My favorite martini is a very dry Belvedere martini served "up" with two olives! <br /><br />I have heard of Dorothy Parker but I am not familiar with her work. I think I need to do my own research! She sounds like an amazingly smart and funny woman!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674194804237367139.post-71513888365190242492010-11-09T23:40:47.610-06:002010-11-09T23:40:47.610-06:00whoops i realize i commented on the post below say...whoops i realize i commented on the post below saying that I love the martini image but i wanted to correct that and post it here!!!

Another few great Parker=isms: Red Wine brings me courage and "I hate almost all rich people but think I'd be darling at it."

Irene! - I agree that it would definitely help to do a bit of homework before viewing the film, especially to have a good idea of who is sitting around the Algonquin table. They are definitely all characters!<br /><br />Fiona, Lady Cherry, Michael, Jann - glad you enjoyed the Dorothy quotes. Thanks for the good wishes for my weekend. I had a great time with my sisters! - but as it turns out we ended up having margaritas instead of martinis. They work just as well. ;-)<br /><br />Kim B - Mae West is lots of fun, isn't she? And that "hard man" quote is perfection. <br /><br />Bob - Thanks for adding to the collection of DP quotes. I especially like that second "f-ing busy" quote. Of course, Prim and proper me wouldn't have dared include that one in my post - but it's just fine coming from you. :-)<br /><br />Vix - Sounds like you and Dorothy would have hit it off very well! And I'm sure that you and Helga will, when you meet. You'll have to fill us in, and share lots of photos!<br /><br />- SSarsaparillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14517012188376869524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674194804237367139.post-3493322429515194162010-11-08T05:17:51.466-06:002010-11-08T05:17:51.466-06:00I really enjoyed this post.
