The thoughts & Musings of Christopher F. Reidy*

NOTE: Apparently this webpage has some glitches. It tends to randomly switch out visual material.  Why?  Don't ask me.  So, if a pic doesn't match the text...it doesn't!  Rest assured I am trying to amend this problem.  When I get around to it.

*(may contain misuse of apostrophes, miss spellings, overabundance of semi-colons,  wrong word usage, etc.

Why Don't...?

When Diana Vreeland was the editor of Harper's Bazaar, she had a column (of advice, I suppose) entitled "Why Don't You?"  Her queries were entirely ridiculous; but I suppose that was the point.  Here's a good one: "Why don't you wash your blonde child's hair with dead champagne, to keep it gold, as they do in France?"
Really down to earth.
​So, since Ms. Vreeland is no longer with us, I have no qualms about ripping her off.  However, I'm just going to steal the "Why don't" part.  Putting the "you" pronoun, I think is a bit limiting.  But my first entry will be a "you" one. 
Here we go...

Why don't you put some gold leaf on your nipples and go to the grocers; purchase a turnip, return home, cook and mash the vegetable and involve it in a sitz bath?

Well, why don't you?

Gilding the nipples always makes good sense.
