Thunder. Enter the three Bitches.
First Bitch
Thrice I've backstabbed my best friend.
Second Bitch
Thrice and once today I've whined.
Third Bitch
I am SO bored--'Tis time, 'tis time.
First Bitch
Round about the bottle go;
Add like, whatever, I don't know.
Eye of newt; some blood of ducks;
That should be good for sixteen bucks.
Looks kind of dirty, but don't panic;
Charge extra--call the brand organic.
ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Second Bitch
The bottle's full of our creation,
No more room for punctuation;
Forget the tired, trite, possessive,
"Bitches Brew"'s much more expressive.
We brew a lot besides just potions:
Moisturizers, perfumes, lotions.
You know it takes more than a wand
To get Three's tacky cauldron-blonde.
ALL
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Third Bitch
So anyway, that lame Macbeth,
Let's bring him to an early death.
He's so not hunky, and that wife!
Your hands are clean--please get a life!
After we've got him in our thrall
We'll head out to the nearest mall.
My jeans have been untimely ripp'd,
And for Bitch One, I've got a reason:
Your black cat is SO last season.
Bitch Two, you'll never catch a thane
Til Birnam wood reach Dunsinane.


That color does look like it has blood of ducks. Black cats are SO last season, ducks are fetch now. QUACK.

JC, I want to tell you to stop trying to make fetch happen, but I think you just did!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I heard Ink just glued some feathers on her black cat to try to fit in, pass it on.
I love it!!! :D
ReplyDeleteGlad that you're back and in such fine fettle, Pander. Keep brewing your potions!
ReplyDeleteYou have a fantastic sense of humor! Keep writing, please :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, YEAH for duck blood!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaa!
ReplyDeleteI beg to differ on this one. Bitches Brew is a Miles Davis album, which I think makes this a pretty cool name (for an insanely overpriced polish).
ReplyDeleteAnd so LITERARY! I am so glad I am acknowledging you in my book AND THEN THINGS FALL APART!!
ReplyDelete<3
ReplyDeleteTee hee hee!
ReplyDeleteAnd I knew we could make fetch happen! Woohoo!
I missed you! This is hilarious! Hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteHiliarious post!

this made me laugh so hard =D
ReplyDeleteFetch still does not, will not, is not. Even for dear jc. Nope, no, uh-uh.
ReplyDeletePander, I love the category "save some sexism for the next season of Mad Men." Brilliant and hilarious.
Damn, this color took a lot of creative work, Pander. That's almost the whole first scene, no? Nicely done.
Just found your blog via Jezebel!
ReplyDeleteLove this whole concept!
I post pics of my pedicures, mainly for the designs the nail technicians do..but sometimes those polish names get to me!
Great job!
Great Miles Davis album! Fine name for a nail polish.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me laugh, given that joyous AP English 12 has forced me into reading every Shakespearean work known to English teacher and Macbeth being the second most-hated on my list.
ReplyDeleteHilarious
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Haha, I love Macbeth, and I love the scene with the witches. Brilliant.~

Hope everything's ok there Pander.
Herkies,
jc
Pander? Where'd ya go? Missing you. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteHugs and herkies to you.
Ink and jc, I miss you guys too! (Did you see the question on Jeopardy a little while ago about herkies? We were so better qualified to answer it than they were.) I am perfectly fine but have been a little on the busy and stressed side regarding my employment situation (or lack thereof). But I will try to make some time to blog in the near future!
ReplyDeleteOk. You take care of you.
ReplyDeleteHugs, jc
I figured Pander was just waiting for a polish that referenced either Beckett or Marlowe before she posted again.
ReplyDeleteHope the job sitch resolves in whatever way you want it to.
when I first saw a review of this nail polish, I wondered if the reviewer was the one who forgot the apostrophe, or if the name was actually "Bitches Brew." smh
ReplyDeleteyour blog is, to me, a magical, satirized study of nail lacquer etymology (with consistent use of proper grammar!) i LOVE it.
