The Empress knows she's no Heidi or Spence, or even Ron Rod Blagojevich (though she shares his delusions of grandeur). So she thought she was HIGH when she got the call. But it turns out the Empress, traveling in rarified circles, knows people who know people in HIGH places. So word got around (thank you, subjects!) about the Empress' six month Goodwill Challenge, and she got a call from an underling at a broadcast station proposing a reality show. (The Empress doesn't live in reality, but she can play real on TV.) Okay, it wasn't BRAVO who called, but the Empress is willing to lower her royal standards for a local station, KCSM in San Mateo.
Cameras will follow the Empress as she shops undercover (no wearing the crown and mantle that day) at Goodwills and shares her tips for thrift buying, including don't look in the pockets of used robes as they may contain coins but usually have old petrified used Kleenex tissues.
Here's where the fans come in. The Empress is old and wizened, and would not embarrass the peerage by donning the fabulous finds she is sure to procure, so SHE NEEDS MODELS. Model call: if you are alive and wear garments in sizes between 8 and 16 (the Empress refuses to associate with anyone sylphlike enough to wear a size 2 -- they should be force fed in her opinion). So please contact the Empress if you would be game for joining her and becoming famous too...

Aunt Elise!!!!!!!!!! You know I MUST be one of your models!!!!!! Seriously I am dead serious,(is that serious enough for you?) Please pick me!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete<3 always Sarah The Duchess of Thrift :)
P.S I have many amazing finds as well!
You would be my first choice for model, but if you read down, this is April Fools! Still, it's such a good idea that I am going to pitch it, and you will be no. 1 model, doll.
ReplyDeleteI'd model, too, if I could get my bodacious body down to your neck of the woods... I'm a size 22, does that matter?
ReplyDeleteHa Ha, another anonymous here! Love it. If you can find a 50's style leopard print bathing "costume" for the Princess - so why does she think she's a duchess, I'll buy it! The one she wears in "Psycho Beach Party" is to die for, but it costs $80!
ReplyDeleteSo your April Fools is becoming reality.
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for Empress.
