".....I though that I was supposed to be a writer..."
ummmmmm.....
".....and I'm this fucking loser that can't even get a publisher to call
them back about this manuscript!"
Oh, Jenny. There are so many many things I could say about what you just
said.
Too. Many. Points. To. Make.
Not. Enough. Time.
Let's just say, after that little outburst, I could've quite easily kissed
our Jenny :-)
Bless her.
Welcome to the REAL world Schecter!
It sucks! You're gonna LOVE it! ;-)
"You don't have to get published to be a good writer!" argues Moira.
Yeah, like, cause SHE would know.....
"OK" says Jenny, determined, "so when I serve you you're cup of coffee, you
REMIND me of THAT!"
Seemingly Jenny's taken a job as a waitress at The Planet.
Well, that's ok. ALL struggling artists and literary types take on
waitressing jobs at SOME time or other.
Don't they?
Or am I just being romantic and thinking of too many tv shows and
musicals.....darn it.
Cut to:
Bette holding Angelica while they paddle on the side of their pool.
"oooooh, SPLASHY!" coos Bette.
Bless! lol!
She's sooo cute with her daughter.
Who'd have though that the power-dressing Alpha female of Season 1 could
turn into such an earth-mother, maternal type!
Speaking of power-dressing, Tina comes rushing out, coffee cup in hand and
all smart for work and asks, "what are you doing?"
Er, your partner is teaching your daughter how to ballet dance
- what's it look like you dimwad! Bette's sitting by the pool, paddling with
Angelica!
"We are coolin' our tooties!" answers Bette.
See, Tina? NOT that hard to deduce.
Tina moans that she has a meeting and is in a rush - she hasn't even had
time to set up the breast pump yet and Angelica needs feeding.
Bette thinks her staff should just wait for her, after all, Tina's in charge
now.
"That may be how YOU treated YOUR subordinates, but I don't like keeping
people waiting!" snipes Tina.
Ouch. Seems like she can't say ANYTHING nicely to Bette these days without
sniping.
Such a shame.
"Well, I never called MY colleagues MY subordinates...." Bette baby talks to
Angelica.
So cute!
"But y'know Momma T is a bit stressed right now cause she has her very first
staff meeting!" coos Bette to her daughter.
Tina comes rushing out again and, in a weird reverse-echo of a moment in
Season 1 (I believe) she hurriedly asks Bette to "pick up my dry cleaning!"
Role-reversal anyone?!
Tina rushes off and Bette baby talks to Angelica once more with, "and now,
for once, she's the one to bring home the bacon, she thinks we should jump
through burning hoops!"
Oh how the other half live, eh Bette?
Maybe if you'd have paid more attention to Tina a few years ago, instead of
your career, things would be a little different now.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it.
Cut to:
Shane and The Hotness That Is Carmen having a drink in The Planet.
Alarmingly, The Hotness That Is Carmen seems to be wearing DUNGAREES.
Therefore, until further notice, I'm afraid I'll have to downgrade her
status from The Hotness That Is Carmen, to simply, Carmen.
Dungarees are a sin that is not easily forgiven! (Unless you're 2 years old,
pregnant or from the 70's....)
Kit comes along and asks if "DJ Suga!" would like to hear some good news.
Seemingly Russell Simmons (entrepreneur and co-founder of hip-hop label Def
Jam in real life folks!) wants Carmen to DJ at a VIP after party!
"HOLY SHIT! ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME!" shouts the denim dungaree-clad Carmen
joyously.
When Kit confirms that she is not, indeed, kidding, Carmen grabs her in a
bear of a hug as Shane looks on happily.
HOWEVER.....
Turns out that the gig is the following evening at 9.
JUST when Shane is having her party for her 'Shane 4 Wax' opening.
oh poo. sucky timing Mr Simmons.
Shane says it's fine, Kit apologises for not realising and Carmen is
immediately torn as to what to do!
A) take a HUGE step with the Simmons gig to further her DJing career
B) go to her girlfriend's exclusive skater boi hair salon opening
Kit takes her leave from them and Carmen turns to Shane all angsty, wanting
to know what to do.
To which Shane says straight away, "C'MON this is a HUGE thing! Don't give
it up for Wax!"
Cut to: tennis legend Billie Jean King doing a report for a sports channel.
She's interviewing Dana after she won a big match.
Dana is all grinny and overawed, cause, like, y'know, IT'S BILLIE JEAN KING
FOR GAWD'S SAKE!
I must warn you though viewers - this scene between the two is pretty
cringe-worthy.
As an actress, Billie Jean makes a good tennis player.
PLUS, we never see a wide shot of Dana and her TOGETHER in the studio at the
same time, giving the whole thing an air of fakeness.
Who knows, perhaps they DID film their respective scenes at different times
and weren't even in the same room with each other - BUT if they WERE there
at the same time, just one tiny, quick shot of them sitting across the desk
from each other would have made the world of difference in my humble
opinion.
Anyhoo, Billie Jean congratulates Dana on her win, and asks her about being
people constantly questioning her on her sexuality etc.
Dana gushes thank you in her very cute, star struck way to a woman, she
herself admits, is something of a "hero" for her.
