Life Imitating Art

Paula Poundstone used to do a joke about the banning and burning of books. It ends with the line, "Have we learned nothing from Footloose?" It is one of those touchstones I have come back to many, many times.

I am still trying to digest everything from a fantastic weekend in LA. But one small thing has really stuck with me. We have learned something from Pretty Woman. And that is, anyone can walk into a store dressed like a hooker and be served.

I didn't bring a single "appropriate" item. But one quick stop at American Apparel and I was set! Never had such great service in all my life!
