Now those are some beautiful, classy women....and none of them ruined by plastic surgery. Kim still looks great and I think she lives in Oregon too. Is Doris Day still alive?

It worries me that I'm agreeing with Maureen Dowd lately but on the issue of "Hillary", Dowd is the biting, vicious viper of old.

Begrudging His Bedazzling
By MAUREEN DOWD, February 27, 2008

-snip-

"David Brody, the Christian Broadcasting Network correspondent whose interview with Hillary aired Tuesday, said the senator seemed “dumbfounded” by the Obama sensation.

She has been so discombobulated that she has ignored some truisms of politics that her husband understands well: Sunny beats gloomy. Consistency beats flipping. Bedazzling beats begrudging. Confidence beats whining.

Experience does not beat excitement, though, or Nixon would have been president the first time around, Poppy Bush would have had a second term and President Gore would have stopped the earth from melting by now.

Voters gravitate toward the presidential candidates who seem more comfortable in their skin. J.F.K. and Reagan seemed exceptionally comfortable. So did Bill Clinton and W., who both showed that comfort can be an illusion of sorts, masking deep insecurities.

The fact that Obama is exceptionally easy in his skin has made Hillary almost jump out of hers. She can’t turn on her own charm and wit because she can’t get beyond what she sees as the deep injustice of Obama not waiting his turn. Her sunshine-colored jackets on the trail hardly disguise the fact that she’s pea-green with envy.

After saying she found her “voice” in New Hampshire, she has turned into Sybil. We’ve had Experienced Hillary, Soft Hillary, Hard Hillary, Misty Hillary, Sarcastic Hillary, Joined-at-the-Hip-to-Bill Hillary, Her-Own-Person-Who-Just-Happens-to-Be-Married-to-a-Former-President Hillary, It’s-My-Turn Hillary, Cuddly Hillary, Let’s-Get-Down-in-the-Dirt-and-Fight-Like-Dogs Hillary.

Just as in the White House, when her cascading images and hairstyles became dizzying and unsettling, suggesting that the first lady woke up every day struggling to create a persona, now she seems to think there is a political solution to her problem. If she can only change this or that about her persona, or tear down this or that about Obama’s. But the whirlwind of changes and charges gets wearing.

By threatening to throw the kitchen sink at Obama, the Clinton campaign simply confirmed the fact that they might be going down the drain.

Hillary and her aides urged reporters to learn from the “Saturday Night Live” skit about journalists having crushes on Obama.

“Maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow,” she said tartly in the debate here Tuesday night. She peevishly and pointlessly complained about getting the first question too often, implying that the moderators of MSNBC — a channel her campaign has complained has been sexist — are giving Obama an easy ride.

Beating on the press is the lamest thing you can do. It is only because of the utter open-mindedness of the press that Hillary can lose 11 contests in a row and still be treated as a contender."

Yes, Doris Day is alive. She is 83. One of the recent tabloids said she is reclusive since her 66 year old son died a couple years ago from cancer.

I snuck a peek of the inside, and she is still beautiful at 83.

And, you are right, Der. None of those ladies destroyed their looks by getting plastic surgery. (I never thought of that.)

Did you see Clinton’s old girlfriend, Gennifer Flowers on TV a couple dayse ago? She is only 57, and I choked when I saw what used to be an attractive lady. Her lips were so ‘inflated’, she should never again ride in a convertible - they would flap her to death.

And, she appears to have had more face lifts and plastic surgery than Michael Jackson or Joan Rivers.

The colors, styles and fabrics on the runways for this spring were a bit of a throwback to those golden Hollywood days when stars were truly glamorous. Glamour Magazine is featuring photos from the 30s and 40s in this month's issue.

Artist touches--Watercolor This Olivia de Havilland 1941 cover shot epitomized Hollywood glamour. Strapless, flouncy tulle dresses and detailed floral appliques were a 40s must-have. Photo courtesy of Glamour
