I lived about 200 feet from where this picture was taken, in Mount Sinai NY - north shore long island - at a place called the Chandler Estate. It had been a huge private home, this picture was taken when MM & Arthur Miller were visiting the Chandlers. Years later, my husband-to-be moved in to the house, now cut into apartments & crumbling. This merry-go-round was still on the grounds, falling apart. Since then, the house & grounds have been sold to the county.

Nora’s Last-Minute Gift Guide (which includes just one item and the note that you must order by tomorrow for delivery by Christmas):

Nikki McClure’s lovely and inspirational calendar with woodcut prints and single-word messages (this month: “Nourish”).

Since Jan. 2007, I’ve had her calendar hanging on my wall. Turning the page is something I anticipate as each month draws to a close.

That’s so pretty.

One day she’ll marry me.

Muppetpants, I hope that works out for you. You’re going to have to fight off Bob Boilen of NPR though - I have never heard such a love fest as when she guest DJed on All Songs Considered. Bob was gushing!

“In a questionnaire after the film ended, students watching the rom-com were far more likely to believe in fate and destiny than those who had watched the ‘straight’ film. A third study found that fans of romantic comedies had far stronger beliefs in predestined love.”

There is a facebook group that already figured this one out: Disney Movies Gave Me Unrealistic Expectations About Love.

Disney Movies also gave me unrealistic expectations about hair. I am often sad that my hair doesn’t swirl about me in a glossy bundle.

On Being "Ladylike"

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:53:31 -0500

It’s a funny thing, being ladylike. Some things are obvious and are simply good manners: the art of polite conversation, no pantylines or noticeable bra straps, sitting with your legs closed (duh), perfect table manners, etc. Others are confusing: why can’t I put on lipstick in public? Is that somehow offensive? My mother thinks that drinking beer is not ladylike, and is mortified when she sees my bare legs in a dress. I, on the other hand, will noticeably cringe when other women engage in bathroom-related talk; cursing, however, is just fine. I break and blow through these rules at a whim, but one thing remains constant: posture. Back straight, perfect poise in heels, and never, ever touch the banister of a stairwell.

While I’ve many thoughts on being lady-like and gentlemanly, I’m reblogging specifically to point out that no less than the incoming First Lady herself confidently sports bare legs. It’s referred to in passing within the Wall Street Journal Weekend’s feature on Mrs. Obama: Over-40 Finds A Muse.

So naive am I, it never really dawned on me women felt obligated to wear hose beyond dressy occasions. (My Mom near-always wore pants during my impressionable period.) But I’d rather make it strictly optional for everyone, before solidarity requires mantyhose!

To me, a lady is a woman that can make others feel at ease in any social situation. Good manners (please and thank yous, chewing with a closed mouth) in public are a must. Ladies are women that never give others third party embarassment.

The whole slips and panty hose are a thing of the past.

Pantyhose aside, being a lady sounds exhausting. I’m glad to be a woman with good manners, instead of this social construct called “lady.”
