FRAME 1:
When I talk to the Gold Lady on the phone, she is in the Beverly Hills Chanel Boutique. Why is she in a boutique, you might ask, especially since she doesn’t buy her dresses off the rack, even a Chanel rack? Karl Lagerfeld made some dresses specially for her, but she could not meet him in Paris to pick them up. so he had them flown to L.A. She’s just waiting for her order and I can her the clacking of her heels. “Karl,” she tells me, “promises me these dresses will be exquisite.” Susan looks at me oddly whenever I say “Karl.”
FRAME 2:
Sometimes I have to wonder about that Susan. Reads all those fashion magazines and doesn’t even know who Karl Lagerfeld is? I wonder what she would look like in a Chanel outfit. I’m not even talking about knock-offs because anyone can wear a Chanel knock-off, but can one wear the real thing and pull it off? If Susan cuts her hair (into a 1920′s bob and wear some redder lipstick), she can pull it off. I’ve seen Susan wear shoes like those before, but I know they’re not authentic. The Gold Lady wears authentic Chanel pumps when she is in a Chanel suit. Some things should not mixed and matched.
FRAME 3:
Here you can see Susan wears her hair very straight. Too straight. It’s not even that bitchy straight that’s in style right now. She could use a little wave, some body, maybe should just cut it pixie short. Sometimes she wears lipstick, but sometimes she doesn’t, but it’s never a good color. Too bad, because Susan is very pretty and she doesn’t dress in a way that’s flattering to her. I think Dr. Souza, AKA Dr. Laura, is mentoring her fashion sense. Granted, Susan needs that ugly white coat, but what she wears underneath needs work.
Frame 4:
While the Gold Lady is waiting for her dresses, she tells me Quentin has the perfect part for her. I ask her who Quentin is and she says, “You know perfectly well who Quentin is. If I must spell it out…” I ask her to tell me more, but all she will tell me is that she gets to wear a yellow motorcycle outfit. I ask her if the Man with the 4-Way Hips is going to be in this and she says, “No, Quentin has not considered him for anything. So how does that make him feel? The Gold Lady says the Man has been overlooked lately.
