About
Fashion
Neurotic PR bigwig Edina Monsoon and her best friend Patsy, fashion editor of a glossy mag, face a heavy day. Eddy is frantically preparing for her debut fashion show and trying to prove to her daughter, Saffron, that she can function without booze. Best friend Patsy, content for alcohol to remain a substitute to food, isn't helping. Yasmin Le Bon just dropped out. Perhaps a little wine will help...
Fat
After piling on pounds, Eddy is contemplating ways to lose weight. The problem becomes critical when she hears she is going to be visited by her reed-like model friend from the 60s. Drastic measures are taken as Eddy embarks on an aggressive weight loss regime which includes 'sleep running'. When Eddy's doctor refuses to give her diet pills, best friend Patsy has some simple advice: "liposuction on the stomach and hips, bum lift, boob job and lose a rib." Cheers Patsy.
