    The Vandellas and Martha

    International Women's Day coincides with Mardi Gras this year.

    Interesting juxtaposition.

    I have fond memories of boogalooing to Martha and the Vandellas.  

    And for the record, as a woman I have no problem with the juxtaposition.

    I was about to do a big old essay on the meaning of the contrast of Martha Washington and Mardis Gras on International Women's Day but something else that would mean a whole lot less bloviating came to mind. Thank God for that.
