Naomi thinks Szuszu's post is hilarious -- what a great sense of humor! She can hardly believe the centrefold she stole from her dad's collection way back in the day is looking for love. It's not like her to answer a personal ad, but for the infamous Szuszu she'll make an exception. She thinks Szuszu looks fantastic, and Szuszu (who refuses to wear her glasses) thinks Naomi looks just like her. What could ensue but sex, love, and a whole lot of comedy?

Szuszu used to be a famous model. Now she lives out her days in one big blurry scotch induced haze. Her long time bff Babette has been her best buddy, her partner and crutch through thick and thin. But Babette is married and Szuszu is lonely. When Babette – on the brink of leaving for 6 months to go on an extended second honeymoon – jokingly writes a snide wanted ad for her best friend they could never have realized that young Naomi would answer it.
The two women hook up for all the wrong reasons. Szuszu is too drunk to really know what is going on in her life and Naomi, well… Naomi is finally fulfilling a fantasy of sleeping with the woman who has been her sole focus since her sexual awakening. Unbeknown to Naomi, Szuszu (blind as a bat because she always refused wearing glasses) thinks her young lover looks exactly like her. A mini-me as it were because the ad had stated that she was looking for someone exactly like her. In reality Naomi has struggled with her weight all her life and has some serious self-esteem problems.
But in the 6 months they are together they are good for each other. Szuszu has finally someone who really listens to her, who cooks her healthy meals, who makes her drink less and less, who loves her passionately. And Naomi is happy, loses weight because she snacks less, gains confidence. But then Babette is coming home. Will she like the new Szuszu?
Narcissist Seeks Narcissist is funny and poignant at the same time. A wonderful little story about two very different people finding love and how it changes both of them for the better.
f/f explicit
Themes: Szuszu is basically Patsy from AbFab, funny and poignant, oh that nasty little queen in chapter one, there were some funny lines in this one, bravo Miss Renarde!

Szuszu lives in the past of her glory days as a model. When Babette goes on vacation she places a personal ad in the paper so Szuszu will have someone to love her for the 6 months that Babette and her wife are on vacation. Naomi answers Szuszu’s ad and Szuszu believes that Naomi looks like she did in her modeling days. As they pursue their relationship Szuszu cannot understand why Naomi cannot see herself as Szuszu does, beautiful and young and a double of Szuszu in Giselle Renarde’s NARCISSIST SEEKS NARCISSIST.
I love Szuszu. She sees the world through rose-colored glasses and glasses of bourbon. As Naomi becomes more important in Szuszu life secrets are revealed and life changes for Szuszu. For once she has someone who truly cares for her looking after her and out for her. The dynamics between Szuszu and Naomi open up a new world for both of them. When Babette returns from vacation and sees how Szuszu has changed, she goes after Naomi wanting to ruin what is between Szuszu and Naomi. Naomi fights her though. Szuszu’s secret comes to light and she now sees clearly. It is when Szuszu sees clearly that she realizes how much the past had crippled her and she refuses to lose Naomi because she is finally free to be herself and accepting of herself and Naomi.
NARCISSIST SEEKS NARCISSIST is beautiful, poignant tale. Szuszu may be blind to what occurs in her life but once she sees the changes Naomi has wrought in her she does not want to go back. I loved that scene and how Szuszu and Naomi stood together and became a stronger couple because of it. -
This is a funny short story about a former model named Szuszu who wastes her days drinking scotch. After her best friend places a silly personal ad in the paper, she meets Naomi. She is convinced that Naomi looks just like she did when she was young. The two begin a relationship and Szuszu starts really thinking about her past and why she is the way that she is.
Over the course of their six month relationship, both women become more comfortable with their bodies and who they are as people. Then Szuszu reveals that she has a problem.
When her friend returns, she immediately attacks Naomi because she doesn't like the way she looks and she doesn't like the changes that she sees in Szuszu. I like that Naomi stood up for herself, Szuszu and their relationship. The ending was nice. I really like the underlying theme of self acceptance.
I recommend this to fans of lesbian short stories. -
Funny...
Yet emotional with someone who doesn't really see or like themself much. I'm glad it has a happy ending. I didn't like the main character until the climax at the end of the story. -
Definitely some truly bitchy women.
