Testimonials

Back at Mode Daniel and Wilhelmina are no where to be found which is unusual for media whores. Betty is going over her index cards and I hate her like the hall-monitor she is. Snitch! Suzuki asks the "very stylish people of Mode to hold it down," which never works for me in meetings. They are going live!!!!! And the lights go on. Seems like they would have checked those before turning them on at that second with one of those light meter things so they don't look like some dumbass college production.

Betty starts to sweats immediately, wiping her face, her bangs, around her eyes, and then she starts fanning herself. This would have been a much better interview for Hot Flash. She drinks water and is seriously sweating up a storm. So icky. And she stumbles over her answers and accidentally calls Adriana "old." Models love that. Suzuki asks if it would go with vodka to make a good Tico-Tini. Wonder if DQ has those in Blizzard form?

Water is life! Pant, pant, pant...

Betty wipes her eyes and the lashes are on the loose! She starts talking about "Adriana's berries," which I believe are 36Cs. She excuses herself from the interview for a moment which is always awesome during a LIVE broadcast, and Kimmie jumps in. Less sweaty, she uses all of Betty's talking points and ends with, "You heard it here live from Mode from Kimmie Keegan, Associate Editor." Betty can't believe she got screwed again, I can't believe she's that thick! Literally AND figuratively!

In the principal's office, Daniels is thanking Betty for all her hard work and what a great job she's done, yadda, yadda, Lobster Bisque, and Wilhelmina says, "Just rip it off, Daniel! The TV spot was a disaster! Kimmie will work on the cover with you to add a little polish." Yes, because nothing says professional than a dumpy, wimpy assistant, and 3-weeks working skank. YAY Mode! Betty is sick, Kimmie is thrilled. "Anyone's name that is not on the masthead may leave." I'm going to use that one at Thanksgiving.

Betty has a smack down with Kimmie out in the hall. "Betty, it's not my fault you don't have the face, or pores, for television," Kimmie says. Ouch. Just cause it's true...they junior-high back and forth until Kimmie says, "The shoot is in two days. My bet is, by the time it happens, one of us will be gone. And it won't be me." Kimmie, bad news. The show is called Ugly Betty. I'm betting against Satan in this one. Hope he doesn't hold it against me at our next appointment!

Wilhelmina brings up the topic of hiring a financial advisor for the company with Daniel and suggests Connor Owens. Me-ow! Did I mention me-ow? Daniel will have none of it, but won't say why. Maybe they experimented together in college? Willie says she thought they had reached a point where they could put aside differences and do what's best for Meade. Daniel has a thoughtful moment. Or he just crapped his pants, it's hard to tell with him sometimes.

Later, Betty comes into Daniel's office saying she can't work with Kimmie and wah-wah-wahmbulance. Daniel tells her to suck it up like he has with Wilhelmina. Well, if Betty were in your tax bracket, she might feel better about sucking it up. She might even feel better if you spent $25 on some bloody business cards too! "She doesn't play fair!" Betty yells. No, Betty, you did not just use the "play fair" line of bullshit for not getting your way. Get your ass out there and start getting this done, and I mean NOW.

What kind of witch did you drop the house on to get those shoes?

In the Mode cafeteria, Marc and Amanda walk in and wave to Kimmie who immediately puts her bag up on one chair and her skanky feet up on another so they can't sit down. This means war! Walking outside, Amanda dressed normal and Marc dressed like a British dandy (is that redundant?), cane in hand (I would always be smacking someone indiscriminately), Amanda says, "When did this happen? We used to be the ones spreading rumors, mocking co-workers, ruining self-esteem." They decide to get more info on the situation before "going nuclear," and kudos for them for not ruining the pronunciation.

Aren't there any children I could smack with my cane?
