Mae West!
What a one of a kind woman she was, God broke the mold after that one was made, you gotta love her!
What a one of a kind woman she was, God broke the mold after that one was made, you gotta love her!
A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.
A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him.
A man in the house is worth two in the street.
A man's kiss is his signature.
A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be in love.
All discarded lovers should be given a second chance, but with somebody else.
Any time you got nothing to do - and lots of time to do it - come on up.
Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.
Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.
Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.
Don't marry a man to reform him - that's what reform schools are for.
Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.
Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.
He's the kind of man a woman would have to marry to get rid of.
His mother should have thrown him out and kept the stork.
I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.
I believe that it's better to be looked over than it is to be overlooked.
I didn't discover curves; I only uncovered them.
I like a man who's good, but not too good - for the good die young, and I hate a dead one.
I never loved another person the way I loved myself.
I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.
I only have 'yes' men around me. Who needs 'no' men?
I only like two kinds of men, domestic and imported.
I see you're a man with ideals. I better be going before you've still got them.
I speak two languages, Body and English.
I'd like to see Paris before I die. Philadelphia will do.
When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better.
Save a boyfriend for a rainy day - and another, in case it doesn't rain.
I've been in more laps than a napkin.
It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it.
Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.
and my favorite...
Love thy neighbor - and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier.
Thanks again to Toni..

Happy Quotable Sunday! ;)
She was something, huh?? And by today's "beauty" standards, people would think that she was obese and probably wouldn't even give her the time of day. Just goes to show you...people are too quick to judge by the outside of one's "packages" when all of the "good stuff is in the inside :)
