Flamboyant celebs compare notes on past loves

Kibitzers are wondering why Effervescent Dilettante and Lionized Jouster became fast friends.

The pair couldn’t be more different. But it seems they bonded over their “romantic” adventures and misadventures.

They became close, comparing notes and chatting about the many men who had gone in and out of their door.

And ED is quite prodigious and prolific. ED counts some of the most handsome (and unattainable) hunks as past conquests.

LJ is loyal to present lover, but once had a storied love life, too.

Scarred and scared

This one is no laughing matter.

Humble Personality got traumatized working with Industry Veterans.

Turned out the IVs’ exacting demands left HP scared and scarred for life.

It was so bad that HP ended up consulting a mental-health professional.

Hopefully, HP would be able to bounce back from this debilitating experience. After all, there will surely be kinder, gentler and more appreciative bosses out there.

Spirit breakers

It was not the first time that IVs got entangled in such a sticky situation.

Every time newcomers work with IVs, they emerge from the encounter with rather grim realizations.

IVs habitually break the spirit of every neophyte who is naïve enough to venture near their fiefdom.

The first time Self-styled Genius collaborated with IVs was a catastrophe, as well. IVs mangled SG’s massive ego beyond recognition.

Still, SG survived and managed to reunite with IVs in other projects.

Echo chamber

Not a few observers got turned off by the immature way Scandalous Lass and Sassy Interloper had handled a minor controversy.

It hardly came as a surprise that SI would be the first to aid SL when the sh*t hit the fan, but why should childish behavior be tolerated?

An insider reports that SI and SL tend to bring out the worst in each other.

That’s what happens when you are trapped in an echo chamber. You can only hear each other’s opinions and no one else’s.

Researcher of the year

From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:

Ravishing Hottie has a fool-proof strategy in hooking Mr. Right.

RH would befriend the guy’s current partner. Once they are extra chummy, RH would ask about the man’s favorites: food, perfume, music, movies, hobbies…

Once RH has built a dossier on the target, the poor rival’s fate is sealed. It is only a matter of time before RH makes the big move and wins the heart of the pal’s sweetheart.

After all, RH knows the beau, inside and out.

RH should really work in Research and Development.
