See You In September, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Girls, can you believe this is the first day of the month so many of us used to hate as children. Back when September meant Back To School, which in Highland Park, New Jersey, meant back to shit, unless you were from the right social group or neighborhood. To hell with the quality of the child's mind. Well, now, darlings, that mind is speaking out!!!!!!!!!!

Today, this month has mixed connotations--tragic (9/11) and romantic ("Frank Mills" day, which follows on the 12th). But let me tell you--once we are into what I call the "ber" months, you can just about kiss the year goodbye!!!!! SMACK!!!!!!!!!!!

One day closer to "Freedom," loves, what with less than 100 pgs to go with David Mitchell. Then it is time for Jonathan Franzen, and, girls, they say you cannot leave your chair for a minute. I mean, not since "Gone With The Wind...."

And of course in just two days we will annoucne the Bitch Of The Week, though we have one potential nominee, but no surefire definitives. That could always change over the next couple of days, so let us see what happens.

What a summer this has been! Too hot to go to the Delacorte, too hot for movies al fresco, too hot for anything bad staying amidst air conditioning and bitching about the heat!!!!! And darlings, my bitching would go over real well at Conde Nast!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what Miss Dorothy would do???? She would just put on her hat and pearls, and dance merrily. So that is what I want all you girls to do--on the way to your next social engagement. Just think--in 20 days, Prosperina goes back to Hell. Then things really change!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But don't put away those summer frocks just yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
