A few of my favorite American writers:
Dorothy Parker
William Saroyan

Camus, apparently, didn't like hats.
Fairest of the fair foundation
My skin recently took a turn for the worse. I'm working to get it clear, but in the meantime I've been using foundation to help cover it up. As a super-pale person, this isn't easy. I do have a few suggestions, though, from the inexpensive to the more pricey...
As someone who very early in life loved both the word and the color "pink," I love this thread! My contribution:
Jantzen's logo features a "diving girl" wearing a deep coral pink/red swimsuit. From the 1930s to the 1960s, it's interesting to see their iconic color gradually get pinker and...
I'm 5'6", so I guess right around average. I ended up being a touch shorter than my mom, but I've got the body of someone taller (long torso, big feet, short neck, short thighs, ugh...). I have such enormous feet for my height (10), and have since the age of 10. Because of that and the fact that...
I'm thinking back to my grandmother's Christmas tree, which everyone used to joke had looked exactly the same for 50+ years. Tinsel is a must -- and cheap -- and I think you can get a very vintage look with the right choice of basic ornament. She used balls, but she also used a lot of a more...

How do you wear your hair now?

This is why I like Spanx. Sure you get a bit of control-top action, but in the summer it's so nice to have the bottom half of your legs free and not worry about chafing issues.
I like your taste for the macabre and grotesque, Undertow.
My favorites:
Emile Zola - He really tortured his characters. Not that I'm into torture, but it makes for a fascinating read.
Colette - Her prose is just genius -- lyrical and heartwrenching.
Michael Chabon - Excellent storyteller, and...
