Citations: 2003 Podge Clarke MegaStar (July 11) “Action stations in BB house”: Half-man-half-Vera-Duckworth Lisa went topless in the pool for a drunken dip. Red-blooded male viewers reportedly averted their gaze as the hatchet-faced Welsh whinger unloaded her sauce shelf. 2003 Wyndham King MegaStar (Oct. 7) “Keep it Simpson”: Pausing from a lucrative Ivy League university lecture tour on particle physics to adjust her sauce-shelf, the one-time MegaStar Live guest has been blethering the first thing that comes into her head. 2005 Wyndham King MegaStar (Nov. 11) “Breast wishes, Page 3”: It’s 35 solemn years since “stunning Stephanie Rahn” first submitted her sauce-shelf to the nation’s scrutiny in the Currant Bun. Gawd bless. 2006 Laura Billings Pioneer Press (St. Paul, Minn.) (Feb. 12) “Magazine cover bares truth about actresses”: Johansson seems to have been cast in every third movie made recently, and gets incredible press every time she shows up on the red carpet displaying what the British tabloids refer to as her “sauce shelf.” 2006 [Charlie Marlow] IDontLikeYouInThatWay (Feb. 14) “Justin Timberlake is Waking Up”: Thank you for mentioning Winona Ryder’s sauce shelf. I have been fawning over her since the day she turned 18 (and not one day earier)(except in Europe) and have always wondered why they didn’t get more attention. Large, perky, and on a tiny frame. What’s not to love?
