What Would Jackie Collins Drink?

Feb 18, 2005 16:32

This morning I was meditating on cocktails, thinking about how nice a Tom Collins sounded after a long week. Then I started wondering, if there's a cocktail called Tom Collins (gin + sour mix + soda) and another called John Collins (bourbon + sour mix + soda), wouldn't it stand to reason that Jackie Collins would stand among the line-up ( Read more... )

What excellent pictures! AND you are super cool because of being related to Clyde Barrow! How could you resist putting that all over every livejournal post you have? I would print it on my business cards, under the heading "Professional Badass."

Must try to get Jackie Collins drink into general circulation. Maybe it should have a cherry in it? Crushed? Several broken ones? A cherry stabbed by an umbrella? Oh, there are soo many places to go from here.

Yes! And my great-great-something-grandmother (on my mom's side -- these are my dad's folks, pictured above) was a gypsy fortune-teller from Portugal. I tend to think that's pretty fantastic.

I love the idea of the crushed cherry! Maybe it could be ground up in the bottom of the glass, mojito-style. And then the drink could be garnished with a wedge of grapefruit! (Stabbed by an umbrella, yes, absolutely!) The possibilities are endless. We should recommend this for the next LUPEC meeting.

PS, did I mention that the fortune-teller fell in love with an English sea captain and ran away to America with him?

Gypsies, tramps and thieves, we'd hear it from the people of the town.

you have genetic coolness! madge_pastiche February 23 2005, 01:09:26 UTC

Oh MAN them's good genes! You are soooooo lucky to have such an incredible history! That's so cool you never have to think about coolness ever again! You are so naturally cool, from generations of coolness, that you could never be dorky enough to outdo your historical coolness! You could stand in line for three days to see the new Star Wars! You could dress like cap'n Kirk and address people as "My good fellow!" You could pull your pants up to your nipples and not wash! It wouldn't matter. You are like a monarch of cool, king cool at 12, ruling the school because your relatives always have.
