The Herald Gets Revenge!

After years of my mocking it, The Miami Herald finally got it's revenge on me in today's paper. There, in a feel-good section of this mindless publication, I awoke to a full-page cover photo of me as Baby Jane Hudson.

Of course, I didn't see it first because I don't buy The Herald, but plenty of others did.

And the "In character"; I know that's a crack of some sort. The screaming has continued all day. and you can just catch a glimpse of those dainty lavender, bowed slippers that nearly resulted in my feet being amputated.

Then we'd both have to fight over the wheel chair.

The peasants in the Gables must have been jealous, the Neighbors section of The Herald in our area did not mention the ball at all... They must have been intimidated by the Court ...

I was taught all my life that the only two times your name should apprear in the newspaper is that of your wedding and that of your death. I shudder to think what this is.

Oh, come on -- you are a glory hound from the get go! If I played this game, the assasins would have found me years ago. Be warned! (hee hee)

It was an inspired costume....
