Lingual Ladies (Put A Frame On It)

lyrics by Adeena Karasick

And it’s Kelsey Grammar’s crazy bananas RHWOBH “star” ex-wife Camille Grammar, who posed for Playboy’s College Girls April/May 1996 while a Film and Video major at NYU. Camille’s bio:

As a diehard rock-and-roll fan, Camille would like to put her training in film to good use as director of music videos. She also likes to paint, write poetry and go to the movies and off-Broadway plays. If you have ugly feet, a hairy back or a bad attitude you need not inquire about a date. But if you’re sensitive, creative, have soft lips and a nice smile you’d at least stand a chance.

admittedly, we’re not totally jazzed about shriver for the choice of guest editor–her tastes run more to mary oliver.  but at least having shriver on board will save us all from 100 pages of Maya Angelou reprints.  unless that’s a part of the contract as guest editor (probably is).

appropriately, the issue will hit news stands on a most literary date–March 15th.
