Miss Abigail's Time Warp "old advice for contemporary dilemmas"...
posted by konolia (4 comments total)
 
A boy likes a girl who ...
smells like spring all year 'round ...
is prudent, but not prudish ...
smokes at home, drinks nowhere ...
improves on nature, but in moderation ...
appreciates football without looking as if she could play it ...
laughs, but not too loudly ...
doesn't knock the rock, but admits there's room for Bach ...
would rather bite her tongue than her nails ...
has opinions, but doesn't think they're the only ones ...
doesn't call him on the phone for no good reason ...
doesn't go to the beach dressed in a pocket hankie ...


Bwahahahaha...classic. (Me, I'm looking for a football-playin' kind of gal.) Thanks, konolia.

"Some young people have found the sexual excitement of petting so tempting that they have become absolutely irresponsible and play at petting as a game ~ a game to be played with any partner available."

My giddy aunt!

Good work konolia.

This is adorable! And some of the advice really is timeless. If only Cosmo, Glamour, and Elle would reprint some of this instead of their usual insipid trash. Thanks, konolia!
