When I arrive in the office Jorge and Chris are already engrossed in conversation. “Glad you could finally make it.” Chris says in a good-natured teasing tone and I’m about to apologize for being forty minutes late until I realize I’m still holding my kale and fruit smoothie. “Take a seat.” Chris says ushering me […]
How Do You Want It?
“This is the fuckin’ life.” I shout at Mike who’s still nursing a beer. He responds with a nonchalant shrug, followed by a long hard slug. Shame Kris had to bounce early but at least he left a nice hefty tab at the bar.Fuck Scarface! You don’t need money or the power to get the […]
Bison Viagra
“What do you mean you’re doing your best?” I roar into my cellphone.“Things are tough across the board Rick. Don’t you read the papers? James fuckin’ Bond can’t even get past pre-production because of financing and you’re already on busting my balls.”“So how come both Jordan and Cassidy are cleaning up?”“They’re in different market segments. […]
Bedroom Serial Killer
“Ricki baby.” She says in that voice knowing well what she wants and damn certain I’m not going to give it to her. I ain’t got it in in over three weeks but she can literally go fuck herself. I try to feign sleep as she blows into my ear, the smell of celebration still […]
El Dumpo Fiasco
“Leave me the fuck alone Dillon,” I say trying to swat the camera away.“I’m just trying to do my job Tori.” He says pissed off at me for invading his space.It’s bad enough having a bad day without the cameras buzzing around your shit like a fly. This is now the second premier model agency […]

“Fair play Jordan,” Mick says raising his glass of beah, “you really deserve it.”The rest of the table follows suit with empty praise except faw Rick who continues to shovel pasta into his face. I tuck into my steak and am pleasantly surprised by its rich full flavaw. In fact the whole spread so fah […]
Merp
When I awake I’m a scrunchy mess in the beanbag and Leanne keeps telling me the time like a broken clock. I check my watch which says 08.35. Ugh my head. SHIT 08.35. I quickly jump to my feet but my eight-inch stilettos suggest otherwise throwing me face first back into the beanbag.“Shit Leanne why […]
No Matter What You Do
I’m not so much glad to be in the studio as much as I am relieved to be out of the house. Everything’s so absorbed by drama; Cassy crying because someone drank the last of the soya milk, Tori smashing a plate because she was asked to clean up after herself, Kelly always screaming cause […]
Myoho Renge Kyo
I step onto the scales and today’s moment of truth reveals 187lbs.“Joder!”I’m actually up two pounds since yesterday and seventeen away from making weight. I check my phone’s calendar which confirms my fight with Ramirez is less than three weeks away. It’s that fuckin’ Cassidy and her incessant feeding. “Here Jorge have some cake, a […]
Bitch & Moan
The door slams and with it my respite from the drama. So much for the luck o’ the Irish. I think Mike could have shat gold and she’d still have that pissy look etched across her face. I watch her stomp and slam across the kitchen, each move punctuated with her favorite child-like pout or […]
