In other words,
"A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up...When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before." ~Mae West~
And:
It's better to be looked over than overlooked.
A hard man is good to find.
Men are my life, diamonds are my career!
When women go wrong, men go right after them!
When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad, I'm better.
Marriage is a great institution. I'm not ready for an institution.
It's not the man in your life that counts. It's the life in your man.
Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
I believe in censorship. After all, I made a fortune out of it.
I only like two kinds of men: domestic and foreign.
Too much of a good thing is wonderful.
I'm no model lady. A model's just an imitation of the real thing.
Don't marry a man to reform him. That's what reform schools are for.
It's hard to be funny when you have to be clean.
I wrote the story myself. It's all about a girl who lost her reputation but never missed it.
It ain't sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any.
Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.
Good girls go to heaven. Bad girls go everywhere else.
I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.
Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired.
I do all my writing in bed; everybody knows I do my best work there.
Few men know how to kiss well. Fortunately, I've always had time to teach them.
I always save one boyfriend for a rainy day . . . and another in case it doesn't rain.
Why don't you come sometime and see me? I'm home every evening . . . Come up, and I'll tell your fortune.
I freely chose the kind of life I led because I was convinced that a woman has as much right as a man to live the way she does if she does no actual harm to society.
The man I don't like doesn't exist.
I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.
It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it.
I'm not good and tired, just tired.
Men are easy to get but hard to keep.
On style: It's all right for a perfect stranger to kiss your hand as long as he's perfect.
On love: A man's kiss is his signature.
On growth: He who hesitates is a damn fool.
On desire: Sex is an emotion in motion....love is what you make it and who you make it with.

Mae West is numbered among my favorite platinum blondes ;+). When Somebody on Facebook shared one of Mae's quotations yesterday, it naturally got me to investigating and collecting more of her quips. There's a lot of truth in what she says, isn't there?!
I trust there's something here that will at the very least, provoke a smile (and if it doesn't, please, have your pulse checked, lol!!)
Happy Weekend~
