The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

An explanation of sorts

Well, you know, if I'm going to bash MoDo's book, the least I can do is read the damned thing.

Anent which, Dowd writes to the Sydney Morning Herald:

[I was] hoping to start cool, sexy conversations between men and women, not spur angry rants from women. It's strong, successful women who are bristling, which is weird, because I thought they already knew that life can be a bit harder for them at times, but also a great adventure.

I doubt anything I have to say on the subject will be cool and/or sexy, but we shall see.

Aaaawwww. "Her contemporaries call her a modern Dorothy Parker" WTF??!! excuse me.
I just watched her posturing on TV, in an interview to whatshisname. She talks as if she has 1)some sort of lip deformity; not exactly lisping, but using some learned technique to overcome the lisp - OR 2) it's an injection. She has a squeeky mannered voice and her eyes are constantly moving. She holds her head very carefully so as not to disturb her hair - H.Ford-like. I wouldn't hire her.
She certainly don't look her 54, though.

But, my god, what sack of garbage drops out of her mouth!

Of course, how many of those contemporaries had the opportunity to see the real Mrs. Parker in action?
