Thank you, Sandra Crook, for the beautiful photograph and thank you to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields for Friday Fictioneers
They held the film premiere after party in this beautiful place in Beziers, France. A huge room of recognizable faces.
But I won the heart of a pretty little stranger who invited me into her room and into her bed.
Can you believe it? She charged me a thousand bucks!
I don’t carry cash. I told her to get lost.
I told her I am the creator of the book that made the picture. “Yeah,” she said “and I’m Calamity Jane”. She whipped a pistol from her purse and aimed it at my brand new veneers.
Luckily she took plastic.
That is a terrible pun, Jilly, but a fun story

Dear Jilly,
I can’t help laughing. In light of the lech’s in the news these days, I’d say he’s paying a fair price. You made me laugh.
Shalom,

Ha ha. I once read an article in Cosmopolitan by a girl who accidentally got into this particular profession. She was doing some kind of hostessing thing at a motor show, a gentleman came back to her room and when she woke up he’d left two hundred pounds on the night table.

Great story, Jilly. I would like to think that since he’s a writer embroiled in this movie scene, that he was an innocent being fleeced by the system, and she is clearly leading him away. He sounds like a lamb being fleeced by the wolf.
Best wishes,
Rowena

He’ll be up for public appearances after all he is the creator of the book that made the picture. He’ll need his teeth in the right place. π
