My niece recently wrote a post on Douchebag Dads. It’s a
nice skewering of those fuckers who are paid lots of money and act like a bunch
of privileged pricks. I deal with a lot
of DDs. How do they play golf on Tuesdays? They’re salesmen. Those motherfuckers
get paid oodles of cash for taking clients out to "dinner" which usually
involves at least one girl named Montage and one named Cherry.
But I digress.
A Daily Dose of Nastiness |
The Princess mom drives a gigantic, expensive SUV, usually a Land Rover or a Suburban while texting her “gurlz” about their upcoming Wine Night with one hand and sipping her Venti decaf soy five-pump raspberry no-whip extra horseshit mocha from Starbucks with the other. She doesn’t pay attention to the kids in the backseat, she just pops in a DVD of whatever cultural ratshit the kids are into these days because she can’t be bothered to interact with them. That is if she doesn’t have a nanny. Besides, mommy has to talk to her gurlz (not her silicone funbags) about their upcoming trip to Cancun and where they can score some weed so they can party like they did at ASU.
Her skin is always a golden hue as if she just returned from
Acapulco and her lips are plumped up like a kosher hot dog. She gets “push
presents” for popping out the kids and is probably munching the rug of the next
door neighbor’s wife or blowing the hot looking guy that cleans her pool. She wears WAY too much jewelry and spends her
time at the tennis club/gym/pilates studio/yoga farm/gyrotronics chamber trying
to stay in shape for a husband who is always “at the office.” She goes to Whole
Foods to make it look as if she knows how to cook. Goodness knows she doesn’t eat.
She needs to stay in shape for her fuckstick husband and to keep her monthly “upkeep
allowance” for Botox and Juvederm. Besides she just bought a pair of $500 bedazzled
True Religion jeans at Nieman’s to show off her waxed and vajazzled lady cave.
Anyway, her trainer is ripped and HOT and any time spent away from the kids is a
good time. She wishes her husband looked like Ramon at the gym rather than a balding
khaki–clad Jim Belushi.
The Princess Mom annoys the shit out of me by using the word
gift as a verb and saying a-MAH-zing
while they discuss how smart their brain damaged, smack-addled progeny are, or
how much it costs each year for said offspring to attend private school, at
which both will have their first gay experience. She hasn’t worked a real job since
she got out of college, knows all the best plastic surgeons and debates endlessly
about shoes, bolt-on breasts, her tennis coach, her frenemies and
cupcakes/macarons/whatever food fad is going at that day. She keeps Xanax in a
PEZ dispenser, and likes to wash them down with swigs of box-aged Chardonnay she buys at Costsco by the pallet. She
keeps it in her eco-friendly aluminum water bottle she bought at REI.
She know as some point her looks will fade and her husband
will dump her for another woman, but by then, the kids will be grow. But that’s
okay. She’ll take him for half of everything, be sad for about a year, and then
hook up with Ramon.
I like it....sounds a lot like some people I have known in my life. Unfortunately, it is the role model that popular culture (read: television) promotes today. You forgot to mention that she probably has a college degree but can't help her first grader with his spelling words...or figure the 15% tip without a calculator....or, God forbid, her glasses.
ReplyDeleteWell ranted little brother.
Whoa a comment from Greg? I never get a comment from Greg. You must be his favorite child.
ReplyDeleteIf he tells me on his deathbed the I am his, i'll freak. And then say Aha!
ReplyDeleteOMG you know people I know! LOL I was working on a case brief for class one day and ventured into a dreaded starbucks for the free wifi..... dear heavens, ONLY 2 shots in a venti? Seriously? and you want how much? Free Wifi my foot! I relunctantly forked over the dough, but not without voicing my dismay at the corporate greed here in the land of coffee and sat down to study.... I couldn't, the entertainment was too rich, that I felt choked. I mean it was like I was stuck in knots landing meets real housewives or something. Now I should blog about that! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs.
I worked for the evil mermaid for about year when I was between jobs. The drink in my post was an actual drink, sans horseshit, that a woman ordered every day. The place was always busier than hell and the people were NASTY to us. It's funny though how Starbucks culture is the same all across the land, we served many a Stepford wife and bitchy mom who wanted organic milk for their annoying eaters. I like the Knots Landing reference, haven't thought about that show in years.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm not a princess mom. I don't drink coffee, I haven't bought anything that cost $500 since I got my car 10 years ago and I don't have a trainer. I just wait for the UPS man to come to me! Maybe I'm the lazy version of the PM.
ReplyDeleteI sleep with the UPS man because I am a princess.He pays me for it and delivers my packages.
