I ...Scrangie--that's what I thought at first, too. I was convinced that it must have been some legitimate article of clothing that I wasn't WASPy enough to know about. But a lengthy and rigorous Google search reveals that this nail polish is the primary hit, and that the only actual articles of related clothing are (1) some hideous shirt Venus (?) Williams wore once and called a corset, and (2) actual tennis corsets that masochistic women wore a hundred years ago, as well as even worse ideas like bathing corsets!Panderbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498790603442505386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863017149266320328.post-29363111786900999582009-04-15T16:04:00.000-04:002009-04-15T16:04:00.000-04:00I have always wondered about this name.

I like a lot of Essie's names, but this is just puzzling coming from someone who named a nail polish "After Sex" (changed to "After Six" in the uptight Southern market).<br /><br />Essie, quit your haunting, or we will shuffle ball-change you all the way back to Vegas!<br /><br />P.S. Do you think there is a way of combining the elegance of a hurkie with the razzmatazz of a shuffle ball-change?Panderbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02498790603442505386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863017149266320328.post-35729574372024862632009-04-15T14:14:00.000-04:002009-04-15T14:14:00.000-04:00Hi, just me again.

Too bad there wasn't a fainting couch handy. <br /><br />This Victorianesque name choice is especially perplexing given that <A HREF="http://www.essie.com/about/essie_bio.php" REL="nofollow"> Essie apparently started by business by heading over to Las Vegas and "peddling" her polish</A>, non?
