Sex is not love.
Love is not sex.
You don't realize that then you will constantly be missing something in your life and be miserable.

These women did not help us. Marilyn was reportedly seriously abused as a child and aborted several kids. Was an adulteress and did porn. She is no one to emulate.
Marilyn Monroe had a rather tragic life really. To a degree she was doomed to sorrow, and some sort of bad end.
She did have considerable talent, other than looking good. She was a fine comic actress.
She did manage to stick in that shiv, over and over! Clever woman.
Agree
Amazing to see this garbage exalted on a conservative site. I cannot imagine, for instance, the writings of CS Lewis, or Saint Thomas Aquinas, being celebrated on a progressive liberal website.
I think we could have done without both of them, at least as public figures.
Definitely going to watch this. I love food literature & I love Jacqueline Susann. She could tell a story with the best of them.
Good literature ( & good food literature!)
Agreed
Have you seen Susann???She looked like a truck driver in drag....
She did not do porn. Was a very smart and talented woman, had a hard life growing up.
Mostly because liberals (of the modern sort) are stupid. Conservatives should read broadly. My hero is Saint Teresa of Avila, who was a total fan of medieval fantasy, or lets say Chivalric Romance (Orlando, Amadis, Esplandian, etc., that whole list in “Don Quixote”).
Let’s leave Marilyn out of this, she was a walking tragedy more than anything else.
Jacqueline Susanne was a clever writer. Her immoral works aren’t, depending on how you look at it I guess. In “Valley of the Dolls” she tells a tragic tale, or, rather, a lot of them, of affairs, corruption of innocents, drug addiction, cruel ambition, etc., that all end badly. It’s not really different (other than volume) from the 18th century “Dangerous Liasons”, “Lady of the Camellias” by Dumas, “Madame Bovary”, “Anna Karenina” or “Nana” by Zola. Susanne just packs in a few more characters and tragedies.
Yes, I do read a lot of things.
The world calls sex love. It is the pretty much the opposite of Biblical love.
Liberated love? From morality and sanctity.
I did see Jacqueline Suzanne walking near Central Park in the early 70s She looked like a caricature: fancy hat, large white fur, thin skirt—led by her poodle down the sidewalk.
It was almost cartoonish. Truman Capote may been a bit strong with his description but he was not far off.
There is sex, there is love, there are the two together, and all of these conditions can cause problems.
Add, the cases where A comes to love B but B doesn’t love A (or much less so), but B gets to have sex with A.
And then there are the cases where both love and sex have a time limit.
Life gets messy. And tragic. And often very amusing.
