Coffee, Tea or Me?
Coffee, Tea or Me? | Donald Bain, Baker Trudy, Jones Rachel
13 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Remember when flying was glamorous and sexy, even fun? When airline food was gourmet, everyone dressed up for a flight, and stewardesses catered to our every need-at least in our imaginations? This classic memoir by two audaciously outspoken young ladies, who lived and loved the free-spirited stewardess life, jets you back to those golden days of air travel-from the captain who's as subtle as a 747 when he's on the make to the passenger who mistakes the overhead luggage rack for an upper berth; from the names of celebrities who were a pleasure to serve (and some surprising notables on the "bad guy" list) to the origins of some naughty stereotypes-Spaniards are the best lovers, actors the most foul-mouthed. This huge bestseller, a First Class jet-age journal, offers a hilarious gold mine of outrageous anecdotes from the high-flying and amorous lives of those busty, lusty, adventuresome young women of the swinging '60s known as "stews."

1. I don't! I usually have a list of books I want and I buy from that. My husband, on the other hand, is a perfect book shopper- and always ends up getting great books that I love too!
2. Coffee! Only coffee forever!

TheSpineView ❤☕ Thanks for playing! 4y

This book caused such a scandal when it was released in the 60s. I remember it was verboten in our house—not for kids! It was actually written by a man, Donald Bain, though it was touted as a memoir by two “airline stewardesses. The “stews” were written as lusty and insatiable sex babes (naturally, in the male mind!). When I thought of the song, “No Sugar Tonight” I thought of this book...no sugar, and just no 🚫 to the book as well!

Cinfhen Ha!! Like your interpretation for this one ☝🏾 I remember this ( Coffee, Tea or Me?) as being a catch phrase 6y
gradcat @Cinfhen I‘m surprised that you remember that...it was a double-entendre for the times. Long time ago...and once again, I‘m showing my age! 😂😂 6y

SleepyDragon Never heard of this book, but it reminded me of Jeri Ryan in the movie "Down With Love." 6y
gradcat @NeesyBeth That‘s perfect! 👌🏻😂 6y
Crazeedi @gradcat @Cinfhen wow, totally forgot this, and how we used the phrase when our parents weren't around!😉 it was so racy and so verboten!!! 6y
Cinfhen So true @Crazeedi As a child it felt “sophisticated” using that phrase @gradcat 😂😂😂 6y

#ReadingResolutions #planes ✈️ So I watched some cheesy movies on cable this weekend & 'View From the Top' made me think of this book. It's another one that I snuck off of my parents bookshelf & read WAY too young. 😱A quite salacious look at the life of two airline 'stewardesses' (it was published in 1967) in the golden age of air travel. A bestseller & really sexist, it turned out not to be a memoir by 2 women, but fiction written by a man.🙄

PatriciaU Oh, you‘re really taking me back with this one! It was right up there with Xaviera Hollander‘s Happy Hooker books as FORBIDDEN! 😂😂😂😂😂 7y
BethFishReads I read this book too! Way back when. And @PatriciaU the happy hooker. Hahaha 7y
Annl I read this book also! 7y

Bklover I read this one too- it was my mom‘s! 7y
ReadZenRites Oh, yes, my mom had a shelf of those too! They were mysteriously purged around the time my dad was complaining that he wasn‘t allowed to call his admin assistants at work “his girls” anymore. 😂😂😂 7y
DebinHawaii @Bklover @ReadZenRites Yay! You can join the 'parents with questionable libraries' club too! 😆 7y

TODAY'S PROMPT: READING DRINK GO2

Hot or cold tea is my reading drink.

TongueTiedSLP11 What types of tea? 7y
SilversReviews @TongueTiedSLP11 I like black, peppermint, blackberry, and found a plantation mint. All great hot or cold. I have been putting a peppermint in my cold, regular tea - adds a nice twist. I put it in my cold tea after it has cooled. 7y
Amabear @SilversReviews leaves or drops? :) Iv never tried blackberry that sounds good! What is plantation mint? 7y
SilversReviews @Amabear Bags. That is just the name of the tea. Bigelow is the brand. 7y

Coffee‘s turn!:
1️⃣We buy whole bean at Costco. 2️⃣ Dark like my soul 3️⃣ Sometimes. It easily gets too sweet for me, but I like pumpkin lattes and peppermint mochas. 4️⃣ Nah, I‘m mostly a purist. Except for cream. I love me some cream.
