So on Friends Friday I'm going to post WHATEVER I want about Friends. I've seen every episode of Friends at least a million times and it's a show I pretty much watch daily- lately I've been watching it pretty much all day... so there are things I pick up on. Sure the episodes are still the same as they've always been... but I change every time I watch an episode. So with that... let's do a little bit of a Phoebe Buffay Appreciation Post!
So aside from my personal connection with Phoebe- She really is a talented person! Her main job is a masseuse... but she also taught herself guitar and she does art work... and that includes her masterpieces Gladys and Glynnis.
Phoebe might be my favorite Friend. It has switched a lot over the years... but I feel like if you asked someone that knew me which friend I was most like... they'd probably say Phoebe. In fact I'm pretty sure my roommate my sophomore year of college said "Yeah, you're definitely a Phoebe" and I don't think she knew me that well really... but she lived with me and I appreciated the thought of her thinking me like a Phoebe.
So aside from my personal connection with Phoebe- She really is a talented person! Her main job is a masseuse... but she also taught herself guitar and she does art work... and that includes her masterpieces Gladys and Glynnis.

So Gladys and Glynnis are 2 paintings Phoebe made of women coming out of paintings. And they are a little scary- but I think these are really cool. I would put these up in my house- I'm not even going to lie lol. So it looks like these have mannequin pieces- but I think Gladys also has some paper mâché in there too... maybe I'm wrong but for the sake of me making connections- there's some paper mâché in there. These 2 are featured heavily in "The One With Ross's Grant" where Mike and Phoebe get engaged and he makes her get rid of these 2 paintings before he moves in. She gives Gladys to Monica- who then pawns her off on Rachel and the two try to go back and forth with each other and... it's really funny.
Anyway why is the paper mâché so important? Phoebe also has a song that was featured in The One With Joey's New Girlfriend- which is when Phoebe gets sick and has a sexy voice- that is called "Paper Mâché Man" in which the lyrics are "I'm still waiting for my paper mâché man." Are Gladys and Glynnis coming out of the painting because they're waiting for their paper mâché man? Is that why Rachel tells them that they're haunted and they try to haunt Joey? Who knows!
Anyway I just thought this was a fun connection... even if it isn't a connection... I still think Phoebe Buffay may just be the greatest artist of our generation.
Bye!
