Let’s Dish About Fashion

Let’s Dish About Fashion, and Listen Close Honey, ‘Cause I Got The Scoop.

Carin’ Karen here, once again, laying down the lyrical logistics of the satellite dish world. Now the following call came in early one morning and the frilly, squeaky voice on the other end sounded like it was coming from a little fashionista with a little question about the “new hat” she’d just got for her house. Yes, you heard me right: she called that new Direct TV satellite dish on her bungalow, “a hat.” More like a beret if you ask me but that is beside point.

Her name was Tiffany (how perfect is that?) and she knew everything there was to know about fashion. But her life wasn’t all glamorous magazines and snobby designers, she said her job was to “beautify the world, pretty up the place and keep colors coordinated.” I guess this is the part when someone is supposed to interject with an enthusiastic: “YOU GO GIRL!”

Now Tiffany’s problem was that she loved her new Direct TV satellite service but felt like the gray dish was a little too drab for mint green bungalow motif she had going on.

“What’s a girl to do?” she asked. “It’s not like I can paint it. Can I?”

“Girl,” I responded, “you can paint that dish fire-truck red if you want to.”

“Can I really?” Tiffany became excited.

“Contrary to popular belief, the satellite dish can be painted but it should NEVER be painted with glossy or semi-gloss paint. I know it won’t be as shiny as your manicured fingernails but your house will once again be on the right side of the law of fashion.” I love being so informed I thought to myself. “Oh and this is very important: you must be sure to avoid getting any paint on the lens of the LNB receiver. Just consult your instruction book to make sure you don’t get paint on the cover the lens, otherwise you’ll miss an episode of Taradise on the E! Channel.”

Fighting fashion faux pas and keeping you informed, I’m Carin’ Karen.
