 Watching a particular program nearly everyday with my mother lately, I have come to a conclusion.

Jeeves would adore, I say, ADORE, Martha Stewart.

That is all. I apologize for leaving spam all over the floor, but I had to let that out.

Jeeves and Martha Stewart are my two all time ultimate role models.

*blink* By the broken wicket, you are quick!

WOW. Very true. Martha is a criminal though. However I always thought Jeeves was a bit shady.

[applea.livejournal.com]

But Jeeves is criminal-esq too. D: He knows all kinds of thief tactics, and he frequently gets Bertie to break the law/breaks it himself, and he breaks the law not for some greater good, but for himself/Bertie. And doing it for Bertie in a way is doing it for himself. The difference between him and Martha is Martha got caught. >>

Shady Martha Stewart

Actually, the irony is Martha Stewart was not convicted of insider trading (the charge of securities fraud was thrown out)....she went to jail for obstruction of justice because she refused to cooperate with investigators...which doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it. Innocent of insider trading but guilty of covering it up.

I adore Martha Stewart and I think Jeeves would think of her as his sister in spirit.

By Jove, I think you're on to something!

Just imagine their great conversations about baking, decorating, the best method to iron a gentleman's shirt...swoon

...Bertie sulking in the corner, and the later argument...

"No, Jeeves, I will *not* marry her! Why don't you marry her, if you're so...come back here!"

you, dearest, are incredible...you're so brilliant, I'm inventing a new internet gift

*gives brilliant cookie*

LOL I never thought about it before, but I think you're right. :-)

[baskervwatson.livejournal.com]

But she's a notorious bitch D: I can see the appeal thought, w/ all her skills, but if only she had the spirit of Jamie Oliver or something xD

[salomesensei.livejournal.com]

How hilarious. The question, then, becomes: why do I love Jeeves and hate Martha Stewart. Answer is probably because one is a fictional character written by an astoundingly fabulous comic writer and the other is a real-life money-grubbing modern individual.

[dame-chastain.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

[storyfan.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking he would admire her greatly but would not get on with her at all. That's because they both know exactly how things should be done, but they wouldn't do them the same way.

This is a very amusing observation.

[sky-at-twilight.livejournal.com]

That was my thought. Can you imagine the argument they would have over the appropriate way to fold a napkin?

[mxdp.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I don't think so. I enjoy watching her programs but everything I've seen outside of it, I dunno... She hasn't got half the brains Jeeves got. Plus she dumped Hopkins because he reminded her of Hannibal Lecter :c The criminal stuff is different, too. Jeeves would NEVER get caught for such a crime :)

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

she has a large domestic staff that does all the grunt work and is widely rumored to make Leona Helmsley look like Mother Teresa. Jeeves does everything himself and wouldn't treat anyone badly just because he outranked them. No comparison. also, some of her recipes don't work. Jeeves would never publish a non-functional recipe.

[baskervwatson.livejournal.com]

"Jeeves would never publish a non-functional recipe."

In a nutshell! xD

[kakareen.livejournal.com]

Okay, you all have made good points as to why Jeeves may actually take a *dislike* to her, and I take my lumps masochistically...er, quietly. I still think he'd watch her show religiously.

"Jeeves, be a fellow, would you? I'm having trouble with this dashed techno-whatsit again...Jeeves! I say! I thought you swore off that beazle when that pudding came out wrong!"

"It was a custard, sir. Yes, I did suffer from immense disappointment when Mrs. Stewart toppled from that pedestal upon which I placed her, but the point still remains that I have gotten the occasional note of inspiration from watching her program."

"Stimulates the creative juices, eh?"

"Indeed, sir. Now, I understand that your mobile is causing you some distress, sir?"

"It bally well is, Jeeves! Just look here..."

...

Anyhow, I seem to have stimulated some conversation, and I can be proud of that!

[baskervwatson.livejournal.com]

omgyes. You DO realise you now are going to have to write a fic continuing this, right? -nods eagerly-

Martha Stewart Living

[non-de-plum.livejournal.com]

Reginald Jeeves Living Magazine would probably sell a lot more copies than Milady's Boudoir.

[georgeodowd.livejournal.com]

So since the only context in which I think of Martha Stewart is crocheting... does this mean Jeeves might be seen on the streets in a hand-crafted poncho? :)

I've actually always toyed with the idea of Jeeves turning a hand to clothing, in fact... and somewhere up my sleeve there is a fic about it.
