4/13/2024 0 Comments Tina mom of two fuckingDoreen suggests that their story might be a good idea for a book, “sisters forced to navigate the sexual revolution without a mother,” but Joyce shoots the idea down, saying “I’m not sure anyone cares.” Like any of us care about whatever she’s working on about recontextualizing the Brontë sisters. The elder sister actually did a semester at UC Berkeley before being forced to drop out and come home to raise Joyce after their mother left. Doreen tries to engage Shelly in conversation, and Joyce continually cuts her off, making assumptions and assertions about her sister that aren’t true.įor instance, Joyce says that Shelly married Lenny right out of high school, but that’s not true. (“If my eldest would just ejaculate into one dedicated sock instead of anything nearby, I’d save years on laundry!”) They met at the bar and bonded over petits fours, and while Joyce seems eager to dig into her old prof’s memories of their time together, it quickly becomes clear that Doreen doesn’t really have any. When she finds Shelly after the presentation, the big sister is chatting with “Doreen,” who just so happens to be said educator. When the sisters get to Joyce’s reception, though, she doesn’t see her professor. After all, Professor Merim was the one who told Joyce to fall in love with her own unique voice and Lord knows she has. Shelly’s also there because she’s been trying to get some one-on-one time with Joyce to talk about what’s going on out in San Marino in her very real, very sexy life, but of course Joyce just blows her off in favor of acclaim, fancy academics, and stern coeds.Īs we learn while the sisters are flying very poshly off to Vassar, part of the reason for Joyce’s trip back to her old stomping grounds is that Joyce wants to enlist her favorite professor to write the prologue to her very boring-sounding book. They’re fêting her, and she’s taking Shelly along to show her the sights that the elder sister only ever really got to see through her mind’s eye while reading Joyce’s letters home. The sisters are off to Joyce’s alma mater because she has (surely not unselfishly) endowed a scholarship for women who want to get into print media. In this week’s episode of Minx, Shelly gives her kid sis the old what-for on an eye-opening trip to Vassar (which is also a leg-opening trip), where Joyce is forced to reckon with the fact that she isn’t the center of the entire universe. Well, at least I’m not the only one fed up with Joyce Prigger’s “me, me, me” attitude.
