And then, there is some Gina Gershon to be had. Marc says, "Crazy in roadkill, two o'clock." It's Fabia, in a leopard-print dress with a yellow fur leopard-print coat. Marc tries to stop Fabia from entering Wilhelmina's office, to no avail. She enters and says that she loves Wili's assistant: "I have the same one in beige." Wili says she's surprised to see Fabia, given that she can usually smell her from the lobby. Fabia says that, given that she's donated $20,000 worth of cosmetics for the Mode show gift bags, she thought Wili could at least take her to lunch. Wili says she'd love to, but that she can't. She's swamped, and she's also getting a promotion. She says that Fabia is looking at the soon-to-be-crowned Editor-In-Chief of Mode. Spilling the beans a little early, there, aren't we? Fabia looks in another direction and screams at a dress that's hanging on a headless mannequin. Maybe Fabia's having a flashback of eating the mannequin's head? Maybe Gina Gershon is reminiscing about her own performance in Showgirls? We may never know. Fabia asks if the dress is "Eduardo." Wili says it is, and that she's wearing it to the Mode show. Fabia freaks out: Eduardo promised the dress to her, and she even made a matching ensemble for her little Chihuahua. Awwww, doggie. You know, I have to say that, for me, Gina Gershon has been coasting on a lot of goodwill from Bound, but I finally have to admit that she might just be kind of terrible. Wili suggests that Fabia call up Eduardo and see if she can get another one, and Fabia asks if they're supposed to be the older, bitchier, mixed-race version of the Olsen twins. (I added some of those adjectives.) Fabia says that maybe it will look better on a plus-sized figure anyway. Heh. Wili says, "Silly little delusional Fabia," adding that she's sure Fabia and her little bitch will look fabulous in anything. She looks at Fabia's face and says that it's flawless; she then looks closer and says it really is flawless. She asks who did Fabia's eyes -- was it Shapiro? Fabia says that she's had no work done. Wili says that there's enough leftover skin from Fabia's surgeries to make a bed for her cat. There's something about the specificity of that that just really grosses me out. Fabia says that it's not surgery, it's duck sauce. To be more specific, it's the sauce from a man duck. Yes, that sauce. There's a Dr. Wong on Spring Street who gives Fabia man duck injections, and poof! Ten years gone. She tells Wili that she can look sixty-five again, which is in fact a great line worthy of The Golden Girls. Wili says that, as lovely as that sounds, she's a few years away from "having a duck quack off" in her face. Insert Ted joke here. Fabia says, "Whatever you say. Goodbye...Wrinklemina." Once she's gone, Wili immediately calls for Marc, who is already on Dr. Wong. Not literally, though.
