Blondepoets Mad Mesmerising Memoirs
76
So You Thought You Were Mad
Scandals ! Bloopers ! Sensations ! Catastrophe's !
Indeed, there are many. Well in my life there has been. By public demand I have been asked to share some of these stories with you. I can vouch, yes, they are all actual events, and not mere fictional tales to tantalise your taste-buds. As bizarre as some may appear, they did indeed happen to me. For those who already think me mad, be prepared to declare me 'psycho' well and truly before the conclusion of this article. I actually don't mind being labelled 'eccentric', it shows that I am different. I bluntly refuse to become a Mrs Jones, Mrs Brown, spending my days cooking, cleaning, gardening, cooking, cleaning, gardening, cooking, cleaning, gardening.There is nothing wrong with performing those tasks, but that is not all I want to do. I don't seek material items either. My life may be a tar odd, prone to disaster or two, a total mad-cap, but at least it defies the laws of monotony.
'Those who know my past, will know that my life is a celebration indeed.'
The Scandal Of The One Missing Eyebrow
Why does it always have to happen to me?
I was only two months into my Hair-dressing Apprenticeship when my boss demanded that it was time I performed an eye-brow wax on a client. Instantly my legs began to tremble at the thought, I mean I had never actually performed one before, and I had hardly practised at all.
My upper-class well dressed client was becoming impatient so I began to apply the hot wax to her brows. My hands were violently shaking by now....I ripped the sturdy cloth in one direction, my legs giving way beneath me.
'OH ALAS AND ALACK I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE WHOLE EYEBROW'
What does one do in a situation such as this. As I threw the furry evidence clean in the bin beside me I thought of three options.
1.Charge her half price for one missing brow.
2.Pencil one in real quick
3. Run.
I chose number two, and forfeited showing her in the mirror.
The Catastrophe Of A Missing Earlobe
Speak up I can't 'ear ya
One night while cutting a friend's hair in my own place, I found myself growing agitated as he would not sit still. I did not know him that well actually, but I knew him well enough to know what a pain in the ass he was. Ringing me night and day, trying to persuade me to go out with him.
I told him quite plainly that I was now trimming around his ears could he please sit still. Just as I went to take a big snip, he swung around , and plop......went his ear-lobe on the floor. The funny thing is that he just went on talking, he had not felt a thing. Indeed I was in turmoil on this one. Just before passing out, I told him of my minor mishap, and in panic he grabbed the lobe and ran. I heard that the hospital managed to reconnect it, so that made me feel better. I never saw him again though, I guess that's one way of shaking off a man.
Believe me this was a one off incident, I don't make a habit of lopping of body parts. If he hadn't of moved, no-one of it would have happened.
'Oh God no-one will trust me with a hair-cut now '
The Disaster Of The Ski Slope Haircut
My first haircut was also a disaster.
The poor girl only asked for the split ends tidied up. Somehow one side just kept looking longer than the other so I kept trimming it and trimming it. Oh look, I really don't know what went wrong, but the final product was not a pretty sight. The left side sat just above the shoulder blade, ascending down like a ski slope to the right side, approx 16inches longer.Most surprising this girl never returned to complain, perhaps she enjoyed my own unique asymmetrical hair-cut.
'Blindness may also be another possibility'
Bloopers
I can't believe I reported MM's and CW's Hubs has having no sound. LMAO I discovered 10min later my sound was on mute'.
BROKEN HEADSETS: I have broken three headsets in eight weeks. The first pair were demolished beyond recognition. I was in such a hurry to get up from my PC one day that I forgot they were on my head, and as I tore myself away, so did all the wiring on my new headsets. Desperate to keep using them I sticky taped all the wiring together, but I still had the problem of the head-piece dangling in my cleavage. Two weeks later, equipped with a brand new pair, I accidentally sat on the wee things. The third set I am still using, however, they are a little out of shape, nothing a bit of a twist and bend can't fix.
'I pray on a daily basis for their welfare'
LOSING ITEMS :I am always losing items. Continually. I lose my sunglasses often only to discover they are still on my head. The most losable item I lose are keys. I am tired of being locked out from my home. One doomed afternoon upon arriving home I realised yet again, I had left the keys inside. However, I noticed a window was ajar on the second level, lo and behold it was my lucky day. It was then I spotted the huge extend-able ladder beckoning me to fetch it from beneath the house. I dragged it out and somehow propped it up to rest on the ledge of the open window. Nervously I began to climb. I only had two steps to go, when suddenly It collapsed beneath me. Down, down, down I travelled. Aghhhhhhhhhhh!!
'Believe it or not I lived through the experience, my worst injury... a fractured ankle'
CARTWHEELING OVER A FENCE : A few years ago I was staying with a friend close to the city, desperately trying to avoid a certain someone. One particular day I heard the sound of a familiar car, so in my panic I scooted over the six foot back fence. Not acustomed to climbing fences I actually lost my footing as I went over and I landed in the Oasis Beauty Salon next door. The women there were adamant I lay still, while they called an ambulance, much to all my protests.
In http://hubpages.com/hub/AEvans-And-Blondepoets-World-Adventures you will recall reading that I accidentally set fire to our Glasgow cabin. This indeed was based on a real life event.
PLAYING WITH MATCHES : I was grilling chunky hamburger patties and accidentally left the grill on, while I went out about my business. After seeing black smoke wafting through the front door, I screamed for my neighbour to help me. At first he did not believe me. He was so used to hearing me rehearsing lines for my upcoming plays, he swore I was only acting. Thank goodness he finally knew I was telling the truth, as I was just in the process of putting an oil fire out with a hose.
"Noooooooooooo", he hollered "Don't put water on oil"
The Catastrophe Of Falling Asleep In The Shower
Always choose the appropriate place to sleep
About three years ago I moved into a brand new, two story, brick townhouse. I had been out that night arriving home at approx 5.00am in the morning. Heading upstairs I decided to take a shower to try and wake myself up for work. It was far too tiring standing, so I decided to lay down on the shower floor, far too drained to even hold a bar of soap. Within seconds I was asleep. Little did I know my buttocks were covering the plug hole and water was beginning to flood the bathroom floor.
'WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'
I was abruptly awoken by the sound of wailing fire alarms and smashing glass. The water had flooded out through the bathroom door onto the hallway. Water had seeped though the floor, and many chandeliers on the ground floor exploded as a consequence.
'I learnt an extremely valuable lesson from this experience. Never ever fall asleep in the bathroom, your buttocks sure do cost you a small fortune in light fixture repairs and carpet cleaners'
The Scandal Of Acting Sensation Anna Papadopillus
A breakaway from the stereo-type
A few years back I was given the wonderful opportunity to direct and produce Roma's Mayor's Command Performance. I used this chance to write a segment for myself and a fellow actor, in the hope to break away from the stereotype of constantly playing the 'Blonde Bimbo'. I invented a bungling hideous character whom I named Anna Papadopillus, the perfect woman for me to portray.
To become this domineering new Australian woman I donned a short auburn wig, blackened my front teeth, padded my clothes with heaps of cushioning and found myself a hideous floral frock.To get into character, I door-knocked my local neighbourhood, posing as a Jehovah Witness, in the hope to fool my friends.The staggering amount of doors that closed in my face proved to me my success.
'They say our act was the most hilarious and creative segment of the evening. Indeed I proved that I was more than a Blonde. I even made the front page of the 'Western Star Newspaper', with a dazzling picture of Anna, which I hope to add to this page in the very near future.'
The Catastrophe Of The Marble Cake
Always follow the recipe
I remember at the age of thirteen I was adamant I was going to bake my father a Marble Cake, to prove my creative skills I had accumulated in the kitchen.The recipe called for half cup of plain flour, which I soon realised I did not have in stock. Instead I substituted Bi-Carbonate Soda (also known as Baking Soda)...............................
Oh dear Lord it didn't turn out like a cake at all, in fact I had to serve it to my father in a soup bowl with a spoon.
'My Father was too polite to tell me how horrendous it was. I watched his face turn green as he took a few sips'
The Scandal Of The Fake Firefighter
Dress Ups whilst tiddly.
For someone who does not drink a lot, I did on this particular night. I had consumed an entire bottle of Passion Pop wine with a straw, depressed from a recent breakup.
A good friend of mine, an avid fire-fighter, who had just finished fighting a large bushfire happened to be over. He had to pop back briefly to the fire scene, so he suggested I don a fire-fighter uniform and come for a drive in an attempt to cheer me up. With my party clothes and stilettos beneath, I donned the uniform and slumped in the fire-truck. Upon arriving on the scene, I grew tired of waiting for his return, so I stumbled out the vehicle, unable to even walk a straight line. Some of the crowd who had gathered to view the bush fires suddenly noticed me and began to head in my direction. Before I knew it I had at least 30 people before me, asking me questions relating to the fires. Ooooo an audience......open the curtains...spotlights please....
This is wonderful I thought as I addressed the waiting crowds hungry for my professional words ."Yes", I muttered, "the fire is covering a radius of approx 19kms......blah blah"
Quickies
Wrapping up this madness:
I rang the law enforcement in the wee hours one morning to remove a stalking plumber calling to me from the bushes outside. If this man did as much plumbing as he did stalking, he might be a lot better at adjusting his nuts.
Upon arriving in my current city my first acting job was as a giant daisy, 'Dazz Daisy' who entertained the multitudes. Thank God I was totally unrecognisable in my greenery.
I rode a shopping trolley home once as I broke a heel. I didn't know we would crash into a neighbour's garden
I detested the guy who once took me to the drive-in to see a movie. He soon asked, "Would you like to hop in the back." I played dumb. "No", I replied, "I would rather sit in the front with you."
Invited to a church service one evening I accidentally walked into the men's toilets on recess. It did not occur to me until I hit the cubicles that I had just walked past 6 men at the urinals....."Look calm,,,don't panic", I muttered to myself....I strutted out so casually, in the hope they would think I may be an angel....descending from above. I fainted once outside.

Amazing. It's a wonder you survived, poor dear. Hilarious!
LOL Thank you Deb! One brow! Can't stop giggling :)
Sooooo Funny! I always thought the whole Blonde thing was just a cliche'! Who knew??!!
These are great. That lopped off earlobe thing had me grabbing for my ear, making sure it was still there. Ouch!
Bloody hell, how come you aren't FAMOUS yet?!
I was going for a hair cut tomorrow. I think I'll leave it for a while now.
One Brow and a snip of the ear, your not blonde you are just bubbly.... :) If the one eyebrow manages to disappear again, wax off the other as it will then be a matching set. Whoopi doesn't have eyebrows either..:):):Lol :)
Well yer just like my wife. she's always cutting me when giving me a haircut. And I am motionless. She's supposed to be a cosmetologist, but she ain't no barber. Gawd this was funny girl. That blond is dumb, but she's cute as hell. Now you'e heard Teresa use my word, a hoot. haha now go see my new hub my masteress Deb
very Hilarious good hub
You live a charming, if not exactly charmed, life. These little scenarios are ... don't even know what word to apply here! Adorable, quaint, funny, embarrassing, extraordinary, silly, outrageous... or all of the above! Thanks for showing us the bumbling side of our very talented blondepoet! MM
never a boring moment with you around BP, you're a trip, and I don't care, you can cut my hair any day, even if I might lose a lobe.
Get in line Toad!!! Ears ??? who needs 'em?
neither one of us listen anyways
LOL!!! Good point Toad...BP you may as well trim around the the weasle ... I don't use it either...Nuts??? who need 'em?
Yipes, I think she might use the wax technique in that instance, still Yipes!
Wax on wax OFF!!!! Imagine a nut hanging from a wax strip??? Sounds like BP has had that kind of "luck"
Whoa! You're more dangerous than I thought? But I guess those clients of yours deserved a to lose more than they asked for!
And how could six guys not notice you in the mens room? That reminds me, some drummer guy from a band showed up to our church. He was about to use the girls restroom which has no sign like the mens room. I hollared at him, excuse me sir, that's the ladies room! He turned around and answered in anger, I'm a girl! ..... 0_0 I told my youth minister about that and she laughed her head off and warns all the youth girl to not hit on the hot looking drummer boy...errr girl.
BTW, love the blonde youtube vid.
A new horror story. Did you check out the pipe in the photos, that how I used to smoke in high school
Could you imagine no eyebrows and a new set everyday??? To think if we wanted to look like Brooke Shields we just line them on heavier, if we wanted to look like a martian we could do the unibrow look, wonder what the guys would think??/ Unibrow, Bush Brow and when you are making love all of a sudden no brows,......Scarrryyyyy Lollolololol :):):):):
Hi, Blondepoet: I would still let you cut my hair (but I'd be very, very still...and nervous.) You're so funny. You need a keeper - someone just to go with you every where to keep you out of trouble and protect you...and everyone around you!
OMG it is true then??? Blondes have more fun...Loved it sugar...G-Ma :O) Hugs & Peace
BP - you're hilarious! I guess fun things just happen to some people and you're one of them :D Think of all the stories you can tell the family many years from now - bet none of them will have memories like these to compare!
they should make a movie about you! :D
I think you are going to do my friend you are at "99" I hope you do it!!! Hey where is my frog ????? I know where you are...hehehehehe lolo:)
I had so much fun reading this. I love how you tell stories. I just get lost in them. I've seen that dumb blond video and it's truly hard to believe. Funny to put that in there. Can't wait to see the picture you promiced us!
Funny! I wish I could have been there for the earlobe thing! lol! Thanks for the laughs!
Dear, you know you're funny, you really are and we all love you so. If you never make it to moviedom you'll always be a shining star on these pages. I just love your little foibles, they're endearing and make you real to us all. You are an Amazonian talent too. luv now
Hi BP
You're a funny lady. I'm still grinning at your Vincent Van Gogh moment with the ear lobe. The video clip is hilarious too. Where do they find these people? But then I guess Sarah Palin thought Africa was a country, so perhaps there's a lot of it about! LOL!
that's funny, so blondepoety.
Hey, I dropped my dack. check yer mail
Is it really that funny? now i'm hurt, woe is I. I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it and had to go pee. haha
hell yeah you're funny! and hot!
Arrrrgggghhhhh! Methinks you'd look extra fine in a pair of knee high leather pirate boots! Like I wear, only I don't look quite as good as you! Arrrrrggghhh! I was told by a couple of mystics to seek out the initials B P. Could it be you I have been seeking?
I think we have all had some moments like this! I remember, way back when I was in school, a friend and I accidentally walked right into the guy's locker room, right after they had finished football practice. This makes me want to write about some of the stranger, funnier things that have happened to me, or that I have done!
Hi BP, great pics in this!
I have troubling news, there was another complaint about Naked Hubbers. Maddie was very cool, looked it over and said yours and Mighty Mom's were "borderline," which we know is true. So I had to remove them. I'll get you guys acceptable replacements ASAP.
Hey you. I'm back
Ooooh so priceless! We must grill chunky burgers together sometime! :D
I clearly see the moral here...when one makes a blunder, pretend as if you've done it on purpose...
"What? You don't like having one penciled in eyebrow? It's all the rage in Paris!! The nerve!"
"Yes, I'm in the men's urinal, and I did it because I wanted to see what the fuss was about."
Very funny hub BP! :D
There was a long queue on this hub I had to wait my turn! Great anecdotes. I have a very short haircut, so the worst you could do is nick my ear with the shaver. but I'll take that chance. If I were one of the 6 guys I would have stared at you and wet my shoes, the wall and the roof in the process as not only my eyes would have followed you!
Great funny hub!
I Look forward to tea but I am sure we can do better than that.
One tequila
two tequila
Three tequila more
Four tequila
five tequila
six tequila floor!
Ha! I'm always saying "It's all fun and games until someone loses an earlobe." Thanks for making my point!
I wouldn't feel to badly about the guy's ear. Some people can't take a hint, and you just need to take a more direct approach.
Hey when are you going to view your art on my new hub?
Thanks for making me laugh so hard!!! HAhahaha!
I thought I was endowed with the gift to break things.
The earlobe is my favorite story. :)
Very entertaining hub!
U r a crazy one, but cute..
You seem somewhat accident prone but I love this Hub. It is interesting and hilarious at the same time. I love the toilet and the shower curtain - I will keep the designs in mind.
As regards the episode with the earlobe, I had a great-aunt who was a gents' barber and she did exactly the same thing the first time she cut a man's hair - I wonder how common an occurence this is?
Goodness, this really all happened to you Deb? Hahahaha Thank God, it didn't happened to one person, I'd faint knowing all that is left is half of me! LOL Hugs... :-) Thanks for the laugh!
Wow 212 fans...you and cindy getting them all...congrats.
Poor blonde!
Yes I am glad to be back. We didn't have work yesterday so I was in the computer and did a lot of hubbing...and even convinced myself to finally write a new hub. LOL Well, glad to know you survive all that to tell the tale. And you better be careful now.. It would be interesting to having a haircut from you. Promise not to cut my ears? I will sit still. LOL
Well, surely you can't make much money from those hair designs lol
ROFL, I am sure I am in good hands (knock on wood too.) Hahaha My hair is so limp Deb..it is usually a challenge! But I'm sure I'll look good afterwards. Sigh..I wish you weren't so far away, I would have made an appointment and subject myself to your beauty care. LOL Yes, do visit and read my hubs...I'll see you in my page soon. You take care...
I'm walking ... I'm walking to you... LOL Okay, okay... let me rephrase that... I'm walking on sunshine woh woh and it feels so good! LOL Coz I'm doing it all with you. You are all my inspiration too. :-) Have a beautiful weekend...
You really put a lot of energy into this one. No wonder you have so many fans.
Fantastic hub... I will be using some of your advice.
-Nicki B.
The photos were so funny I had to go back and read the rest of it.
oh blonde it is so nice to know there are people out there that go through the same things as me I for one was always told dont put your foot into your mouth or dont go feet first but i do . lol thanks for the laughs it reminds me of what i have done in the past.
That's good stuff Blondie. If I haden't given up haircuts for lent about 9 years ago, I would let you cut my hair.
A very funny and entertaining hub! I think you could do very well on YouTube. With your skills, you could make excellent videos. You would surely become what they call a partner. People would subscribe to your channel and make comments. And, you get a share of the revenue. Check it out. If you do start your own channel, post the news on HubPages to let everyone know.
Hey Lady,
Fabulously entertaining.. Varied content, your photo's are wierd and wonderful too. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Nick
My, my, my. You are one fine mess. It's a wonderful mess. This is great humor. Thanks for stopping by my hub. I seem to run out of time doing all there is to do but it is a great vacation to wander over here in Blondepoet Land!
I came back to read this again. I do love the "classics".
blonde,
I learned a lot about the two of you. Those pics really showed off your writing talent. Your writing was centered properly, the margins really were nice, the head shots (well), your paragraphs were well proportioned and the proper things were highlighted. Excellent; was there any writing?
Hahahahaha your off your nut, but in a good way, stalking plummers, drunken dressed firefighters, buttocks covering plug holes will ye stop it goes on, killing me, hilarious stuff, I've tons a storeys like this been a former(dormant) wild lad but I still wouldn't have the balls to put the stories on the net, great stuff, cracked me up, Stephen.
Hahahhaha the only problem is I might expect a knock on the door by authorities if I do haha, I will say in 2001 I was throwing out of australia lol and I'm meant to be going back next year for a funeral, oh sorry I mean a wedding, same to me lol and I have to see if my ban is up :-/ hmmm, i will have to see.
hmmmmmm Hugh Grant, hmm compliment or insult haha and its I always call weddings funerals due to my fear and hatred of the word "wedding" arrrrhh ooo the shivers lol
Oh BP you are such a talented hubber! I don't leave you many comments cause my finger gets tired scrolling down to the bottom of your comments section... I need a nap...
Mikel
i was in a fit of hysterics after reading this well written BP keep up the good work
blondepoet, I was in med school when my baby sister was killed by a drunk driver, I dropped out of med school and went to live upstate with my coke lovin cousin. We went to Cosmetology school,got my license, got top score on my state exam... I had a similar situation with a guy, we (friend and I) were geared up to go out one night and he showed up begging me to give him a quick trim, I relented, was in a hurry and angry, rushing I cut the top of my middle finger knuckle almost off, just hanging, you know how bad it hurts...I wish I had thought to cut his ear off instead... LOL great hub, Peace :)
...why isn't it obvious by now - you are the hottest woman on the face of this planet - and not just because you look so good in that nurse's uniform - but your sense of humor is so rich
that those of us who laugh with you are the wealthiest people in the world!
I utterly enjoyed this post and had a broad smile on my face all the way through..a very witty and thoughtfully written hub..such are the posts which makes a person’s day, you have made my month though...thanks:-)
I feel for you. I've manage to lock my keys in my car, with the car on and the gas light had been on for awhile. It took me awhile to find someone to bring me the spare keys and was one of the few times I hated having manual locks. I end up doing crazy things at work so often I don't even get a raised eyebrow anymore.
This is a fantastic hub really got me laughing such a good read, I was amazed at the fantastic images you have here they are top class like yourself, all the best, mark.
Blonde! We miss you in the forums! It's just not the same without your humor!
Oh Dear, thanks for making my morning..this was a witty ride..Keep hubbing, coz we enjoy it a lot..Cheers
