STIPEND
AND THE SINGLE GIRL. In her new
memoir, Helen Gurley Brown reveals that at age 24, she had an "arrangement"
with a 43-year-old movie executive. She describes the setup as: "freedom
from hunger and want, bye-bye pinchies and scrimpies, farewell fiscal fright."
Around here, this revelation has sparked not only discussion (how come this seems
to make her, like, "saucy," but if he wrote about it, he'd be
a grody letch?), but also haiku (by BG pal Amy
K.):
Helen Gurley Brown
