was　standing　by　the　bar　giving　lighting　direction　to　a　gaggle　of　Swedish…looking　blond　female

crewpeople　in　matching　black　tunics；　his　notorious　bulging　blue　eyes　bloodshot　with　fatigue。　He

sported　a　short；　prickly；　reddish　beard　with　no　mustache？never　a　good　look？and　shoulder…length

curly　red　hair。　His　1980s…style　leather　jacket　had　huge　rounded　shoulders；　and　his　Levi？s　were

way　too　tight？also　not　a　good　look。　Blair　had　never　seen　him　before　and　thought　he　might　be　one

of　the　crew　until　he　addressed　her。

？Well；　you　certainlylook　the　part。？　He　pointed　to　one　of　the　chrome…and…black…leather　bar　stools；

gesturing　for　her　to　sit　down。　？But　this　isn？t　a　plete　remake；　you　know。　I？m　taking　some

liberties。　For　instance；　Holly　might　not　have　brown　hair。　And　she　could　be　tall。？

Way　to　rub　a　brunette　who？s　always　been　on　the　shorter　side　the　wrong　way！

It　had　taken　Blair　three　hours　to　get　dressed；　so　she　decided　to　ignore　his　insult。　She　folded　up　the

sheet　of　paper　she？d　been　given　to　read　from　and　tucked　it　into　her　purse；　partly　to　impress　Ken

Mogul　with　the　fact　that　she？d　already　memorized　her　lines；　and　partly　to　show　that　her　feathers

weren？t　easily　ruffled。　Then　she　sat　down　on　a　bar　stool　and　crossed　her　legs　with　Audrey

Hepburn？like　balletic　grace。

？I？m　not　going　to　give　you　any　direction；？　Ken　Mogul　remarked。　？You　just　do　your　thing；　okay？

So　？　action！？

Blair　had　Googled　Ken　Mogul　and　found　a　ton　of　articles　about　how　he　called　himself

the　？undirector；？　and　how　actors　hated　working　with　him　because　he　just　stared　at　them　without

giving　them　any　direction　at　all。　He　probably　thought　he　was　terribly　avant…garde　or　whatever。

Well；　that　was　fine　with　her；　because　she　didn？t　need　any　direction？shewas　Audrey　Hepburn

playing　Holly　Golightly　twenty…four　hours　a　day。

She　pulled　a　cigarette　and　the　long　ebony…and…mother…of…pearl　cigarette　holder　she？d　found　in　an

antique　shop　in　Rhode　Island　two　summers　ago　out　of　her　slim　black　satin　vintage　Chanel

pocketbook。

？Howdo　youdo　？？　she　purred；　sounding　exactly　like　Audrey　at　her　most　charming。　She　lit　her

cigarette　and　blew　a　delicate　stream　of　smoke　over　Ken　Mogul？s　head。　Then　she　delivered　that

dreamy；　faraway　smile　that　was　Audrey？s　trademark。　？Don？t　you　justlove　it　here？　Isn？t

itwonderful　waking　up　and　knowing　this　place　isright　here　；　every　day？　It？s　my

absoluteparadise　。？

Blair　waited　for　Ken　Mogul？s　response。　Those　were　the　only　lines　she？d　been　given　to　say；　and

she？d　said　them　perfectly；　even　if　she　did　say　so　herself。

Ken　Mogul　covered　his　bulging　blue　eyes　with　his　hand　and　then　pulled　it　roughly　away　again　in

a　bizarre　game　of　peekaboo。　He　stared　at　Blair　for　a　moment　longer　and　then　yelled；　？Next！？

Blair　dropped　down　off　the　stool　and　walked　gracefully　out　of　the　restaurant　to　where　Lord
