There are times when we wish for some firmer conclusion about the sources of Page's chipper amorality. On the other hand, Gretchen Mol is so game and adorable as Page, so at ease with her own nakedness--not to mention so blithe in her disregard for everyone else's prudishness--that by the end of the film we just take Page to heart...
...start with Mag and add anything to the end.) This doesn’t even include the long list of names I could have been called if you follow the listings of alternate forms for Margaret in any baby book. Feel free to call me Gretel, Greta, Gretchen, Rita, Margie, Margery, Madge, Peg, Peggy, Pog, Maisie, Meg, Mog, and Daisy. Well, maybe not Pog—I’ve got to draw the line somewhere.The nickname and I have a very close, and often bizarre, relationship.

Hannah Teter, 19, and Gretchen Bleiler, 24, returned in time to take home gold and silver, respectively.

And they do it while eyeing their antagonist. "We'll be like hanging out at the top, and I'll say, like...
...Teter's bluffing - after all, she was the first woman to land a 900 in competition, and won?t reveal her new Olympic tricks (2002 gold medalist Kelly Clark, 22, and Elena Hight, 16, also made the U.S. women?s team). When she needs to escape the Gretchen grudge match, Teter meditates at a Benedictine monastery near her Vermont home. "I go there and kind of just forget about everything- my life, my stresses, my world," says Teter. She has also struck up friendships with the monks. ?They are sooooo cool,? she says. ?They are sooooo fun, and just super...
