Tea with Louisa May Alcott

Some blog posts are, well, a little more "mature" then others. With that in mind ... the Huntington Library here in greater Los Angeles is staging an event that is sure to be exciting.

To celebrate the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of the publication of Little Women, the Huntington is hosting a tea with Louisa May Alcott featuring noted "impressionist" Suzan Gallerito as the author. A little research tells me that Ms. Gallerito regularly performs as other noted women of the past including Susan B. Anthony and Betsy Ross.



Never to be outdone, we here at the Digby Institute of Serious Studies have a counter-offer! We've recently struck up a relationship with Gunther von Hagens of Bodyworlds fame.



Using his patented Plastination process, Dr. von Hagens has turned his replicating attentions to the beloved author of Little Women. Thus, we can offer you the unique and exciting opportunity of taking tea with none other than a hauntingly life-like replica of Louisa May Alcott's corpse! Huntington, eat your heart out!
