Sometimes a silly theme works, and sometimes it doesn't. Today it does. :) Who doesn't like COTTONCANDY? And who doesn't like seeing those words broken down into the absurd "'Cott' on C and Y?" And who thinks of these things?!

LAUREN Bacall

The theme is contained in six perfectly cromulent entries: 

APRICOTTART / FALLACY
GILSCOTTHERON
/ SPACY
COTTAGECHEESE
/ ICYSTARES

Lovely.

Aside from that, BOOBOO (It might be treated with a kiss and a Band-Aid) is cute, and I like the multi-language entries - MAS (More, in Mexico City), APPA (Dad, in Korean), Raison d'ETRE, and DESI (Member of the South Asian diaspora).

BEERMAT (Disposable coaster at a bar) is highly questionable, and HITPARADE (Listing of top tunes) seems a bit out-dated, but I suppose no moreso than STOOGES (Moe, Larry and Curly) or ALBEIT (Though), and I liked both of those. de gustibus non disputandum est, as we say.
