Author's Notes:
To tell you up front, this is not a "continuation" of the story. I wanted to follow-up on some of the messages I've gotten about this story. Firstly, thank you very much for your kind words and your taking the time to send them to me.

Secondly, the only thanks I need is for you to do your part to make sure that characters like this fade off and are never heard from again.

Lastly, I wanted to share a piece of music with everyone. I heard this on one of my local stations that plays "alternative" music and I almost drove off the road when the "punch line" was delivered. I was sitting on the side of the road laughing so hard I was crying and a cop came up to see what was wrong and I couldn't talk. He gave me a sobriety test (which I passed.)

The song is called "One Thing Swimsuit" by John McCutcheon from his album "Signs of the times." (For those in the USA, he is the one who sang the song used for the US Postal service around the holidays called "Mail myself to you.")

Now. The fun part. The punchline of the song is:
Just one thin swimsuit stands between
The porno star and the beauty queen

The lyrics for the song can be found at:

If you want to hear another song that treats the same subject well, listen to "Beauty Game" by "Garnet Rogers", there's a crappy YouTube video of him performing it but you'll get the meaning of the song pretty darned well.

Again, thank you to everyone. :)
