Testimonials

He continues, "I'm such an admirer." Willie surmises he's either gay or a gossip. No, it's Connor Owens, who just recently "took my stock options and ran" from his last company. I tried to do that with the stock options I was offered at a company, but 7000 options times zero is...I'm still working. I'm also guessing he grabbed his options in mid-summer, otherwise he'd be taking them to Flushing Burger and working with Papi!

Willie compliments him on what he did, then manages in the next second to blurt out that Mode is not doing well. Jesus, you'd better hope he's not a gossip! "Any publisher in town would love to have your titles," he says. Her car pulls up (nice product placement, marketers!) and they shake hands and part ways. Willie, weren't you just lamenting last week you have no daddy for your illegitimate posthumous baby/Meade stock options?

"Connor, would you have any interest in coming to work at Meade?" Willie asks. Way to vet, what is he, a Vice Presidential nominee? He declines saying he and Daniel "have a long history." Is Daniel gay? Because if so, great choice Daniel! Willie is intrigued.

Back at Mode, Kimmie is begging to be a part of the shoot Betty is working on, but doesn't actually want to work. I'm with you there, Kimmie. Daniel is speaking with Suzuki St. Pierre who is there to do the story on the scoop of Mode getting Adriana Lima to do their cover. "It's two scoops with whipped cream and sprinkles," he says. Excuse me, I need DQ to the rescue.

Sweet, merciful crap, have that thing surgically removed if necessary.
I'm talking about your assistant, here, Daniel.

Daniel admits it was his "incredibly capable assistant" who made this happen. Suzuki loves the angle of small person making big and when Daniel points her out, Suzuki winces. I know, right? "Makeup!" Only if they have body makeup to cover that hideous outfit, Suzuki, and oh my God is she wearing Claire's red belt from last week? It's going to have its own reality show soon.

Betty is putting on her own makeup (why, please?) and Kimmie comes up all Michael-Jackson-gloved and says she can't stand to see makeup done badly. I guess we'll just stick to your hair and clothes, then? Betty wisely tells her to piss up a rope. But per usual, Betty caves like a bat and allows Kimmie to make her up like a tart. I'm sure the Ugly Betty makeup crew was like, "We'll be at Craft Services gorging on cookies, let Lindsay make her purty."

Kimmie puts on fake eyelashes (always a good move to try those for the first time during something big), lots of makeup, and commends Betty for a job well done. Betty, I tire of your naïveté and I love the accents on that word. So international. Also? I cannot wait for you to become Ugly on the Inside Betty.

Kimmie gets Betty to practice what she is going to say, which per usual is a little contrived, but once again, let's run with it. But folks, would you put someone with NO PR experience or training, and let's be honest, someone who looks like aMode Don't to promote your magazine? Also, why would they be doing this live, the March issue is probably done in October or judging by the weather in New York, June. No one is going to care about the March issue then. AND...come to think of it, why blow the tico berry story now when everyone else will start reporting on it so when the March issue does hit the stands, it will be old news? Wow...getting that MBA in Negative Studies really paid off!

Betty rushes off to call her family so they can watch TV - trust me, Betty, that's what they are doing since they don't work and only seldom attend school. Kimmie pays one of the lighting guys to kick the lights up a little hotter. If you've ever worked with those lights, they are like a solar system onto themselves. Anything hotter would melt the cameras. But Kimmie slips the guy some money, probably from Monopoly, to "make it hot." Bleh! Betty sweats!

You misunderstood me, I said I wanted to Yank his Doodle...

Hilda is decorating for tomorrow's big Beautilities/Voting event with Justin all dressed up as Uncle Samantha to pass out fliers because again, he's not going to school because he's on his period. Betty calls to tell them she'll be on TV and Justin almost strokes out.
