You'd think that I'd be most ecstatic over the mink or the handmade shoes, but honestly, I'm over the moon at finding a Nancy Drew-style girls' mystery story featuring "the authorized appearance of Ann Sheridan."
You did have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the Hedda Hopper book.
It's the infamous one wherein Hedda pretty much claims flat-out that Michael Wilding (aka Mr. Elizabeth Taylor #2) and Stewart Granger were lovers, and that she warned La Liz as much.
ReplyDeletedidn't you mention somewhere that Hedda's son had a thing for Ironsides himself?
ReplyDeleteIs that in her book? Is it in yours? Inquiring minds...and all that...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway...those shoes are lovely.
