Women
Messy Girls Gift Book
With Xmas just around the bend, the search for presents intensifies. Who wouldn't like a book of photos of women covered in foodstuffs?
More pix here at eBay for as long as the auction is up.

Who Was That Masked Lady Composer?
Mlle Duval was an 18th-century female composer whose birth and death dates are unknown, whose first name and backstory are unknown, and yet who had a fairly prominent public career. This is one of those historical incidents that I fancifully attribute to some time traveler having fun.
Her Wikipedia page.
Entry in The Norton/Grove Dictionary of Women Composers.
I can't find any recordings for her online, but she appears on the CD at the link.

Beer For Her
A Czech brewer has introduced Aurosa, a "beer for her":How exactly does one transform a beer into a "beer for her"? Apparently you put it into a pink-hued bottle and charge more for it.
This isn't the first attempt to make a beer specifically for women. Back in 2011, there was Chick Beer.

Fabulous Lady Diet Food
This is one of those rare instances where I can learn nothing on the internet about an old-time product. I suspect it was simply a forerunner of such drinks as Metrecal. If anyone can discover the secret ingredients of this drink, or even more press about it, they will be a master sleuth!
