Desperate Housewives aprons?

[Miss Mary]

I saw several plastic (for lack of a better description) aprons on sale in a trendy, eclectic shop today. Advertising they were the very same ones seen on Desperate Housewives.

Who would wear these for real? They're stiff!!! Sure the prints are neat but it would be like cooking in a raincoat!

Sooooo.....my fellow S2K TV Show Buffs (Brent, Duckie, et all), does Bree wear these?

They also offered rubber gardening gloves, with rubber ruffles in prints, that went up to your elbow. I showed these items to my daughters and boy did their eyebrows shoot up! They said they were definitely not me....(lots of my T's have stains on them!).

I've seen Bree wear one(many times)... but without knowing what it looks like I can't compare.

Bree? My precious little Bree in a PLASTIC apron?? The woman who prepares "cuisine?" Obviously it has its practical applications but I just do not think she'd be a fan of a plastic apron. Wouldn't it warp when she opens the oven?

[Miss Mary]

Exactly! When I first saw the sign, I thought cool, aprons like Bree wears. Then I touched them - ewwww. The plastic fabric completely turned me off. Useless really. You're right Duckie, if you got too close to the oven, they'd melt!

It was just one of those marketing things that would go on display in your kitchen but never get used, I suspect.

Another moneymaker you ask yourself - now why didn't I think of that? I always ask myself this question when we eat Dippin' Dots! Such a simple concept and that person has to be rich-rich today.

For years...well, okay, for the past 10 years since I first got a VCR after ER began running, I've wished someone could come up with a way to "call" your VCR on the phone and program it. Of course now, we have DVR's also and many people have their phone lines connected to them (for pay-per-view and paying the bill, etc). So, you'd think there'd be some way to make the phone talk back to the DVR if the DVR can "talk" through the phone, right? Does that make sense? It's just that there are times when I wish I could just call and make it start recording something (like when the news broke on 9/11 or when I forget to set it to record something and I'm not going to be home in time).

Did ya happen to get my subtle, paraphrased Bree quote in my previous post?

[Brent]

Andrew: Do you always have to prepare "cuisine", can't we just have food?"

...so and so's mom comes home... heats up a can of pork and beans and they are eating. YOU'D RATHER I SERVE PORK AND BEANS???!!!

and then "Rex, as the leader of the household I'd appreciate you saying something"

Rex "Pass the salt"

Actually, there was another one too, Brent. More of a full sentence said by Bree...but altered just a bit by me.

Shawn - are we related somehow? I do think sometimes you are a long lost cousin or something.....LOL

I have said the same exact thing for years - why can't we program a VCR over the phone? I'd be at work and realize I either forgot to program a show and/or turn OFF the VCR! I missed one or two first run Dallas episodes this way! Frustrating.....

Now we have the DVR. It doesn't need to be turned off. Yeah. And all you need to do is program the darn thing. You can search for one show and it will record all that are aired - first run and reruns. We just delete the reruns if we've seen them before. This way you catch them all.

Wonder what will be next after a DVR? I can't imagine. But I am getting the hang out of this DVR thang.....LOL

PS - back to Bree....I think it would be funny for one show to see her character flip out. Become sloppy for one week. Like Rosanne! Serve those Beans out of a can - gasp. Or eat off melame plates! Oh my.....all her neighbors would be alarmed, this isn't the Bree we know.....maybe losing Rex will affect her afterall. But I still say he isn't dead. I will be saying that all summer and long into the season start. Even if we see a funeral, I will need to see his body in a casket to be sure.
