THE
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Engagement season has descended upon the female age
bracket of 26-34 like Kirstie Alley at an all you can eat buffet (which is
perfectly ok because we would be right behind her in the biscuit line.)
Speaking of, two of Splendora's swingin' employees recently got betrothed
thus forcing them into a year of wedding planning servitude while seated
at desks less than 2 feet apart (cue "Dueling Banjos.") While we whittle
their waists and try to perfect the swanlike look as to appear as a
Paltrow-esqe apparition on our wedding day(s), we were not surprised to
find out that our favorite sophisticated lady GP was chosen as the
spokesperson for a line of sparklers from diamonder Damiani. But, the
interesting part of this endorsement is that Paltrow's ex-fiancee Brad
Pitt is also a spokesperson-designer for Damiani's D-Side line. Clearly,
the ex-fiancee moratoriaum has been lifted by Chris and
Jen.
