You have a onesie? A shower cap? Love the video. SO HAPPY to have a NEW video from you. Many, many thanks.
I too read the article in Reuters and did not believe it. Has anyone called the Manchester Holiday Inn to confirm this silly story? My first thought when I read the title was they would provide someone to cuddle up with you in bed! Eeewwwww.
Re the woman who fell into the Picasso. There’s an even better story along those lines. Google “Nora Ephron + Picasso + Las Vegas”. If that doesn’t work let me know and I’ll email the link to you. It’s about how Steve Winn put his elbow into a $9 million ($90 million?) Picasso painting. I think it’s called “le Reve”? Sorry, I should have checked this out before writing. Duh. It’s the Picasso painting of one of his wives or girlfriends and the top half of her face is a penis. Oy vey. Anyway it’s a funny story.
OK. Now, I’ve done my homework. Google: “Nora Ephron: My Weekend in Vegas”. The Picasso is “Le Reve”. Steve Winn had just sold it for $139 million. Then he put his elbow through it. Oops.
Hehe great video Brigitte, yet again – we’ve missed these!
I should probably post this on the SAM-e website, but your articles are brilliantly written and it’s clear you deserved to win the post; it’s nice to see some genuine positivity that isn’t shrouded in sarcasm!
Keep up the good work!
A onesie!
This video was certainly worth waiting for.

I’m following Your Good-Mood-Blog and appreciate it very much.
But Your videos do have that special ingredience.
Looking forward to Your next posts whenever whereever (is that a legit word?).
Thanks+Good Luck+take a break when You need it, not when You’re already broken.
(words of wisdom
The wait was worth it. Hilarious video, Brigitte. Your re-enactments kinda freaked me out a bit. Have you been watching Silence of the Lambs?
Glad you’re back!
why don’t you laugh about it and see it as an experiment…just as you said, it’s probably not going to work, that’s why we call it….you could make a sketch about, especially the ‘how to tip the human hotty’ and all that – situation could be fun, and is not neccessarily a male sadist paranoia scenery
i mean, when i read something like this i just figure promotion gag and if it’s actually taking place, then i still don’t see any forced prostitution in it. to me it’s always the right people at the right time in the right place.
cheers
For me, the part that would matter most is the gender of the person doing the warming. Being that I am a male I would much prefer to have a female do the warming. It’s kind of like getting a massage. I know that a male massage therapist could do just as well as a female massage therapist but it’s just too weird for me to endure.
And even if I do get a female bed (pre)warmer where’s the hotel’s guarantee that I won’t end up waking up with a long human hair in my mouth in the morning.
This was really funny… creepy to think about… but very funny.
And the off-camera man’s voice part was hilariously weird sounding
That was perfect.
I’m pretty sure “get your feet way down in the corners” is now as equally a disturbing comment as “it puts the lotion in the basket”… *whew* Ok… I’m done laughing now.
The human bed-warmer story is now being reported in Esperanto at Radio Verda (www.radioverda.com , RV159). Apparently there’s an Esperanto word for “human bed warmer”: “litvarmigisto” (literally “person who makes a bed warm”).
I wonder how that service works…do you stay in the room while your bed is being warmed? Does the human bed warmer just lie there silently, or do you make small talk with the human bed warmer while you’re waiting? This is just weird.
Hi,
found your sight after randomly googling emulating Audry. This hot water clip is hilarious. Manchester is on my side of the planet, only a 3 or 4 drive away. It is pig b*stead weather here, but I will NEVER be persuaded to swap my lovely hot water bottle for anything else. Nor would I yet consider it as a good career path, unless they also invent a job title ‘human bed freezer’ for when it gets too hot here in Britain, which, I somehow doubt. Holiday inn must have hit hard times. Well this is the recession.
Kind Regards,
Katie
Please don’t do this experiment!!!
