I saw your girl blow away an industry audience doing a "bit part"! Today I come in and the phone's so hot you could sterilize a flake spoon on it! Suddenly, the word's out - your chick is stratosphere city1 The pictures not even in sneaks yet, and everyone in the press wants a piece of her! And not just tabloids, my friend, I'm talking major glossies! Woman: Excuse me, sir. "Moist" magazine on line two. Sid: See! What'd I tell you? It's happening, babe! Can't you feel it?
