But who cares about advertising crises when you can play tennis in the Hamptons? A Serena-ified Yoga tries to lure Claire onto the court, but she's too busy pouring herself cocktails and making up her mind to turn herself in. She breaks the news to Yoga by telling her the south of France might not be such a good idea, and Yoga replies that she's glad to hear Claire say that, because at the Piano Man's wine tasting, everyone said that Positano is the new Monaco. I knew Billy Joel was back on the sauce! Claire says that Daniel and Alexis still need her, and Yoga says that, in fact, she needs Claire, who is much more likely to have friends with an empty villa. But Claire can't be swayed. Yoga then wants to soothe her nerves by stealing stuff from their unknowing hosts. Diddy is going to be pissed when he finds his stuff is missing.
Back at Mode, Christina gives Betty the advice that she needs to start dating again as she measures the buttocks of a scantily clad male model. She really has the best job. Betty points out that you can't alter underwear, but Christina whispers that the models never catch on. She then suggests that Betty look online at Bachelocity.com. Betty, in assessing her own desperation, goes into a little fantasy sequence where she sees Henry in his boxer-briefs looking down on her from a podium of well-hung judgment. Hooya, is he packing some heat under those pocket protectors. Betty agrees that the internet might be the way to go as we head to commercials.
When we return, Betty's filling out her online profile, and Christina chides her for listing "donuts" rather than sex as something she can't live without. You get five spots, so I'd list sex AND donuts, and then donuts after sex. Christina tells her that people only pay attention to the photo anyway, and does a little shoot with Betty. It isn't going so well, and Amanda tries to give her some pointers, noting that guys don't make passes at girls who are fat. Hey, remember how Amanda was fat for a minute? Have some sympathy, hoss! Amanda tries to pass off a box with a sandwich in it as the Jimmy Choos she borrowed, and as Betty excitedly screams, "Ham!" Christina gets the profile photo of Betty's dreams. Well, the dreams that don't involve ham, which I suspect are few.
Meanwhile, Wili continues on her path to ruin Mode by telling Marc to go downstairs and supervise the Valentino shoot, which involves men in underwear. Nice work with the eye candy this week, show! Marc is happy, even though this means that Wili finds him incompetent. At the shoot, Marc starts to banter with the schlubby Seth Rogen-esque photographer, who finds it amusing that Marc slaps his own ass so hard that it hurts himself. I do this ALL THE TIME. I'm just always slapping my ass to make a point and getting a little overzealous. The photographer is Cliff St. Paul, and he gives a cute little smirk of interest as Marc heads off to set a model's underwear right side out. And I have to say...squeeeeeeeeeeee! Ah, I already want to be the ham in the middle of a Marc/Cliff sandwich.
