Love the first line. The rest is a bit wordy.
Welcome back. |

I think my version reads better. You may use it if you wish. If it's made into a film, however, a stipulation for its use is that you buy me a ticket, or at least the video. Dear Agent, Twenty-five-year-old Lily Russell McGonnigle moved to London, England, to make a fresh start as a paperclip saleslady. She’s managed to land a job, but finds the job quite challenging, even though she is out of shape and fat. Despite taking ballet lessons while wearing a moo-moo, being out of shape and being fat does not deter this wannabe dancer, who believes what she’s really destined to do is dance at the world-class X-Girls-XXX Club this coming Sunday night. Jeremy, Bob, Jose, Carlos, William, and Teresa – being Lily Russell McGonnigle’s ex-lovers last week - all scheme to steal her moo-moo, but they are thwarted by the Security Guards, who also have designs on her moo-moo. Then one day, while disguised as a hobo riding the rails, Lily Russell McGonnigle meets a boxer with cauliflower ears, an 89-year-old who is also pursuing a dream of his own. As well as being a hunk, Lily Russell McGonnigle thinks Edmund is also a hunk, someone who might be able to help straighten out her delusional thinking as a former paperclip saleslady turned topless moo-moo dancer. While practicing the Samba, she falls for Edmund; but, in falling, she breaks her left leg. While convalescing, she meets Dr. Penzdance, a former dancer at an all-male bottom-less club, but who is now a world-renowned Doctor. Talk about a happy ending! I can write more, if you need it. Just say the word. But don't forget my ticket! Or video! Last edited by Dr. Drib; 11-23-2015 at 09:02 AM. |
