So, it's that time of year again.
The "Social Season" is behind us. And all the holidays have come and gone.
It's mid-January now, and we're approaching the dreariness of deep winter!
In this world of the rich where I serve as Butler, all of a sudden there's this mass exodus of rich people all over the world -- headed to Switzerland!
For skiing at St. Moritz?
Ostensibly, yes!
But maybe not! Ha!
This is the time of year when all the nips and tucks are done -- when no one's paying attention!
There's a few frozen weeks coming up before spring, right? Plenty of time to do some plastic surgery -- and plenty of days or even weeks to hide out and recover from all the little procedures!
Eye Tucks, Nose Jobs, Eyebrow Lifts, Hair Transplants, Crow's Feet Reduction, Liposuction, Tummy Tucks, Breast Lifts/Implants, Rhinoplasty, and enough Botox injections to float a boat!
What have I left out?
Face Lifts! Of course! And Butt Lifts! Yes!
(And this could get really tricky in the Operating Room, if you look like a butt to begin with!)
There's one dear lady in local high society who's face has been stretched so many times, she now has a permanent smile! No matter what -- always smiling! (Which is why I suppose no one ever invites the poor dear to wakes or funerals anymore!)
Around here, the Mister and Missus are planning a "skiing" trip to Switzerland for three weeks! Right? I don't think so!
We'll just see what they look like when they come back!
Thanks for stopping by tonight! Hope this wasn't a huge waste of your time! But this is what's going on in my world right now!

I'm new to your blog and enjoy it immensely!
ReplyDeleteHi Finn!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that nice comment, and welcome!
Andrew
Dear Andrew
ReplyDeleteYour blog has been very entertaining and I have been reading all the post and even though I would love to comment on every single one of them I can't find the time. Butler School starts Monday and the list of things to do is endless! Shave, black shoes and socks, suit fittings etc.
Don't know how you do it but keep up the good writing, the information and knowledge you pass on does not go unnoticed.
Kindest Regards
Joey
Hi, Joey!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you that your studies are about to begin! Butler Schools are tough -- often referred to as military boot camps! But the infusion of knowledge is awesome!
And when the frustrations set in, just remember your goals!
Upon graduation, Joey, you are NOT limited to Private Service! Your newly-acquired skills are needed in Resorts, Luxury Hotels, Casinos, Cruise Ships and Retirement Communities around the world.
Best of luck! And please do keep us posted! The first test you pass with 100% precision, you can shout it out, right here!

You're horrible, Andrew. And funny. I really needed a laugh tonight! Thanks for that. Melinda in Perth
ReplyDeleteOn the subject of beauty, today I read a fairly recent article on cosmetic surgery (http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=WIV68S9CG2E&preview=article&linkid=970128b3-c8a3-4faa-a61f-4629c4472008&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d) which highlights in graphic detail the perils of such body alterations. Anyway, I found it an engrossing read, and thought you might appreciate a peak too. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteTo Media Mentions:
ReplyDeleteAlthough this seems like a spam comment, my editors let it through because it seems sincere in wanting to share cautionary advice.
You're so right! There can be horrible consequences in this field of plastic surgery. But that news doesn't get out, does it?
Thanks for sharing this.
Andrew
To Melinda in Perth!
ReplyDeleteYou just gave me a good laugh, too!
Thanks so much for reading! Please feel free to stop by here anytime!

Permanent smile. That's creepy, in a Heather Ledger sort of way. I peeked at that link from Media Mentions. That's waaay more creepy - a bunch of ambulance chasers suing a bunch of back-alley butchers on behalf of a bunch of hapless patients.
ReplyDeleteMaybe folks should try Wd-40 first? LOL
Cheers,
Mitch
Hi Mitch!
DeleteI don't know about you, but what's wrong with growing old gracefully, as heaven intended? Ha!
This search for youth is absolute maddness!!! And the disasters are legion!
How many young people die at an early age -- way before their time?
Age is a gift!
From God!
And that people fight it so hard really gets under my skin -- like Botox, I guess! Ha!
Andrew
appreciation for the functional associations. I've been looking for all of these a extended occasion ago. My surgeons provided me a quantity of info about MHRA and too plastica surgery tips, that's why I'm incredibly thrilled to be familiar with.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Nathalie
Thanks for visiting, Nathalie, and for sharing that.
