    Oh Gawker, you are showing me images of Judy Garland, or Madonna's crotch, just to taunt me. Let me prove it by clicking 'Submit'

    Let me see if I have this. The ABA Journal is using the Wizard of Oz as a professional template.

    Somehow I think that might reveal a bit more than they intend.

    I just would have been pissed finding out I could have used the shoes the entire time, and I ended up going through all that crap, including the flying monkeys, which are truly scary.

    Ah, articles from the ABA Journal which frequently made me splutter and spit tacks were one of the big reasons I declined to renew my membership. That, and the Hertz logo on the membership card. The bar should be set just a teensy bit higher, imho.

    Really, I get the author's point, but this analogy seems strained at best.

    Clearly someone hasn't seen the cut footage where Dorothy asked the Wizard for a jazz cigarette, a copy of Dark Side of the Moon and a bean bag chair.

    Breathe, breathe in the air.

    Don't be afraid to care.

    Leave but don't leave me.

    Look around and choose your own ground.


    Dorothy knows: there is no dark side to the Moon.

    And she overcame her fall into poppy field abuse, which is a vital lesson for all of us struggling with floral and/or opiate addiction.

    Ummmm, free trip to Kansas? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer, but I kind of resent a blanket statement about a group of professional women basically involving "Hey, act more like a beloved childhood heroine/Judy Garland portrayal and you'll be better at your job because your ovaries wont be bossing you around so much."

    At first I was going to say, "yes, but they made the Scarecrow the mayor!" but that actually seems to be randomlawyer's point: that women in the legal profession are not assertive enough with their accomplishments and/or demanding of recognition. Dunno what legal jezzies think about that.

    @Dodgergirl: when I got the email update from ABAJournal this morning with the caption "too many women lawyers like Oz's Dorothy" I didn't open it because that didn't sound nice....I assumed they were saying we all think we can just click our heels and get where we want to be. I mean, it says TOO MANY. I'm off to read that email now. BRB.

    @femputer: ah yes; too many of us are "like her" b/c when push comes to shove (and the wizard asks us what we want), we don't day what we want for ourselves. Well, that's nicer than what I'd assumed it would be about.

    Also, everybody knows that the Wizard of Oz is really a parable supporting the free and unlimited coinage of silver. http://www.halcyon.com/piglet/Populism.htm

    @CollegeCamel: The small, possibly nippy dog that all women should carry in their purse/bicycle basket.

    Fun fact: Toto was a cairn terrier, not a Yorkie, like a lot of people think. Another fun fact: My cousin has a Cairn, and it's pure, unadulterated evil.
