Posted: 6/12/06 at 2:31pmhow come they aren't spelled Toni? Isn't that the feminine shortening of Antoinette? It's just a silly question that occurred to me last night during commercials.

No joke here: She spelled it "Toni" until the invention of the "Toni Home Permanent," at whihc point she changed the spelling to "Tony."
