The other day, some guy at work was opining on about how all women are either Audreys or Marilyns. I really disliked this on both macro (seriously, Random Dude? ALL women EVER?) and micro (personal) levels. I am not quirky, girlish elegance; I am not damaged, ethereal sensuality. I know women of both types, and sometimes I envy or pity them. Just as I’m sure they do me, right back.

It just felt very awkward, and virgin/whore, and reductive. And exclusive.

And for the record, I’m a Jane Russell with a Dorothy Parker fixation.


Jaynie my love, you *always* know what time it is. Tonight I’m going to wear my highest leopard-print heels and dance my false eyelashes off in honor of you.

I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’
