The specimen under the microscope today falls
under Chapter Eight: Curvaceous Crawlers, in my book ‘Shebug: Dissecting the
Gold Digger’.
A colleague of mine presented me with her Shebug story,
which centers on her au pair- except, not in the way you may think…
The Shebug is of Polish origin.
“She became known in the neighbourhood as ‘Glamour
Puss’ ”, Kathleen tells me. “We all expected to see her on the arm of an
oligarch.”
What nobody imagined was that one with such
pulling power would end up dating Kathleen’s au pair.
Eyebrows went up and chins got scratched across
the communal gardens when the unlikely Shebug coupling announced plans to wed.
The twenty-eight year old had only just graduated
from university. Neither he, nor his family, had a penny to their name. Immemorial
insofar as his looks and his carriage, he qualified as ideal MI6 material. His
only future prospect worth note was to further his education.
The dodgy gaggle of individuals, whom Glamour Puss
referred to as ‘family’, kept coming up with more and more colourful reasons to
delay the wedding date, one sounding more ludicrous than the next. Everyone saw
the writing on the wall, except for her smitten fiancé.
Eventually, the ridiculous excuses ran out. And so
did the Glamour Puss along with her and her cronies.
Kathleen knows it is only a matter of time before the
Shebug’s face surfaces on the cover of some magazine as Mrs. Rich Deep-Pockets
all decked out in riotous layers of crinoline and lace, and everything bad
taste.
Fortunately, the broken-hearted au pair has since
obtained a post-graduate degree, and a position with a major management
consultancy.
