(Looks in mirror, looks at pic of aunt)

No, not Asian.

Just a proud brunette.

BTW, mom = low maintenanace = Mimi's

aunt = high maintenance = VDF, Charlie Palmer, Chanel, LV, Gucci, Chole, .... :cheese:

Aunt = OUCH! I see ALOT of ladies like that at the studio.... More than a few have ALOT extra work done to them.

Anyways good luck

Nah, aunt is not that old yet. She dresses younger than me...

If she can pull it off, more power to her! If not...well that's a different story.

Which one do you want me to be? :lol:

FYI, the answer varies by the minute, you should know better than that! :lol:

Lucky for her, she can! She's in the entertainment industry, so she's got a lot of resources. ;-)

Makes playing Truth or Dare with you very exciting.

Remember, I’m looking for depth.

Maybe we'll visit Macy’s Home at Crystal Court.

I’m thinking of going with a new paint scheme in my master bedroom.

Something to make it more cozy.

Would be interested in hearing your opinion or suggestions

How about this along with a couple of plastic palm trees and his and hers crotchless gorilla suits?

Messed. Up.

:-S

 

[tenmagnet_IHB]

Thanks for the suggestion but I don’t want to copy Bk’s style.

 

[SoCal78_IHB]

How do these threads get so off topic? From the slowing of the restaurant business to crotchless gorilla suits? Hmph!

Sshhh! Let Ten go to work here. He has taken a lighter approach that could work. He has yet to close a deal... so, I am thinking third time is a charm.

Yeah right, you must have me confused with someone else.

If Allison was at the book signing last week this would already be a done deal.

The back and forth banter in the forums is forcing me to be creative.

I never have to work this hard.

Great looks only take you so far.

I’m trying to show her that I have substance as well.

I am honored that you would consider me to make suggestions for your bedroom. :lol:

But I thought you would be thinking of sth like Yves Delorme...Macy's??... oh well.

I take Audemars Piguet as a form of payment. (for the consultation.. hello?? What were you thinking? ) :lol:

See you Monday. :cheese:

 

[caycifish_IHB]

Allison: If he asks you to analyze paint chip samples taped to the ceiling above his bed... don't fall for it.

I was under the impression that you were low-maintenance Allison C. and not Nicky Hilton.

Took my high maintenance aunt to South Coast Plaza last week, went to Vie De France, where the line is always ridiculously long for the onion soup. What do you know, there was no line at noon time! For the 1 1/2 hours we were there, there was no line ever, so we took advantage of the situation and rested our feet!

They’ve got the best chocolate croissants there.

No line?

Did you go on a weekend, that place gets jammed.

I usually wait as well, no fan of the Corner Bakery which seldom gets busy.

They moved to a new location that is not as convenient. I used to have to buy something when I'm in South Coast plaza but not anymore. The Corner Bakery in Irvine is always busy because of the UCI students.

Sorry, I mean’t the Corner bakery at South Coast Plaza adjacent to the Macy’s Men store.

Where did Vie De France move to?

Aren’t they on the first floor next to the Armani store.

Vie De France is now outside Saks. I was there Friday, but still...

And while my high maintenance aunt was at Chanel in Bloomingdale's, they told her there's a special. (Imagine a special deal at Chanel!!) Each $250 you spend, you get $50 gift card. That's like 20% off!

C’mon now,

Bloomingdales is a great store.

Chanel is a great choice for your aunt.

You don’t want her wearing MAC like you right?

LOL. MAC is for RuPaul. LOL.

I don’t know about that.

Fergie was doing a promotion at the South Coast store.

She not hot enough for you?

Fergie looks like a horse. Have you seen her without makeup or at least in a non-airbrushed, non-enhanced photo?

Hi Lendingmaestro, I have not seen it, but have you seen the pics of her p** in her pants on stage? That was gross.... hh:
