    In the early 90s, my mom moved us into a highrise so we could have round-the-clock protection from my batshit father. We had to give away our tabbies.


    She brought out the 'Eloise' books in an effort to stop my tears.


    Sorry... hadn't visited that memory in about a decade and decided to share.

    I don't understand New Yorkers and this silly lore. Give us southern girls a Barbie styling head with the blue eyeshadow, and hair that really wasn't meant for a curling iron (it melts!) and we were plum happy for hours. We might have inhaled some toxic fumes (plastic hair) and developed a rash from the make-up (made out of aluminum dyes), but we had fun, dammit! And nobody had to spend no $895 just for us to do girly stuff.

    They also offer a Hardy Boys Package. The main difference is it's free and comes with two guys named Frank and Joe, who try to solve the case of the missing pants.

    FWIW, it beats the Little Nell package at London's Daniel Quilp Hotel, which includes a complimentary begging bowl and case of tuburculosis.

    For an additional $99, ex-Bear Stearns CEO James Cayne will pass a tray of hors d'oeuvres and dance a lick as the beloved "Wacky Butler."

    May I ask how the postage on postcards that come with an $895 hours-long hotel stay is "complimentary?" Do the stamps tell me my tie looks nice?

    Back in the days when Times Square was good and scary (and not fun scary, run for your life in the daytime scary)the National Lampoon did a take on the original Eloise with "Eloise in the Hotel Dixie", the latter hotel being one of the more notorious of the area (when I was a teenager, I swear every time I passed the place I saw a pregnant teenage hooker). I can't find it on the web, but it must be somewhere. Look it up. It's worth it. And a lot less insulting to the memory of Kay Thompson than this horrific shit.

    For $3,595, it better come with actors dressed as Nanny and Weenie and the turtle, whatever the hell his name is.

    For the truly poor, they're offering a Heloise package: they give the kid a mop, a bucket and tips on cleaning; then they put her to work.

    The Eloise in the pic looks about 7 months along.

    The best part:


    "It includes the night in a Deluxe Rose Suite, with the promise of an upgrade."


    It makes upgrade sound kinda sordid.
