Is that biss on the table cloth?

It's not my biss.

I don't care whose biss it is!

And he just left a twenty.

Cheap f***er!

He walked out on you?

Just like that?

Were you being outrageous?

I may have been a little outrageous.

This is more than cosmetic

you know that, rig ht?

Make-up can clear blemishes

and stuff...

but not even top of the line

L'Oreal can fix a f***ed-up face.

And what we have here

is a f***ed-up face.

What are you saying?

I'm saying surgery.

You need to go under knife

and kill the fag hag inside.

Yes, okay.

She's gone.

Just snip her out.

She's dead.

Great.

So what are you doing Thursday?

Going outwith... friends.

It's our ritual.

It's your racket.

Are you coachable?

Yes, I'm coachable.

What's happening?

Well, a promoter friend of mine

is launching a new weekly party

Thursdays at Fine Feline.

Want to be my plus-one?

You want me to be your plus-one?

I celebrate diversity, you know that.

Plus I owe you one.

Salome, wow, I'm...

I'm very flattered.

I'm gonna have a table

with bottle service and everything.

Did you know Markus was running

a nursery out of our apartment?

Maybe.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why is nobody talking to me?

It's all on the blog.

And I'm not going to be able

to go out Thursday.

Why not?

Because you're a cock-blocker.

No, Riley.

It's because I'm never gonna

get what I want

if I keep repeating the same

patterns of behavior.

In other words... cock-blocker:

What should I wear on Thursday?

Uh.. okay let me see...

Let the p*ssy out of the bag...

Dress code:
the cattier, the better.

Are you wearing

a f***ing cat suit?

Thank you very much.

Hey Violet!

Here kitty, kitty, kitty

Hey stop!

Where are you going so fast?

Home.

Isn't this the outfit you wore

to the fetish ball...2007?

Good memory.

Yeah, well I always notice you.

Oh, you might be the only one.

Careful!

Do you ever just feel

like you don't belong anywhere?

Hello.

Why do you think

I was so big into heroin.

You're clean now, right?

Yes, two yea rs.

Damn.

Look... Violet...

Before I came here,

before you ever knew me,

no one wanted a thing

to do with me.

I swear, not anyone.

Well, now we have all these

friends and they...

They love us.

They shower us

with all this attention

Yeah, I mean,

that doesn't hurt either:

Well, attention doesn't sleep

with you at night...

well, not with me.

Come here

It's alright.

Sorry.

No, it's not you. It's just...

I'm positive, you know.

It's just kissing.

Some people won't even

share the same spoon.

Some people are stupid.

Ah, I'm stupid.

Why am I kissing a gay boy?

God!

I'm retired.

Retired?

I want to be wanted, Zeus.

It's not fair to me, okay?

This fruit fly is finished.

You have one new frisky friend.

Hi! Salome...

My dad owns the general store

of the Idaho town where I grew up

He expected me ta take it aver,

but I came ta New York

ta became an architect.

I'm Vern and Pd love

to hear your story.

Vern?

Violet!

Hey, are you home?

No.

Can we talk?

No.

Are you on that phone line again?

No!

I need love.

Me too.

I miss Darian.

You try too hard,

women don't do that.

I am just being myself.

Exactly.

Stop it.

Now just close your eyes

and simply ask the universe.

The benevolent universe will

always manifest what you need.

That's not true.

If I fall from a ten-story building,

am I gonna manifest wings?

No. But you can manifest a truckload

of mattresses on the street below.

You watch too many cartoons.

What?

It could happen.

Gerald?

Salome.

How are you gorgeous?

Can I get you a non-fat soy latte?

Yes... what a coincidence.

See Violet, I was just manifesting

a non-fat soy latte.

Fine Feline was major; huh?

So major.

Well, Violet didn't like it.

Not major:

Oh, cat-woman.

Go on Gerald...

Don't forget 16 splendas

and a stir-stick, thanks.

Voila.

Notice my lack of effort?

The lesson here is that the universe

would never tell you to put on

a pleather catsuit...

so don't try so hard next time, ok?

Oh, I'm not going back

to Fine Feline again.

You promised you were coachable.

I'm gonna coach myself.

You can't coach yourself!

You'll never manifest a man

that way.

There's more then one way

to skin a cat.

That's funny... not true.

But funny.

Yeah, when we meet, I'll take

you an a tour of lust gems.

I'm very sentimental when it

comes ta architecture.

I adore sentimental men, Vern.

We'll start with the Roxy.

The Roxy! You've been?

Spanish inspired interior,

the soaring columns,

it's rococo style rotunda

The Roxy had a rococo rotunda?

I really wish I could have seen it.

Oh my gosh,

I used to go all the time.

Haw?

It was demolished in 1961.

The gay club?

No!

The Roxy was a movie palace

Where the Rockettes began.

The high-kicking, showgirl Rockettes?

Originally they were

the Roxy-ettes.

Oh, the Roxy.

You know there's a famous

Life Magazine shot

of Gloria Swanson standing

on the rubble

in a red baa

as they tare it dawn.

Gloria Swanson in a red boa?

I have manifested a fag stag.

You manifested a fag.

Gloria Steinem never wore a boa.

Gloria Swanson.

Vern is straight!

Bradleigh, do straight men

know who Gloria Swanson is?

Norma Desmond?

Only if they're gay.

Come on!

Only gays obsess over faded,

deluded, once beautiful women.

We can relate.

See!

Climax Magazine is here.

Marjorie Max.

Violet, skedaddle.

Gentlemen.

Marjorie!

Right this way.

The inspiration for this season is

punk, Pocahontas and prehistoric.

Clever:
I see we're into alliteration.

This frill must be the prehistoric.

Pterodactyl in heat?

More or less.

Ah, fur. You have no qualms about

killing these cute little critters?

Bradleigh says fur comes from trees.

Fir trees.

Look at me, pretending to care.

I just don't see how it

fits in to my story.

I've seen you in Climax before.

I modeled for the magazine

once, yes.

Oh don't remind me,

long time ago.

It was a matinee idol story?

Yeah.

This mug once was very lucrative.

And perfect for the "Daddy"

in this fall's editorial shot

by Stephen Miser!

Stephen Miser? Oh be still

my beating heart.

What's the story?

I love Daddy!

But I'm not old enough

to be a Daddy.

Tell you what.

You be Climax magazine's Daddy

and I'll give Bradleigh's

prehistoric line some

p-p-p-placement.

Get ready for your close up,

Norma.

Do you have a minute

for the children?

You have got to be kidding me!

Excuse me sir; do you have

a minute for the children?

Baby I'm home.

Jim had a hysterectomy.

Hey Violet is not coming

to your reading,

I think she's boycotting us.

I can't believe I had

to give him a hysterectomy.

It's changed everything.

What?

Jim, in my novel.

Sorry for Jim.

How was your day, honey?

Oh great.

Bradleigh says you can join for

our trip to Taipei in November.

What trip?

Remember Bradleigh won

Designer of the Year in Taiwan?

Right. But, you know in November

I'll be in edits.

Baby, you can bring
