Palin Innocent in Shopping Spree Scandal, Says Source

She looked great in the clothes. But they could not cover the fact that she knows nothing and can’t speak English.

What is your favorite Grace Kelly movie?

The Country Wife. Clunky play but she was playing against type and the performance was wonderful.

Hedge Funds: Apocalypse Now or the Quickest Route to Carrie Bradshaw’s Wardrobe? by Liz Peek

Superb comments, Ms. Taha. Although I have a woman friend who started and managed a hedge fund in the early 90’s - a pioneer of sorts. It crashed and burned. She lost her shirt and the trust of many investors and friends. So it’s not all men who are out there rolling the dice, and not all women are risk-averse.

The Dos and Don’ts of Aging Gracefully

I’m going to grow my hair long when it’s white. White hair is so beautiful. As for Joan Buck’s mentioning of cleaver camouflage techniques for women of previous centuries - bring back the picture bonnet! Those bows under the chin completely eliminated wattles - instant face lift. Turtlenecks are our modern alternative and they do nothing but make your neck look as thick as a stevedore’s, and they kind of push the excess flab over the top - I hate that look on older women. .

What is the first movie you ever saw in a movie theater? What do you remember about it?

Your mother was misguided for taking you and sadistic for letting you stay to see it. Although I have to say that when my daughter was that age she loved some scary movies because she didn’t recognize them as pertaining to her own life. Devil babies? Meh. A few years later, she was traumatized by those same videos - couldn’t watch them at all.

What is the first movie you ever saw in a movie theater? What do you remember about it?

Disney’s “Peter Pan.” I wanted a nightgown just like Wendy’s and a boyfriend just like Peter so we could hold hands while flying.

What's next for Sarah Palin?

She will be groomed for an upgrade - to senator or presidential candidate. Her full medical records, however, will be leaked, revealing she was a meth addict in Wasilla.

Introducing SHEconomics, by Liz Peek

I am very interested in money matters, but the insider vocabulary is what makes me glaze over. So bring it on, Liz. I’d like to learn the language better.

Did Spitzer get what he deserved?

Exactly my sentiments, Rita. But since johns are not arrested, Spitzer shouldn’t be. I think the end to a meteoric political career is sufficient karma. Though castration should have been on the table.

Where Are the Women of Iraq? by Vishakha N. Desai

The charity Women For Women is specifically helping Iraqi widows and other women get back on their feet as professionals, after addressing basic needs. I am very proud to have been matched to a woman in Iraq who is striving to regain these fundamental diginities that we take for granted.

Joan Juliet Buck: 'This Was the Reverse of 9/11'

I love the image of those people in their living room standing to sing “God Bless America.” Wish I’d been among them, but I actually don’t know the words!

What have you let fall off your radar this election season?

Celebrity doings felt so inane in the last few months that I hope others will finally back off those poor people some. We don’t need ten magazines all spewing the same inconsequential garbage. Not when the country is in such crisis.

What's the one thing you plan to give up to save money? What's the one thing you won't give up?

A lot of you have mentioned giving up highlighting. My poor colorist is really suffering from a huge fall-off in her business - those who haven’t given it up wait much longer before they come back in. This is one of the things I can’t give up, and now I tip her 40% to make up for her lost business. I want to cut back but I want to help out too. I have given up restaurants, alcohol, the health club (I’m walking every day), taxis (walking again), driving (walking), and shopping unless it’s on eBay.

The 4 Items Joan Juliet Buck Won't Buy to Save Money

Good for you Joan. It’s important to keep tipping. People who are lucky enough to have jobs sometimes really depend on tips - and it makes you feel good!
