One Life: Episode 7 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT (last page)
babyblue1387:
Ok, this is the final update for Episode 6. Wow. This is the shortest time I've spent on a story! Just three or four updates. Episode 7 will take me a LOT longer to do. Mostly because I'm still writing it. And now, on to the end of Episode 6: Fame Becomes Her!
----------------------------
I was 26 with two kids, 3 and 2, and a new world opened up to me. I did the theme songs for quite a few movies, including my debut movie, Deadly Love.
I got to be the deadly vixen in the red dress and heavy curls, and win the awards. I like to believe that it was my stunning debut performance that earned the movie 10 awards. I won awards for best leading actress, best debut performance, best on-screen kiss, fan favorite-new actress, and fan favorite-best nude scene.
I was in heaven until I got my mail one day, and found out my husband wanted to get the kids. He wanted MY babies! I had half a mind to tell him the kids weren't his. That would stop this madness.
My publicist was visiting and she convinced me not to fire off a really evil, mean, nasty email to Marcello. She ensured me that he'd use it as "evidence" against me. The next day, my lawyer called and said that the official divorce papers had come through. Marcello was going to seek spousal support and custody of the kids with little visitation rights for me. I was livid! My publicist said now, more than ever, I needed to be on my best behavior. It didn't matter what I did sinside my house, so long as I was perfect outside. So I took a long swig of scotch and sucked up all my anger.
I was going to film an episode of Inside the Actor's Studio that night, and I decided I'd change my image immediately. I would be that vixen in the red lipstick. I was stunning; long hair, red lipstick, red satin shirt, and diamonds. That didn't last too long for me. I grew tired of dressing up, and I really started changing my style every day. Or nearly that often. This had an unexpected effect. I became a fashion icon. When asked about my new status, I gave this statement.
"I really want to credit my ex-husband, Marcello Puccini. He has constantly been supportive of everything that I've been doing. He's a great man. Without him, I never would have had this idea."
Of this was a slap in the face!
He knew it, but the public adored me for it. I think this started a bitter divorce and custody battle. I came out looking wonderful, mostly because I had the money to hire the best people. He didn't.
Marcello made appearances on camera and on gossip shows. He got a little money for that, but nothing like what I had. He acted out of anger, and made some really scathing remarks about me. Things that could really damage me. I had an investigation started to prove my innocence of child molestation. When nothing was found, I sued him for slander. There went his credibility, divorce settlement, and visitation right. So ended the battle. And who won? ME! Aartist for the win!
After a while of being a fashion icon, people started to get bored with the same old thing, and I got a little desperate. I wanted to still enjoy my fame, so I hastily announce a fashion line. My people were terrified when they heard this because I had absolutely no idea about fashion design. I said I'd worry about it later. All that mattered at that point was that I had the public eye again. I knew that I'd need a gimmick to keep interest going, so I decided to reunite with my mother. She was still a very popular model, and what better than having her model my clothing line. So, for the first time in I don't know how many years, I called my mother.
I arranged to have a reunion on a popular talk show. I knew my mother wanted this to be a private affair, but I needed this to go well. I won't deny that I felt terrible for doing what I did to her. As I watcher her holding her grandchildren, I realized the extend of the pain I'd put her through. I even got to see my brother, Marcin and his wife, Asilda. Rich and Christiana, my stepfater and stepsister, were there, too. I felt horrible for everything I'd done to them, and said as much. I promised to try to do better by them, and I did. My mother happily agreed to do my clothing line, and my brother, who did become a successful male model, agreed to model the male clothes. My line did extremely well, and I signed on to do a movie about a fashion magazine. I was the lead. I got the chance to be a ruthless diva. Like I wasn't in real life.
This time, though, things were different. I guess reuniting with my family had more of an mpact on me that I thought.
I realized just how important family was, and I was determined to give my kids the love and family and devotion they deserved. I started involving them more in my life. I didn't want them to be in the spotlight all the time, but I didn't keep them holed up. We moved away from California to a place where we could live our lives in relative peace. I started to think about the way my movies would reflect on my children. I didn't do children's movies, and I didn't stop being sexy, but everything I did was tasteful.
My clothes were all modest, but still made women feel elegant and sexy. The newest collection was all about corsets.
Who doesn't love corsets! I even had a lingerie line with corsets. I made the corset my trademark, and there was a boom in corset dresses across hollywood.
I was still the "it" girl, but I was wondering how much longer I was really going to do that. How much longer did I really want to be in the spotlight. I decided that I could stand it for a while longer. It's an addictive feeling, and there's nothing that compares to it. I've been in this business since before my birth, and I'm 43 now. I don't plan on leaving just yet. I don't think I'm quite done.
