šŸ¤“ Short and Sweet #15: Passes and Glasses

ā€œMen seldom make passes / At girls who wear glasses,ā€ was a couplet made famous by Dorothy Rothschild Parker. 😮

Parker, a witty poet, short story writer and screenwriter of, ā€œA Star is Born,ā€ was born on this day in 1893.

Once on the editorial staff of Vogue, a critic for Vanity Fair, she served the longest as a contributing writer for The New Yorker.

On two other notes:

The 1976 remake of ā€œA Star is Born,ā€ is one of my FAVORITE movies, and features one of my FAVORITE vocalists and actors, Barbara Streisand. I’ve always wanted to see her perform live.

And I will keep my glasses handy for those guys who shouldn’t even try. The only pass I want from ā€œJeromey Romeā€ types is for them to pass me by. šŸ˜‰

Have a Happy Monday 😘
