Elsie I

Elsie Merger regularly asserts that children need to be raised in a creative environment. Elsie Merger also regularly practices questionable parenting skills. She will often serve Penelope, her daughter, English muffins with caviar for breakfast. Whenever Penelope protests, Elsie tells her that the porcelain dish with gilded imperial bees she is serving the said caviar from came from Josephine Bonaparte’s, yes, that Josephine’s trousseau, and if she doesn’t appreciate it, she could just serve it to the cats outside and go hungry until lunch, which will probably consist of another Black Sea beluga so she might as well shut up and develop a taste for it.
Elsie doesn’t need to work since her maternal grandfather, Henry Borden, made a fortune from inventing condensed milk and the Lazy Susan Table. 9 to 5 was never an option for our heroin, but she does co-own an art gallery that runs in 3 installments along a narrow alley off of Fremont’s main drag. She has carried on several numerous and sanguine affairs with various artists whose work she exhibited. Elsie wears false eyelashes and little else make up. She claims that Edie Sedgwick and her were close friends, and that someday she will write a memoir about all the crazy nights they had spent at the Chelsea hotel.
