You’ve Got the Look

December 11, 2003

I asked Virgo to do an audio blog post for me. I wanted her to play some of the tape recording she made of her meeting with the perverted sixty-year-old independent filmmaker who wanted to put her in his movie. She first met him on the street when he came running over and told her how he loved her look. Well, Virgo's no sucker, so she was skeptical. But you never know, so she took his number and did a little research. It turns out that he's a legitimate, well-known, and well-respected filmmaker, so she called him and agreed to meet and discuss it further. But the guy had such a sleazy, creepy vibe that, not only did she tell him she'd only meet him in a public place, but she also kept a tape recorder in her bag during their conversation.

I’m not sure how legal that was, but he said the craziest things to her. Virgo looks a lot younger than she is, so when she ultimately told the guy how old she was, he couldn't hide his disappointment. "Oh. I usually don't date anyone older than twenty." Umm. Who said anything about dating? It was pretty clear that moviemaking was not this old dude's number one priority. But Virgo was so fascinated by his whole scene that she kept him talking. He told her he had a twenty-year-old wife and a seventeen-year-old girlfriend and went on to explain: "Young girls aren't bitter yet. They haven't been hurt by a previous relationship and aren't carrying around all the baggage that older women have." (Not to mention carrying tape recorders in said baggage.)

He left out the part about them being more naive and easier for a fat sixty-year-old guy to manipulate, leaving them bitter and full of baggage when he's done with them. But anyway, I don't want to spoil the whole thing here, because I'm hoping she'll post the tape. We’ll see.
