Not even in his wettest dream.

Let me introduce you to Antonella. Don&#039;t forget to always mantain eye contact, and that cigarettes can be even more detrimental to your health than frequenting tarts.

					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t know why, but Michelle makes my hackles rise. I can&#039;t say if the reason is her preference in pastel colours clothing, or her bubbly public persona, or that when she opens her mouth, one expects a babbling river of nonsense to escape. 

She seems to harbour the wish to be seen as a cloyingly attentive wife. Unfortunately, and despite&#039;s MLP&#039;s efforts, most people find attractive, intelligent women irresistable, whilst airheads tend to be just a fleeting distraction. 

But in all fairness, moulding Michelle into an Alicia Florrick (The Good Wife) may be a tall order, seeing the poor material Kurt (hiya, poison dwarf) has to work with.

Ah well, I suppose that better the Michelle we know, than the Antonella we don&#039;t.]]></description>
