Neither Venus nor I have ever had a lot of money. I can't speak for Venus exactly but I've perfected the art of living hand-to-mouth and month-by-month. Both of us have a bit of a love-hate relationship with currency (who doesn't?) so "Money" seemed a likely topic for this episode.
Sadly, the program began with tragedy: the gorgeous Ashley, originally scheduled to appear, needed to cancel in order to attend a show at Werx in Hamilton. Since I was going to donate $23 to the "Make a Little Kid Happy" fund (which I just invented), I'd like Ashley to know that next time she sees a sad child without $23 worth of toys and games, it might be because of her. But we love you anyway, darlin'!
What did we conclude in regards to money? I would like a sugar daddy, but Venus says "no" to such things. I didn't mention this on the air but I've always wanted to have my own richie-rich caravan: my (absolutely devoted and contented) servants would clear out the stores for me before I went inside, and they'd take my peacocks out for a walk if I didn't feel like walking them that day. I aim for a ridiculously conspicuous sort of aristocracy that you just don't see anymore, and woe to the sad peon who tries to cut off my head! Shoo shoo, ya peasant.
Sadly, in order to achieve this sort of thing you need money, which I've already said I don't really have. Also, my conscience might get in the way.
On this particular night we were back to our old favourite She-Devils drink, the "vodka & soda," which is quick to mix and tastes like the bottom of a car. We played lots of songs and imparted lots of questionable wisdom. Don't you wish you were there?
