[COLOR=#0000ff; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium]What is new in the life of the lady in the yellow dress that appears on our website.  I have been shampooing carpets today, the fumes have fogged up my memory because I cannot remember her name.  It is Charmaine! AHA! Last I heard, she was having work done and was taking a break from her wild life.  Too many cocktails (and I am sure she could tell a few tales), too many men (lucky her), and not enough rest have seem to have made her disappear from the discussion threads on this site.[/COLOR]


[COLOR=#0000ff; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium]WE IN VACUUMLAND MUST BE UPDATED! Inquiring minds want to know.  [/COLOR]


[COLOR=#0000ff; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium]I know that John Long had a few stories about her sordid life.  Tell those tails again.  We need some levity on this site.[/COLOR]


 


[COLOR=#0000ff; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium]A great day to all in Vacuumland.  It is a balmy 80 degrees in sunny South Florida.  Ha Ha to all the snow people.[/COLOR]

Idle Gossip

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">If I promise not to reveal the source, tell me what she is up to these days.  I never pass along gossip, unless of course it is vile.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I know that John Long knows all the secrets about Charmaine.  Come on John, tell us what we want to know.  Some of us have to live vicariously through others.</span>

Charmaine

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Fred Nelson also knows of her activities.  </span>


 


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Calling out to Fred.  What's new with Charmaine.  We have not heard a thing about her for ages.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">She has to be up to something?  Did she ever recover from her exploits with Glamorene?
</span>
 
Well, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHHT!!!!!!!

Pour yourselves a Dr. Pepper and sit down.
Yes, it's true. THat IS our Chrmaine......... AFTER the plastic surgeon had been given Carte Blanche. Well, it HAD to be done!!Y'all remember that photo of "Glamorene"? WEll, she's unrecognizable now! She tried to legally change her name (kinda like witness protection).
QUICK recap for our NEW people.
Charmaine had an arsenal of "Glamorene" floor cleaner .. years of fratonizing w/ the Glamorene dealer.Her son, "Bruce", used to make "root beer floats" in the basement. That's what he called it!He then went on to a career on a cruiseship (The S.S. Both sides now) his drag name is Miss Penny Candy! He did a wild show at the "lounge at the airport". playing NIGHT TRAIN on the Hammond organ. WITH pedals!!That poor little girl in the photo, was sent to a convent to "readjust". Charmaine's sister, (married that PROTESTANT)LATER was found cavorting with the installer of Bigelow Shag!!
And on and on............. Fast forward to recent times.
Charmaine was given legal notice for defamation of character......her 3rd warning.She also had to go for counseling after almost ruining the careers of Bruce's "colleagues".... Miss Sharon Peters, Hedda Lettuce, Marsha Dimes, Rachel Tension, Bang, Bang La Desh,and, the one and only, Miss Virginia Hamm!!Her old Glamorene dealer, Jude E. Garland, went on to sell windows, ( a problem arose when someone mentioned "double hung") I can't expound here, it's too wicked!
Charmaine has a new lease on life. While institutionalized, she watched EVERY single episode of Martha Stewart and Sue Ane Nivens. Thus, her new look, dress, necklace, high heels, etc.... (of course, high heels are nothing new to her). She once again speaks at The Junior League. She can't bring herslef to return to the V.F.W. (she WAS a 5 time Jitterbug champ) Now, she delights in making JELLO molds, and has a fine reputation in the town. Well, all WAS going well. Then. well, not everyone knows the sorted details. But, I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's just say, it's not all the way it appears. I need a Bromofizz! More details when I'm able. Remember: Life is full of secrets, and I keep 'em.
 
I remember when Fred had to wash his hands of her.

It was a cool brisk Fall evening. The usual fabulous party was happening at Fred's house, (only "A" list attendees). The grand piano was being played,. fab "substantial finger foods' were served, No tater tots, etc. PLEASE!!Well, naturally, Bruce was trying out his new "act" before hitting the ocean. (cruiseship). THEN, Miss Charmaine took center stage. All were on edge, at first. BUT, when she got to "The Man That Got Away"....she chanbged the words. Everyone was there but the police, but, they'd be there any minute. She was removed in handcuffs (very different from the ones in her own wardrobe). Our own Miss Tania was there,but, being the lady she is, she vowed to never speak of it again.I believe she has successfully blocked it from, memory.
And, the beat goes on.............
 
I heard about that party!

From what I'm told that turned out to be the "party of the year" as it were. I understand that EVERY police officer in the district who was able was there!
And the handcuffs? Didn't Charmaine refer to them as bracelets? They were/are some of her prized possessions. She's also talked about having other jewelry in that nature...jewelry so valuable,I assume, that she keeps it in a special room. I think she called it her bonded room. Some name like that.
And, poor dear, Adele from the Clip and Curl told me that she has a sleeping problem now. Must suffer from sleepwalking from the way Adele described the new bed Charmaine has. Cuffs and straps to hold a body in the bed. Poor dear, to have to go through that every night! Every night! Maybe I should offer her some Ambien to help out.

Isn't that her sister?

You know, the one who married the PROTESTANT? She's such a show-off. Having to rub it in that she married well by flaunting an expensive Electrolux. And the one with the pop out bags. But, between you and me, that isn't the ONLY thing she expected to "pop out" when she is around!

That WAS the party of the year!!

Oprah was "supposed" to come, but "Gayle" had other plans.
That woman in the red dess, is the OTHER sister.......... not the one who married that PROTESTANT! She always looked down her nose (new nose, by the way) Shhhhhhh. at the others. That's "Jenny Kenny". She always boasted about her kids, Lenny, Denny, and Kenny. Well, Kenny met up with the plastic surgeon. (discounts, discounts)..
Back on track.... PLEASE "focus"!
Sadly, at the "party of all parties", Charmaine wanted to "tickle the ivories", too. However, not knowing how to play (the piano,), she tickled the pianist instead. Off to therapy she went. Then, when the doctor told her to "lie down". well that's a phrase she'd hear a few times before. maybe 10... or 70!
It was there, at the medical arts building, that she spyed a Regina Housekeeper in the hall. UHUH.... You can imagine what else happened. I know you realize how difficult it is to re-live all this, but, I'll endure.
Remember: I NEVER repeat gossip!!! So, pay attention the FIRST time.
 
So....THAT'S how

Charmaine was able to affort that plastic surgeon! Family discount. Well, as my Sherman always says, "I should pay retail when I can get it wholesale?". At least they kept it in the family. Nice nose, I might add. It seemed strange that Charmaine could afford such a good plastic surgeon after that disastrous fire at her house when the insurance refused to pay the claim citing "operator error - intentional use of a flamable substance". It did seem strange that all those firemen claimed she didn't know the meaning of "operator error", though, when the decision was issued.
You don't think that Charmaine had that nice doctor who ended up being placed in Happy Hollows, do you? He was such a nice man, and so good looking. Of course, you had to put up with his constant bragging on how much this and that he had and how much money he made.
Really, with a Regina Housekeeper? I'd have thought Charmaine would have better taste than that! Why, that poor thing couldn't possibly hold up against her!

That hair!!!

Adele, at the Clip and Curl told me that Charmaine was thinking of changing her color but I didn't think she would go so RED!!!! Adele said Charmain confided in her that she felt she wasn't getting the attention she deserved so a new color would help. And, that dress! She certainly has gotten her wear out of it. But, then, Charmaine usually ended up out of it most times, anyway! This should be interesting at the next Junior League meeting!
