Why do realtwhores think we like to see their mugshots on everything?

HARM's ideal Realtwhore

I just got a calendar from the completely useless woman who pretended to be a buyer's agent when we bought our house. Every month has a cliche' landscape photograph - but whatever meager uplifting value this may have had is now ruined with an inset of the idiot realtwhore. This same pest has in the past sent utterly useless magnets plastered with her face, and a cheap and possibly toxic coffee mug in an attempt to generate repeat business and (gawd-help-me) referrals.

Why do realtors believe that a cheesy, touched-up perma-grin photograph has any sort of marketing value - especially when theirs is a face that launched a thousand quips ? If they really wanted their card to get your attention, shouldn't they instead photoshop a picture of Angelina Jolie (or Jake Gyllenhaal, depending on your... ah... persuasion)?

Feel free to comment and/or publish links to examples of this particular strain of vanity.

As mentioned on astrid's blog, I screwed up some veal. It is not something too easy. Your husband may be a "hidden" talented chef. ;)

BTW, my mom did not cook (my dad did) and now I cook more than my wife does.

There should be a "Veal is Real Good" campaign. :)

@DinOR,

This will get ugly and I am beginning to feel like George Bailey when Mr. Potter makes him the partnership offer during the panic.

This is doubly appropriate - after all, the Bailey S+L was all about mortgages for the "little guy," right? Was George Bailey the first subprime lender?????

New thread: Is healthcare a bigger problem than housing?

But dinner has to be fairly simple. It can be frustrating sometimes.

We should talk about simple-but-fancy recipes on astrid's blog! ;)
