She lit up, and observed the motionless water.What’s wrong with me? I have so many women to choose from. Experienced models galore, every one of who... would gladly invite me home for a romp. Desperate youngsters, trying to break in, willing to trade anything for a break, big or small, with the ice queen. Olga was sought after for mid-to-high level profile shoots--the Elle in her hand proved that. Not a supermodel by anyone’s definition, but a reliable, if mostly unnamed workhorse. She’d put more.
