The day had finally come. You and your date had just been seated at a prime window-front table at Le Bernardin, one of Manhattan's acclaimed three Michelin star restaurants. Was that Al Pacino at the next table? The evening seemed as though it was poised to be perfect. Until we walked in. From the street Katherine and I saw some useless new hostess sitting you at our table. Sure, we were running 30 minutes late but who cares. We don't need to play by the same rules as the rest of you commoners. And besides, we had a show to go to within 2 hours and we were not going to be waylaid by this nonsense. Eric Ripert, the celebrity chef and owner of the restaurant, was going to personally get an earful from Katherine - that's for sure.
Not surprisingly as we walked through the glass doors into the restaurant every head turned to see us.
Katherine looked resplendent in a Carolina Herrera floral print silk ruffled mini dress. The nearly $5000 sleeveless, backless and strapless cocktail number in canary yellow with a flared neckline magnificently accentuated her bust while giving onlookers the pleasure of gazing upon her leanly muscled but feminine tanned arms and back. The asymmetric sash at the waist profiled her athletic midriff spectacularly and, with a hem that hit mid-thigh, her glorious runners' legs were a display to behold. When coupled with a 4.5" pair of white patent leather Manolo Blahnik platform heels, the outfit easily made the strawberry blonde Mrs. Wray the belle of any ball.
Not to be outdone, I was wearing my brand new, form fitting sharkskin Tom Ford suit. The sheen on the grey material that profiled my highly exercised ass and sizable bulge to their best advantage likewise served to set the fitted blazer off from my tight white Prada shirt. That shirt was opened halfway down my chest to show both my incredible tan and the amount of time I spent working out. A pair of Tod's black soft leather driving loafers coddled my sock-less feet and a $30,000 Breguet watch was strapped around my wrist. Suffice it to say, as I scanned the restaurant to take in all the women looking my way - including your date - I saw nothing but a sea of unworthy losers. No man looked half as good as I and no woman could even approach the goddess who was on my arm.
"May I help you," came the voice of the unfamiliar hostess who had incompetently give you our table as we walked up to her stand.
"You clearly don't have any idea who we are, you stupid girl," snarled Katherine imperiously, "and where on earth is Pierre."
As the cowed hostess endeavored to frame a response, Katherine arrogantly pressed her advantage, "and where is Chef Eric because I assure you once he hears about this you'll be out on your fat ass where you belong."
As my sexy date continued to raise a ruckus, feeding both her ego and my own, you and the other diners couldn't help but notice. Although you and your date were here for the first time, the regulars had seen Katherine and I exercise our dominance before and - as you might expect given their envy - despised us for it. As if we cared.
Pointing at your table, Katherine continued to harangue the now angry but still polite hostess.
"What I need you to do is to get those.. those... commoners... removed from our table and get us our dinner right away," sneered my uber-confident mate.
"And what are you looking at you worm," my gorgeous date practically hissed at you as you stared dumbfounded at her rudeness.
"Put your eyes back in your head," she barked on, "people like me don't have time for the likes of you and I certainly don't need you ogling me. Dream on."
In the meantime, finally taking off my sunglasses that I had worn in off the street, and while you were being belittled by Ms. Wray, I smiled at your date while moving my blazer aside to give her a view of the bulge in my tight, expensive, designer pants. Of course, she wanted me.
Unsure what to do, and with a completely resigned look on her face and apologizing profusely, the embattled hostess asked you and your date if you wouldn't mind sitting at another table. Dinner - of course - would be on the house.
Not wanting to cause any more of a scene, and against the protestations of your date who is staring daggers both at you for not standing up for yourself and at Katherine for causing this mess, you agree to be moved.
"Chop, chop friend, get a move on" I goad you while arrogantly taking your date's hand to escort her from the table, "and by the way, I would have expected more from a man who was able to land such a lovely dinner companion."
Your date's momentary blush was ruined, however, when Katherine cruelly added, "he's only joking dearie - you're nothing but a cow."
Feeling triumphant as usual about getting our way, Katherine and were oblivious to the waiters coming from behind us to reset our table. One was carrying a tray with an open bottle of red wine and one pushing a very ornate cart that contained our plates cutlery and appetizers.
"Be careful," shouted the hostess upon realizing what was about to transpire.
"I've had just about enough of you telling me what to do you peon," Katherine began haughtily to say, as turning on her towering heels she sought again to dress the hostess down.
