And a friend told me the most wonderful story of introducing her curvy daughter to West and having her blossom in physical and psychological confidence. They even had a big Mae West party where everyone came as the grand dame herself.<br /><br />True genius will never die.C.

My brother and I (both in our 20s) laughed our asses off to this over xmas. I originally saw it in high school.

I can quote much of it verbatim, and often do.<br /><br />JeffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-90399016113381905822011-03-29T07:10:28.078-05:002011-03-29T07:10:28.078-05:00I have never laughed harder than I did in Fields&#...I have never laughed harder than I did in Fields' IT'S A GIFT.
