The Girl with the Golden Bouffant by Mabel Maney

The Case of the Good-for-nothing Girlfriend This sparkling parody of 1950s girl adventure stories will make you laugh out loud and long for a lemon Jell O mold. And when the queer caper has ended, will there be a chance for Nancy and Cherry?Mabel Maney s camp classic The Case of the Not So Nice Nurse has been beloved by readers since it was first published in 1993. Imagine her surprise to learn that Aunt Gertrude has been kidnapped! Armed only with the contents of her purse, and with the help of new chums Midge, Velma, and a dashing female police officer named Jackie, the plucky but innocent Cherry must save her aunt, find a gaggle of missing nuns, and stop an illegal land grab all under the warm gaze of her hero, girl detective Nancy Clue. Wistfully trading her starched white cap and dress for a bright yellow poplin frock with a flared skirt, young Cherry takes to the highway, never imagining the gay adventures that await her. Nurse Cherry Aimless’s first vacation from her hectic career in a big city hospital takes her to visit her spinster Aunt Gertrude in thrilling San Francisco.
