Gossip
Claudia has started trouble on The Island from day one. She is displaying hostility towards the other inhabitants. Lowenstein diagnosed her and told her she has a tendency toward inappropriate humor. Every time Lowenstein told her this Claudia starts to giggle. Cheryl asked "what's the joke?", which only made Claudia laugh harder... which made Doris start to laugh too. Before you knew it Doris had the hiccups. Anshel then had to put on a voodoo skeleton mask to scare Doris's hiccups away. It's all too involved, and Katie gets very upset because nobody will listen to her plans to organize an election of Island officers. She's been making leaflets out of palm leaves with her candidates scrawled in squid ink.
Meanwile, Esther is planning to record an album of island sounds and is experimenting with acoustics using coconuts and seashells. Good Fanny is trying hard to convince Esther to put on a show for the rest of the girls but Esther kept complaining about the lighting. Esther said she'd only work at twilight when she's got this great red silohuette around her hair. Good Fanny is being a trooper, though. She asked Bad Fanny if she would do the show, but BF said she won't do any "penny-anny, nickel and dime production put on by some two bit producer who's mishugennah for buffalo". Fortunately for Good Fanny, Dolly Levi is in her corner. She's selling tickets to the show and bartering with the other islanders for costumes. Everyone except Doris and Cheryl that is. Their taste in clothes is not quite what GF wants. Where is Donna Karan when you need her?
Here are a few other tidbits
-- Susan Lowenstein has been complaining mightily about her nails. Seems she forgot to bring an emory board. It is annoying the whole island.
-- Daisy has been talking to the flowers and plants and they are growing so fast that the officials are worried that they'll need to go in there with machettes to keep the clearing open.
-- Margaret had a fantasy that dinosaurs were brought back to life using DNA cloning. She was attacked by a velacoraptor!
-- Judy snuck into the CBS truck to steal a double-thick roast beef sandwich on rye, mayo on top and mustard on the bottom, with a diet anything.
-- Cheryl wrote a new ditty. It's a rap song about a Tahitian girl and her Latvian lover. Without her organ the girl is useless.
-- Everybody is mad at Yentl. She burnt the one fish they caught.
