Case in point.
Two weekends ago, when I was unfortunately out of town, Wingman had the, um, remarkable good fortune to finally happen upon Blazer Boy in the flesh. Last weekend I asked Wingman what he thought about BB, mentioning that one of our other friends (very astutely IMO) that BB was strikingly similar to James Spader (aka the immortal Steff) from his Pretty in Pink days:
I was quickly disabused of that notion.
Wingman: No way, that assclown is nowhere NEAR that cool. I mean, I would give credit where credit is due if he were, but he's not. NO. WAY. I was actually expecting way more based on what Bossy has told me about him. Pretty disappointing.
I have to say, I still think the Steff reference is spot on, right down to the fluffy hair, the constant preening and checking to see if anyone is looking at him, and, of course, the blazer. Not to mention that one of Steff's lines could easily fall from BB's lips:
Steff/BB: I've been out with a lot of girls at this school. I don't see what makes you so different.
Andie/Bossy: I have some taste.
(Yeah, I know this is NOT how BB and Bossy went down. But it would have been funny if it had been. And as Bossy so aptly stated, we have wasted enough blog space on BB, but I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to post a pic of the Spader.)
