Quote of the Day

Back in the 90s, Patrizia Reggiani (who once uttered, "I would rather weep in a Rolls-Royce than be happy on a bicycle,") was sentenced to 29 years in prison for successfully ordering the hit of her ex-husband, Maurizio Gucci (heir to the Gucci fortune), because she wanted more alimony.

Fast-forward to this week. Patrizia is up for parole. When she went in front of the board at San Vittore jail in Milan, here's what she said: 

"No, thanks... as it would mean getting a job, and I have never worked a day in my life. I would prefer to stay in my cell and water my plants and take care of my ferret." 

Wow. Just... wow.

Quote of the Day

"After that, she reached for the box of desserts and directed a fusillade of snack cakes at his head and body, her husband told police. Several of the confections apparently hit their mark, as the man's head and shirt were smudged with icing when officers arrived, according to a police report. He told officers he feared for his safety."

Fabulisa note: How much do we love the term "a fusillade of snack cakes"? After reading that, I'm already having the best week ever, and it's only Monday. I bet DJB would have truly enjoyed it if I had directed a fusillade of snack cakes at him yesterday.

"Kate Moss asked for a belt once, so I gave it to her, but I had to say, 'Are you sure she’ll be wearing it?' I didn’t want to see it on her maid."
