The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn MonroeIn November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Mafia Honey, or Maf for short. He had an instinct for celebrity. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. For Liver Treat with a side order of National Biscuits. Maf was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life, first in New York, where she mixed with everyone who was anyone the art dealer Leo Castelli, Lee Strasberg and the Actors Studio

In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Mafia Honey, or Maf for short. He had an instinct for celebrity. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. For Liver Treat with a side order of National Biscuits.

Maf was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life, first in New York, where she mixed with everyone who was anyone--the art dealer Leo Castelli, Lee Strasberg and the Actors Studio crowd, Upper West Side migr s--then back to Los Angeles. She took him to meet President Kennedy and to Hollywood restaurants, department stores, and interviews. To Mexico, for her divorce.

With style, brilliance, and panache, Andrew O'Hagan has drawn a one-of-a-kind portrait of the woman behind the icon, and the dog behind the woman.

Provoking but not suspenseful
Format: Kindle
Mia Sheridans thrillers are one of my top favorites, her writing style is so raw and beautiful. I wanted to love this one as much as Bad Mother or All the Little Raindrops but it just didn't hit the same mark for me. The book starts off with a bang, but soon becomes a bit more dormant for the middle portion. I still enjoyed the book, but I think I had a preconceived notion it would be more along those lines, I felt the plot of this one wasn't as suspenseful, it was fairly straight forward which is fine just not what I expected. Or maybe I'm just desensitized from all the thrillers I read. I did love the themes of how trauma, resilience and love weave together, a chance at a do over. I also felt Seraphinas portion was a little clunky and illogical in the overall storyline. Regardless I love Mia Sheridans writing and won't stray away from her thrillers.

Great for softening and conditioning “private” hair!!
Scent: Palo Santo
I’m not trying to shock an offend anybody, but this is a secret I think other women would want to know. A couple of years ago, I was walking down an aisle at the drug store, looking for some way to condition and soften my increasingly graying “girl beard” and I bought Cremo oil thinking if it can work for men’s beards then why can’t it work on other hair. I tried it and I’ve been using it ever since. It immediately softens and conditions and smells incredible. I’m sure that Cremo never envisioned it being used this way but, then again, it all depends what or who’s “beard” you’re talking about doesn’t it? Just saying. Maybe Cremo should start a line for intimate hair called “Private Reserve.” 🤔

Great Price, Last Long, Thick Consistency Smells Great
Scent: Casked Vanilla, Scent: Casked Vanilla
This Casked Vanilla Cremo Beard oil is great. I apply one dropper usually after a shower with a damp beard. To me it absorbs better that way. It doesn’t cause me any skin irritation, the longevity of it last pretty much all day and doesn’t loose smell or consistency and I’m outside for work everyday. Also moisturizing texture it has (whew) Great. Will definitely buy another scent maybe or stick with this one.
