The Eve Appreciation Thread

[tarragon918]

I can only add that I look for Eve’s threads when I log onto the SDMB; she is one of the wittiest posters here besides which her topics are often very interesting–I loved reading about the 99 year old dancer the other day, btw-fascinating! Eve is great.

I don’t follow GD and only venture into the 'Pit upon rare occasion, so had no idea what happened. I did check out the thread in GD about transgenders. I saw “Southern Comfort” last year on HBO, and was moved to tears by it-- I could not believe the doctors who refused to help him because it would make their other patients “uncomfortable.” Honestly, it was something that I’d never thought about before, and the documentary was extremely enlightening.

At any rate, Eve does rock.

**I thought of that, but saying “all y’all” would ignore the NYC Dopers who can hang out with Eve whenever, instead of having to fly there. **

Your point is well made. However, I think mine stands, too: they’re not all sharing in what sounds like a fun get-together. As such, they’re probably jealous, or should be. Here’s to a safe trip and a great time! [end slight hijack]

We now resume the appreciation part of this thread.

I must add how much I like Eve! I enjoy her books, I enjoy her posts and treasure the small interaction with her that I have had. Eve, you’re beloved here! Remember that!

You’re the top! You’re the Colosseum,
You’re the top! You’re the Louvre Museum,
You’re a melody from a symphony by Strauss,
You’re a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespear sonnet,
You’re Mickey Mouse.
You’re the Nile, You’re the Tower of Pisa,
You’re the smile on the Mona Lisa.
I’m a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, Baby, I’m the bottom,

You’re the top!

…

You’re the top! You’re Mahatma Gandi.
You’re the top! You’re Napolean brandy.
You’re the purple light of a summer night in Spain,
You’re the National Gall’ry, You’re Garbo’s sal’ry,
You’re cellophane.
You’re sublime, You’re a turkey dinner.
You’re the time of the Derby winner.
I’m a toy balloon that is fated soon to pop.
But if, Baby, I’m the bottom,

You’re the top!

…

You’re the top! You’re a Waldorf salad.
You’re the top! You’re a Berlin ballad.
You’re a baby grand of a lady and a gent.
You’re an old dutch master, You’re Mrs. Aster,
You’re Pepsodent.
You’re romance, You’re the steppes of Russia,
You’re the pants on a Roxy usher.
I’m a lazy lout that’s just about to stop,
But if Baby, I’m the bottom,

You’re the top!

…

You’re the top! You’re a dance in Bali.
You’re the top! You’re a hot tamale.
You’re an angel, you simply too, too, too diveen,
You’re a Botticelli, You’re Keats, You’re Shelley,
You’re Ovaltine.
You’re a boon, You’re the dam at Boulder,
You’re the moon over Mae West’s shoulder.
I’m a nominee of the G.O.P. or GOP,
But if, Baby, I’m the bottom,

You’re the top!

You’re the top! You’re the Tower of Babel.
You’re the top! You’re the Whitney Stable.
By thje River Rhine, You’re a sturdy stein of beer,
You’re a dress from Saks’s, You’re next year’s taxes,
You’re stratosphere.
You’re my thoist, You’re a Drumstick Lipstick,
You’re da foist in da Irish svipstick,
I’m a frightened frog that can find no log to hop,
But if, Baby, I’m the bottom,

You’re the top!

[BottledBlondJeanie]

Ms.Eve you’re faaaaabulous darling!

[Slainte]

I had the pleasure of meeting Eve and her lovely Mother at the dinner that Skerri referenced. Eve is as classy as they come. I was honored to share a meal with her.

Eve, you rock.

[Cosmopolitan]

Eve’s a classy, eloquent broad who cracks me the f–k up sometimes!

[Kn_ckers]

Eve is super cool!

[Scotticher]

I have nothing but admiration for Eve. She is bright, witty and courageous.

And she reminds me of Dorothy Parker, except nicer.

Oh, and also…what Shayna sang.

**My husband would like me to point out that, upon seeing the picture of Eve that Shayna posted in the now locked thread, he is of the firm opinion that Eve bears a striking resemblance to Marina Sirtis.

I have to totally agree. Same beautiful eyes, same elegant facial structure.**

Holy Schmoly! I just looked her up. Can we say separated at birth, or what?

Hubba Hubba!

[Encinitas]

All right, I’ll join the pile-on…

I love Eve too! Her posts make my day.

Anyone who has a palindrome for a name can’t be all bad.

[Rodd_Hill]

Despite the churlish fact that she visited my little town, yet cut me dead–deader than Vaudeville–Eve is a treasure to be cherished. (I suspect she was too busy, bunked up with a sloe-eyed leading man in some leafy bower, or perhaps the local Stay-N-Sav.)

[Exgineer]

I just now clicked on Shayna’s original “people-pages” link to see what Eve looks like. I never really cared before, because I love her for her mind. Now that if seen her picture, I have only one thing to say:

Woof!

[Serendipity]

Although I haven’t had the pleasure of interacting with Eve on the boards or meeting her in person, I admire her greatly. She embodies grace, dignity, wit, and class. I’ve just seen the link that Shayna posted – oh my goodness! Eve, you’re stunning, absolutely gorgeous, a beautiful person both inside and out.

[elelle]

Eve is definitely one of my favorite people here, a brilliant diamond among many fine minds. She shines in so many ways; as an accomplished author, sharp rapier wit, consummate Manhattanite, roundtable regent, ever-appropriate lyrics archivist, a master of the pearly lorgnette gaze, and a brave heart who has illuminated this board with her honesty. She has an elegance that’s rarely seen these days, and that class-by-herself brings much to this place.

You’re exquisite, Eve.

[Greywolf73]

I also make a point of reading all of Eve’s threads. She is one of my favorites here. She is charming, graceful, classy and all of the other adjectives that describe a true Lady.

[LolaCocaCola]

She is my NYC home grrrl!

snaps!

[Shaolinrabbit]

I think Eve is both a wonderful person, a hell of a woman, and a remarkably attractive lady.

I actually said more on that in the Apology thread in the pit, but I’m too embarrassed to repeat it here. I am married y’know.

Seriously, though, I saw your picture. . .

What else can I say? ::drool::

[Booker57]

Dear ** Eve **

As long as I have a face, you have a place to sit.

She’s the classy one.
