And what about the woman in the miniskirt and go-go boots? She's totally coming on to Mr. Blue Slacks. And that palm tree! It's totally coming on to that boy palm tree. And the bunt cake is coming on to the plate of cookies! Not to mention Toby in her booty shorts... in fact, the only person who does not seem to be coming on to anything is Nola Wolvenson.Megan had a few rejections from the condo board, but they finally agreed to her suggestion of Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper. A song with a message for the Worthiverse.

And look at how provocatively that Nola is dressed! It looks like she's wearing a naughty real estate agent costume! That hussy!
Toby is just jealous that no one is coming on to her. All that wasted effort on finding just the right "come hither" pool outfit and the only one talking to her is Mary. And where is Professor Chinbeard anyway? He has been MIA for far too long.
The woman in the minidress and go-go boots beamed herself down from the original Starship Enterprise. Anyone seen Lt. Uhura?
Those who have been reading Mary Worth for a year or less (how sad!) have never even seen Ian, a.k.a. Professor Chinbeard. Talk about an academic sabbatical....
Tsk, tsk, Toby. Feeling judgmental today? Nola must have done her wrong...selling her a bad piece of real estate, or perhaps stealing the umbrella out of her drink.
Is Toby that insecure in her relationship with Ian that she worries about Nola coming onto him... even though he's not even attending the party?
Still, I suppose it's best for Toby to be vigilant, because apparently whatever Nola wants...Nola gets...
I miss Chinbeard, I wish he'd come back and lay out shirtless by the pool again.
She's an attractive woman (at least in this panel), the ladies of Charterstone are right to be frightened.
From babynamewizard.com - who knew
Origin of the name Nola:
Spanish pet form of Leonor, a variant of Eleanor, a cognate of the Greek Helenē (light, torch, bright). Alternatively, some believe Leonor to be a feminine form of Leonard, which is derived from the Old High German Lewenhart (brave as a lion).
Just "talking" to a married man is flirting? It's not like she's draped over his body. Toby is very insecure; the Ken Doll Nola is "flirting" with isn't even her husband!
When I see Nola, I only see:
New Orleans, LA.
Sorry, Nola, but that's what some folks use to abbreviate it.
Perhaps she is a Cajun Hussy.
And why, oh why did Toby think that she might need to hid old Ian away from admirers? Has she looked at him? Ever? No worries there, unless there are any Burl Ives groupies lurking about!
Why isn't Toby wearing her Burqa?
Well, it could have been worse.
Instead of Nola, she could have been named Frisco, or Chi-town, or Big Apple, or Big Easy, or Beantown.
Isn't Lawrence the silver-haired motivational speaker who changes peoples's lives? He must be surrounded by Nola-type fans all the time, during his lectures, during his travels, and even in The Valley where he lives.
So, why is he at a Charterstone pool party?
wv: acktiona Nola's middle name.
Nothing says "coming on to Toby's man" than a vintage Hillary Clinton Cougar print pant suit.
@Ice T--Chinbeard is laying out shirtless by the pool. That's not grass you see in the background, but his back hair (and apologies to anyone eating lunch...)
meg @ 10:57 AM - "Big Easy" might have been appropriate...
wv: "equili" - Italian artificial sweetener
tuffenuf@9:56am- Burl Ives groupies!!
However, after carefully reviewing the facts, I conclude that perhaps Ian himself is a Burl Ives groupie (not that there's anything wrong with that). Maybe, just maybe, there's more than one "beard" in the family Cameron.
...as Brick pointed out, Del and Lawrence live down in the valley, so what in blazes are they doing at a Charterstone pool party?
Remember their brown concrete block, window-less house? (The one from which Larry now beams his podcasts so that he'll have more time to spend with lovely wife Del on her upscale patio furniture?)
And weren't they expecting... a BABY!? I definitely recall Mary Worth being informed of that happy news over the phone! Perhaps Nola IS that baby...all grown up... and she's simply conversing with dear old Dad? Anything is possible in the Worthiverse timewise.
My wv: "snessi" It's just kinda' fun to say!
What is that that Mary and Toby are seeing that we aren't allowed to? Is she running her leg up and down his? Did she grab his hand? Is she touching him in any way? Invading his personal space according to Charterstone rules? Making kissy noises at him? What?
I certainly hope that Nola doesn't touch him. She could find herself being led off in handcuffs for assault.
@ Anonymous: maybe Nola is just listening to him instead of pointing, declaring, proclaiming at, advising, and directing him--you know, something you wouldn't see from Mary or Toby.
That tease!
I get that Nola's last name 'Wolverson' is supposed to be play on words but I think it should have been Cougarson. That is what they call female wolves nowadays.
DaveinParma@1:28-and to anyone else who wants to mention Chinbeard's back hair-please wait until I am dead before you do it again.
And on a related note, the type of beard that Ian has is known as a 'chin curtain'. Now try to eat dinner while contemplating that.
@ Thorpnotized - love the Nola/Lola comment!
wv - jazilyst, which would be a cool name for a movie (The Jazilyst). Or, the live band performing at a strangely retro pool party.
Look up in the window! It is Mr. Johnsons sombrero! Wanting to join the pool party.
And I am sure we will find out that Nola..has a terrible cross to bear.
My WV: "Preman" a guy who arrives early to the pool parties.
Is that what flirting looks like? Standing several feet away from a member of the opposite sex wearing modest clothing and talking to them? Man, I did sooooo much flirting today. I never realized what a horrible person I was until now.
From now, I'll be sure to dress in swimtrunks and stand within a foot of the person I'm addressing at all times. That way, no one will ever be able to accuse me of inappropriate behavior.
Thanks, Mary Worth!
