IN WHICH MS BETTIE PAGE IS FAREWELLED

From In Memoriam A.H.H

One writes, that 'Other friends remain,'
That 'Loss is common to the race' —
And common is the commonplace,
And vacant chaff well meant for grain.
That loss is common would not make
My own less bitter, rather more:
Too common! Never morning wore
To evening, but some heart did break.

VI, st. 1-2
Alfred Tennyson

But, um, that's a picture of Dita Von Teese? Unless you meant that she's Bettie's heir, which I suppose she would be. ^_^

I love your blog, though! It's been very helpful with sorting out my own babygirl vs little girl confusion. I still don't know what kind of girl I am, but now I have a better vocabulary to figure it out.
