Comment on The Fundraising Houseparty by Morrie Warshawski 07/14/08 by Morrie Warshawski

Hi and thanks for reading my book!
I would love to know which parts of the book you disagreed with - I might take those things into consideration if I do a 3rd edition. Everything in the book has come from talking to dozens and dozens of others who have actually thrown houseparties, so I’d love to learn some new things.
Best,
Morrie Warshawski

Thanks for “getting it.” I just came back today from a birthday party I threw for my mother…gave all her friends an autographed copy of HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD…they loved it. This book makes a great party favor!

Thanks for listing WRITERS’ Journal as one of the magazines that you read. In our July/August issue you will find the winner of our annual Fiction contest, a short story titled “Mourners.” This is a great story! I hope you can enjoy it.

Comment on Forever Cool by Sherrie Mathieson 05/30/08 by Sherrie Mathieson

Forty one ,if you’ve taken care of yourself and life has been good,is tantamount to 31 nowadays. Problems often start at 50 and weight gain, foot and back problems, thinning hair and skin only worsen we age. Men and women often have unique hurdles to overcome.
Forever Cool shows people 50 to 76 years old. The women range from sz 6 to sz 18.
Their clothes are “classically”oriented (yes a pancho is classic)…and the Eileen Fisher gauzy style is great for women who have uneven bodies ,but also want to create a minimalist/zen arty look. It’s hardly Golden Girls, a show that may have been funny but had styles I would NEVER espouse.Every woman in the book had a different personality,and her clothes (ie: Regina was conservative,Joanne was eccentric, etc). No woman was super-sexualized because I don’t believe in that path after 50. Steffi,in the book, was very hip and was sexy without being overtly so. I hope you can revisit the pages, read the book thoroughly and I guarantee that even at 41 (many of my clients are your age or so) you will garner much aesthetic wisdom.
My next book will include younger women.I hope you will remain interested and open.

And I’m interested in whether you liked reading Lolita elsewhere, and curious about why you were reading Lolita in Tehran in the first place.

I have the same reaction to Piers Anthony. I just don’t like him. I think my eyes get tired from rolling at all the puns.

I’ve just started reading this book. By page 50, I was a changed person…for the better.
