Strange Pixels

Sure, I know what you think.

The lights, the glamour.

The limos, and the parties.

The shoes…

…my god, the shoes.  But…

…what you don’t see…

…is the sweat.

*smiles

And that’s a good thing.

Sometimes a girl just has to kick back and relax with a good book.

Too bad this isn’t it.

I’m finding it a bit of a plod.

If you know what I mean?

Altered Carbon. Now that was a good read.

Ok. *smiles* I hear you.

I’ll stick to fashion.

M ~ Grady, you have returned.

G ~ Momo, I am so sorr…

M ~ Shhhh, you have gained an honourable scar. Sit with me.

G ~ Hai!

M ~ It is well. I made my play, and it succeeded.  You distracted them perfectly.

G ~ I did what I could. Not knowing your plan was difficult.

M ~ But necessary.  *smiles*  There is much yet to do. Why don’t you pour the sake?

Details and SLurls follow.

*iPhone rings*

*Hi doll, it’s Maddy. Well done on the Suntory shoot. You rocked their world. Yoshi just won’t shut up about you. He said you were SO intense! Look, I know this is your last day in Tokyo. But I just found out that Holger is doing an exhibition in Shibuya. I’ve texted details and a map to your phone. Could you swing by there on your way to Narita, and pick me up a catalogue? I’ll owe you one!*

(But…)

*iPhone signal lost*

(sigh)

*taxi ride to Shibuya*

(Wow, this is some show. Love the pink! And here’s the catalogue too.)

*Excuse Miss? Are you Grady?*

(Why yes, I am.)

*Can I picture take, please? My name Midori.*

(*smiles*, Of course you may, Midori. In front of this lovely green one?)

*Hai!*

(And a closeup? Midori, my middle name is closeup. *smiles*)

*Domo arigato*

(You’re very welcome Midori! So nice to meet you! Please excuse me now, I see a Starbucks across the road, and they have a latte with my name on it!)

…my agent tells me.

“Exciting news Sweetie! Something’s flamed on the Suntory shoot in Tokyo and they need you there yesterday! Can you be at YVR in….um….forty minutes?”

(Oh that’s just GREAT! *rolls eyes* Naomi’s hit someone again.)

“I’ll courier the tickets to the airport for you, it’s the 1640 to Narita. When you arrive tell the Limo to take you into Meguro. You’ll be staying at The Claska. You are writing all this down aren’t you dear?”

(*groans* If I hadn’t just woken up to the phone ringing and had my own personal assistant/slave I would be, yes.)

“Yoshi is going to want to start shooting as soon as you get into town, so you need to be looking fresh when you get there. They are on panic deadline. And don’t forget your cutlets this time.”

(ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME?? The jetlag is going to be brutal!)

“Did I mention this one’s triple rate?”

(…erm…I’ll be out the door in 15.)

“And you will stay away from that Prada-Meinhoff gang this time, won’t you doll? That isn’t an escapade we want to repeat. You have no Idea what it cost to get those pics out of their clutches.”

(It wasn’t my fau…*bites lip*. *sulky voice* oK!)

(It’s a good thing I keep a standby travel pack ready for scrambles like these.)

(Damn, I could use a latte!)

(*sigh* Better not. Can I go back to sleep now?)
