What's My Line?

[gatso]

it's got something to do with the dead cowboy hasn't it? he does corpse make up

[TightEnd]

how does this sort of stuff survive the recession?

This, Rich, is a world apart, a world totally immune from reality, a whole world within a world.

Dingdell?

or the clinic?

[tikay]

He was just fine when he arrived.

Ah well, who's next?

I was offered this treatment, but like any good journo, made my excuse & departed post haste.

[Laxie]

The towel 'lines' say he doesn't seem to mind being there.

For a small sum of money - less than £200 I believe - this lady will input your hand vibes into her sophisticated software programme, & it compares your electrical resistance to 15 zillion "normal" people, & it can tell you anything & everything about your bodily health. For instance, if you've got a broken leg, or have cut yourself shaving. It works on men, too.

Were people actually paying as they went that night or was it sort of a comp gig?

PS  Asked my kids to have a guess and they chose the following

16 year old said, "Day time burglar" - he'd be wearing a black suit if he were a night time burglar. 
13 year old said, "Hannibal" - he looks a bit freaky.
11 year old said, "Hairdresser" - it's obvious mom.

Oh no, it was an "Open Day", & was free to enter, though I expect one had to pay for specific "treatments".

Did you know you could have eyebrow extensions, in the manner of hair extensions? You lay down, & a woman grafts on individual eyebrow extensions, one hair at a time? You can have one eye done at a certain price, but it works out cheaper to have both done. People actually think eyebrows are visully important! I was with a young lady for 7 years, (going back a while now) & never even knew what colour her eyes were! Mind you, she dumped me when she realised that. She had the most splendidly constructed breast formation though, which I had noticed, but she never took that into consideration when I used it in mitigation.

The man laying on the bed was having his face stretched. It removes wrinkles & ageing, & everyone who appears on TV has it done, so I'm told. Not everyone, be assured, my face is as Nature intended, with a possible built-in misread.

Rumour has it that Carol Vordemann had this face-stretching treatment so often that you could pitch a tent in either nostril, though I suspect there's some embellishment in that.

It was the most fascinating exercise in people-watching. It's easy to mock & sneer & be cynical, but imagine how they view people who effectively set fire to pound notes, as poker players routinely do.

Each to their own, eh?

Now, shall I have my eyebrows lengthened?

[Laxie]

You sure you're not getting eyebrows and eye lashes mixed up?

[Kev B]

Plastic surgeon/laser hair removal type of bloke.

[Rookie (Rodney)]

Does he show people how to pose for a picture?

[Dingdell]

Yes he is....sigh.....and I explained it to him more than once....

I have to say though he did very well bearing in mind Tikay was completely out of his comfort zone at this event! Although when he thought we had killed a client and we were laying him out, when in fact he was just having a facial it was a tad embarrasing....but I guess it was just payback for my Blonde posts!
