Well, I actually agree with these! o.O

Especially the attractive leftovers, natch ^_^ Do you think they mean a smiley face or something?

I think leaving the food in the shape of flowers would be more appropriately feminine.

I need a tiara now, and to lear how to sculpt mashed potatos.
Wonderful advice. :D

I have a tiara. I used to wear it while cooking, so even though I was in the kitchen, I felt like a princess... If I locate it, I'll make sure I take pics !

But do you have a matching tiara for your pet? That is the real question.

Even though the whole thing sounds a tad old-fashioned, I love the idea the book conveys : that the world doesn't revolve around ME ME ME... How I wish it was updated and turned into a best-seller today...

It's actually a very practical book in most respects, although it does have some bizarre biases (the author hates long hair, for example).

They are from "a girl's guide to grooming" called A Brand New You</a>, published in 1963.

How fabulous! Does that book also teach manners? They should definitely update it for the teens of today... rude little bastards they can be.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen any of your entries for awhile - I thought I had you added already! You have my old one, but not my new one.

Congrats on the little one!
