Little Me was the parody "confessional" self-indulgent autobiography of "Belle Poitrine" (French for "Pretty Bosom"), subtitled The Intimate Memoirs of the Great Star of Stage, Screen and Television, by Patrick Dennis, who had achieved a great success with Auntie Mame. A bestseller when introduced in book form, the work was also later staged on Broadway as a musical. The heavily illustrated work featured numerous photographs by Cris Alexander, who combined retouched stock photographs with original photographs taken to create Belle Poitrine's life. Published in 1961, it was considered pretty risqué at the time. (Several of Alexander's photographs were rejected by censors.) The book also featured family and friends of Dennis and Alexander, including Dennis' wife, Louise, as "Pixie Portnoy", and ballet dancer Shaun O'Brien (Alexander's life partner) as Mr. Musgrove. Actress Dodie Goodman and comedienne Alice Pearce were prominently featured. Actress Jeri Archer portrayed the often overexposed, self-centered and clueless Poitrine, and Kurt Bieber was her beefcake co-star and paramour, "Letch Feely". Little Me was reissued in 2002 with a new preface by Charles Busch and foreword by Alexander. The plot of Little Me tells the rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches, etc. story of Maybelle Schlumfert, an overdeveloped and self-deluded girl who rises to become Belle Poitrine. (An example of her delusion Belle is born in 1900 and the book proceeds with a chapter for each decade- but chapter six is titled "Frankly Forty") Throughout the book, Poitrine's character trumpets her successes (which are few) while glossing over her failures (which are many). The book was a stinging parody of the cult of celebrity and self-importance stemming from the numerous "personality overcoming obstacles" biographies of the late 1940s and early 1950s. "Little Me" was made into a musical, with book by Neil Simon, music by Cy Coleman, and lyrics by Carolyn Leigh, which opened at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on November 17, 1962 and ran for 257 performances.

1. A Journey Through Infant Development: The Fifth Month
October 07, 2008
This has been an amazing journey, and I thank all who have joined me in it! The feedback has been great, and I’m so glad to have you share this amazing adventure. This past month has proven to be a time of even more milestones in my infant son’s development. How is it that infants can grow so much in such little time? You continue to grow so quickly. The thing that amazes me most about your last month of development is your ability to notice everything around you, and then grab for any and everything! What once used to be an easy trip to a restaurant now proves to be much more of a challen... (read more)

2. Who Can Help Me To Locate People
October 07, 2008
There are many resources out there if you're looking how to locate people and you are willing to pay a little money to do so. You can try the “free” sources if you would like, but they aren't always reliable and often are just a trap to convince you that they do have the info you need, but require that you pay them to get it.
When thinking about how to find people, you probably immediately think of famous sleuths or private eyes. You have a good reason to think like that: the people who are the best at finding a person are usually detectives. They are also probably your most costly optio... (read more)

3. The Awesome Power Of Taking Action
October 07, 2008
I've always known how important it is to have goals. And that once you have a written goal you must take some action towards achieving it. I just didn't expect to have it pointed out to me so graphically as the day I started to feel a little less than confident about my car!
I'd better start at the beginning. For a while now, the car has needed some work done on it. After all, it's isn't getting any younger and I've been starting to feel a vague dissatisfaction about it. One day, my wife and I were out for a drive. We'd just been through a very bad time with our business and were listeni... (read more)

8. Cheap Ways to Make Halloween Costumes - Best Kiddies Funny Ghoul Jokes Party Ideas & Games
October 02, 2008
Halloween - It only seems like yesterday cowering behind closed doors fearing little monsters, which would come armed with tricks up their sleeve, more than that of the year before. Would my treat be good enough to keep me safe, I thought? With bated breath I would apprehensively open the door. The pleasure I got from giving was so rewarding, once the masks were removed to reveal ear to ear grinning kids, who believed at the time, had scared me witless Witches, pumpkin lanterns and jolly kids, who, in cold damp weather conditions, dress up wearing a mischievous grin under a ghoulish mask...

9. Dissertation Samples. How to contact.
October 07, 2008
Several little details can ruin everything, trust me, and so pay attention. First of all, when looking at a dissertation example of a Title, for example, make sure it corresponds to the writing style you are obliged to obey. Also, make sure that even if they match, the information is up-to-date.
Another group of students usually struggles with a long list of guidelines as to formatting a Title Page, Lists of tables and Graphs, Bibliography or Appendices. I usually divide such people into two groups. For some reason many students prefer to look online for dissertation examples. These peopl... (read more)

10. My little nest egg - an investment loan helps me secure my investment property in Australia
October 02, 2008
I recently decided the time was right to utilize some surplus cash I had available and began looking to purchase an investment property. Whilst it would have been easy to just dive in and find something that I could afford regardless of the location or potential growth, I thought it best to do some research knowing that my investment property was more than likely going to be a long term property investment for me. Timing was also good from an income perspective –I good easily demonstrate my capacity to service the investment loan I would need to complete the purchase and negatively gear the pr... (read more)

October 02, 2008
This month I have encountered two small problems, which have affected my eBay business. If I had spent a little more time thinking about the design of my auction listings, these problems could have easily been avoided and I would have had more time to spend on other things instead of editing tiny mistakes in nearly 100 listings. There have been many similar occasions in the past where a little more forward planning would have avoided me redesigning all my eBay auction listings. Therefore, my advice to you in this issue is to think carefully about the design of your auction listings. More time ... (read more)

So you want to make money blogging? Like most of you out there, I started my blog with the same intent. I didn't want a lot of expenses starting out, but I wanted to make money right away, a lot of money. What I quickly found, however, was the unlikely event of that ever happening.

October 02, 2008
How are we going to have the proper making up relationships and improve the self-development together?
Let me give you an analogy of a human being. A human being has to go through many different stages from young, when he or she is a little boy or girl, growing up, transforming himself or herself to another type of mature guy and women who are much different in the past. Therefore, what I like to share for this point is that we are growing and improve ourselves to have the proper self personal development growth. We need to ensure that we have good relationships in order to sustai... (read more)

16. Justin Roper Boots: I Shoulda Been a Cowboy
October 02, 2008
Doesn’t everyone at some point in their life dream of being a cowboy? Seeing someone wearing Justin Roper Boots recently reminded me of my little rodeo fantasy. I mean, really, just being a horseman out on the great plains, learning how to rope and ride, herding cattle, eating baked beans out of a can over the open fire, sleeping in the great wide open…what could possibly be better than that? I know I’m not alone in this little dream. Too bad I’m really more of a city slicker in real life, and I tend to watch more Westerns than star in them.
At least I now have my own Justin Roper Boo... (read more)

17. Are You Using Tap Water To Make Baby Formula? Why You Should Be Concerned
September 30, 2008
Using tap water to make baby formula is a bad idea…unless you have a home filtration device on your kitchen faucet. In practically every store, you’ll see jugs and jugs of bottled water. Some of them even bare the label “nursery water”. In case you haven’t read the latest news, let me tell you a little bit about those jugs.
Phthalates
Phthalates (pronounced tha-lates) are plasticizers found in many consumer products. For many years, scientists have known that these chemicals disrupt the endocrine system, which affects the natural production of hormones.

18. Learn About Home Water Treatment Systems
September 30, 2008
Some home water treatment systems are not worth the investment, regardless of the price. There are wonderful water treatment products for today's homeowner. You just have to know what to look for.
The really inexpensive home water treatment systems provide little protection from common impurities. On the flip-side, the most expensive purifiers are not necessarily the most effective. In some cases, they include steps that are unnecessary.
Before I get to what you need to look for in water treatment products, let me take a moment to mention something that you probably do not need; reve... (read more)

20. Back to school with Shaw Fest.
September 29, 2008
This year the administration had given me the task of teaching seventh graders. I was a bit worried about the new assignment, and I was a little concerned about how I’d keep these pre-teens focused. I figured that having them outdoors, or on a field trip as often as I could would be a good remedy for their attention spans – not put them to sleep. Eyes light up when the kids are told of what’s planned for the day, and the thought of not being tethered to a desk gives them a much needed jolt of excitement.

21. A Framed Memory
September 29, 2008
When I was a young man I remember my father giving me a framed baseball uniform. This uniform was not a worth thousands of dollars or even hundreds for that matter. I was the first and last little league uniform I wore. The truth of the matter is that baseball was never my game. It is funny but even though I was not at all good at baseball I really enjoyed the experience. I was grateful that my father had the in site to realize that the memory was worth maintaining. After that season I also learned that no matter how trivial our memories are even the ones that seem the most insignificant can... (read more)

22. Interesting Texas Town Names
September 25, 2008
Did you ever wonder how some town in Texas got their names? Towns like Round Rock, Bee Cave, Dripping Springs, Dime Box and Old Dime Box come to mind. Now I’m not an expert on town names in Texas, but I am the curious type and some things just intrigue me. One is how some of these places got their names. So I did a little bit of homework and the following is what I found.
Round Rock, which is a city on the northern edge of Austin, is pretty simple. In 1851, there was a settlement on the banks of Brushy Creek. In the middle of the creek near the settlement was a large round rock. Th... (read more)

September 25, 2008
Article marketing seems to be the buzz word in web site marketing and SEO search engine optimization lately. I've had a lot of people ask me—how accurately is article marketing? And how is it done? Well, the complete point of Internet marketing is to get a hold people to notice your site out of the thousands and thousands of sites out there. There is little point in taking the time and going to the expense of having a business website if no one ever sees it. Article marketing is no different than any other form of marketing on the Internet and that if you do it accurately you can be rewarded. ... (read more)

24. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR GREAT DEALS!
September 24, 2008
Every single Powerseller that I spoke with told me several stories about one little deal or something that they found for free that made them a ton of money. One of them told me about how he goes to swap meets and watches the buyers all day looking for one item that a bunch of them seem to be buying. He then buys one for himself and tracks down the manufacturer so that he can sell the product on eBay. This is an awesome idea because really what he is doing is market research by watching the buyers at the swap meet. In addition, this same Powerseller oftentimes buys a large quantity off a swap ...

25. Having a great postcards design is not enough
September 24, 2008
Postcards design is one of the most overrated traits of postcards.
Many marketers today act as if the success or failure of a direct mail postcard campaign lies on the postcards design itself. They pay little attention to other advantages that postcards offer. Do not get me wrong, having a nice postcards design is important but it is not the end all and be all of why postcards are effective. Here are several traits of postcards that you should take advantage of.
