“Oh” This, Pandy wasn’t expecting “You didn’t have to do that”
“Oh, yes I did” SondraBeth raised her glass of cha you Fuck Hollywood”
Pandy laughed and sat down “Is it really that bad?”
SondraBeth hooted, plopping into the chair next to Pandy and resting her boots on the table “It’s just like in the movies,” she said with a sneer
“How do you know PP, anyway?” Pandy asked casually
“You mean…” SondraBeth leaned back in her chair, and suddenly she was PP, right down to the way he yawned ever so slightly before he dropped his arms from behind his head
“You mean that PP?” she asked
“How do you do that?” Pandy cooed with appropriate awe
SondraBeth shrugged “I can imitate anyone Always could, ever since I was a kid When you grow up on a cattle ranch in Montana—” She broke off and chuckled, waggling her fingers at Pandy “For a while, I actually wanted to be a stand-up comic Like Ellen Can you believe it?” She raised her eyebrows, as if this idea was now impossible to contemplate “But then I discovered it’s a helluva lot easier to stand in front of a camera, where all anyone wants you to do is look ‘purty’ Besides, the first thing you learn as a woot to choose: pretty or funny Because no one will let you be both”
“Wow,” Pandy said
“I know,” SondraBeth replied, lifting one leg and tugging on the heel of her cowboy boot “As a ested the , I almost said no I mean, why bother? Lee in Hollywood knows PP You could say he’s ‘dated’ a few friends of ed everything”
She yanked off the boot and expertly tossed it through the open door and right into the kitchen sink “I was on the girls’ basketball team And the baseball team I probably would have been on the football team if they would’ve let me”
“You don’t say,” Pandy replied adly It was no wonder, she decided, that SondraBeth was having a hard tieous creature with the tomboy attitude
“Anyway,” SondraBeth continued, taking off her other boot “I didn’t mean to iuys in LA At least he’s interested in ood At least he doesn’t have to wake up in thea vampire’”
Pandy laughed “So did you sleep with him or not? And if you did, hoas he?”
