Girls, Ain't It The Truth???????? Our Beauty Makes Everyone Jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          Believe me, darlings, I am sure many of us can relate to this scene from John Waters' 1974 film "Female Trouble."  Jealousy makes people do nasty things.  And for the most absurd reasons.

                          So much of "Female Trouble" reminds me of my adolescence but in a funny way.  Though my Christmases were never like Dawn Davenport's.  I never asked for Cha-Cha-Heels.  The most unusual thing I requested was when I was in my single digits and asked for a drum set for Christmas.  Needless to say, my parents already had a grasp on what they were dealing with, and I did not get it.  I remember, because on Christmas morning, I used to take inventory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             Still in childhood "A Christmas Carol" made me turn to Dickens while at age 13 I discovered "The Song Of Bernadette."  And the rest is history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             Let this mantra of Dawn and her friends be a mantra for all you girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                             Should someone put you down, just tell yourselves the above!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
