...reports that his mother wasn't really sure who it was that was responsible for the sad event and took the easy way out by blaming the disaster on the last drunken longshoreman who paid a quarter to have his way with her down at the pier in Chelsea one night when she got lucky and went home with a grand total of two dollars and seventy-five cents, for the night's work and her bloomers around her ankles. Where they usually were when she was working for her meager living, doing the only thing that God gave...
Those early minis were also something of a joke, of course. Some Quant creations consisted of less material than a Victorian hanky and-at eleven inches above the knee-barely covered the area once reserved for underwear. On the way up from the pert Chelsea shopgirl look, the ultrashort skirt was given the imprimatur of couture by Parisian Designer André Courrèges in the middle '60s. The mini's bon voyage across the Atlantic was largely the work of Enfant Terrible Rudi Gernreich, who was not only the first U.S. designer to bare the thigh...
UNFORTUNATELY, the Thayers' 42-year-old daughter, Chelsea--a good name for some from that younger, suspect generation--doesn't quite agree with her mother's estimation of Norman.

Jane has virtually no role to work with, since we know nothing about her except that her husband "didn't work out" and she cannot stand her father, though she wants to love...
...Chelsea and the dentist drop off Billy (Doug McKeon) A jaded kid from the city. Billy is a precocious adept at the fine art of "cruising chicks." At first he is insolent, recalcitrant obnoxious--a caricature of the stereotype of the urban brat Predictably. Ethel, Norman and nature work miracles on the lot in four lightening week's. The rest is connect-the-dots. By the end of On Golden Pondso many things have fixed themselves up that one has the feeling that Skylab has fallen out of the heavens and, after disintegrating, magically reassembled itself on earth Nice...
