Here is window into the Anti-Flirt Club, 1923. I wonder if this would be accepted today in working class neighbourhoods of Brooklyn, where wolf whistles follow many a lass. This seems geared more toward the inappropriateness of a woman flirting. What about the men being jerks–or worse, “dandified cake eaters?”
“The club had a series of rules, which were intended as sound and serious advice. These were:
Hi Everyone,
Dana is in a tight spot with medical concerns and, unknown to her, I am asking for a rally of Positive Energy and Love for her. Please send your prayers, thoughts, energy, and whatever means you can muster to push the treatment and recovery in the right direction.
Dana wants nothing more than to be able to resume this blog and begin being her usual self once again. All of you mean so much to this very special woman.
Thank you,
the Proxy Blogger

Despite the hiatus, Dana has expressed a couple of items for her wish list.
Beaker Cookie Cutters will no doubt give her hours of delight after recovery:
They may be found here, but are out of stock. Where else might they be found?
Next on the list is a bookish jewelry chest. Personally this humble ghost writer would prefer the literary choices run to more macabre tastes:
Find this treasure here.
While our lovely lady takes time to pause, I will be stepping in and hosting her blog. What an honor to be her guest! Now on to the good stuff!
Remember invitations you opened from an envelope? Remember them on the fridge or taping them your mirror so you wouldn’t forget the date? If you were anything like me, you saved everyone because they were colorful and fun. Sadly, mom would clean my room and these little Halloween treasures would go out with the trash. I can’t remember the last time I got an invitation in my physical mailbox. Most everything is virtual now. Oh, to be invited to an old fashion Halloween party with a real paper invitation.
