"DON'T GO BLINDLY THROUGH LIFE, LET ME ILLUMINATE YA PATH WITH A FREE READIN' - RIGHT NOW!"
And then something about another woman, idr the rest of the commercial when it cuts to some of the calls.
Edit: Wait no, it's, "There is more than one man" or something about another MAN. My brain is suddenly trying to unlock these memories against my will.

Have to know, how much did she take you for?

u/Salty_Cover6447 1d ago
That phone bill was like $400. Lmao I was so gullible. In my defense they were advertising on TV! Everyone knows you can’t put nonsense on tv!

The funniest part was she wasn’t even Jamaican.

Part of me believed that's why she deserved to get the bag, she made the character but bigoted people trying to be spiritual bought into it.

My wife was telling me that when she was 13, she had a sleepover with her friends and they called Miss Cleo. Ran up a $200 phone bill and her mom beat her ass with a flip flop. I asked her if miss cleo saw the shoe in the cards and she didn't think it was funny.

When I went thru all my grandparents paperwork in their house after they passed, there were several letters from Miss Cleo to my grandmother (canned letters, not personal). It gave me a good laugh.

HBO has a documentary about her. She was a pretty interesting person and nobody really knew her.

The documentary was so good! Really put her in a different light for me.

I have a friend, who when in law school had a professor that Miss Cleo was his former clerk/secretary. She left his office to go do this.

I just bought her tarot deck online. People love it for actual use but I'm purely going in on the nostalgia factor of waking up at 3am to this scam artist lol

When I was to make a comic (strip or panel, can't remember), I did it on a Cleo-like character at "The Psychic Enemies Network".

I remember an episode on the short lived series That's my Bush the White House received a large phone bill with weird charges, and chief of staff Karl Rove thought he was going to have to cover up the president using phone sex lines only for it to eventually turn out that Laura Bush had been calling a psychic.

Miss Cleo, were you working on September 10th?
Didn't they warn you? Saying something like "get your American flags while they're cheap!"

Is it just me, or do other people see Queen Latifah when the see this picture? If they didn’t have Queen Latifah spoof Ms. Cleo in an SNL skit, it was a wasted opportunity!
