Mae West: Positive Interventions

Just when you thought you saw every trifle or doo-dad linked to MAE WEST, there is one novelty that might be amusing and useful, and it costs less than $5.
• • Cards with Sound, the seller, imperfectly describes it exactly like this: "Birthday Hollywood Musical Greeting Card — — Mae West As Tina [sic] in "I'm No Angel" Movie — — Song: "I'm No Angel" . . . and, yoo-hoo!, someone should tell them Mae's character was TIRA (not Tina).
• • Take this as an observation — — not as a recommendation. We have not seen it in person.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
• • Mae West said: "I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure."
• • Pennsylvania-based Denise Clegg used Mae's one-liner as a trampoline, jumping off that observation to suggest: "We should all take Ms. West to heart when choosing positive interventions — for ourselves or others — — according to two studies recently described by Stephen Schueller in The Journal of Positive Psychology."
• • Denise Clegg added: "Positive interventions are exercises designed to increase well-being. A 2009 meta-analysis by researchers Nancy Sin and Sonja Lyubormirsky shows that several positive interventions reliably and significantly achieve that goal and also reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety."
• • Then Denise Clegg waxed rhetorical: So the question becomes, you can boost your happiness, but can you sustain it? Yes. By doing what you like and liking what you do. ... [Source: "Netflix and Mae West on Positive Interventions" by Denise Clegg for Positive Psychology News Daily on 21 July 2010].
• • That pop culture title paired with Mae's sweet still as Maude Triplett, curvy in a slinky gown, ought to draw in a few insomniacs to read Clegg's "come on get happy" pro-active column referencing Schueller's studies.
• • Certainly, the Brooklyn blonde is the poster girl for upbeat. The comedienne claimed that she carefully channeled her thoughts to keep dark clouds away. Not for Mae a day nettled and grey, her head hanging on its pole of wistful dreams. Better to have devoted the daylight to rehearsing, planning, and writing a few pages loud with possibility.
• • Speaking of smile potential — — and aiming higher than a musical greeting card with Mae mechanically crooning "I'm No Angel" — — there is a chance to come up and see Mae on Saturday evening, 14 August 2010, thereby doing what you like and liking what you do.
• • It's one night only so plan to come up and see Mae — — and Sophie Tucker. Details below.
