Amanda wants to talk about Marc's wedding, but he distracts her with something shiny and by telling her that her hair is frizzy. Probably from living with Betty! It's like the herp! He pulls out his curling iron and fixes her up. But Amanda rebounds and pulls the conversation back to the wedding and how Marc always changes the subject. Marc will have none of it.
In Willie's office she has pulled out her gun with her fancy zebra-striped case and aimed it at Marc. Sweet. She's looking completely awesome in that red dress that I covet, but no matter how many times I do those Windsor Pilates I don't get her boobs. Damn you Mari Windsor! She's upset because Conner gets under her skin and she's sure his fiancé is beautiful, wonderful, and European. Aren't they all when it's not you?
Meetings would run so much more smoothly
if the organizer could pack heat.
At the loading dock, Betty is fanning herself with the pages of the magazine and announces to the dock guys who have NOTHING TO DO WITH IT that the smell of the adhesive binding the magazine seems to be overpowering the fragrance samples inside. First of all, when has that ever happened with a magazine? Usually I'm calling the allergist as soon as I open the mailbox the samples are so strong and second, What the hell do you think these guys are going to do about it? You're going to cancel shipping the guides because of adhesive? Man, when some people get power they are all over it.
Is she getting aroused? Maybe it's just a chemical high.
The loading dock guy is channeling me when he tells Betty that they will unwrap all the pallets, tear apart the magazines, have the manufacture create an odorless adhesive, put all the pages back together to the tune of a kajillion dollars because Fugly Betty has final approval. He should really have his own religious show on Sundays because that was the best sermon I've heard in years.
I should shove that broad down the
same cement pylon as Hoffa!
Betty approves them. She wants her picture taken with the magazine but the dock guy balks, so Betty takes one of herself with the magazine. I'm sure that won't end up on some porn site. Or at least with a porn guy mustache...
"Welcome to the annual editor's retreat," Daniel says, as we see the outside of some kind of English manor. Oh, I'm sure going there was as cost-effective as the HoJo's in Brooklyn. Way to rein in the expenses, Connor. Oh, and they don't even let the attendees wear jeans. Connor is introduced to the team, the women swoon (they don't show it, but you know they did), and he gives them sobering facts that the magazine industry blows chunks and they need some BOLD ideas. Hope people step up to the plate, think outside the box, and deliver on ROI. Yay team Meade!
During this whole tirade, Wilhelmina is checking her African-Americanberry much to the irritation of Claire. I've said it once, I'll say it again, Claire is much more fun when she drinks. She offers her own crazy/bold idea: Take away everyone's cell phones and PDAs. Good thinking, since you guys are the parents and the kids are home alone, no babysitters. I'm sure nothing can go wrong with this. Oh comedic mayhem, is there anything you can't cure? Willie is pissed. I'm sorry, she's more pissed, and now she has colleagues who agree with her. "If you really want people to focus," Claire says, "cut off all distractions." Does this mean Connor has to leave now too?
"Claire, I'm going hunting later today. Feel free to walk in front of my gun," Willie says.
F#*% the Chianti, I'll tear your liver our and eat it right now.
Back at Mode, Betty comes in all aflutter telling everyone the magazine has shipped which they all know since she emailed them the picture she took of herself at the dock. Amanda immediately PhotoShops it to "make your mustache pop a little more." Doesn't Hilda's Beautilities offer waxing?
Betty, you are making it too easy for them now.
Suddenly, out of nowhere and I mean nowhere, comes a special news report on a huge tornado (as opposed to a mini-tornado that occurs when I open the bathroom door after a steamy shower) that is destroying Kansas or some other boring rectangular state. My question is, why would Mode have what clearly is a rip-off of CNN on during the day? Aren't all the channels set for the Style network or, as the elevators would have us believe, Animal Planet?
