These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Enough with the Marilyn comparisons!
Here's a photo of Marilyn Monroe partying with Carl Sandburg. She also bewitched Arthur Miller, Joe DiMaggio, Frank Sinatra, Lee Strasburg, Yves Montand and, posthumously, Norman Mailer.
Howard K. Stern, Larry Birkhead, a bodyguard, Zsa Zsa Gabor's nth husband and a Bahamian official are a sad, sad substitute for that line-up.
That bottle in Marilyn's hand is Chanel No. 5, not TrimSpa, Baby!
Marilyn Monroe was a gifted comedienne and a genuine film star. Anna Nicole was the butt of sad jokes on her own reality show.
I realize Ms. Smith had a tragic life and a tragic death and I am sorry for her. I believe she loved both Howard Marshall and her young son and she sustained a lot of loss for a woman of 39.
But she was a pale copy of Marilyn Monroe in every way. And when you compare the two, Anna Nicole is just … well, kinda dull.
