The chronicles of Bev.
Bev is an interesting creature on the Halfbakery. Her life seems a bit like a novel, the details of which are all needed to understand some of the postings on the Halfbakery. I thought I'd summarize them here for reference.

I first met Bev at the 'bakery bed-in. She's a she, from Portugal, and has nice teeth and hair. She calls me Fifi, [GutPunchLulubies] LuLu, and her assistant Bubu. She has a twin sister who is married to a Sao Paolo tycoon who Bev loaths.

Bev's user page has details of her and Bubu: bwv61 He's her (not very talented) assistant whom she sleeps with. They both smoke(d) like chimneys.

Bev liked smoking so much, she went for the world's record of number of cigarettes smoked simultaneously. In doing so she passed out and nearly died. Bubu brought her to the hospital and she's on oxygen. While in the emergency room, it was found that she had throat polyps from smoking, which were possibly pre-cancerous. She had them removed and they were not.

(added later)
The chronicles of Bev were short. (name witheld), known to me as Bev, passed away on August 30, 2004, 40 minutes before I wrote the above description. She apparently died of nicotine overdose from too many patches, the details of which I know little. You will be missed, Bev.

(this just in)
Word has come in from a reliable source that the Bev incident was likely a hoax.

(new update 8/13/05)
Bev has contacted me through e-mail, requesting her real name be pulled of the blog.
