I’ve given this blog entry a
great deal of thought… and decided to go ahead with it!
It happened, there’s no point
pretending it didn’t, and let’s face it, it’s very funny indeed.
For those of you who saw the show
the other day, you’ve probably already guessed what I’m talking about. For any readers who still don’t have a clue,
let me tell you about the time the lovely Jenny Cleary and I had our Frou Frou
Moment!
We were on air, innocently going
about our business, when we featured a new die, and a picture of it popped onto
the screen.
It’s a die that basically is a
rather elegant young lady wearing a summery dress and high heels. It’s a beautiful die that has the usual
Tattered Lace snippability – for instance you can cut into the design and use
the dress as an embellishment, or create a two-toned dress with lots of cut out
pieces if that’s more to your taste.
Well worth having…
Here's the lady who caused all the trouble! |
The unfortunate thing (well,
unfortunate for Jenny and I) was the actual name of the die… it’s called Frou
Frou.
At this point I’d better explain
to those readers who don’t know… The phrase ‘frou frou’ (pronounced to rhyme
with ‘shoe-shoe’) means many things, chiefly among all the definitions is “something
which is very frilly”.
However in certain parts of
Britain, ‘frou frou’ is a pet name for… erm, that most private of all ladies’
areas. If you see what I mean.
So when Jenny saw the name of the
die she couldn’t believe it, and dissolved into helpless fits of laughter. I’ve
never seen or heard her laugh as much as this.
And this was happening live on air!!!
“Who made that name up?” Jenny
asks, and you can hear in the background laughter coming from the crew. Jenny
was laughing so hard she couldn’t speak, so I tried to say a little about the
qualities of the die but didn’t get very far as I found Jenny’s laugh far too
infectious and I couldn’t keep it together either, especially when Jenny
collapsed into hysterics, started thumping the table, and grabbed my arm, snorting
loudly! I was giggling so much I could
hardly breathe and both of us had tears of laughter. Neither of us could string a sentence
together! Someone in the gallery thought it would be a good idea to move away
from the die that was causing so much merriment and show instead a picture of
some glue and applicators, but we were laughing so hard, as were the crew, that
no one could say anything about the glue – or anything at all really.
In case you missed it, below is
the link to the video. I apologise for
the low quality of the video – it was taken on a mobile phone from the TV – but
although it’s low quality, I think it will still make you smile!
