Toy [Not] in the Attic


She was marketed as a character from the recent Disney Cinderella, one played in the film by Miss Cate Blanchett. As for me, though, I can't get past thinking of her as Lillian Hellman Barbie. Photos don't really do justice to her expression, which is something between peeved and not-suffering-fools-gladly - a feeling with which I suppose one really must feel some empathy...

    1. Ah, I think we can all agree that there is sufficient need in this low world for dudgeon and disdain - the late author's favorite states of mind - that there is room for more than one of us, no?

  2. I have a signature pose for photographs, and this is reminding me of it. I call it the face-back-stomach-in.

    1. Add an expression that suggests that you've recently noticed an unpleasant odor and/or the possible presence of Mary McCarthy, and you too can be Lillian Hellman Barbie!
