Great!
I'll have to try to remember the name of this thread. I'm always losing the ones where I want to be sure to see comments, forgetting titles. So as a former beauty queen you can reassure us that it's not a bad thing, right? A person who was always jealous of my husband, that I sort of inherited from him, told that I'd been a beauty queen, not so, among other things he made up, when trying to make people jealous of me in the classical music business. Hates beauty queens, and everyone, evidently, may have become rather powerful in some secret organization. Did you see the 1970's movie "Stepford Wives" where the "Mens' Association" was killing off all the wives as fast as they could make the robot replicas? Some of the men loved their wives and were sickened by this. Imagine living with a robot, no matter how "nice" it's programmed to be. But they wouldn't be allowed to make a living in the town if they didn't keep quiet. Don't know if they could have moved away. (Could something like that be why the R's and others seemed to "cover up"? But I don't mean to change the subject.)
I for one didn't see or read The Prime of Miss Jean Brody, and probably not many others did, so don't expect us to know all about "Sandy" or any other character, which it'd be nice to know. What the heck was that all about?
