Oh, dear readers. Oh, dear, dear readers. Vivienne is beginning to feel the ebb of NaPoWriMo’s tide. Vivienne is beginning to feel An Awful Lot Like Exhausted. And what happens when Vivienne feels An Awful Lot Like
Exhausted? For one, she turns to Zelda’s Prompts of Fashion, which is a wonderful thing, as the Prompts are Wonderfully Fashionable. For another, she turns to do strange things in her poems, such as odd confessions about pickled beets, or, in this case, parentheses and references to now-canceled television shows. So perhaps, dear reader, you should gaze at this photographs of Rupert Giles, who very well might be the love of my life, instead of reading the poem which follows.
And, Zelda, um, OMG yes, we should most definitely nominate both Madonna and Judy Blume for the Ultimate Diamond Heart Necklace Award. Here’s the question, though: Ann M. Martin? Is she fashionable enough? Remember Claudia’s collection of shoes! Her habit of wearing Most Fashionable Tights with Shorts!
Poem Guest-Starring Buffy and Boots
Sadly canceled without an appropriate ending, much like Buffy herself was. Le sigh. And let us await the film version …

I would have patterned myself after Mssrs. Giles and Wyndham-Pryce, but I find myself inadequately British. Stupid migratory ancestors. Stupid boats.
But for “brute/ brown tongues” you get a mailbox full of orange Tic-Tacs, the highest honor I am qualified to bestow.

“cleavage bra-created”? — Awesome!
“gym-break-snuck cigarette and Doctor / Pepper”? the line break? the fact that you spelled out “Doctor” so that it makes me think of 1950s cigarette ads when I read “cigarette and Doctor”? — Awesome brilliance!
the line breakage after “deep abandoned bowels”? — Awesome brilliance and light!

And orange Tic-Tacs? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

Stupid boats, agreed. I would’ve patterned myself after Buffy, but I found myself lacking in foxiness but overcompensating in sauce.
Orange Tic-Tacs! Huzzah! The best I can dream of!

Zelda, is it wrong that the EXACT SAME IDEA ABOUT THE DOCTORS AND CIGARETTES WAS IN MY MIND, TOO?
And is it also wrong that, when referring to myself in the third person in the poemlogue, I typed “Zelda” repeatedly?
Is it possible that we are merging into one fashionable superbeing / a superbeing of fashion?
