Vegas was our honeymoon, with a little Hollywood on the side. We're both old fogies - we don't need a lot of hoopla.

My name is Neil McLaughlin, you might remember me from the television show, Bottom's Up. I played Miss McPhee.

You're a model, then. Alright. Animal, vegetable or mineral?

Oh right! I remember Miss McPhee! Which means that you're not old by far. You've got so much life in you.

And you're right. I'm a model. I actually work for Victoria's Secret, modeling their stu products.

As for your question...how about 'other'?

Thank you for the complement, but as one who puts their body up for public viewing (that sounds raunchy, doesn't it!) you know that with each wrinkle and gray hair could mean the death of your career, although truthfully, actors are not as discriminated against as much as women.

Reallllllly? So, if I went on the Victoria Secret's website, I'd see you there?

Good answer. Right. Blond, brunette or redhead?

Ah yes. Grey hairs and wrinkles on men are always looked upon as distinguished features, so you have it lucky, sir. I'm quite aware that my days in the modeling circuit are numbered, although you never know. Perhaps I might end up having the staying power of Heidi Klum! Although that's really pushing it.

You'll see me, alright. For this particular fashion line, most of my shots can be found in the 'Bras' and 'Panties' sections.

I can be anything you want me to be, Mr. McLaughlin. That sounded so wrong, but really, my hair color does change from time to time depending on my particular assignment. My natural color, however, is blonde.

Have you considered your career path for the future? I know it sounds like a long ways away, but it's never to early to make a plan.

Hee. I feel so dirty, looking for pictures of you in your underwear.

Now see! I really do love the Victoria Secrets selection, but they never have anything my size!

Is that you with the red bra that has black piping? Under the 'clearance section' looking all sexy and seductive?

I haven't really considered an alternative career path for myself, not that I think there is much left for me out there once I'm no longer of any use for this particular industry. You know how it is. Once you've established yourself into a certain role, that's pretty much it. For example, I've always loved writing and have once aspired to write novels, yet now I doubt anyone would take a book written by a model (former or current) seriously.

Tee! I do admit the color is quite nice. I am in favor of the sleepwear selection they have to offer, although I think they're just a tad overpriced.

And it appears that you have spotted me under the bra section! There are, and I'm a trifle embarrassed to say this, several gratuitous shots of my backside sporting cheeky panties and hiphuggers. There are times when I have no idea what exactly they're trying to sell here.

Two words - pen name

Woman's wear in general is overpriced, this is coming from somebody who has done a lot of comparison shopping. I got a terrycloth bathrobe from them for Christmas one year - very comfortable.

I'll tell you a not so big secret - a lot of men check out these kinds of ads, and not for the products.

Oh, that's easier said than done, Mr. McLaughlin. I'm going to need more than a catchy pen name to write a novel. I need a good story, and as of now, I have so many ideas that I cannot simply settle on just one.

When it comes to women's wear, however, I think it's some sort of conspiracy. The fashion industry knows what lengths most of us would go through just to impress a man, and overprice our clothes on purpose just to make a profit.

And I'm quite aware of that. Hence why I'm so wary these days of who is replying to me. Just the other day I received a reply to one of my comments from someone I've never met before. One Mr. Hayes. Personally, I believe I'm more comfortable with the thought of him as a nerdy computer geek with the taped glasses than who he actually turned out to be.

A pen name's a start! All kidding aside, you should begin writing anyway... anything... to take your ideas from the nebulous mental platform and give it substance on paper, to arrange your thoughts into words. Otherwise, they're going to simply remain ideas, and so will the dream of writing a book.

You could always go commando?

... dare I ask who did he turn out to be?

If you say so. The task of organizing everything just seems so daunting, as there's just so much in my mind these days. Yet I suppose it would look more manageable once I get everything down on paper. However, would you mind terribly if I should come to you from time to time when I hit writer's block?

And...no. That's more than my job's worth.

As for Sam, he turned out to be anything but a computer nerd. He was very [...] forward and insistent. And confident. I shall leave it at that. It's all quite unsettling, actually.

the journey of many miles begins with a single step. Or something like that. I can't recall the exact quote. I'd be glad to make myself available for advice...that's what I'm best at.

Oh, you might've misunderstood. I didn't mean that you should pose naked, but but protest the cost of woman's underwear, you shouldn't wear any!

Say no more. I think I know what you mean. I'm sorry to hear about your experience.

You're very sweet. Did you know?

Ooof. I can only imagine how much that would chafe me, especially with the coarser fabrics.

I didn't even know computer programmers are capable of acting that way.

Know what?

What kind of fabrics do you wear, woman? Burlap?

Urm. Computer programmers can be desperate people.

Just how sweet you are.

Let's just say that the fabrics used in some women's wear are not exactly the most comfortable.

He didn't seem desperate to me. A little cocksure, but not desperate by all means.

Aw, you're making me blush.

My friend, you might not know, but I often don woman's wear myself. If you think it's hard on you, imagine what it feels on a bloke.

Be thankful you haven't run into the desperate ones, then.
