dangermousieToday's quote of the day is from Rupert Holmes' "Where the Truth Lies."
A nice thing about being a woman in southern California was that you felt no shame claiming a deadbeat car from a parking valet. For a woman, a beat-up convertible was thought to be a personality trait, and in L.A., a little personality went a long, long way-so much so that Hollywood imported people like me from the East who still had one (a personality, not a convertible). On the other hand, a man in L.A. shrank from acknowledging ownership of a rusty Chevy Caprice like a rock-star father of a groupie's baby in a paternity suit.
Is is any wonder I love this book?
