What better way to celebrate, than with Dame Doris and multi-colored poodles! Also, I am wearing this:
And I have picked out this for you:
To add to our virtual celebration, I offer snack recommendations (a mixed buffet of tea, eclairs, champagne, cheetohs), party favors (jewelry, twirling leotards, and sparklers).
For entertainment, I offer the 2005 Gold Medalist [...]

Dear CF,
I’d pay good money to see you in your stirrup pants, and wish so much you could have come. I wore our shirt, as you know, and my weirdo jeans from when I was 13. They’re oddly high-waisted, and from the knees down they’re tie-dyed white with embroidered stars. I have an actual picture [...]

Dear Millicent,
I am sure I am not the first one to present this thesis, but, like a college freshman, since the thought arrived in my head solo, I’ll pretend like I am the first to discover that the pool has a deep end. In every film that I have watched starring Doris Day she [...]

While watching Funny Girl, I kept wanting to apply the plot from Disney’s The Little Mermaid. It doesn’t completely hold up, but is fun to consider.
Red hair.
The view from the bottom (Fanny’s Henry Street her own little ocean kingdom)
The singing, usually about yearning or adorable shenanigans.
Legs as the beauty ideal. Fanny is constantly referencing her [...]

Dear Carla Fran,
I hope that your table at the wedding is surrounded by Viking paraphernalia and flowing with mead. I can’t wait to hear your reflections on marriage and the strange world of weddings.
I watched “It Happened to Jane.” Never before or since, I think, have lobsters–specifically, their delivery and sustenance–played such a pivotal role [...]

Dearest Carla Fran,
It’s so funny that you mention Joan, as I optically grope Ms. Holloway every time she’s onscreen myself–did so last night, in fact, when I watched Episode 1 of Season 2 on Hulu. (The photocopier!! And Don Draper has ED! This show just gets better.)
Sadly, my lissome redhead in no way resembles JH. [...]

Dear tollbooth phantom,
It’s Friday. My cat has taken a nap in the sun, behind my laptop, and is very much enjoying stretching herself into the gap between desk and wall. She also just took a bite out of an inspirational quote (yes, I do that) that I had taped over the laptop, as, [...]
