Here's To The Ladies Who Drunch

Which one are you?

She Has Spoken

"I think it is every woman's duty to make herself as attractive as her time and means permit. After all, there you are, in your person- a living symbol of the progress of art, science and imagination. To be as attractive as we can be is almost a civic duty; there are so many sad and ugly things in the world that I think women should say to themselves humbly, not with vanity, 'I will try to be as pretty as I can, so that when people look at me, they will feel refreshed. I will make an effort to be easy on the eye.'"

-- Ilka Chase

"I've had both of their husbands - at the same time!"

"I don't mind Jim's staying late at the office - it gives me more time to dust, mop, and polish!"

"Lipstick on his collar, cock on his breath - I think Bob likes the hole and the pole!"
