Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>A largish midwest family visiting Seattle came to dinner last evening. There were two polite kids, including a 12 year old boy who was real quiet he first saw some of my baseball memorabilia on a shelf. I gave him a interesting 1938 artifact to take back home with him. <br /><br />His older sister was with him and I felt obligated to (and wanted to) give her something. I wasn't sure what to give a 15 year old girl, though she said she was an actress in the local youth Shakespeare group and talked about the cosutmes she wore. So I give her this (Greta Garbo in costume by George Hurrell).<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>The Other One (Julie)</b><p>and while the main characters in Dangerous Liaisons are evil puppeteers of people, Anna is a poor adultress with a husband who won't give her her child, and ends up throwing herself under a train. Much prefer Anna, of course, but I wasn't so sure the parents of a 15-year-old would. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>?
