My Mummy is a Star

What does $50 really buy you these days? Honestly? If you're me, it buys you the heel of a Loeffler Randall boot, lunch at Neiman's Rotunda restaurant, and a happy visit to the iTunes Music Store. If you're my miraculous Mummy, it buys her voice.

That's right, folks, you heard me correctly. American Express UK paid my talented Momma $50 to record the voice directions on their customer service hotline...you know, the 'press 9 for technical assitance' voice. Apparently my rantings about locating a human voice within corporate 800-number hell no longer hold water since my very own mother is clearly human and clearly speaking to you when you ring American Express customer support.

So exciting! Call now! 011 44 1273 576 576.
