    Wait, we Northerners think Southerners have long hair? I thought long hair on dudes was a progressive thing in the 70s.


    And yes, I just chose to pick up on the most boring bit of that whole thing. I can be a little nit-picky.

    Ha, Lex! Lex was also an early Cherry Ames love interest, before Wade the Fighter Pilot Turned Auto Mechanic came on the scene. Maybe that was my problem all along. She wanted to be a nurse more than she wanted to get laid; I wanted to get laid more than I wanted to be a nurse.


    Maybe we should also do some of these from the 80's. I have a few Silhouette teenage editions from 1983 or so that would be amusing.

    @TheFormerJuneBronson: OMG Cherry Ames!!! My mom turned me on to those when I was a little girl - if I remember right SHE read them when she was a little girl (are they that old?). I loved Cherry with her crisp nurse's uniform. Sigh. Ah, I love nostalgia.

    @largirl: That's how I got into them! And yes, they are that old--the first few are from the forties and take her through nursing school and straight into being an Army nurse during WWII. They're fresh in my mind because I've just been re-reading them. They are good autumn books. The vast majority take place between August and Christmas. I don't think Helen Wells liked springtime much.

    @TheFormerJuneBronson: Bless it.
    I have a deep an abiding love for Cherry Ames books. She always had some hot man lurking. I really wanted her to get married to one- and still have a career. But I suppose that was considered impossible at the time, which is why she always leaving the men behind.

    @SisterMaryMartha: I always wanted that for her too. The new man in every volume...it was all such a tease! I think it may have given me the impression that there would be handsome, charming, intelligent young men everywhere I went when I grew up, too. Maybe in the forties, there were. In the nineties? Overgrown man-boys, at best.
