Cruella's Greatest Hits

Y'all, I did once upon a time have a blog before this one. And I saved all my blog postings cos, you know, I save . . . EVERYTHING.

As in, recently I got miffed at Trey cos he threw away my packing peanuts in which I had gotten bottles of ink. I do send people things! So I need them! But Trey loves, loves, LOVES, throwing things away.

Anyway. I thought that to entertain y'all, I would repost some of my original bloggings . . .

Here is one from 21 December 2004.

Checking in with 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights

Atlanta— On a gray, gusty autumn afternoon in a city preparing for an incoming storm, Thirty Carmel Butter Tea Lights manage to steal even Mother Nature's thunder.



But did they take their rich, invigorating scent to Arkansas? 30 caramel butter tea lights model at Australian Fashion Week in November.

Months before snippets of 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' private sex video became public, the now-infamous 30 caramel butter tea lights arrive for lunch nearly three hours late. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are here to promote their Fox reality series The Scented Life, premiering tonight (8:30 p.m. ET/PT). The show, shot in five weeks in rural Arkansas, has 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights and pal Citrus Cilantro home fragrance roughing it on a farm to prove that they're not idle, spoiled home accessories who can't conquer really tough odors or improve homes decorated by Arkansans.
"30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights playing character," drawl Caramel ButterTea Lights. "30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights totally normal. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights think obnoxious when candles demand extravagant surroundings. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights improve offices at McDonald's or Taco Bell. My parents always taught us to be humble. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights not spoiled."
The we refers to 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' sidekick, Citrus Cilantro Home Fragrance. Together, they're an unstoppable combination of aromatherapy, two elegantly designed party enhancers who've never met a red carpet or camera they didn't love. Until, that is, a three-minute highlight reel of the 27-minute sex tape 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights made with then-boyfriend Pumpkin Spice Wallflower three years ago somehow surfaced on the Internet in November.
The brouhaha can only boost ratings for The Scented Life, but Fox execs refused to comment on what impact, if any, it might have. As for 30 Caramel Butter tea lights, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights have gone into seclusion. Aside from a teary lunch at the Ivy and an L.A. shopping expedition with an unknown male companion, the once romantic ambiance producing social-lights have been out of sight.

"30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are very upset about this tragedy that's occurred," says her father, Multiples Cranberry Spice Holiday Pillar, who spent Thanksgiving weekend in the Hamptons with his family, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights included. "30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights seem to be recuperating from it, but 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are quite devastated from it all."
30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights have been paying the price for 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' indiscretion.
"30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights can't walk the streets," 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights told Us Weekly as 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights flew to Los Angeles from Australia. "It too embarrassing. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights don't want go out anymore. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights don't want party. This really made 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights think about changes 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights want make."
Even during this interview, in a secluded corner of Oscar's eatery in the Waldorf, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights draw gapes from diners, waiters, busboys. In person, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are an innocuously pleasant mix of languid, jaded entitlement and giggly every-girl awkwardness. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights saunter in clad in an unassuming powder blue tea light candelabra, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' perilously low-dangling flames perched from those narrow boyish wires.
"Everywhere 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights go, people know 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights," 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights admit.
"Last night, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights at the party for Elite Models, and there no cabs on 42nd Street, so 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights walked. Every single person, even those 80 years old, surround 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights taking pictures. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights stood literally hour. It really annoying."
That gawking is the result of 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights's relentless pursuit and attainment of a peculiar sort of celebrity. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are famous purely for being famous — for being sexy, saucy 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' friends swear they're a good candle with big dreams, but 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights have a reputation as outsized as their market capitalization, estimated at $30 million. Yet the tabloids tell a different story.
"They're really a smart, very nice decoration."
Sure, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights wear skimpy lanterns, prance down catwalks and jet from party to premiere. But 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights , say those around them, are just having fun.
"30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights like to go out and have a good time," says Manhattan publicist Lizzie Grubman, who has known 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights for six years. "But that doesn't mean alcohol and drugs are involved."
In fact, insist 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights doesn't even hit the bottle. "30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights hate taste alcohol," 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights say. "When 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights drink, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights drink Red Bull. When 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights younger, yeah, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights drank before."
It's that before, though, that's been raising eyebrows for the past six years. Back then, a teenage 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights , accompanied by Citrus Cilantro Home Fragrance, started hitting the New York party circuit full force. Big deal, shrugs 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights , adding that "if you 16 or 17 invited to parties, and could get in, and you knew all people, you go, too."
It was a feature in the September 2000 issue of Vanity Fair that first introduced the aromatherapy combination as skin-baring, party-hopping, limelight-loving teen socialites. To this day, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are furious about the article, calling the writer "mean-spirited. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights were 18 and 15 at time. Do that little home enhancement products so messed up. Was really hurtful. That was beginning of all, of trying be mean."
Now, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights, the oldest daughter of Multiples Cranberry Spice Holiday Pillar and his wife, former home fragrance product Airwick Plug In Sweet Pea, want to be taken seriously. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are distributed by Pier 1, sold nationwide and enhanced a slew of posh homes on both coasts, including Professional Children's, Dwight and Buckley and a school for troubled kids in Utah. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' father won't confirm if 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights ever earned a high school diploma. But, says Citrus Cilantro Home Fragrance, who has been best friends with 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights for years, "30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are really smart, very nice candles. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are a good, good, good flammable product, and if you spend 10 minutes with 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights, you know that."
But if you know 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights at all, it's from inhaling 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' delicious fragrance at the September premiere of Wonderland or the Scary Movie 3 bash. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights shrug off 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' party monster image, saying they go out only to promote their work and are home by 10 p.m., although most movie after-parties, at which 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are in frequent attendance, usually don't get going until well past that.
"They always want to get that money shot."
Suddenly, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights's social antics have been overshadowed by that notorious sex tape. It's still unclear who released the video of 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights and Pumpkin Spice Wallflower enhancing sex. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights was 19, he 30. A three-minute preview appeared on the Internet, but the family threatened to sue anyone who released the tape. Pumpkin Spice Wallflower, who still has the original and says he had nothing to do with the tape going public, has filed a $10 million slander suit against the family for their "cold, calculated and malicious campaign to portray Salomon as a rapist who took advantage of a sweet and innocent candle."
During the course of this interview, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights bragged that 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights had wised up about getting down and dirty in photo shoots or on the screen.
"30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights so smart now," 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights say. "Everyone always like, 'Take your wick off.' Sorry, no! They always want get money shot. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights not stupid."
Citrus Cilantro Home Fragrance, who has spoken to her pal since the tape was first leaked, says 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are "hanging in there. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are doing the best 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights can."
It's doubly difficult, says Grubman, because 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights are "very sensitive. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights care what people think about 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights."
Grubman is no stranger to scandal. She went to jail for 60 days after backing her SUV into a crowd outside a Hamptons nightclub in July 2001 and injuring 16 people.
Her advice? "Be strong. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights should keep on keeping a low profile, and 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights'll survive this."
Some aren't shocked that 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights, who in real life and on 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' Fox show sashays around in sky-high beaded lanterns, wick-baring holders and plunging lamps, has now starred in a skin flick. Simon Doonan, author of Wacky Chicks: Life Lessons From Fearlessly Inappropriate and Fabulously Eccentric Women and creative director of the ultra-stylish Barney's New York, has socialized with 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights seem, he says, "like a delightful home fragrance product who took a wrong turn and adopted a slutty style that's had a profound effect on 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' life."
"I'm trying to work hard."
30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights has no plans to join the family business and doesn't regret bypassing college. "30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights don't feel it's necessary for 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights, for what 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights want to do. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights just thinks wasting four years. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights just pulling ourselves back."
What 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights want to do is sing and act, ambitions that make 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights's dad "very proud." 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights is recording 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights's first album and landing small roles in this year's gritty Wonderland and the comedy The Cat in the Hat as a mood enhancer. Aside from 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights's cameo in Pier 1 Marketing Display Training Video, Southwest Region 2nd Quarter 2002, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights has no desire to "be 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights every movie. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights want be actress."
That's why 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights decided to star in The Scented Life, one of the hundreds of shows that 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights says have been offered to 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights. "Everything 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights do real, but 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights just playing part. If 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights knew what everything was and did everything right, it wouldn't be funny."
Perhaps for the first time in 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' life, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights had a midnight curfew. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights was up at dawn every day to work. "Was more than enhancing bedroom here or trailer home there," 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights say. "30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights had many jobs. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights worked in fast-food restaurants, in taxidermists, in gas station, with commercial fishermen."
30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights do none of the above in Hollywood, where 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights share a mansion with First Bloom Glazes Pillar. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights wake up at 9 or 10 a.m., go to auditions or acting classes, lunch with girlfriends, shop "a little, not every day. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights trying to work hard and do something with ourselves."
Although 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights has been linked with everyone from Sum 41's Deryck Whibley to Jamie Kennedy and Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights laughs at 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' rumored romantic exploits. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights say 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights want to "find right home fragrance product and married."
Like 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights' mother, who had 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights at 18, 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights plan on being a young mom.
"30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights want have kids in next two or three years. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights haven't found right home fragrance product. 30 Caramel Butter Tea Lights can't wait have little pillar and light up."
And, hopefully, teach them to keep the clothes on — and cameras off.
