The Hollywood Crowd
The Hollywood Crowd
Aliens descended on Robert Lee County today. Worse than from Mars, they are from Hollywood. Two women, both in their twenties joined the meeting of the housing task force. The first, Mia, wearing faux fur, introduced herself as a developer from California that had moved here to start a nonprofit named Relief Now. She said her colleague was delayed in a Sheraton Hotel valet parking debacle. When asked she was vague about the projects she had worked on, mentioning a project in Boise and some work in California. Mia had moved to Mississippi to help. Eventually her colleague, Ashley, arrived (the valet de-debacled the problem I guess) wearing bell bottom jeans studded with rhinestones and frayed to thousands of fringes at the end. Ashley carried a poodle dressed up in a sweater and booties. The dog’s name was Chica Botica. Mia promised that Relief Now has access to movie stars and capital. She talked about all the great projects they were going to put together. They had already arranged scores of tractor trailer loads of supplies immediately after the hurricane. Their next project was a toy give away.
Slipping into another role, she also promised that she could build new houses for the county at half the price of others. She wanted to set up factories to pre-make walls and other parts of houses. She claimed connections to major supplies of wood and other products. “Pre-fab” did not mean low quality, she explained.
It is hard to say what the locals make of it all. They are unflappably polite. I don’t even know what to make of her. She is totally out of place, but if she can do some good, more power to her. My only advice would be to start by getting an email address that does not end in yahoo.com.
