And chocolate ballet slippers! And salmon. And smoking.

Also; enormous globes, rare and valuable pianoes, and valuable postage stamps

I really like this book! The "in" obsession that Esme has is awesome... I like the bilboards with photographs of weasels on them a lot hehe. In this book, you begin to find out more about connections between VFD and the Baudelaires.

...any more than he was listening to automobile tires, cross country skiing, movies with waterfalls in them, and the rest of the things Esmé was rattling off.
"Oh, and magenta wallpaper!" Esmé said..."And triangular picture frames, and very fancy doilies, and garbage cans with letters of the alphabet stenciled all over them and-"

Perhaps the mention of triangular picture frames foreshadowed Fiona's triangular glasses. Is this a coincidence? Is there a connection between Esme and Fiona?

I doubt it myself, but if you can come up with a plausible theory... *shrug*

It's definitely possible, considering Esme's boyfriend, maybe even Esme herself, is or was in V.F.D. along with Fiona's stepfather. So there's some connection there.

Well, Esmé tells Fiona that she (Esmé) and her (Fiona's) mother were close friends at school, and she (Fiona's mother) would have wanted Esmé to have the ruby ring that Olaf found in a small jewelry box on the Queequeg. But this is almost undoubtedly spurious.

Olaf and Widdershins were definitely in V.F.D., and probably Fiona's mother, but I hold the theory myself that Esmé wasn't "legitimately" a volunteer, and instead Olaf recruited her after he had splintered off. This would explain why she did not have a tattoo - although one could also surmise that it's just that she is younger than Olaf and Lemony et cetera and entered V.F.D. after they gave up permanently marking their members.
Although they gave it up partly because of the doings of Olaf, and she's not that much younger than him, so it's unlikely - although there is the whole thing with the members of V.F.D. starting young and accomplishing much as children, as per the example of Gustav Sebald.
Meh. I can never stay on topic.

[Lemony Snicket]

Yes I too found the 6th book highly amusing however, I stand my ground when I say that the 'Wide Window' for me was most enjoyable. I was quite pleased with the personality Aunt Josephine was given and think it to be irrationally hilarious.

I heard cats are in-dogs are out.

I found the sixth book rather dull. Infact, it went from my favorite book the first time to being my least favorite (besides the 4th book) this last time I read it. Visa versa w/ the Vile Village, disliked that book: now I LOVE it!
