2007 Jul 31st - An Absolutely unFabulous Daughter

Tuesday, July 31, 2007


Absolutely Fabulous - PLEASE VOTE
Category: Life

Oooer, I've just been compared to a daughter from Absolutely Fabulous........not sure which one though as there are two - here are my options:

Saffy

Although most people call her "Saffy", she is also frequently referred to (by Patsy) as "you little bitch troll from hell", "the bitch daughter", "that trail of cat sick", etc. As the ever-virtuous high-minded intellectual, Saffy is the perfect foil for Eddie and Patsy, enduring bombastic abuse and immature snideness from both – especially with regard to sex. She is the voice of reason, a thankless job in the Monsoon household. She dresses conservatively, works hard, and almost always behaves responsibly; as a result, Eddie regards her as a disappointing frump and longs for a more exotic, fashionable daughter.

Her older brother Serge ran away from home as a teenager and never calls or writes; nevertheless, he's Eddie's favorite child (even though she can no longer remember what he looks like).

Of course Eddy is a daughter herself..........so that's option 2:

Eddy

Born Edwina, she later changed her name to Edina and is nearly always called Eddy; only her mother, and once Justin, calls her Edwina. She owns a PR firm whose only steady client is Lulu, who is barely hanging on by a thread. Though failing in her business, Edina is desperate to give off the aura of success, wealth and fabulousness, even as her outrageously mismatched and poorly-fitted wardrobe belies this. She collects hefty alimony payments from her two ex-husbands, Justin and Marshall. Justin, Saffy's father, is gay and for a time had a boyfriend named Oliver. Her first husband, Marshall Turtle, the father of her gay and almost perpetually off-screen son Serge, later marries scheming New-Age Californian Bo Chrysalis (Gaffney). Edina claims to be a Buddhist, practising, in her words, "almost religiously". She also claims to be a vegetarian although she is seen eating meat on a few occasions.

VOTES PLEASE - VIA COMMENTS IF YOU WILL?

Am I more Saffy or Eddy?

Mike ponders over the question briefly. He cocks his head to one side, causing a bit of spittle to ooze from the corner of his mouth and then he starts typing proudly..."tippity-tap-tip-tappaty-tap" He's smiling because he's had the clever idea of telling Lisa that she has the best qualities of both Saffy and Eddy.

"HELLO LISA!!!!," he types, "I FINK U HAVE THE BEST QWA"...He struggles to spell "qualities" so taps Backspace and retypes almost as fast as he can think, several times over.

He continues "...BEST FINGS OF SAFFY AND EDDY, U R SMART LIKE SAFFY" He snorts to himself trying to contain his amusement before finishing off with his pièce de résistance "AND U R SEXY AND GUD AT WEARIN NICE CLOTHES LIKE EDDY"

Mike clicks the button to post his message and hits refresh every 15 seconds for the next hour, waiting for Lisa to return the compliment, which never comes. Poor old Pob.

The End.

Definitely the best of both. The only connection is the sensible daughter and the silly mother.

Well I don't know which one you are, but whichever it is, obviously I am the other.

Don't forget: Pats is a daughter too (but what a mother!)

Having spent my formative years in your company, I'm voting Eddy - if your mum didnt read this I'd mention a few incidents from our teenage years to back me up. It's only in your later years you've started to resemble Saffy - and hey, what did you expect motherhood to do to you. I much prefer the Uma Thurman analogy. Personally, i've not ruled out a Thelma and Louise road trip round America with you when Tarzan is self sufficient - you can be Susan Sarandon............but I forget...... who got Brad Pitt? P.s. can you put an eye-leakage warning on postings that include stuff like "special friend".

No I cannot put eye-leakage warnings on, I get leaks randomly so you have to share. Anyway it's not my fault it's Tarzan!

I dedicated a song to you on the visog book.........regarding the Eddy/Patsy moments we had. Also I'd like to point out almost half my teenage years were spent fending for myself in a little bedsit .............. it's 20 years on 26th September since I "left" home which is Maxine Hall's 37th birthday - how funny is that? Chelmsford 123.........

I'm still sticking with Uma. Susan Sarandon has bared her chest too many times for my liking, strumpet!
