A long, boring summer - that's what Anastasia has to look forward to when her best friend goes off to camp. She's thrilled when old Mrs. Bellingham answers her ad for a job as a Lady's Companion.  Anastasia is sure her troubles are over - she'll be busy and earn money!

But she doesn't expect to have to polish silver and serve at Mrs. Bellingham's granddaughter's birthday party as a maid!  As if that isn't bad enough, she accidentally drops a piece of silverware down the garbage disposal and must use her earnings to pay for it!  Is the summer destined to be a disaster?

Were her secrets all she was hiding?

Faith's dark eyes are newly lit by romance, and Dana is happily dating Brett, but Shelley has problems. She's outraged because her new bracelets are missing - and she's not the only victim of theft. All is not well at Baker House, but who would steal? Everyone knows everyone else so well - except for Mary Beth. She's aloof, quiet, and seems to be keeping secrets....But what could a Canby Hall girl have to hide?

Photo of the Day

I just watched the wonderfully weepy 1944 movie Since You Went Away and even though Guy Madison was only in it for a few scenes, he left such an impression that the film studio was inundated with letters wanting to know who he was. He sure was handsome!!!

I am really digging these Patrick Nagel-inspired t-shirts! Mighty Fine gave the women of X-Men, G.I. Joe, Star Trek and Jem and the Holograms the Nagel treatment. See 'em below and get 'em here!

Lucrezia Borgia by Maria Bellonci

Among the violent personalities of the High Renaissance, Lucrezia Borgia is chiefly remembered as a raven-haired poisoner. But the Lucrezia that Maria Bellonci depicts here is a passionate, womanly figure moving uncertainly through the Papal court and through the intrigues, ambitions and political chicanery that swirled about her.

Married three times for her family's political advantae Lucrezia also entertained, for her own pleasure, a long list of eminent lovers, particularly the poet Pietro Bembo. Her father, Pope Alexander VI, emerges as a fiercely devoted parent while the catlike and sinister Cesare Borgia is seen as a relentless and unscrupulous power-seeker.

Winner of the Viareggio Literary Award and the Galante Prize in Italy upon its first publication in 1953, this celebrated biography is, in the author's words, 'an eternal feminine story swinging between consent and rebellion'.

GROWING UP CAN REALLY BE THE PITS

At fourteen, Sylvia Eisenstein's beautiful long auburn hair and gorgeous eyes have earned her a place as a highly paid model, seen in countless magazine ads as the Miss Nature Coconut Creme Rinse Shampoo and Conditioner girl. She's a brat and she knows it, but she's also sitting on top of the world, so she really doesn't care. Yes, Sylvia's got it all - looks, fame, even a boy who's crazy about her.

Then beautiful, sexy, twelve-year-old Tammy turns up in front of the photographer's camera, and suddenly Sylvia is wondering if she's all washed up. Desperate, she tries to dream up something really spectacular to help her career, only to discover that sometimes spectacular isn't the way to go. Sometimes it's better just to be yourself...
