Patty Bouvier
Patty Bouvier (voiced by Julie Kavner), a fictional character on The Simpsons, is one of Marge's two cynical chain-smoking sisters (the other is Selma). She works at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and has a strong dislike for Homer.
It is not easy to distinguish the twins from each other. This table may help:
| Patty | Selma | |
|---|---|---|
| Necklace pearls | circular | oval |
| Earrings | triangular | s-shaped |
| Hair | undivided | divided |
A quicker mnemonic device: The sister whose earrings are two triangles is Patty.
Despite being identical twins, Patty and Selma Bouvier have had very different track records when it comes to finding dates. Patty once had a brief fling with Seymour Skinner, while Selma has been married three times.
According to Marge, Patty chose a life of celibacy, while Selma had celibacy thrust upon her. Several episodes have hinted that Patty is a lesbian.
