From: Bee-dubya-ell Georgia O'Keefe could do the bedroom, Mary Cassatt the living room and Frida Kahlo could do the kitchen and bathroom. Yeah, I know they're all dead, but so what? They wouldn't do it if they were still alive so what difference does it make? |

(I've got a long list of good ones, but I don't have the list separated into who's living and who's not. Ann was just the first live one I spotted.) John |

Many of you will not be old enought to remember, but there was a carpenter named Christine Keeler. One screw and the cabinet fell apart. Moving on now . . . . |

From: Liz the Squeak Painting isn't construction... it's interior design. 25 years ago when I left school, I wanted to be a painter and decorator (as they were called then, in the days before Laurence Llewellyn Bowen and Handy Andy) but no-one would take a female apprentice. How different life could have been if they had.... LTS |
