Ladylike...Not so Much. Thank you, Nora

"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady," Nora Ephron told Wellesley's Class of 1996 in a commencement speech.

Hats Off to Hat Tricks! Hockey and Otherwise

In case anyone wants to know, that's Phoebe at the far right wearing a hat at a technology company picnic back in 2000 at the South Shore Country Club in Chicago, a few minutes from the Obamas' Chicago digs. Yes, the photo may be blurry, but the memories she has regarding that day are quite sharp. That hat blew off of her head, rolled toward a young child and almost put a toddler's eye out with that pointy top! With great hats come great responsibilities.

One of the hottest chicks in the hat game, Mimi Wendell, recently passed away in NYC at the tender age of 94. Ms. Mimi did the words, "Mad Hatter" proud. (What doesn't relate back to Alice in Wonderland? Nada!)


Any Brim Way, Mimi had over 150 hats and regarded them a physical necessity, like oxygen. At age 81 she and her hats began a film career that included appearances in "Sex and the City," roles as the snoring woman at the wedding in "Hearburn," a diner choking on an olive in "Hitch," and ads for Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Juicy Coture and at 90 was named one of "The 50 Most Beatiful New Yorkers" by New York magazine.

"I keep telling my daughter, my granddaughter," she said, "If you don't wear a hat, you're missing it." Truer words were never spoken.

As Barbara's other website notes, in this The Today Show story, one of her bras brought in over $5,000 at auction.

In the June 2 edition of The Huffington Post, Lesley M.M. Blume writes: "I just saw a recent picture of comedienne Joan Rivers that made me want to throw up.

She goes on to profile women who have not had plastic surgery and even if they are 50 years and older, look fabulous! This list includes the absolutely stunning Iman, Gloria Steinam, Sophia Loren and gorgeous model Carmen Del Orefice who is 78 years old and still modeling.
