Asher Asher We All Fall Down!

March 24, 2008 by WendyB

Last night I dreamed that I was working with Paul McCartney on his new album, but he was so unappreciative of my efforts that he snubbed me in an elevator full of people. Then, suddenly, I was writing about the incident in a term paper that employed an incorrect footnote style. Next thing I knew, I was in a car with the cast of Sex and the City, trying to justify the footnote thing to them.

Feel free to analyze that bit of insight into my psyche. Personally, I got nothing out of it, except a reminder that I wanted to share Jane Asher‘s rose with you.

The Jane Asher rose was named after McCartney’s GF of 40 years ago

Pretty, isn’t it?

UPDATED TO ADD: I was very sad to see that Beatles employee Neil Aspinall died of cancer, but amused by the number of stories that refer to him as the “fifth Beatle.” There have been quite a few fifth Beatles, including Pete Best, Stu Sutcliffe and Brian Epstein. If everyone else gets to be a fifth Beatle, I think I should get to be a fifth Beatle too. Ooh! Maybe that’s what my dream was about.

    Here is my interpretation of your dream: You are struggling with the inner demon of insecurity whose face is so ugly (Heather Mills ugly) that even your subconscience can only face her/it by proxy.

    The reason why your fear is British-based is that your insecurity stems from a deep-seated worry that Wendy Brandes London is getting attention while you, the true and original Wendy Brandes New York, is getting ignored.

    You know you are smart enough (term paper) to deal with those name-stealing tea-leaves (did you see what I did there? Cockney rhyming slang, to keep with our Union Jack theme!) but you are still worried that you haven’t covered all your bases (the misformatted footnote).

    You don’t want to look foolish in front of us, your fabulously stylish and uber-hip friends, so you are feeling a bit apologetic about the whole thing.

    That will be $350.

    I’m not going to be able to fully analyze your dream until you tell us what were you wearing in this dream? Was it a denim ensemble a la Heather Mills?

    Ummm…that is one busy dream. I have a recurring dream that I have bunked all my maths classes and am about to fail high school because I don’t know enough to ever pass the maths exams. It doesn’t sound so bad, but it always scares the hell out of me.

    OMG – Bronwyn, that’s exactly the same dream I have over and over. In fact, I just had it 2 nights ago. It’s awful, don’t you agree?!

    Deirdre, I read your comment on the street, on my Treo, and started laughing out loud. Which of course encouraged a whole bunch of guys to say, “How YOU doin’?” to me, seeing as I looked friendly and all.

    Perhaps you feel unappreciated! When was the last time PMcC called you to say thanks for all the free publicity you give him on your blog?

  16. WendyB says

    March 24, 2008 at 8:23 pm

    ^^You know, ENC, he has really been a rude bastard about it. He hasn’t called, emailed or sent flowers. I think I’m going to eat some extra cow tomorrow just to get back at him.Ooh, I’m a spiteful bitch!

    As usual, your entries are intriguing and/or entertaining. I can’t imagine what the dream means, but I do appreciate seeing the Asher rose and the posts about your getting to meet/enjoy fellow bloggers, as well as those 1989 photos of you and your fashion stand-bys, or is it stand-byes?

    Anyway, I’m glad that your Paul was in Portland on Saturday because the sun was shining most of the day. Hope it was a highly productive trip for him.

    What a cool celebrity-licious dream!

    I have no idea what it means. Maybe it means you should design a ‘Beatle’ themed jewelry peice.

    Either after the band, or after the insect.

    Spiteful, but delightful. Chew on!

    With so many hats in the ring for fifth Beatle, I’m going to pretend I was the sixth.

    Well Sir Paul and Sex and the City have both been in the news quite a bit lately so it is understandable that they made their way into your dream. Sometimes the media and advertising scare me in what they can do to you conscious and subconscious mind.

    I am actually the tenth Beatle – still waiting for those royalty cheques.

    Despite watching SATC on a routine basis I have never once had a dream influenced by it. I’m a little jealous.
