I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I read somewhere that Liza always claimed that Eloise was based on her childhood, when she and her mom lived in the Plaza after Judy was booted from MGM and divorced Vincent Minnelli.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
OK so LM definitly true. The rehearsal incident either also true or a good story Kay made up.

Kay Thompson never confirmed it, so I don't know that I'd call it definite. But, that's me.

George and Martha are a great pre-reader/primer book.
I *love* George and Martha!
As well as all the Frog and Toad books, especially Frog and Toad Together (which is where I got the idea for always starting a to-do list with "Make list," so that you can immediately cross it off and feel productive).
