takes you to an essay on fashion dictates. Foray into her other topics, too

Krouse Rosenthal writes about women's experiences as mothers, offering both
humor and practical advice. Start with excerpts from her book "The Same
Phrase."
Jennifer
Layton -- Although she's more into music these days, her humor columns are
still great fun to read. Her rant on kids in a movie theatre reminded me of a
quote in Attic: "A child too young to understand should not go
to movies, and a child who understands should be kept at home." (Sophia
Hadida, 1935)
FamilyDaze - Debbie
Farmer writes columns about day-to-day life, and especially the challenges of
