Boulder and the Beautiful

You can make up your own outfits on this Web site, www.polyvore.com. It’s like playing dress-up with dolls on the computer, without the dolls.

Here’s my latest concoction.

Attractive Girls Union Refuses To Enter Into Talks With Mike Greenman

Confession: I have no idea how to say the name of this store: Bebe.
Every time I say it, I feel really stupid. I feel presumptuous and silly, like a middle-school theater student trying to fake a British accent.
Bee-bee? Baybay? Baby? Bi-bi? Beeb?
Needless to say, when I got this e-mail today, I nearly went into convulsions.

Subject: bebe, BEBE SPORT, & 2b bebe: 25% off Friends & Family Event

How many times can you say this most awkward of all words in one sentence?
Regardless of my speaking disabilities, the e-mail content was pretty “sick” (That’s what all the hip youths say these days… I think.)

I’m broke, you’re broke, we’re all broke.
As it turns out, I am quite the scavenger. You might call me a hunter. Wily and agile. And I plan on fighting my way through this recession/depression/hype/natural economic cycle/End Times/whatever.

That’s why I have started a new feature. I will start sharing with you the good deals I spot. Do I want to share these secrets with you? Why, of course. You’re good enough, smart enough, broke enough and doggone it, you keep me employed.

So here’s what I can offer you today, fair friends.

What: “Beautiful Party.”
Cost: No cover. 21 and up.
Why this is cool: Ladies, come get pampered! Free beauty care, including cheek and lip enhancements, airbrush tanning and a make-up artist.  $5 champagne specials.
When: This Saturday.
Where: Wish Nightclub, 511 W. Colfax (Colfax and Glenarm), in Denver.
Info: www.wish-nightclub.com. Presented by Lagunes Communications Strategy Group.

A two-part question.

Part one: If your new boss looks exactly like Conan O’Brien, at what point is it appropriate to tell him?

Things to consider: Lack of knowledge about his sense of humor; Halloween costumes; possibly unleashing a wild torrent of humor that may completely dishevel the entire office; the fact that he might already know this and be either very proud of this, or very annoyed by it; the liklihood that if you wait it out and get to know him better, he won’t really look like Conan anymore; live late-night entertainment; a tabloid scoop about Conan’s “day job.”  

Part two: What is the most appropriate way to express this pent-up fact?
A. Throw it into the conversation. “Sure, I can get that done by Thursday good show last night and I will get those photos assigned, too.”
B. Via e-mail, such as “Hey Conan, so here are those TPS reports…”
C. Via e-card, such as one that says, “You look exactly like Conan.” I crafted a brilliant one on someecards.com but they have that site fancied up so I can’t figure out how to post it here.
D. Casually send him this blog. If he doesn’t think it’s funny, be like, “What? Gosh, wait, what, oh you thought I was talking YOU? Oh my gosh, NOOOO, of course not, gee. I was talking about … my friend told me she has this boss who… ha, yeah, funny that you would even think I meant you, because, duh, obviously, you don’t at all, you’re totally more like David Letterman…? NO, I mean Jay… no? No. You’re right. I should go home now.”

I think I’m going with D.
Wish me and my holiday bonus (or soon-to-be retracted bonus) luck.

And on that note, let it be known that I think Conan is REALLY, REALLY GOOD LOOKING, but in a completely professional and respectable way.
