“Dirty Sexy Money”: Down and Dirty

Posted by Olivia Purnell


Okay, the Dirty drama escalated really quickly this week.  Beginning with the Dirty dealings of one Lucy Liu.

Who doesn’t love it when Lucy Liu gets Dirty?

Luckily, Lucy got lots of facetime as the backstabbing tigress with a heart of gold.  She wants to do what’s right, but she’s in Simon Elder’s clutches.  She loves, and lusts after Jeremy Darling, but she can’t be with him because Simon’s holding her bro hostage.  What to do, Nola Lyons, what to do?  Basically she thrashes around in a pond of disaster whilst wearing a fierce white dress and flipping her gorgeous hair.

We’re okay with that.

Speaking of gorgeous.  Simon is working overtime as the manipulative mastermind behind Nola’s evil deeds.  We love that Simon Elder is an eco friendly villain.  He’s like a demented Captain Planet. Captain Planet was the bomb dot com.  So when, Blair Underwood growls:

“Do you have any idea what it would mean if I could manufacture a clean untoxic biofuel right here on an American soil?”

We get a chill on our skin and a smile in our heart.  We want him to stop being such a Dirty Sexy Douche Bag, but at the same time . . . waita do what it takes to save the earth, Simon; Go Green!  

In a Passions twist this week, Brian Darling makes a deal with God.  He straight up goes to the church altar and says he’ll do anything if his baby’s mother survives her bout with cancer.  Anything.  Miraculously, she begins to recover.  And sinner Brian returns to the priesthood.  Even though he’s now married.  Never mind the details, we guess.

The really big news though, is Patrick Darling’s inauguration as Senator.  Everyone’s amped and ready for Patty to be sworn in, even Carmelita, Patrick’s favorite tranny might come.  But then (dun-dun-Dun), Patrick’s dead wife’s brother shows up packing heat.  Nick George tackle’s the crazy brother in law, but he’s overcome by the brother’s psycho strength.  Shots are fired . . . and, scene!  To be continued.

    Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

    Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

    Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.

    Ben Kallen is an entertainment, health and humor writer who's been lectured to by Sidney Poitier, argued with by Lea Thompson and smiled at by Jennifer Connelly. He's the coauthor of The No S Diet and author of The Year in Weird, along with hundreds of magazine articles. He lives near the beach in Los Angeles, just like the gang from Three's Company.

    Nicole Ankowski has lived in Ohio, Oakland, and on the high plains of South Dakota, but is now proud to call Brooklyn home. She wrote for alternative weekly papers in the first two states, and tried to learn Lakota in the last. (The vowels can be tricky.) She just earned her MFA in Creative Writing and has been published in Beeswax literary journal. She is unable to resist good writing or bad TV.
