<![CDATA[Etiquette For The Recently Deflowered Girl]]> Have you ever wondered about the proper thing to say after you've been deflowered during a trans-Pacific flight? Just follow the late, great Edward Gorey's advice for "girls over the threshold to womanhood."

Found Objects has unearthed the 1965 book The Recently Deflowered Girl — illustrated by Edward Gorey and ostensibly written by "Hyacinthe Phypps" — an etiquette book parody that instructs young ladies on what to say after losing their virginity. A variety of common first time scenarios are covered, including deflowerment by a mustachioed marimba player, a famous crooner, and the ghost of Rudolph Valentino at a seance. The book is out of print, but fortunately every page has been scanned, so it can continue to "serve the current generation of young ladies as it served their mothers." [Found Objects]

<![CDATA[Poetry In Motion]]> Elizabeth Bishop. Laurence Ferlinghetti. Sarah Palin? Yup, there's a movement afoot to make the hottest gov from the coldest state...poet laureate. Argues Julian Gough, "A great poet needs to leave open the door between the conscious and unconscious; Sarah Palin has removed her door from its hinges. A great poet does not self-censor; Sarah Palin seems authentically innocent of what she is saying. She could be the most natural, visionary poet since William Blake." Here's a Palin haiku, courtesy of Slate: These corporations / Today it was AIG/ Important call, there. Click for the full, ahem, oeuvre. [New Yorker via Prospect, Slate]
