Books From the Dept of Blind Love

Regarding Raymond Chandler and his first wife:
“Cissy was a raging beauty, a strawberry blonde with skin I used to love to touch,” Chandler would say later. “I don’t know how I ever managed to get her.” It took awhile: Cissy, twice-married, a former New York model who liked to do housework in the nude, kept him at arm’s length at first.
Cissy and Chandler didn’t marry until 1924, when Chandler’s mother—with whom he’d been living—died at last from an agonizing cancer. Only then, or a little later, did Chandler learn that Cissy was not eight years older than him, as he’d thought, but eighteen. He was 35, and he’d married a woman of 53.
Whoa, 18 years!!! That's nothin'.
hell i could see myself with someone 18 years my junior, as long as the State doesn't mind my sleeping with a 4 year old
@2: Yeah, I think the state might have a problem with that.
I'm only sad that they don't have a photo of her at the link.
A 53 year old friend of mine married a 34 yo chick last year -- that age difference seems just right to him.
