Global warming stole scarf season the way Trump steals teleprompters. National Scarf Day and it’s 80 degrees? That’s not fall. That’s a hostage situation. All of us sitting on our plaid and boots like Isadora Duncan waiting for a gust of cool air that never comes.
What a beautiful piece of writing. Not only on its own merits, but also because it reminded me of my wife of 50 years. I remember when we first met as teenagers, that she and her girlfriend talked about Isadora a great deal. I just searched her library, though, and although I can find books that we read back then, I did not find a copy of "My Life." But like Ms. Pennacchia, who is brought to tears when talking about Isadora, I am brought to tears for the same reason when discussing my wife. Thank you for making me remember this episode from our early life.
When I became a paying subscriber to Wonkette I asked Ms. Schoenkopf that if I answered three questions correctly would I get Ms. Pennacchia's voice on my answering machine. She laughed at me and said she'd have to come up with three good questions.
I think it should also be National Scarf-It-Down Day, as in "let's go to our favorite taco place and scarf down some tacos" or "let's go to that ice cream shoppe and scarf down some deliciously cool and creamy ice cream."
I saw a ballet about Isadora Duncan at the Royal Ballet in London. I was 16 and have been obsessed with her ever since. MY obsession led me to learn about Tamara De Lempicka and I have many prints of her paintings.
Isadora: born in San Francisco. Lived in Oakland. Became world famous and infamous, the latter for being very very lefty. Was citizen of Soviet Union at the time of her death in 1927. Cremated; ashes in the Columbarium at Cimetière du Père-Lachaise in Paris.
It's also National Chocolate Milk day, if you don't feel like wearing a scarf. Mr. cc has been looking forward to it all week. He already bought his chocolate milk today.

I used to have a Tazmanian Devil scarf. It has gone the way of all flesh, but I got a lot of good use out of that scarf.
And it had the Tazmanian Devil on it.
Sorry, Robin. I love that Chopin piece but her interpretation reminded me of “the Dude’s “ landlord’s interpretive dance recital
My poor Tom Baker scarf hangs in the closet, waiting for the cold weather to finally arrive.
Here's all I got, scarf-wise:
"...turquoise scarf rolled up over a Merc Montclair"
-- "When Big Joan Sets Up" from Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
I don't think about scarves very often but your mention of them brought to mind Katherine Hepburn, who often wore one, and looked great.
I borrowed a nice big soft comfy looking scarf from my Sister in Law. Then I went "Ahhh." And she went "gotta get me a new scarf."
Hey Robyn, my kid just announced a new state of kid's being: bi-petual! Likes cats AND dogs!!

How about, "Let's go to our nation's capital and scarf down some Epstein Files?"
Scarves shmarves. It's 77F/25C in the desert.
Oh my God! What did I watch last night?
