I received an e-mail from a "fan" a few days ago who had a laundry list of complaints about me and the blog.
First, she complained about my name.
"You've said that your ex-colleagues named you Sandy; I much prefer this name-less derivative and more feminine than Stana."
Then, she complained about the way I dress.
"My female friends all say that however good one's legs are, there is an age when the mini ceases to be attractive. I have to agree, so may we have a cover picture of Sandy in a longer skirt please."
Finally, she complained about what I wrote.
"Finally, from a feminist (I hope) I was mildly upset by your use of the expression 'Birds' for the girls of the King's Road generation."
So now it's your turn to get it off your chest.
Send me your complaints and I will consider them. And after I consider them, I may take them to heart or ignore them completely (as I did with the three enumerated above).
