Yet Another Grande Dame of Texas Passes On
I dunno. Does Anna Nicole Smith qualify as a grande dame of Texas?
I’m sorry for her friends and loved ones, I suppose, but I only knew the woman as a sex object. It never occurred to me to want to know about her personally. I’m sorry if that sounds cold.
Smith isn’t to be likened to Marilyn Monroe, either. She seems to me, at least physically, to be more like Jayne Mansfield, whom I think was a vastly more principled person. The documentaries and interviews I’ve seen of Mansfield made me much more interested in her as a person than I ever was in Smith.
My favorite memories of Anna Nicole Smith, if I can say such a thing, were of coming across her Guess? jeans magazine ads. Man! She really was a beautiful young woman. Positively bonerific.
And then, of course, Playboy. She was never a particular favorite of mine, but she was pretty amazing as far as silicone goes.
Oh, well. What a weird, short life.
