That Girl

Anyone remember Ann Marie? She was the main character in the sitcom "That Girl" which ran for 5 seasons on ABC starting in 1966.

Ann Marie was the quintessential "it girl." She was beautiful, funny, independent, compassionate, polished and polite. She was the girl you wanted to be your daughter, sister, or best friend.

Here's a walk down memory lane:

"Hailing from the small New York town of Brewster, (where she originally worked as a meter maid), Ann is determined to make a big show-business success for herself in New York City (even though she is convinced that she has a rotten name for an actress.) Luckily, she's blessed with luxurious brunette hair, a sparkling smile and a perky personality, not to mention a fabulous apartment and a colorful wardrobe filled with mod dresses, flashy earrings and funky sunglasses."




























So, I want to update "That Girl" for the new millinium. It reads like this:

"Hailing from the Wilmington area in Delaware, Taneesha is determined to make a big success for herself in Washington, DC. In addition to her business acumen, she's blessed with beautiful brunette hair, a sparkling smile and a perky personality, not to mention a fabulous apartment and a colorful wardrobe filled with mod dresses, dangly earrings and cool sunglasses."

Taneesha is pulling off her new life in Washington with such aplomb! Originally in D.C. as a Flight Attendant--she was my 1 of my 2 roommates in training--Taneesha left the airline to pursue a life here on the ground. My 20-something friend is determined to be successful and build her career and find love here in our nation's capitol. (So, if you know anyone who we can set Neesh up with, send him my way....)

Neesh and I had lunch today, and I always leave in such awe of her! It's not easy moving to a big, bustling city where you know very few people. She is settling in very nicely, in a gorgeous apartment in the city that she is slowly but surely furnishing and decorating.

She is beautiful, funny, independent, compassionate, polished and polite. She is the girl you want to be your daughter, sister, or best friend.

Taneesha is "That Girl" for our time!
