I suppose I'd never seen a photo of the young Helen Mirren,
so when I saw this one I was shocked.
I find it tough to see today's Helen in yesterday's picture.
LX did a bang up job of naming the old broad!
Bravo darling!

I'm considering parting gifts for one and all and this
is what's on my short list. You likey?
and it's "remarkably priced."
LX FINALLY WON SOMETHING!!!
ReplyDeleteI misread that as "Floral STENCH Watch."
Do I get bonus points for watching "Hitchcock" earlier this evening, starring Helen Mirren?
i know, isn't it simply glorious? i should bake a ding dong cake.
Deletemight not be a misread honey, i bet the watch has an aroma.
bonus points? yes. i think i saw it & i think i thought it was dreary.
"Elegance is not easy to define, but we recognize it the moment we see it."
ReplyDelete*continues looking*
while you're here Menachim Reagan, you'll
Deletenever cease looking, i assure you.
REALLY? I WON?
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible to get one of these instead? Uh, I'm asking for "a friend."
didn't you read the small print?
Deletesubstitutions are not allowed!
why "they" would want a crappy scarf
over this glamorous watch is beyond me.
"stretches to fit any wrist"
ReplyDeleteAre they insinuating I have a weight problem?
yes.
DeleteAt least I don't have your cankles!
Deletejust wait.
DeleteNice to learn that the watch will arrive in a "luxurious presentation case" and not in a stained brown paper back as usual ...
ReplyDeletemago, not everyone receives their mail like you do.
DeleteDoes the "Diabetes Smart" mention on top of the add means that the watch also takes your blood sugar level at any time?
ReplyDeletei'm thinking there's an electroplated
Deleteinsulin pump behind the "six."
I assume "18kt gold tone" is a Danbury Mint euphemism for "will turn your wrist green to match the peridot". Jx
ReplyDeletePS Dame Helen is excellent value, no matter what crappy film in which she appears (The Extravaganza of Golgotha Smuts, Hussy, The Quiz Kid, anyone?).
"The Extravaganza of Golgotha Smuts" - I really thought you invented this title, Jon, until I found that fillum on the web. It is not listed in her wikipedia entries.
DeleteAn unfeasible title, indeed. Jx
Deletejon, you've got danbury's number
DeleteAND are spot on about helen.
18K gold tone is kabuki's very favorite of the gold tones. A wise and elegant choice.
ReplyDeletethe goldtones....they were neighbors
Deleteof mine in scarsdale.
Helen Mirren, what's not to like???
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she would approve of the stretching quality of this lovely timepiece...
why not? she approved of the
Deletestretching quality of her face.
Thank goodness that DM is bankrupt. Shop at Tiffany, instead.
ReplyDeletebut tiffany doesn't sell collectables.
