Awesome!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; oh, and I&#8217;ve got to put this one on there:  I was a lingerie model for one STUPID evening with my good friend Jackie &#8211; at a private party &#8211; a house full of dutiful husbands, there to buy lingerie for their wives.  Jackie&#8217;s cousin worked for a lingerie company or something &#8211; and they do these parties &#8211; like a Tupperware party, only with lingerie.  It is a RIDICULOUS story (if you knew Jackie and I, I mean) and we still HOWL with laughter about it.  The two of us sitting out on the back steps of this gorgeous palatial house, grumpily wearing hundred-dollar lingerie, drinking BUDS from a CAN.  Like &#8211; we were SO the trashy help.
