ - Liked the pictures. Lisa Alther ‘Kinfolks, Falling off the Family Tree’ about relatives with 2 thumbs in Virginia. Synopsis helpful? Lucy Grealy ‘Autobiography of a Face’ Living with a distorted self-image/disfigured face in our beauty obsessed society. All checked out at a green library tonight. Have checkout receipt and late fee receipt for $8.40. The library can be incredibly expensive, at least for unorganized people.

Ms. Leslie Stahl, Just checked out your book at the library, hope it has some good juicy things in it. It was on display, so I had to check it out. ps - Do you think your husband may use/enjoy the gift?

Love what E. Jean Carroll has to say about plastic surgery. It’s at askejean.com

I told a gorgeous 60 year old (but sun damaged) lady we should have worn a Bikini the entire year we turned 20. She looked at me and said ‘honey, I did wear a Bikini the entire year I was 20’! She explained she was a cocktail waitress on a beach somewhere! disclaimer: borrowed the line from NE book ‘I hate my neck’

My father just took his very proper southern rasied 90 year old mother year old mother to a new Doctor. He was filling out the paperwork for her and came across the question ‘how many times have you had sex?’ As she had been married three times, he felt it was safe to write ‘at least three times.’

Why is it that Lear’s Magazine failed? One take is that even ‘mature’ women identify and prefer to look at 20 year old women in magazines.

What CLASS! Do you think her Vassar story is true?
