| Character Profile Of Selma & Patty
Bouvier |
Known as the "Gruesome
Twosome," Patty and Selma Bouvier are Marge Simpson's older, chain-smoking
twin sisters. Patty and Selma both work at Springfield's Department of Motor
Vehicles and share an apartment together at the Spinster City Apartments.
They share a passion for watching the tv show McGyver, smoking cigarettes,
travelling together and of course, ridiculing their brother-in-law, Homer.
Patty and Selma were not very loving sisters to Marge growing up. They used to
make her clean their room and perform their chores, they tormented Marge about
her first day of school and even leaked the news of Marge's pregnancy despite
her asking them not to. Another problem for Marge is that both sisters hate
Homer and are constantly insulting him in front of Marge.
Despite their similarities, Patty and Selma do have their differences.
Selma, the younger twin, is distinguishable from Patty
by the middle part in her hair, her circular shaped earrings, necklace beads
and light-blue dress. Selma has no sense of smell which was a consequence of a
freak bottle-rocket accident. Some of Selma's favorite things include spending
time with her iguana "Jub Jub", smoking her Laramie Hi-Tars and of
course, watching McGyver.
Unlike her twin, Selma has had several romantic relationships and has even been
married three times (though all marriages were unsuccessful and ended in
divorce). Selma's first marrige was to the evil SideShow Bob Terwilliger who
was her prison pen pal. Selma's marriage to Bob ended after he tried to murder
her. Selma was also married to Lionel Hutz briefly. Selma was also married to
actor Troy McClure. Troy married Selma to further his career and image but he
couldn't make himself love Selma. When Selma realized that she was in a
loveless marriage, she dissolved the marriage and returned to live with Jub Jub
and her sister, Patty.

Born two minutes earlier, Patty has had a rough time in the relationship
department. While she did date Principal Seymour Skinner for a short period,
Patty has basically chosen a life of celibacy. Patty loves watching McGyver and
frequently has dreams about Richard Dean Anderson.
Patty smokes Lady Laramie 100's which would probably explain her deep and smoky
voice. Patty wears triangle shaped earrings, an oval beaded necklace and a pink
dress. She also has the ability to grow leg hair quickly and is quite fond of
having her feet rubbed. |
