Ditching the platform sandals would help.
ReplyDeleteLX: Let’s have another look at that photo of Norma of yesteryear, shall we?
Deletei bemoan the fact those were thrown out.
Deletethey were fabulous.
Although Norma is a large woman, it's the pictures that got small...
ReplyDeleteAYEM8Y: Ha!
Deletemax...MAX!
DeleteAll the tittilating banter from Norma's fitting room escapades got my attention...
ReplyDeleteThe quotes fom the fitters were pearls...
" Were gonna need the extra heavy duty elasticised gusset here" (Pg 72) and... "I've never met a bust I couldn't fit... But... You could well be my first Norma... Will someone pass me the industrial sized measuring tape?... Ladies, we have our first real woman..."(Pg 75)
"Can someone contact "Mr Barnum" and see if he can send over a spare?..."(pg 76)
It's such a good read... I laughed and laughed... Oops.. I think I pee'd a little...
publisher's weekly almost said,
ReplyDelete"where her mirth ends, her girth begins"

ReplyDeleteI loved the chapter where her bustier exploded in the White House and the Secret Service thought it was a bomb.
ReplyDeleteplease, the secret service heard
Deletemamie fart & thought it was a bomb.

obviously, cookie reads far too much.
DeleteDisgusting. Totally disgusting. We must burn all copies of this abomination!
ReplyDeletegoose-stepping@infomaniac?
DeleteI thought the events that occurred around the time of her 78th Birthday were quite tragic. I see Norma with new eyes and will forever more think of her with the greatest esteem.

78?
Deleteyou're hysterical scarlet, hysterical.
'"It was like the Hindenburg," gasped a distraught Ivar Haglund as he mourned the loss of his famous fish bar. "That last order was too much for the Fry-o-Lator and the whole place went up in a ball of flames!" Meanwhile Norma, resplendent in a Texas-sized sable, sauntered slowly away from the scene, plucking a fried clam from the bucket she held and slipping it between her scarlet lips.'
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not sure what I mean by this either.
Couldn't put it down? kabuki couldn't pick it up. Even in paperback this tome weighs as much as a buick
ReplyDeleteWho will play Norma in the movie?
ReplyDeleteIs George Lindsay available?
DeletePity Ena Sharples isn't around for the part.
ReplyDeleteSx
....so my vote goes to Joan Collins.
DeleteSx
Please...not Norma... She just doesn't seem right for the part... Is Shelly Winters available for a posthumous role?
ReplyDeleteWhat’s Gabourey Sidibe up to these days?
