Don’t feel bad, AveDementia, I got it.
Are you kidding? If I call her a “squashed cabbage leaf,” she’ll deck me! We’re talkin’ Big Rosie Greenbaum here, a tough Joisey Tomato who no doubt packs a shiv. If I so much as raised an eyebrow, she’d come at me with a broken beer bottle: “Youse lookin’ at me funny?”
Not so much Audrey Hepburn as Laverne DeFazio.
I got it too!
I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull when it first came out, (there’s a copy not twenty feet away from me in Grandma’s bedroom, so apparently one of us gave it to her for a gift) but apparently I had blocked it out of my mind totally. I checked out that link, read the whole darn thing and can’t for the life of me ever remember having read it before. Me, who remembers books I read in second grade. I am glad that I had forgotten that drivel, and really wish I hadn’t gone to that link! Now I’d better go finish P.D. James’ autobiography to recover.
I don’t think I’m strong enough to check out Harriet Carter yet…is it anything like Lillian Vernon?
Possibly even blander.
Harriet Carter is Lillian Vernon’s tacky cousin, if you can imagine. I think she’s the demon spawn of Lillian and Walter Drake.
Who’s Lillian Vernon?
I did a search though for Hattie Carnegie. Can we say trailer park?
Someone should get her on “While You Were Out” and redo her apartment in Art Nouveau then.
Don’t mock the Bach, or I’ll clean your clock. 
Gah! I am now dumber and I hold you to blame!
This thread has taught me two important things.
#1 Rather than the elite luxury tower I had pictured, Eve lives in just another apartment building. This means that my fears that she is out of my league may be unfounded
#2 I spent those many hours crafting her a Marlene Dietrich Barbie for nothing.
Reminds me of the identity theft commercial with the guy on his riding mower speaking in a Brandine voice, about the lovely things found on the shopping channel. Last line : “Ah feal lahke the perdiest gurl in the whole…development, (whimper)”
I bet she could give you some pointer on which shopping channel is best.
Be careful she might get you a gift. Then you’d have to wear that fart joke teeshirt to be polite.
. . . Well . . . pearls can dress up anything . . .
Maybe you can see if they make t-shirts that say, “I’m with Tasteless”.
Check out the Harriet Carter website, if you dare.
Eve, does Brandine sport a Tiki Head Tissue Box in her home?
Well, Eve isn’t it just so damn good to be so much better in so many ways than Brandine! Why aren’t you lucky and intelligent and blessed! Does this post somehow make you feel better because it sure does make you look ugly.
I think I’d rather enjoy Brandine’s honesty than your pretention and snobbery.
Take it to the Pit, sunshine. Eve is better than most people, and the sooner we all realize that the better of we will all be.
Why, yes, I am, dear, thank you for noticing! Though I would be ever so much more blessed if I had one of these in my gracious home.
Blech! I clicked that link and I note that the item in question is “not currently available”. This is not in itself a problem, but it does leave me wondering whther the company had second thought about its stock, or whether it proved so popular that it sold out pretty quickly.
:eek:
Oh! My eyes! My eyes! People don’t really put those things …? Never mind…
devilsknew
What makes you think Brandine is honest? Because she admitted to owning Barbies?
Nobody’s ever going to accuse me of being stylish, but that? That is just ghastly.
Where’s the Harriet Carter-shaped toilet seat cover? 'Cause that’s the novelty toilet seat cover for me!
I was actually considering a tiki tissue dispenser…it would’ve gone so well with my tiki glasses
