Too bad – bron TEE just seems liked a wasted opportunity!

I know an Australian Bronte in her 30s. I assumed her name would be pronounced “Bron-tay” but she says “Bron-tee”. Not very nice sounding, despite the romantic connotations evoked by the literary reference.

KimR, Delilah will be NotD on 2/10.

Yikes, KimR – did I really nix Delilah? I guess I still find her story difficult, but if I can argue that there’s a feminist reading for Hester, and she’s really a worthy hero, well … you’re right. Delilah deserves the same consideration.

I can’t get to my NotD calendar right now, but I’ll put her in the rotation.

Hmmm. You nixed my idea last year when I said I liked “Delilah.” But you like Hester? As in Hester Prynne with the Scarlet Letter? Plus, it makes me think of Lester for a boy.

I actually kinda like Bronte, so I must be in the minority.

Also, don’t forget that NY is made up of more than Manhattan and the hipster areas of Brooklyn. There are also the less hip Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and the sad Staten Island. It’s not all cool people and thin mommies in skinny pants. There are a lot of places where girls with bleached, frizzy hair get their weekly manicures and tsawk like dis.
