      A cute girl can glide through her teens and early twenties, but the
magic stops working in time.  Such women can live for a few years in a
fantasy world.  It's tragic when the music stops and they have to face
the real world.  I know a woman who is going through this transition now;
after a few years as a sort of hanger-on doing odd jobs in the recording
industry, she finds herself in her late twenties with a seven year old son,
no money, and no marketable skills.  She's not dumb -- but she's never had
to apply herself over a long period of time, and doesn't know how.  Sad.
