That red/orange skirt suit is the spittig image of a 1930s I bought recently off ebay. The model looks very smart in her tailored outfit and so very different from Avon Lady Victor. depicted recently in Jezebel, who touts his goods in his paint splattered workmen's clothes.

I can still remember my mom's Avon lady. Her name was Bernita. My mom loves Avon's perfume, "Candid." Still wears it today.

Aw, I read the comments on the Daily Mail page and now I'm annoyed. Is it possible for a photo of a woman to be published without someone making a shitty comment about it?

@NellMood: The American poster has attracted negative scores from other Daily Mail readers, which is an encouraging sign.

@NellMood: Plus it's the Daily Mail the audience of which is people who buy their newpaper to read articles chastising women, immigrants and fat shaming celebrities - the trifecta of DM reportage.

All I can think of when I hear "Avon" is a poor purple-faced Edward Scissorhands.

@bananastand: Just close your eyes and imagine twirling in the snow while Danny Elfman's song "Ice Dance" plays in the background...I do that atleast once a week.

I'm sure a "let's all go door to door" comment would be a little on the nose.

When I was little, I broke the leg off a Madame Alexander doll that had been my mother's. I was mortified. When she told me there was a doll hospital in New York that could fix her, I thought she was making things up--like Santa's Toyshop, which I knew by then to be a fiction.

Little Anne came back good as new.

Rest in peace, Mr. Chais.

He repaired a doll that belonged to my mother and then to me... over 50 years old. I still sleep with it. He did a fantastic job... what a shame that such an institution will disappear.

I always wanted to stop by the doll hospital. Walked by it many times, intrigued.

I hope he and some dolly angels are whooping it up in the afterlife.

I never had a doll operated on there (it was way out of our family's budget) but it wasn't far from where I grew up and from time to time my mom and I would pass by it. We'd say a prayer for all the sick dollys in the hospital. Oh dear. Who will cure them now?

I had some book as a kid that talked about the doll hospital and it sounded so cool. I didn't know it actually existed and now that I know, it's closing! So unfair.

Oh, that's so sad. My old nail place used to look directly into the doll hospital but you couldn't see into the windows very well, unfortunately!

Neutral Milk Hotel is the 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' of Indie Rock--you either love them or loathe them.

Me, I'm in the love camp, and wish to point out, Garcia Marquez won the Nobel prize for literature for that novel....

Although we agreed on almost every other band known to man, my ex- was deeply imbedded in the other camp. Philistine!
