I don't even believe she's read 20 books.
Oh, I can believe she has; it's just that most of them were assigned to her in high school, or are low-reach YA/massive bestseller stuff, or were made into movies that she saw before reading the book (I doubt she's read
WIcked; that would be a stretch for her). I'll bet she's read the Twilight books, and Harry Potter. That she loved
The Notebook? That's totally in-character.
I'm surprised she loved
Memoirs of a Geisha so much, but I remember it as being a good page-turner—the kind of book where the plot just keeps moving on at a decent clip, the setting is fascinating, and it never bogs down. It's also the sort of "oppressed woman" narrative she likes (see:
The Handmaid's Tale). And now I wonder if she's ever tried reading
The Mists of Avalon, because that would be right up her alley.
Even Evie Noor, who is the most obviously retarded deathfat on this forum, reads; she hauled all of her Twilight books cross-country with her (but left her shower chair). Which is why I have no trouble imagining that Polissa reads, too—maybe not a lot, and maybe it's a lot of trash she doesn't want to admit to, but she does at least read. It's what stupid girls who want to look smart do (see: Amberlynn; Corissa).
Times are tough right now and I bet you could do good numbers with a social media account doing short videos on how to do low cost/no cost christmas things.
There is a crapton of videos on YouTube about making Christmas decor from recycled materials—a couple of cardboard boxes and a few newspapers, a discarded book, junk mail and clean food packaging–you can go a long way with just those. As somebody who makes batches of handmade ornaments every year, I know firsthand how dirt-cheap it can be if you're a creative recycler; most years, a <$20 gallon of white glue or a <$25 quart of varnish is my single biggest expense. Polissa already has paints, and most importantly she has time, so she's at a huge advantage over most poorfags.
But it's not that Polissa can't...
A fat matronly southern woman would be a great persona for it too. Two minute clips on making low cost comfort food, or decorating a tree with nieces and nephews could tap into a sense of family and community.
Polissa's brain just doesn't work that way. She's a childish, self-absorbed hambeast who thinks others should be doing nice things for her at Christmas. So thinking about how she could use her abundant free time to make it nice for others? Not gonna happen. And she has a terrible personality; her smugness and determination to lecture others keep elbowing their way to the foreground.
An aura of condescension was always Martha Stewart's worst fault, but you had to admit she was formidably skilled and well-organized. Coming from an abject loser like Polissa? Nobody's going to tolerate it.
