That's Show Business

Friday November 9, 2012

So all this time Evan has been running a talent poaching scam for the Windwood Agency, the most prestigious agency in New York! Huh. Why didn't Skyler just go there first? I mean, how did Margo get her in the first place? How is she getting any business? Did she just hang a "PR for Sale" sign out the window and watch the big-idea-tiny-talents flock to her?

Margo is Going to Drop You

Margo is going to drop you, Skyler. She's going to drop you like a sack of hammers.

Evan's hardly even being sneaky, because Margo has so little regard for her clients that she probably would've dropped Skyler just for having Lu Ann's haircut. What is Skyler even upset about? Did she even meet Margo once? If she's going to be Candy Sweet (which, by the way, what? are Westerns finally coming back?), she can probably do better than Margo "I'm bored with the gallery, I bet I'd be a great publicist!" Magee.

How to Succeed At Business Without Really Trying

Have you seen how I've been running this business?  Clients are people that I speak of with complete and utter disdain and whom I do no ostensible public relations work for.  Did I mention that this business is a sham set up for tax purposes?  I thought I'd decorate it, hire some fake people, and show up every day because I really don't have much else to do.  Have you heard of the Mills Gallery lately?  No?  I didn't think so because I buried that place deeper than Eric Mills in a Nepalese avalanche.

Losing Her Business

Gah--Margo!!? That last kiss transformed her into some kind of old maid. I mean... that collar. What is up. Her new identity makes it all the sadder that her business is getting swindled by this handsome, plastic-y young man. She's all, "Hey whippersnapper, I'm so great at PR that the business is taking care of itself! How about some cucumber sandwiches and milk?" and he's all "Sorry, I'm busy with this manila folder, then I have to have lunch with this beautiful starlet who's not going to be our client anymore. And when I say our, I mean your."

Hyperextension

The magic is starting to fade Evan, this kiss didn't even bathe you in a warm glow.  On the plus side, you're probably going to have give Margo another massage for the uncomfortable hyperextended position that her neck is in.  Warm up your massage finger.

Temple Massage

Ah, what a week, what a week. Sandy has not been kind to us in New Jersey, although my family has been extremely fortunate to avoid any injury or property damage. Not everyone in our area has been so lucky. And New York... ah, New York. Well, sometimes a little humor is the best medicine, right? Let's see what that nut job Evan is up to.

What a nut. This dude hasn't disappointed yet. He must be Margaret Shulock's version of disaster relief, and god bless her. I bet she even wrote little liner notes to Frank Bolle like "make him look like a plastic Mr. Rogers" and "tell the coloring drones to always coordinate his hair and jacket." Shall I give you one of my famous one-finger massages? Margo of course is not up for Evan's positive tude, and I LOVE the desperately tired and withering look she's giving Evan. If there was a third panel, I think we'd see Evan's finger shrivel up and bend backwards.

For Real

You can't really blame Evan for being a little sneaky here. First of all, it appears he's sleep-talking, so I think that makes it OK. Also, Margo would probably destroy Skyler's career out of spite, since, as we've established, she's not a very good publicist, and she is also extremely jealous. And that's why we love her.

PS, I'd like to take this time to give a shout out to my peeps on the east coast. I was entirely unaffected by Sandy, being 3000 miles away, so I had no excuse for lagging on the blog. But, I'm glad you girls are safe!
