Removing the feeding tube from our aging hipster plaid pants - Page 43

Reported by an "anonymous source" to Hollywood Momentum, an online rag for assistants working in the entertainment industry:

linky

One of my former producer bosses insisted on making me set up personal appointments for various aspects of her life. At first I didn't mind scheduling the occasional Scientology meeting or divorce counseling session. But the first major sign of impending doom came when I was asked to set appointments for her gynecologist, and then was forced to be the "messenger boy" between her and her doctor with the various consultation questions or test results that she was too busy to ask of him herself. But the final straw for me was having to set a waxing appointment at Pink Cheeks salon. Having the esthetician ask me if she wanted to go get "The Playboy" or instead go bald this week was too much for me to take. I don't mind working for a cu*t, but directly dealing with the one belonging to my boss is where I draw the line.

Oh, Flinty. You keep posting this shit, and I'm gonna run out of industry jobs to find for you.

The "esthetician"? Jesus H. What next -- "pubic engineers"?

I, for one, would be proud to call myself a twat-waxer.

And what is "The Playboy"? Is that the landing-strip look? I miss that look -- it seems like everyone now is either completely bald (what ABBA so memorably called the "teenaged Asian hooker" look) or retro-muff.

Important thoughts for a Friday afternoon.

Not everyone. I know when I go see the waxer, I always think about what Sebby would prefer.

I think they prefer to be called 'GOD DAMNED MOTHERFUCKING BITCHSUCKING PUSSYDRIPPING CUNT waxers.'

Who doesn't?

In other news, opposing counsel in one of my cases was just appointed as a state court judge in Beacoup Egypt. Another opposing counsel was just sued for malpractice.

What are appropriate gifts? Assume that the new judge is a relatively decent guy who had shitty clients, and that the malpracticing lawyer made a mistake, but is a generally decent lawyer.

What? You can bribe er I mean buy gifts for judges in your imaginary city/state? (I was going to put fictitious, but imaginary seemed better).

Aesthetician is a term of art in the beauty biz. It refers to anyone other than the people who do nails.

I do not know what the Playboy is, but I suspect it has something to do with bunnies.

You can buy gifts for judges in your real state, so long as they don't exceed $250 in any calendar year.

FYI.

Sure is harder to spell and pronounce than "waxer."

Sure. I'll never appear in front of him. As the new kid in the courthouse, he was assigned to family law cases. Besides, he's sued all of my big clients, so he'll have to recuse himself for a long time.

Uh, at least I think it's ok to get him a bottle of booze or gavel or "Here Come De Judge" t-shirt.

I'm guessing $250 will buy a pretty high-end hooker in Beacoup, Egypt.
