Redecorating My Office

 The movie The Women (1939) is one of my all-time favorite movies.  Starring Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell and Norma Shearer... it's about a group of high-society women friends who are all after each other's husbands and are all talk-abouts and back-stabbers... it reminds me of some of my friends.  One of my favorite characters in the movie is the mother.  When her daughter, the lead character, finds out her husband is stepping out on her, the mother tells her to stick by her man any way.  Further explaining that while women get a new dress or change the style of their hair, men don't think of anything so simple, like redecorating their office, etc.... and usually try to reinvent themselves in the eyes of another woman that they'll never love. The change in my blog layout and colors is my attempt at redecorating my office. 

Over two hours long, you won't see one man in the whole movie, not even a walk-on part with no lines.  There are so many great one-liners in it that I have incorporated into my venacular... you may hear me say 'be a lamb, and get me....' or 'it'll be just as nice'. Here's a splattering...

  3. It does go very fast.. especially the opening scene and the bathroom scene. You have to watch it a few times in spots to get all that they are saying.
