Liv Tyler Inspires Tea Book
Monday, 31 March 2008 by Brenda
Good manners start young. No one knows this better than Dorothea Johnson, founder of the Protocol School of Washington and the grandmother of actress Liv Tyler (the daughter of Aerosmith musician Steve Tyler who is best known for her film work in Lord of the Rings and Stealing Beauty).
Johnson had already authored several books on tea and etiquette when she felt inspired to teach young people the finer graces of living. Based on her close relationship with her famous granddaughter, Liv, she came up with a picture book and etiquette manual titled, Children’s Tea & Etiquette: Brewing Good Manners in Young Minds. Published by Benjamin Press, the book covers a number of social graces, from the basics of saying “please” and “thank you,” to tea party table manners. It also touches upon the history of tea and includes a smattering of tea party recipes.

That would make a great gift for my grandaughters.

Dorothea Johnson is the MOTHER of Bebe Buell. I find it a true oversight to keep calling Ms. Tyler the “daughter of Aerosmith, etc…, blah, blah, blah…”
If you are going to write about Liv’s grandmother, it would be correct etiquette to mention Liv’s MOTHER NOT her over credited father STEVEN. His name is not Steve by the way. It is Steven.
Stop with the stupid name dropping. Dorothea Johnson is not Steven Tyler’s mother and frankly I knew who Liv’s mother Bebe was from back in the 70′s long before I had Steven Tyler shoved down my throat.
Give credit where credit is due thank you very much.
