What would Eleanor have told the two girls?


Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed this 60's Thelma and Louise caper, and what red-blooded male wouldn't enjoy seeing Jessica Alba do burlesque, twice?

It seems to be though that the great First Lady, upon hearing the girls' story, would have, among other things, told them that a woman does not need to strip or please a man by dancing to succeed.

Yes, pursuing one's dreams is a great morale, but I'm sure Eleanor Roosevelt would have given them a message that would be a precursor of the end of the decade, with ERA and bra burning around the corner.

Who knows, maybe Max and Ellie ended up attending Berkeley anyhow?
