Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

March 5th
Today I went to a place called Goodreads, it is a kind of litrary salo which is useful for a girl that wants to improve her mind like I do. So I wondered how I would be a social success there it is quite different from New York but luckily I met a gentleman called Mr. Paul Bryant who took an interest in me and wanted to help me improve my mind. Mr. Bryant said it is very very easy you just post a review that is a bit riskay and has an artistic picture at the top. I said I did not know how to do artistic pictures but Mr. Bryant said you just borrow one from another review like from Miss Lisa Jayne who is very very popular. I said isnt that stealing but Mr. Bryant said no it is an act of ommadge and she will be delighted.
Then I said what do I write under the picture and he said you just be yourself and you will see the votes come rolling in, like I said it is very very easy. So I copied out what I wrote in my diary for today and Mr. Bryant gave it to his friend Dr. Rayner to post and they said I would be an Internet celebrity before I knew it. I said that was very very interesting but was there a place on the Internet where they could buy me an emerald bracelet since a girl doesn't want to waste her time. But Mr. Bryant said that unfortunately he was to busy today to go shopping.
I like the Internet very very much but I think I will go back to New York because the gentlemen there know how to treat a lady.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, after all. :p

I have thought about it Sofia and you are very very right, votes are nice but diamonds are a more sincere way for a gentleman to show he appreciates a girls mind.
Manny, did Jessica help you write this? And why isn't there a picture of her in it?
Manny wrote: "I have thought about it Sofia and you are very very right, votes are nice but diamonds are a more sincere way for a gentleman to show he appreciates a girls mind."Appreciation is subjective to the subject and the object (gentleman + girl's brains). Here we can follow the money trail as we do in mysteries. :)
Where are the "gentlemen" of whom you write? ;)
Cecily wrote: "Where are the "gentlemen" of whom you write? ;)"Lorelei uses the word in a rather specialised sense, to mean "male persons willing to buy her expensive jewelry". I am not sure there are any on Goodreads, but apparently plenty in 1926 New York.
Ha ha. I suspect that is almost the opposite of a true gentleman!
I hope you are right, since it certainly improves my chances of being a true gentleman. I liked reading about Lorelei's adventures, but I am sure we would not have got along.
haha! beautifully said
Thank you Aliza I see you are also a girl that wants to improve her mind.
Hayden, I know we've only just met, but will you buy me an emerald bracelet?
Manny wrote: "Hayden, I know we've only just met, but will you buy me an emerald bracelet?"i would be a waste of your time if i didn't now wouldn't i? i'm surprised you're asking for emerald since anything but diamond is rather depressing.
Emeralds are a girl's second best friend.
When we know each other a little better I will let you buy me some diamonds. It is important that a man has something to look forward to.
Manny wrote: "When we know each other a little better I will let you buy me some diamonds. It is important that a man has something to look forward to."of course. i will wait until tomorrow to start the diamond hunt. until then i will talk and talk and talk some more so we know each other because you have brains and i talk with something to say, unlike those enervating gentlemen who talk with nothing to say.
Hayden I am very glad we understand each other so well you are a real gentleman. I prefer Cartier because I am a traditional girl. Tiffany is good too. But don't believe that stupid song all the stones have to be square cut. You must allow me my little capreeces then we will get along.
Manny wrote: "Hayden I am very glad we understand each other so well you are a real gentleman. I prefer Cartier because I am a traditional girl. Tiffany is good too. But don't believe that stupid song all the st..."it shall be cartier and it shall be large enough for others to see it glint from across a room. i shall give i to you at luncheon tomorrow for i am a gentleman who really knows how to treat a girl.
Hayden you are not at all like Mr. Bryant I hope he is reading this he could learn something. Please pick me up at 12.30 for lunch at the Ritz we will sit at my usual table. If I may give you a little tip you should offer me the bracelet after the caviar but before the lobster that is when a girl is weakest. I would not say this to everyone.
i am a literary gentleman so i will offer a novel with the bracelet to improve your mind as well as your wrist.
Hayden I will come to Goodreads more I did not know their were people like you here. Please make sure the novel has a green cover to match the emeralds these little details are so important.
"I'm going back to New York City. I do believe I've had enough."

loved the review! very very Lorelei :)
Thank you Romina you are a very very perseptive reader.
Manny, I cannot believe you have (voluntarily??) subjected yourself to the torture of reading this thing.
Elena, I am very very sorry that I did not see your comment until now. I read the book when my shoulder was very very broken and it took my mind off things. Some very very unkind people say I do not have a mind but I am sure you know me better than that.
Hayden and Manny. Thank you both for the heartiest chuckles I’ve had since closing Lorelei’s diary.
Thank you Susie I see you understand the filosofy of emerald bracelets better than Elena.
this review is perfect 😆❤️
Thank you s. you are very very kind. When we know each other a little better I will let you buy me an emerald bracelet.
Best review of my week! Made me smile. Thanks for the laughs. I’ll skip this but I hope you’re loving that emerald bracelet!
Thank you Karina for your very very thoughtful comment. I can see you are also a girl who wants to improve her mind.
Sorry for the question... How do i add an image to the review? (as i see here) thanks.
