The GUILD 4-1-2002 Fools Rush In

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

My new Style magazine came today so I am being the guinea pig for all of you, all in the name of beauty.

There is a makeup artist that uses cherry jello to stain lips. I didn't have cherry so I am using sugar free raspberry. You apply it as a powder and let it sit for at least 5 minutes and your lips should be red all day. So I am sitting here with raspberry lips trying not to lick it off. I will let you know the results.

It would put Liza's wedding to shame for sure...ha ha...The Mother of the Bride would be outstanding in either her canary yellow pantsuit or her poopy brown suite (as mountaineer would say, crusty rusty) or perhaps the black pantsuit with another frilly white blouse designed by Oscar dela Renta. I am sure Hillary will swipe something from old Oscar's closet while she is there this week...Oh please, a wedding would be such fun for us at the Guild.

[Timeout]

Well????? How did it work? I LOVE black cherry jello, but I think just plain ole cherry would look better on me...black cherry sounds more like Chels.

[pubmom]

I am looking at that raspberry box of Jello in my cabinet in a whole new way.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Well my lips are redder, it tasted good, but we need to see how long this will last.

Happy April Fools Day, Guilders! HLL, I have to tell you how much Sir SuziQ enjoyed the "Quantum Physics" Thread last week! He read through the whole thing! But he especially likes the little stick man saying 'Hello'!

Hey! Finally got a free moment and the teenager off the computer.

I can't wait to find out how the sugar-free rasberry jello works out. All I have is the orange. That probably won't work too well.

How about this latest Blubba interview? Blubba is one sick freak, and that Johnathan Alter is on his third set of knee pads! If you've seen any of the interviews Alter's been doing he looks gleeful when he talks about how much money Blubba is making. I'm so happy for bill and hill. They finally have real jobs that pay real money. Now they'll be able to experience real TAXES! What's that brackett, about 50%? hehehehe!

[BigWaveBetty]

But, but, but.....we cover the news too! (Tossing curls and stamping foot)

LOL! You are a hoot Mae!

Update on the bedroom (so nice of you to ask for updates)... mostly done, just have to find some artwork for those new spots on the wall. The drapes were my biggest problem, didn't realize until it was too late that I've never put up drapes before. By the time I had my own home and was decorating blinds were all the rage and any curtains I used I made myself on the fly. So, many more dollars than I expected we have drapes!

They're so pretty, the color is wine and the material velvet. If you have a Pottery Barn catalog you can find them in there. Just love Pottery Barn! And that kids catalog makes me so glad I didn't know about them when my kidlets were small!

[MaeWest]

Sounds fabulous. Redecorating is so much fun. I know what you mean about the cost of drapes. Window treatments didn't used to be that expensive, did they? Or do our tastes just get more expensive as time goes by?

[BigWaveBetty]

Yes the taste does become more expensive but only because we've have the wisdom ;-) to know cheap stuff is throwing your money away. I kept having to order more panels and one extra valance. Needed to modify two valances instead of the one I thought it would take. I was pouting about it and hubby was so sweet, he said those things happen.

I have one of those recess boxes (guessing that's what it's called) in the wall way up close to the ceiling. *groan i hate dusting standing on a ladder* Thought I might put a silver vase and a couple of brass vases with a silk plant but I'm short a plant so far. Do you have any ideas for a spot like that?

[mountaineer]

Hi all. I've had quite a laugh reading yesterday's news. How had I missed that the Klauses were Republicans? How embarrassing to see your straight-A student son making such a fool of himself at fashion shows, pubs, etc., with the dimbulb daughter of a couple of evil skanks. Ah, the things we do to our parents.

Gotta run out to the store soon, and so probably will be gone before we get the definitive opinion on the efficacy of Jello as a beauty aid. Oh well.

The Clintoons visit the Basilica of Higuey in the Dominican Republic. I'm sure it was just a coincidence that authorities arrested seven people at the same site Monday morning for trespassing and practicing Satanic rituals there, link to story.

[Endeavor]

Those arrested were probably part of Hillary's posse.

[daisyscarlett]

I don't know if it is a coincidence or what but Mr. Daisy got a new issue of one of his fishing mags and it had a "recipe" in it to catch carp and bullheads and it requires red jello. Luckily I went out and bought him some before the results of your experiment are in, cause if they are positive I am sure we will have a run on raspberry jello at the supermarkets....

I'm guessing that the fish will lick their lips of the raspberry jello and gulp! swallow the hook and be caught!!

[mountaineer]

I wonder if the Clintons took communion when they went to a Catholic church for Easter mass while on their cozy family vacation. Stand clear of the lightning bolt!

Well, todays gossip reads for 4/2 are headed by the NY Social Diary.com best dressed of the upper crust list with Queen Rania and Colin Powell.

Michael Moore is getting thrown out of his apartment, Babs Striesand is attacking Dubya again (Jeanette Walls MSNBC.com)

Britney Spears is sunbathing topless in Miami while screaming on her cell phone to ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake..(Page Six)

Phil Donahue getting offered a prime time talk show on MSNBC (E! Online)

The Queen will visit Lady Diana's grave on her Golden Jubliee 50th Anniversary of her Coronation Tour (London Tabs)

And most importantly tonight at the Kennedy Center Ballet our own lovely first Lady Laura Bush will be with Queen Noor for the performance.

[mountaineer]

If we don't have any Jello, can we just eat a red popsicle?

[mountaineer]

THE paparazzi are in full cry in Miami today trying to sneak pictures of virginal Britney Spears, who is said to be lapping up the sun and doing it topless on a yacht. (I don't know why celebrities get so upset when they're snapped like this - if you don't want to see your bare breasts in the supermarket tabs, just keep your bikini bra on.) Spies say that Spears remains cut up about the end of her romance with Justin Timberlake. The former couple is said to have had several cell phone conversations, all of which ended in shouting matches.

She really is a nitwit, isn't she? Not only will the press get pictures of her topless (which isn't much of a stretch from her usual state of dress), but they'll probably be able to get the scoop on her phone conversations. At the newspaper, we get a kick out of listening to peoples' cell phone calls over the police scanner. We've heard drug deals, lovers' quarrels, you name it. Memo to Britney - not much is private anymore.

Your tax dollars at work:

BILL Clinton's eye for art is better than his eye for the ladies. While giving a series of lucrative lectures in Australia, Bubba also picked up etchings of French beaches by masters Pierre-August Renoir and Raoul Dufy - plus prints of works by Picasso, Chagall and Joan Miro - for a bargain-basement price of $26,000 total. Clinton, who maybe needs to cover the bare walls at his Harlem offices, also coughed up $10,000 for two pieces by Aussie painter David Boyd, reports ARTnewsletter. Page Six

Well, I guess it beats Elvis on velvet, although I'm curious about the "bargain basement" aspect of the transaction.

I still have the drapes made out of some Star Wars sheets and pillowcases I had when I was (much) younger. While they are still good enough for me, my better half has better taste.
