Steamy Saturday

"Choose - between two worlds of white."

"Scott Marshall, ice-skating master, idol of her childhood . . . ."

". . . his accident had brought them together at long last."

". . . or, Dr. Thor Eriksen whom she had secretly loved for three years. . . ."

"Which was she, student nurse or rink champion?"

"She was thrilled that he wanted her . . . But, . . ."

"Did she cut any ice with the man she loved?"

Poor student nurse and former junior national skating champion Inga Larsen! She's caught between two men she should rationally steer clear of if this wasn't a mid-1960s nurse romance novel. But since it is, she can't decide who to subsume herself to (despite being ultra-competent and at the top of her class): her childhood idol and world-champion figure skater Scott Marshall, who, after a car accident that leaves him paralyzed and sent into a long coma, Inga miraculously nurses back to full championship form in no time; or Dr. Thor Eriksen, who sees no value in her skating interests, and demeans and belittles her at every turn -- which, of course, makes her hopelessly in love with him. And where does this all take place? Well, with names like Inga Larsen and Thor Eriksen, in small-town Wisconsin, of course!

The Nurse with the Silver Skates by trained nurse, medical journalist, and romance and young-adult novelist Virginia B. McDonnell (1917-1998), published in New York by Ace Books in 1964, is one of the books in the sub-genre of athletic nurse romances that we mentioned a few weeks ago. After his recovery, Scott pleads with Inga to become his skating partner for the Sectionals. Inga is ambivalent, despite her adoration of Scott, because it would interrupt her nurse training. But, well, it's just this once, and they win the Sectionals -- and then the Nationals, and then the Olympics, and then a frigging Hollywood contract! She'll never get back to nursing! What's worse is Scott proposes marriage, which of course she has to accept; after all, he's Scott Marshall, world skating champion: the nail in the nursing-career coffin. All the while, Dr. Thor Eriksen continues to cast aspersions at her, which makes her love him even more. This nurse needs some therapy, or a spine!

But just when her fame, fortune, and the loss of her nursing career seem inevitable, Thor calls from the other side of a frozen lake about a serious medical emergency, and only Inga can skate the medical supplies across the lake fast enough, and like Hans Brinker (also of the Silver Skates), she does, saving the day and winning Dr. Eriksen's heart. All very plausible, of course. Our recommendation: just hang up the skates and read something else.

We do like the cover art, however, with the ambivalent-looking nurse in full regalia in the tender arms of a young man by a frozen skating pond. The illustration is by the Italian free-lance illustrator and paperback cover artist Lou Marchetti (1920–1992).

Batsheva - Fall 2020 ready to wear:

Batsheva Hay might be the most popular designer in New York fashion right now.

Hay and her husband planned to shoot this collection guerrilla style in the American Dream mall but stumbled upon a figure skating competition on the day they went to scout locations. “Part of what I’m always trying to prove is the wearability of my clothes,” she said, “and athletic movement is the definitive wearability test.” The skaters spin, twirl and jump in Hay’s chiffons, cottons, and custom flower pot embroideries, frozen mid-gesture by the camera - impressively bizarre.
