The Posh Lady (real name unknown; also referred to as the Socialite) is a woman who lives in Springfield. She had the misfortune of walking into two of the pranks played by Homer and Mr. Burns while Homer was working as Burns's "prank monkey".

Description
The Posh Lady appears to be a wealthy woman as she is wearing an expensive Chanel suit; she also speaks with a stereotypical upper-class accent. In spite of the relatively rigid social conventions in which she operates, the Posh Lady shows a bit of common touch as she takes part in "regular people" activities such as going to sporting events and to the zoo. She also defies social convention by seeking out the men's room's facilities when she finds a long line in the ladies' room.
History
The Posh Lady walked into two of Burns's "prank monkey" practical jokes and fainted dead away both times.
Springfield Stadium
Burns had Homer wear a giant diaper in a men's room at Springfield Stadium, then lie on the floor and act like a baby needing to be changed: "I made a boom-boom!" This drew cries of disgust from the other men in the restroom. Just then, the Posh Lady burst in and said, "The line in the ladies' room was far too long, and so I hope you don't mind if I -" She then cut herself off and gasped at the sight of Homer in the diaper. Homer continued with his act: "Baby made a boom-boom!" The Posh Lady exclaimed, "Oh, good heavens!" and fainted on the spot.
Springfield Zoo
At the zoo, Homer and Burns pranked the Panda-Monium! exhibit, which resulted in Homer (disgiused as Sim-Sim, a female panda) being shocked by electrical prods, assaulted by Ping-Ping (the zoo's male panda), and sprayed by skunks. Afterwards, Lisa consoled him as he sat on a bench wearing nothing but a towel and his underwear. Taking Lisa's advice, Homer decided to quit working as a prank monkey and rebuild his self-esteem. Determined to get started, Homer took off his towel and stood up, but as he did so, his underwear caught on the bench and tore away, leaving Homer standing there naked. Just then, the Posh Lady came along and got a full view of Homer. This time, she said, "Good Lord, what a week!" as she fainted.
Behind the Laughter
- The Posh Lady's Chanel suit is the same style as the one that Marge buys (and later alters several times) in "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield".
