Kevin, darling? What have you done lately that means you deserve me buying these for you?

If you can’t come up with anything that isn’t deeply unwise to write down, then perhaps just a compliment or two on how both generous and whimsical I am would be more than sufficient.

I went to a new (recommended!) cosmetologist today.

Let us never speak of it again.

I have tripped and fallen and ended up in Paris on Christmas Eve. Which is both fortunate and unfortunate considering what has happened with Laurie.

I can’t be there right now (Paris is for business) but if anyone needs assistance, a shoulder to cry on or someone to shout at, feel free to call me or knock on my brain. I will leave a channel open and listening for anyone that needs it.

It’s Bastille Day. I, at the very least, would like to set at least one governmental institution on fire, Probably more. Occasionally all of them.

Also, people like to pretend I’m getting older when everyone knows diamond is both immortal and ageless.

If anyone is looking for me, I’ll be drinking French champagne somewhere and possibly knitting something shapeless and revolutionary. And making snicker-snack noises.

Why yes, renovations are going well. How can you tell?
xp_whitequeen: (Bored. disbelieving)
I have been dealing with people who renovate. Builder people. Project managers. Interior designers.

My sense of humour, all patience and a decent chunk of the Hellfire Club's funds are therefore currently in some form of escrow.

If anyone would like to buy me this to remind me that I don’t need to cause impertinent carpenters to defenestrate themselves but can rise above it and sail serenely onwards using only the sheer force of money to get my way, feel free.

So, in the not entirely hypothetical situation where I married Logan in a haunted house due a spell created by demons who may have been commenting on my supposed commitment-phobia (yes, I see you demons and I am not forgiving you any time soon), but we needed a ring, and it worked, except Molly was the celebrant and I’m fairly certain that she’s not legally allowed to marry anyone (in the celebrant not the bridal sense) - in that situation, do I need to get a divorce?

Note: I am many things, but I am not a lawyer.

Yes, Adrienne has gone to Muir.

No, I am not going either postal or hysterical about it.

No, I won't be talking or thinking about it.

No, don't ask me questions about it.

Yes, I am keeping busy.

For anyone who no longer wants to think about spiders, I offer this tidbit.

I'm currently in the process of organising renovations of my private bathroom at Frost Enterprises. Because of this, I receive and peruse rich people brochures for bathroom fittings.

So, this: http://kohler.dirxion.com/numi/app.php?RelId=6.10.7.0.1

I am fairly certain that if I knew the entire city could look up at night and see me having a pee on the toilet I decided to install in the middle of my glass-walled living room, I would also look that bloody wistful.

Rich people are very strange. This is true, no matter what Warren tries to tell you differently.

I tried

I really did try and do the classic day lazing around the pool, but whoever thought Jackie Collins was in touch with the lifestyles of the rich and infamous was very, very wrong.

I apologise to whoever it was who was underwater at the time I gave in, and nearly received Lucky in the face. But after 75 pages, I had to consign it to its deserved fate.

Is the most delightful name ever.

And yes, I shall be purchasing it and it will be joining my extensive, museum quality personal archive of Victorian-era pornography.

A well-brought-up lady must have hobbies, after all.

There's always so many things to keep a mind's eye on.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2123973-first-results-of-crispr-gene-editing-of-normal-embryos-released/

A mind's eye and a number of useful assets.

It appears I've managed to work through the night and into my birthday again.

I will be working from my suite in the Mansion from around midday today. There will be a formidable amount of French cheese, French wine and French champagne accompanying me, if anyone would care to drop in and share a toast to the passing of time.
xp_whitequeen: (haughty)
Apparently there is a meme that has been travelling around social media recently that says that no-one is going to stand up at your funeral and say "she had a really expensive couch and great shoes".

If there isn't at least half an hour of my funeral devoted to my shoe collection, preferably with an audio-visual presentation and some form of presentation booklet, I am coming back from the dead to demand answers from all of you. Particularly Adrienne and Doug. And possibly Jenny. Maybe Wanda.

Why yes, I'm back from my holiday now, though I'm at Frost Enterprises for a little while longer. I hope nothing too exciting happened while I was gone. Feel free to let me know if it has.

Thank you

Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone and the delivery, Doug. I apologise that I haven't been able to take the messages in person or visit the office more often lately. I have some delicate family business to attend to and it is occupying a considerable portion of my attention.

Rich men gave me prizes tonight. Apparently for my excellent services to industry. I wore something white and glittering and sheer and listened to exactly what services they wished me to perform. Them and their trophy wives. Some of them were quite - inventive.

I drank champagne and cognac and ate fine French food and celebrated vive la France.

Then I dropped in on the Brownstone to catch up with some work and I find my staff have decided that it's pantsless o'clock and to raid all of the liquor cabinets.

So, would any of you drunken panting pantless singing heathens care to worship Auntie Em at half past her birthday?

Oh Yves

The man made poetry framed around a woman's body.

A perfect gentleman. I remember him sewing me into my dress the day Frost Enterprises opened its Paris office.

If anyone is looking for me, I shall be drinking fine cognac and mourning the fact that the world has lost an artist.

Everything they say about the weather in this blighted country is true. Raining one second, clear blue skies the next.

We're safe, we're having fun, we're drinking tea and inhaling second hand smoke. Just thought I'd let you know.

TTFN.

Students, your attention please;

Spring break is coming up. I've been speaking with the other teachers, and I understand that a couple of our European students would like to take the opportunity to go home for a few days. I was planning to take a trip to Europe anyway during the break, so I've volunteered to act as travel chaperone.

Oh, but wait. There's more. The promise of in-flight champagne has been enough to lure Warren and Shinobi along for the trip, and with three responsible adults - no laughing at the back, please - we're allowed to bring a few more of you along. Yes, apparently there are rules about that sort of thing, and apparently we're going to abide by them.

So, this is your sign up sheet. If you're interested, let me know. Once I know how the numbers are shaping up, we can talk about money. The current plan is to fly to London - it's in England, darlings; you probably saw it in an episode of Friends once - but all requests will be considered.
xp_whitequeen: (get educated with emma)
Master de la Rocha, Master Shaw, report to my office at your nearest convenience, please. I need to discuss something with the pair of you.
