Selected Weekly Saltiness: A STRITCH IN TIME
|
|
Letter from the Editors:
Darling Salties!
What can we say? This week has taken us on a bittersweet journey of ups and downs, triumphs and losses. Our hearts go out to those affected by the shocking Malaysian Airlines tragedy. It's heartbreaking news, and we can only hope the families and friends of victims are able to find some closure as more details emerge.
Thursday, the world bid goodbye to good-time gal, Elaine Stritch, the brassy "tart-tongued" legend of stage and screen, though many of us might remember her most recently as Jack Donaghy's loveably tenacious mom on "30 Rock." Stritch was 89, and was an original Saltie if ever we've seen one! At the top of the "Women We'd Like to Have a Cocktail and People Watch With." RIP Saltie Sister.
On the brighter side, we saw the first woman surmount the American Ninja Warrior finals course, we enjoyed ourselves a naked fritter(!), and we said hello again to the comedy genius of Weird Al - don't miss his grammar teacher's dream/modern texter's nightmare video for "Word Crimes" - it's a hoot!
Speaking of funny stuff, SAVE THE DATE! Salted Scarletry is sponsoring a FREE comedy night featuring up-and-coming female comedians on July 31st in NYC. It is a night not to be missed! Click here for more details and to RSVP. Limited space!
There's so much more below...onward!
Tartfully yours,
Jennilyn & Matt

A make-your-own bitters kit so we can mix up fancy, old-timey cocktails at home? Yes, please! You know all of those new hipster bars with all those drinks with the crazy names and potent potables? Save yourself the money and ironicly condescending looks when you don't know what goes in a Rusty Handlebar with this: Craft Your Own Bitters Kit from Hella Bitter. |

Rugged Grace
Aptly named " Rugged Grace" the ladies of the Harvard’s Women's Rugby Team sent a message to the world about body-love, positivity and acceptance. Teammates wrote what they loved and appreciated about each player on their body, "in the hopes of opening a visual discussion about beauty, strength, and appreciation." |
Surely, HerName
"Surnames are one of the unseen limbs of the old world. Giving a child the father’s last name is still a given." With all the gender-equality we've been fighting for, are we forgetting a very simple yet profound act of patriarchy - our last names? Molly Caro May faced confused, critical, and forewarning friends and family all because she wanted to give her daughter her last name. |
