For those of you who didn't buy a copy last year (why not?), good news! The Very Mistress MJ Diaries is back by popular demand, entering its third print run just in time for the Winterval gift-giving occasion of your choice.
You've already seen the amuse.bouke.cusp excerpts (or you will do if you click the link up there), so the following are some of my favourites that I didn't get time to share last year.
You'd better snap a copy or two up now, as they're bound to sell like hot cakes before The Very Mistress has them recalled!

Just the 9th Century..?
ReplyDeleteI've placed my order - a perfect gift for Mother, methinks. Jx
Oh, dear. The editor obviously overlooked the "BC"...
DeleteDid we really need to see her plunge pool though.
ReplyDeleteWell, there is a warning sticker for the faint of heart or easily repulsed on the front cover. I probably should have started with that...
DeleteNo doubt you'll hear from her lawyer, when he finishes with Harvey Weinstein.
ReplyDeleteIt appears he may be some time. Certainly plenty of time for me to gather some essentials and make a leisurely getaway.
DeleteWhat a fabulous and adventurous life she lives! Who's watering the plants while she's on the moon?
ReplyDeleteI believe she left a small contingent of HouseBoys to deal with such things. Oh, and Norma and Peenee of course.
DeleteThis would make a cracking 2018 calendar.... Erm...I will place my order.... but excuse me whilst I visit the loo.... oops, too late.... My plunge pool has released....
ReplyDeleteSx
Oh, no! Release the spillway! Crank the valve piston!
DeleteGah! Too late! All the calendars have been flood damaged.
Where's Trump when you need him with those paper towels?
DeletePlunge pool? PLUNGE POOL?!!!
ReplyDeleteYikes!
Delete*runs away*
I love the pictures and would also like a calendar!
ReplyDeleteI've found one that's not been too damaged by Ms Scarlet's flooding - only the back cover and half of December is a bit moist...
DeleteIt will cost you, Hound of Hecate.
Delete- Blanches -
Delete"Henchman" has (at least for my taste) such a garotty sound to it, could we go with myrmidon ? Or knave, as knight LẌ is surely entitled to have a loyal donzel or squire. Just don't call me Sancho, hey !
ReplyDeleteSay, on the front cover, that isn't Mitzi by chance ?
Ooh, Myrmidon Mago! Yes, that's much more suitable. At least it won't sound like you're a useless bumbling servant like an Igor, or any number of rubbish Supervillain assistants.
DeleteMitzi?
*squints and lowers light levels*
Could be...?
With a little tweaking, the Mistress Moon Lander will make the Kessel Run in 11 parsecs!
ReplyDeleteI tried to read the wiki article about "parsec" and gave up after the first line.
DeleteSo I guess this is "really" fast, yes ?
Parsec is a unit of distance, not time. It is a mistake in Star Wars; Kessel Run. Nerd stuff. Sorry.
DeleteHa hah hah haa!! Good one, LẌ!
DeleteNothing like a bit of nerd humour.
Oh, and I meant to say: don't tweak too much or she'll fly apart!
DeleteI'm glad someone is shining a light on the dreadful conditions the Mistress makes us lackeys slave under.
ReplyDelete*snuffs out Peenee's candle*
DeleteI'm sure that's a euphemism. Jx
DeleteI do what I can, Peenee.
Delete::Pssst! I'll see if I can smuggle in a box of matches when she's not looking::
::That's not a euphemism::
::is it?::
I don't care. I look better in a gas mask than she does on a good day. If she ever had one.
DeleteThat is not a euphemism.
Ha!
DeleteI'll have you know, Peenee, that I once had a good day, back in ... when was it?
Delete2007 or 2008 when I came to your blog.
DeleteSliding since.
Wait, there's a book or a calendar? Or have I missed the entire subject again? *sigh*

Don't worry, Savvy. It's not a contest, this time.
