Just Swell
Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult." Charlotte Whitton
Reading anything written by Lesley Blume is such a delight. Creative, intelligent, independent nice women have inspired me ever since I first watched A Letter to Three Wives. Even as a girl, I identified with Linda Darnell's character, Lora Mae.
Those of you who've been visiting with me for any length of time, the preturnaturally bored one must assume, know how very much I enjoy the interesting thouights of Mr. Edward Monkton. And now he shares with us his new animation, The Pig of Happiness, which can be got as a widget here. There are also wonderful messaging images in the downloads section, or one can send a Google Mail greeting. Little known fact: Whenever I behold Mr. Monkton's website, I find myself overcome with an urge to perch a tiny bird-shaped hat upon my noggin and totter around in highheels whilst carrying a lovely handbag. A totally inappropriate urge really, as "totter" would be quite accurate (having been born without the all-important sashay gene). And then there's the fact i've a large square head which holds up a rather plain face. Definitely not a hat head, with the possible exception of a beekeeper's hat, which would be functional in so many ways, but difficult to know what to pair with it. A tweed coat, perhaps, and sturdy walking shoes? I could change my name to Pernitha Bitwalder. A "Pernitha" could quite carry off a beekeeper's bonnet, I should think, and without eliciting a startled series of Oh Mys.
