    What did these passengers expect? London and Chicago are their respective continents' capitals of drunken buffoonery. #scary

    I just knew United's cost-cutting change taking away the employee discount for on-board booze was going to have unintended consequences. #scary

    Why can't guys like this wait till they're actually flying the plane before they start drinking? Like normal pilots do. #scary

    He was just preparing to join the friendly locals in Chicago. At any given time, probably 65% of us are drunk. #scary

    The title of my book about her is called "The Devil Wore Giorgio Beverly Hills and Her Dad Bought it For Her."



    But that's how RMHMH imagines she smells and I am pretty sure no matter her scent, like everything else including her current freedom, her father bought it for her.

    No one else notice how horrifically bad the writing is here? Sorry enough this dude gets published based on a long ago, v. inside baseball, shallow rich people incident, but he can't write an elegant, clever, witty sentence to save his life. Richard Lawson: where is your book deal?!?!? You could, as they say, eat a bowl of Alpha-Bits and poop a better novel than this kid...

    Kim Novak in The Mirror Crack'd: "I could eat a can of Kodak and puke a better movie."



    Also, I think that 'horrific' is a bit harsh. But then I have very low expectations of writers these days.

    @DorothyBarker: I am sick of whiny little twats like this one whining their whiny little whines about how mean their should-have-seen-it-coming-from-5,000-miles-away boss was/is/might have been one day immediately after stepping on a tack. I think Lizzie's no angel, but then there are undiscovered native tribes in Brazil who know that much. You decide to work for people like her for one of two things: social capital and/or free booze. The rest of it should go without saying.



    Or if you're going to say it--at least say it well.

    Am I wrong to think that "ogress" would have been, well, le mot juste in that last descriptive passage?

    It needs a bit of tightening and more descriptions of her truly vomitotious scowl-face and terrifying maw. But, hey, it's kinda spiffy.

    I think the cover art is too subtle. It should be a merry-go-round, and instead of horses there are Louboutin shoes and he is riding in one of the shoes and there are lines that indicate the merry-go-round is moving too fast, and there is a foot about to step on him.
