Oh, Mary.

UPDATE: We've been fooled! That was actually from one of our industrious little commenters:

"Mary Rambin" said...

This is too funny not to mention: I posted on the QotD as "Mary Rambin" and posted the following five things as her "bucket list" items:

1) Get married in the next 3 years
2) Start a family
3) Relaunch my handbag line
4) Move to New Canaan
5) Write a weekly fashion critique column for the New York Times

Except I purposely misspelled "relaunch" as "relonch" and it's still up there, but the misspelled word has been corrected. Their "intern" thinks these bucket list items are really from Mary! IDIOTS.

I guess we're the idiot, too.

Today's QOD is so very deep: If you had to create a Bucket List (a list of things to do before you die), what would be in the top 5 spots?

The Trio of Banality's very own Handmaiden of Passive Aggression posts her response:

1) Get married in the next 3 years
2) Start a family
3) Relaunch my handbag line
4) Move to New Canaan
5) Write a weekly fashion critique column for the New York Times

Oh, Mary. Poor, sweet, reality-challenged Mary. Number five is so laughable, it's actually quite depressing that you have such little self-awareness. Where do we begin? Well, first, you know nothing about style. We hate to say it, but you dress hideously. Actually, we don't hate to say it. I mean, you generally look really bad, and you have pretty awful taste. (And: Your handbags are hideous.) For serious, honey. Also, you can't write, have absolute disdain for taking pride in your work and don't really even know how to follow current events. I think the Gray Lady would take exception to some of these things.

But good luck with the others. Three years, eh?

  1. Don't worry. I make the same mistake much of the time when I read the comments on QOD (before everything was posted here, of course!), since the combination of sly pranksters and morons running NS makes it difficult to tell the difference between the real idiocy and the spoofs, which go just slightly over the edge.

  2. It's hilarious, a little sad and deeply telling that the pranksters have gotten so good at imitating Mary's idiocy that even the "intern" can't tell the difference. Speaking of the intern, I seriously doubt Charlsie even exists since we have yet to see photographic evidence... perhaps she's just another one of Julia's many personalities?

  3. That "intern" Charlsie sounds like such a complete tool, whoever he/she/it actually is. I never know whether it's the REAL Charlsie or not with most of Charlsie's whiney postings, but this mysterious being sure is the meaning of pathetic. Who actually tells one's potential customers/page-viewers to leave a website if they don't like it? When no one even bothers to post rules about proper posting etiquette?? Do any of these morons know how to update their webpage with actual posting rules?!

    As for the idea of Mary getting hitched in three years, she might want to quit tanning and dressing like an aging schoolmarm if she plans on competing with the rest of the desperate-to-marry masses of singles females in NYC with far more to offer than poor Miss Rambin.

  5. So why is homeless Mary Rambin crashing in her fab friend Andy's bed in LA? (I'd at least have the decency to offer to sleep on the couch. Selfish bitch.) Is she auditioning for a TV job talking about last year's red carpet fashions? Looking for a new place to house her designer shoe collection since she had to put all her belongings in storage? Jumping ship on Nonsociety? Expanding her dating pool to LA since she's so unwanted in NY? If I were the real or fake Mary Rambin, my bucket list would most definitely include something like "find permanent shelter because I cannot make a home out of designer scarves, shoes and purses."

  6. I thought it was a little weird that Mary didn't go to Germany with Julia and Meghan. Assuming they were actually invited to the conference (a big assumption), why exactly wouldn't Mary go? A little tension between the two louder NS girls, perhaps.

    Two's company, three's a crowd.

  7. It's about the money, chickadees. Julia gets a free ride to Munich as a panelist. Megs can afford to use her own/family money, whichever. Mary seems a little more, er, strapped these days, being homeless and more or less not-remuneratively employed. Plus Megs is the "serious" techie one, who can show Julia the Davos ropes as she has already been there, to what end I was never exactly sure. So that, possums, is the official Dyspeptic analysis of why two little bunnies went to market and one (proudly Botoxed) bunny stayed home.
