How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World
The book sounds like it should have been two (or more) books. As others on the FL have noted, style and behavior don't have much to do with one another.- Paisley

Did you know there is a new biography on Chuchill by Paul Johnson?- Paisley

How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World
Sir, your observations are, I think, about Katherine Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn made some mistakes, but also worked for the Resistance during World War II when she was just a kid and worked for UNICEF for many years. Be that as it may, to set out to write a book about keeping your chin up...- Paisley

Who are your Role Models?
I don't seek to be a copy of someone else. Rather, thinking about people I admire helps me to hold myself to higher standards. Every day, we see and hear people who have less and less dignity. I believe that has an effect on us, and if we don't deliberately swim against the tide, we start acting...- Paisley

Who are your Role Models?
Oh, I love Cyrano de Bergerac! Holmes, too. Maybe a good one for the Lounge is the Scarlet Pimpernel: rescuer of his French friends during the Reign of Terror. He hid his identity by making everyone think he cared for nothing but clothes, hunting, clothes, cricket, clothes, sailing...and clothes.- Paisley

Favorite frizz fighting cream?
I've had good results with Aveeno Nourish+Moisturize conditioner. But I have thick, straight hair that gets fluffy (but not frizzy) in dry weather. Aveeno makes shot-sized conditioners you can try out. -
How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World
Another book along these lines is Beauty Fades, Dumb is Forever by Judge Judy. It encourages readers to take care of their needs, and to not just go along with the crowd. Not recommended: What Would Jackie Do? Part of it are good, but would Jackie Onassis have prattled on so much about money...- Paisley

Who are your Role Models?
The Lost Art of Manliness thread inspired me to ask this question: who are your role models? They can be living, dead, people you know or never met, even fictional people. They're people you have real or imagined conversations with when you need--you stop and think, "What would this person do?"...- Paisley

The Lost Art of Manliness
In the military, you are to respect the rank, not necessarily the person, and I wouldn't give you ten cents for some of the NCOs I worked with. It wasn't a good fit for me. I was too independent and vowed to never, ever get stuck in another situation I couldn't get out of. I was so nervous about...- Paisley

The Lost Art of Manliness
Even in a social setting, I'm sure both these men command respect. When you're competent and you respect yourself and others, you tend to get respect back. Yes, both Dave and Master Lee are very skilled, self-controlled people, and I think others sense that. Yet they wear their authority...- Paisley

How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World
Audrey Hepburn had an affair with a married man as well--a co-star whose name I can't recall at the moment. It didn't go on for decades, though. I've been wondering if the book mentions that.- Paisley

How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World
That's the conventional wisdom, but in real life, I've never known an...ahem...indiscreet woman to have any trouble finding a husband. (Yes, I mean her own.)- Paisley

The Lost Art of Manliness
My observation has always been that people who are the real deal don't shout it from the rooftops. They don't have to. They simply get on with whatever it is that they do and make it look easy. Some of the men in my family (I won't mention names) are much like the type of man Cody Pendant...- Paisley

Another thing about Mr. Depp is that he never seems to be trying too hard, nor does he seem overly humble or proud.- Paisley
