I wonder at our fascination with Anna Nicole Smith, Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. All of them were beautiful, blonde women albeit over enhanced and overdone. All of them died tragically.

It took a lot of fortitude and sex with revolting men to get a measure of fame and fortune. They were all unhappy
people. You don't see the Madonna-Whore dichotomy in men now, the way it was when I was a girl but I am sure they all experienced it. Nenah can tell you how a girl had to stay pure until marriage because the social penalties she suffered were so severe if she defied convention.

I like the present climate much better. My DH and I lived together l0 months before tying the knot and knew each other very well.
