Readers,
Here are two very short takes on popular topics of conversation:
The Election: What is the most spectacular flame-out that could be wrought on the Clinton campaign that would torpedo the nomination and/or the general election win? Will it happen?
Would it be real or made up? Could they somehow bring it on themselves? I say just play it straight, stay on message, wait for other crazy things to happen, and continue to turn those things into a positive, sometimes fun or funny, rallying cry.
Spring: Not yet. I used context clues, such as taking a trip to Chicago armed with a much needed down shell, raincoat, light scarf, and hat to tell me that.
Welcome to this week's stories by and about women in news, business, politics, digital, technology, media, film, tv, fashion, sports, literature and general pop culture. It's hand-picked. By me. For you. Delivered to your virtual mailbox pre-mimosa.
You can peruse the archive at LZSundayPaper.com.
Please send me any items of interest or send questions/comments: here.
Sometimes there's so much interesting stuff out there I can't wait 'til Sunday so I tweet it during the week. Follow me @LZSundayPaper.
And don't forget, follow me at my @LZSundayPaper Instagram. It's a visual funhouse that speaks to the themes of the Paper. And don't forget about @LZFloors. I take pictures of floors. That's it.
Looking forward to a busy week! The mid-west is calling me back: Detroit!
See you next week,
LZ

The LZ Sunday Paperâ„¢ (It is supposedly trademarked and might be copyrighted--I'm afraid to ask my lawyer again because each time I do, I still don't understand the answer but get a bill for asking) launched at the dawn of 2014. We expose and recirculate interesting content that is about, and frequently by, women in business, with a dose of ultra-relevant culture. We think that culture comes in sizes high and low, not much room for medium. Our audience is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect to deliver at least one good laugh. We would deliver mimosas, too, if the internet could do so. Send suggestions, clips, or names of people you think might enjoy this to LZSundayPaper@gmail.com.
