News of an alarming nature

Thank you Brydie darling for attending my latest event. I knew you would enjoy the Gondola’s….so tawdry yet ideal for you. It was only a shame that Frankie couldn’t attend. On the other hand, you are soooooo lucky having Turbs to escort you the world over. Such a find !!!!!! Wasn’t he a treasure, keeping you warm as he did when your sweater accidentally went overboard. All under the moonlight, to the dulcet tones of the Pagliacci. You two simply looked like teenagers giggling as you were.

My dearest friends…. since writing the above I must acquaint you with the most alarming news. You will note by my return address that I am now writing from my New York penthouse. I am encamped here due to a situation of the most serious nature.

You will remember that my grown up adopted twins, Monte and Carlo were residing here in New York while studying with the NYBC, New York Ballet Company. Both of them had such promise as Danseur Noble. My arrival here, a little stop over on my way through to Rochelle’s’ party, was to be a great surprise. However it turns out that I am the one who has been surprised. Upon my arrival, Snowden has informed me that both boys have run off to join….....I can hardly write it....the CIRCUS

You must know how devastated I am….I am in shock.

I am SHOCK on SHOCK St.

Whatever will Madge say!!! Of course I cannot blame myself when quite clearly it is your fault Rochelle. You promised me you would watch over them in NY. But then in the very next breath you leaped into marrying that Nishtikeit and ran off down to the Gables.

All is not lost, however, Snowden will travel to Quebec to retrieve them and when they return, Jaremy and I shall start them on an intervention program. Who better to train 2 young rebels back into cultured society?

We should be able to keep this entire episode completely hushed up. I know I can depend on you both to keep the unhappy truth to yourselves.

In the meantime, however, I shall rally my spirits and attend your poolside party, Rochelle, where I am sure you will want to beg my forgiveness in person. Besides, I already have my Marc Jacobs asymmetrical gold lame mini dress and my specially made matching metallic turban packed in my Louis Vuitton steamer.

By the way, Matildah is also currently residing in NY while she workshopping at the acclaimed TVI actors studio to refine her acting skills. She is enrolled in “Soap Intensive” where her instructor informed her…and I quote…”Darlink, your pauses between each word are too too short. You will never be a proficient in day time drama if you continue to string your words together.” Needless to say she is shattered, and just between us, destitute also, having paid a small fortune for that pearl of wisdom. Don’t be alarmed when she greets you at Rochelle’s poolside party, that you also manage to greet the entire rest of the party grab a canapé and down your first Daiquiri all between the words Hello and Darling…She is practising her craft.

Must away, 5th Ave beckons
