Arthur Godfrey drank Lipton Tea, smoked Chersterfield cigarettes, sang, played ukulele, had a palamino horse named Goldie and fired his co-host, Julius LaRosa, live on the air. What's not to like? The girl who's "too sexy" is Gloria Stavers. She was the genius mastermind of Sixteen Magazine. She used a sort of teen shorthand with words like fave (favortite) and Cuz (because). Gloria paid close attention to the fan letters sent mostly by teen & preteen girls, and based her magazine on their whims and wants. She also photographed the bands. Tony Barrow, press officer to the Beatles, credits Stavers with providing "significant help" towards the task of fast-tracking the lads to the top of US charts.
All my life things have been what they have been. I thought I was on top of the world when my boss over at the Church Cake Sale Management Company put me in charge of measuring kitchen tables: But never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would become the junior assistant to the assistant of the assistant president of The Miniature Cattle Display Club here in Spiderbone Illinois. It's as if I was drinking a Rob Roy with Roy Clark or hailing a cab for Haley Mills or...dang, I had another one, but it slipped my mind. But anyway my recent appointment has made me the toast-of-the-town in a town where toasting is not an activity to be taken lightly. It seems like just days ago I was living in the boiler room at the Moose Lodge. Now I'm living in the laundry room of a swell apartment building. Things just always seem to work out good for me. Who knows, someday I might own a bait shop or become a camp host! Oh yeah...now I remember, or like tossing a beach ball with Lucille Ball.
