WisCon and Mae West

May 20, 2011 22:21

Just so I have an idea of who to look out for:

View poll: A quick poll for those attending WisCon:

Also, I'm watching a collection of Mae West movies (one of those"Glamour Collection" sets). This may sum up a lot of what I enjoy about them:

"For a long time, I was ashamed of the way I lived."
"You mean to say you reformed?"
"No. I got over being ashamed."

That and the one where she's engaged to Cary Grant and he decides she's cheating on him because a guy she rejected told him so and dumps her, so she takes him to court for breah of contract and when all of her exes are on the stand to discredit them she acts as her own counsel and is all "Did I make you promises? Did I ask you for gifts? Did I tell you to start hanging around and tell me you adore me? Also, I seem to recall that you were married when you started showing up at my door with jewelry and flowers. Does your wife know you're here?"
