*dowager: a lady of advanced age who is able to use her acerbic wit to full advantage without consequences
Larainy: Countess, I'm so pleased to welcome you to Larainy Days. May I call you Violet?
Countess: Absolutely not.
Larainy: I don't suppose you are a regular reader?
Countess: Oh heavens no. I've quite enough my fill of scandal from the London papers.
Larainy: I'll show you a celebrity, and you give us your opinion, okay?
Countess: Let's get on with this shall we, I always have a lie down before tea.
"If this young lady had a proper fitting she wouldn't have to wait for her bosom to grow into her dress"
"Her hair puts me in mind of a border collie I saw working a herd of sheep in the north of England on a dreadfully windy day."
"Evening gowns are not meant to be constructed of the same fabric one uses to cover the drawing room divan."
"Now there's a tasteful gown. She is obviously not American."
"If a gentleman wants to appear manly, he should choose a lady companion that does not make him appear a dwarf."
"A fleshy arrow pointing at one's private parts is the height of bad taste."
"This gentleman's dour countenance makes it extremely obvious that this couple had a marital spat prior to arriving and that the lady won."
"In my day one used tissue paper to wrap gifts, not partially drape ones torso."
"It appears that this is another example of a couple involved in a domestic disturbance prior to the event. The gentleman seems to have strained his hair-pulling arm, but not before he did a substantial amount of damage"
Larainy: Thank you so much Countess. Be sure and watch the mail for your thank you gift, a $.50 off coupon for a crunchwrap supreme at Taco Bell.
Countess: I'll be counting the hours.

LOL, isn't it nice to have a dowager around to make the comments that refined ladies like us can only think?
I've been waiting for your report on fashion this week. So glad you found good help.
Me thinks the Countess needs to remove the barnacles from her own head dress before casting stones
love. all of it.
Your captions made me laugh out loud...literally :)
I like your blog :)
The fleshy arrow - thank you for this very bright spot in an otherwise-grey day. I absolutely loved this - love your wit, which strikes me as much more British than American. (Not to cast aspersions on American wit!)
Noted a comment by you, on another blog. Popped over to see you and your blog. Oh wow, what WIT!!!!!
Oh no! Please no! Eeeeek! I fear I have found yet another blog, to read. -sigh- -moan- -pout-
I can't find another witty, cute, enjoyable, fun blog! I can't! I can't! I can't, I tell you! -sob-

Oh well, maybe just ONE more.
There simply are not that many out there, with all those qualifications ya' know.
OK!
I can do that.
I can. I can. I can.
Gentle hugs,

Oh Laraine, what would I have done without your review of the Globes? The Countess was spot on, I might add. I do love the ridiculous, don't you?
Oh how I've missed you! Did you just post this today so I won't yell at you tomorrow at lunch for not blogging?
Oh my heavens, it was safe of me to NOT remember to RSVP for this event. My gown would have won the fashion opinion of all, being from America and all........but I do love to hear the British speak.
Spot on!!
Your gift to the Countess is MOST generous! How could she not love you?
I am SO happy to have met you at lunch today. What a pleasure to know you. xoxoxox
Violet nailed it.
I have missed your posts! This one was hilarious. The George Clooney one was my favorite :)

Cool blog post!
Hahahahaha! If life were fair, Joan Rivers would lose her job and be replaced by the Countess and her hilarious Larainy mouthpiece.
Oh my gosh! How do you come up with this stuff? You have to be one of the funniest people in America! Thanks for making me laugh tonight. I needed it!
xo,
Jill
