i'm working through "Women Who Run with the Wolves" in my own style, which means i started with the chapter on "The Red Shoes" ... ... and currently am baffled that Every. Single. Aspect of that story endures scrutiny—definitely the old woman, especially the little girl—but not the aggressor: the man with the red beard who invites himself to brush the dust from her shoes, then lays the destroying curse. Does my misandry burn too strong?
Huge debate with fellow hag friend about her grandma we want your advice on. She has dementia and is in a home at the moment. She's always been brand loyal to Clinique even through illness, and recently has been slathering it on liberally. My friends mum is saying that she might as well just put Nivea in the old Clinique bottles because it's breaking the bank. We are torn! Do you think this iconic hag should be duped, or should the Clinique continue to be supplied?
