    I want to be referred to as Master of Education please. That's right, when referencing me, you have to call me Jenloveshercurves, Master of Education. I actually did something to be called this.

    does she give to charity because she realizes what a big fucking bitch she is and thinks, much like carbon offset, that money can make up for that severe lacking in, well, EVERYTHING!

    Anyway, isn't her hubby supposed to be French royalty? Correct me if I'm wrong, I've only seen snippets of the show. If so, France hasn't recognized its royalty since the second Restauration in the 19th-century!!! There is no monarchy in France. It's not like England where there's still a titular monarchy/royal line.


    But maybe I'm wrong about it. Either way, total bullshite.

    @Hippopotame:

    There are people that hold on to those titles for dear life, despite the fact that they mean sweet fuck all. If you look around they do have lists of the next in line for the French Royalty. Rather silly really :D

    Uh, I tell the mail room guys to call me by my first name...not my last name...and certainly if I had a title...not by that. Why? Because you should treat others as you wish to be treated...which would be not constantly reminding adults that you are "superior" to them.

    Is it my imagination or was LuAnne not all that bad last season? I remember she wasn't very interested in her children but other than that, she wasn't all that tied up on having some worthless title.

    @HokeyPokey: There was the episode in which she insisted upon being called "Mrs. De le Seps" by one of the other women's drivers "like you would with children". It was classless. That was, not surprisingly, the episode in which I stopped loving her.

    @HokeyPokey: She wasn't this bad, but there was the time she admonished Bethany that she shouldn't have introduced LuAnn to their driver as "LuAnn," but as "Mrs. Delesseps." Because "it's like with children, it's just a sign of respect." GAG.

    LuAnne,


    Bitch, you have no idea what it takes to be a REAL countess. I hereby decree Jezebel as my countship, before you try to take it.


    Sincerely,


    LA Comtesse

    Ha, this is very similar to a certain "Sir" in Hollywood who insists on everyone calling him "Sir." In order to make my blind item less blind, you would have noticed this quite obviously at the Academy Awards when 5 male actors were presenting, two of which are knights, only one of which was identified as "Sir."


    You cannot make yourself royalty in America. People magazine does that.

    Why is the Countess ordering her own pizza anyway? Doesn't she have ladies in waiting to do that for her? Or at least a slacker relative/childhood friend turned personal assistant?

    "That is very not countess like. That is discountess." May replace "You can't possibly be that bourgeois" as my catch phrase.

    She's insisting on being called a countess in a society where that means nothing, and in some places would get you spit on. Honey, this is America, circa now. This is not Renaissance Italy.

    @trianaorpheus: I want to volunteer to be her next pizza delivery boy: "Ma'am, we here in this country fought a Revolution a while back so's to rid ourselves of the plague of so-called 'Nobility.' Hmph!" Then I'd make sure some cheese was stuck to the inside top of the box.


    Yes, I'd be the pizza delivery boy who never, ever got any tips.
