Topic: planet Miss O
Where in the world has Miss O been?!
Bonjour et Gutentag Darlings! About six weeks ago, Miss O was a guest of SwissAir - one of the perks being a layover in Zurich where there is a shop called Caviar House. J'accepte! I'm pretty sure there's no Caviar House in say, Philly or Cleveland...the best you're going to do there is, maybe, a Cinnabon. The other perk: they give you chocolate on the plane. And not some rubbish chocolate either. This is the good stuff, pure, uncut.
It's not often that I pass through the country of my birth, but the timing of this visit seemed appropriate. It was the Eve of O (that is, the night before the Day of O. Really, Darlings, I know you've heard of it.) What, you didn't know that Miss O was born in der Schweiz? To be more accurate, I was birthed en Suisse - that is, on the French side. Darlings, a creature like Miss O cannot be hatched just anywhere. Lourdes, non!
Once upon a time, approximately 26 years ago (why are you laughing?), the Mothership and the Notorious D.A.D. found themselves with une Petite O en route. Realizing that her arrival on this planet would have cosmic ramifications, they pondered the audience and location for the 'debut appearance'. The city of Bethlehem was hosting a convention, and there was still no damn room at the Inn. So they chose the next best venue: Geneva. As the executive producer of the event, they selected a man with a proven record of blockbuster hits: the renowned doctor who had delivered Sophia Loren's children. Honestly, Darlings, you can't be surprised. The Ondine was born and the rest is history...
While perusing the extensive truffle selection at ZRH (that's the airport code for Zürich-Kloten, Lieblings), I reflected on the past year and wondered what new adventures the Universe had in store for me. (I, also, wondered how many kilos of cocoa I could legally transport without violating the Fourth Geneva Convention. Welcome to my world.) Well, Darlings, I could not have imagined the joy and good fortune that was coming my way. Besides being très delinquent in my posting, all is marvelous on Planet Miss O.
Happy New Year to all! Stay tuned for: the Return of Bridezilla, 2007 Review, Nose Patrol, and so many other scintillating entries!
