Oh please, let it be brave little Shakespeare in the handbag.

 

 

 

Is this what her dress looks like?  If not, can Nikita wear it?  

 

Shakespeare Homer is wrapping his present and I am ironing the cash - Commando Reggie wouldn't like wrinkled bills.

[ok..for this episode, we can all add to the story until midnight tonight.  CR will try to respond to all if she will be gracious enough to do so.]

 

Mad Max and Commando Reggie attend the par-tay.  Commando Reggie, as usual, enters with her customary panache.  The room explodes in applause as was stated in the invitations to do so. 

 

Commando reggie:" Yes Max my little sidekick.  You have done well.  I wonder what gifts these hoomans have brought for me."

 

Max:" They are aware that all gifts must be worthy of you."

 

The local Kalahari Desert Press has a photographer snapping photos for the special edition paper going out tomorrow.  The photographer already has the captions in mind he will use.  The par-tay photos in the society pages will bear these captions:

 

Mad Max was very handsome in his evening attire.

 

 

 

 

 

And Commando Reggie was stunning in her little black dress...

 

 

 

Tosca: "I willl consider it."  She bows, and moves on so the next guest can greet CR.  

The next guest to bring his offerings is TW's fake boyfriend Kenny Chesney.  He bows down before her grace and making sure not to make eye contact with her says:

 

"Oh great Commando reggie.  I offer you my country music award as you are more deserving of it than any other as your voice is like the song of angels."

 

 

 

 

 

Commando Reggie:" You may arise hooman.  Yes I will take this offering as it pleases me to let my hooman mommy TW know I have something of yours she cannot have.  NEXT!"

 

Bowing once again, Kenny Chesney exits her presence.

As the guests offer their gifts to CR, upon leaving her presence, they must go thru the gauntlet where everyone has to get 9 purple nurples for her age and one to grow on. 

Tosca turns to Daisy who has just swept in:  "Have youever seen guests treated so disgracefully?   I think when Nikita gets here, there is going to be another 5th Paw event."

 

Daisy shakes her ostrich plumes: "Sis, I think you are right."

Suddenly a flock of photographers start surrounding the entrance.  It is The Queen!!!  Wow!! She is gracefully striding towards line of well wishers.  CR sees her and gives her a royal high 5. 

 

Commando Reggie:" Yo, Liz!!  How are you?  You do not need to stand in line to greet me.  We're cool.  Lackeies! Give The Queen a drink."

 

The Queen:" Well wishes on your birthday CR!  Cheers!"

 

 

 

The Queen:" Oh my stars.  This puff adder punch really packs a proverbial wollop if I do say so myself."

Grog and Slew wander over.

Grog:" Having been at court before and becoming a close friend of the family, I can tell you this much about her purse.  Takes a deep breath then begins talking:

 

Her Majesty does use her handbag as a security blanket. She carries it with her throughout the day as she moves from one room of the palace to another. She is rarely photographed without a handbag. All tables and her desk at Buckingham Palace and other royal residences are equipped with special hooks on which the Queen may hang her ubiquitous handbag. Finally, the Queen never uses a shoulder bag or clutch bag as these make shaking hands and accepting flowers awkward.

It's not only what's inside the monarch's bags that is significant, but the bag itself, for she uses it to communicate with her staff in a very subtle manner. Before dining with the Queen, a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top. On walkabouts, she holds the bag to one side to show she intends to move on, at which point a lady-in-waiting joins the conversation, allowing her to slip away without causing offence. When at a banquet, if the Queen's bag is placed on the floor, then it's a sign that she's not finding the conversation interesting, and wants nothing more than to escape. However, if the royal bag is dangling happily from the crook of her left arm, she is happy and relaxed.

The Queen carries a comb, a handkerchief, a small gold compact, and a tube of lipstick in her handbag. The Queen does carry money on Sundays--a folded note of unknown denomination which she discreetly places in the collection plate. One thing that can always be found in the Queen's handbags is an S-shaped metal meat hook that she places on the dinner table's edge to suspend her bag from so that it doesn't touch the floor.

Also to be found inside is a collection of good luck charms, including miniature dogs, horses, saddles and horsewhips - most of them gifts from her children, reports the Daily Express. Family photos are also present, the most treasured of which is a snap of Prince Andrew, from when he returned from the Falklands in 1982. Other things that the Queen never goes without are her mints, chocolate drops for her beloved corgis and a couple of crosswords, which her servants snip out of the papers for her. Also ever present is the metal make-up case, made by Prince Philip and presented to her as a wedding gift 60 years ago.

 

The Slew:" But of course there is one other special item that noone else knows about.  Not even the king.  But CR says she has been promised to see it tonight."

 

 

The par-tay is starting to wind down.  CR is pleased with her gifts even though she claims they disgust her.  The Queen goes over to her and whispers in her ear.  They go to a private area of the room.  The Queen opens her handbag to show Commando Reggie her most prized possession ever:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daisy: "Well, I just don't believe it!" 

Will Commando Reggie look at Mad Max in a different way?  Will Mad Max ever get her off her mind?  Will Grog and Slew ask the ladies to dance since obviously CR's attention is held elsewhere?  Will The Queen realize she brought the wrong handbag to the par-tay and fess up it was not what she wanted to show CR?  And,...will we ever see the contents of That other bag in future stories?  Tune in next season for the real answers to most of these questions in the next seasons episode of....................COMMANDO REGGIE...The Series!!!

 

Happy Birthday sweetheart...love mom TW

Happy Birthday Commando Reggie and many more... Mad Max's momma Witty...
