man's world, you know.
Hide your breasts. Soft sweetness
is weakness, an unforgiven
blemish.

Make nice
and bite your tongue.

pen... last night i saw Shakespeare's "Much ado about nothing"...
with Kenneth Branagh as Benedick, - what a marvelous performance !!!
- better than his Hamlet. And of course the heroine in that play is
not the beautiful, nice lady Hero, but the sparkling fountain soul
Beatrice - wonderfylly rendered by Emma Thompson.
But as you say penny, on a personal level - it depends..
