What fresh hell is this?

Dorothy Parker was one of the original Algonquin Roundtable wits. Yet for all of her cutting witticisms, she lived a sad and unfulfilled life.

More on Dot and her wisdom later.

For now:

Resume

Razors pain you
Rivers are damp
Acids stain you
And Drugs cause cramps
Guns aren't lawful
Nooses give
Gas smells awful
You might as well live

Coming Soon! Ladies of the Night!

Mata Hari. Mae West. Greta Garbo. Etta Place. Catherine the Great.

What did they have in common?

A disregard for the rules.

Coming soon the life and times of the wild and wanton women of history. They lived, they died, they ruled kingdoms and they brought them down.

Even today, the wicked women of the world tickle our fancy and absorb our attention on the covers of newspapers, magazines, and books, the world over.

Monica Lewinsky. Jennifer Flowers. The Mayflower Madam. Ma Barker.

Join me as we investigate and examine the women, their lives, and loves and the punishment society decreed. First up - Boudica. That wacky ruler of the Iceni who didn't take Roman plundering lying down. Stay tuned!

Welcome to Ladies Night

Wild. Wicked. Wanton.

Ladies have been making history since the dawn of time. And probably earlier. Heaven knows what those naughty primordial babes were up to.

But here comes my blog on the women who made press. The good, the bad and the ugly. And the nasty, naughty and nice.

Cleopatra? Boudica? Elizabeth I? Isabella?

And don't forget Blood Mary, Typhoid Mary and Mary Queen of Scots.

They made trouble, and they made history.

Rock On Girls.
