That is, a hot mama behind a rope with a Mazarati. She looked bored. No one dared approach her. How lonely, I thought. The parked car was actually alienating her from onlookers. It was too awkward a site in the middle of the terminal. However, she served her purpose - to be a living, breathing symbol of DESIRE - <BR/>I mean, the car was hot, but nothing compares to the heat of live flesh. Objects can't sell themselves. So too with the money laundering. Your friend was more intrigued by her than by her "performance", like you said, but that seems to be part of the work. You can't separate the dance from the dancer, right? <BR/>If the grizzled old guy were at all appealing, he might get some cash.
