"Paul Levinson's It's Real Life is a page-turning exploration into that multiverse known as rock and roll. But it is much more than a marvelous adventure narrated by a master storyteller...it is also an exquisite meditation on the very nature of alternate history." -- Jack Dann, The Fiction Writer's Guide to Alternate History

The Girlfriend Experience 2.7-8: Sundry Seductions

A scorching hot episode 2.7-8 of of The Girlfriend Experience last night, at least insofar as the Anna-Erica story, which is where the heat usually is.  And this time, it was mostly with Anna.

She wants to have Anna's baby.  And how exactly will she do that?  By having sex with a guy, urging him not to wear a condom, and doing her utmost to get pregnant.  As to how that will be Anna's baby, I'm not sure.  Is the guy some relation to Anna - a cousin? - and I missed that?

Before that, Erica gets her kicks by watching Anna and guy go at it against the wall.  This reveals an aspect of Erica - almost a sadism - we haven't seen before.  And to top it off, Erica blithely lies to Anna when she asks if Erica if she's seeing anyone else who means something to her - when we the audience have just seen that Erica's still half in love or more with her former girlfriend.

Meanwhile, the Bria story is finally beginning to move forward on the Ian front.  He finally succumbs to Bria's seductions from previous weeks and sleeps with her.  I'm still finding this witness-protection story more intriguing than the political intrigue of Erica and Anna.

In particular, Ian resisted sleeping with Bria so far because he correctly saw that doing that would weaken or compromise his ability to protect her.  So now that he's let himself go with her, what will happen to the quality of his protection?

I'm still suspicious of Paul.  It's impossible to tell what Paul really wants from Bria.  Fortunately, Ian is usually not too far away.  But sooner or later, Ian and Paul will meet, and then all bets are off.

It all started in the hot summer of 1960, when Marilyn Monroe walked off the set of The Misfits and began to hear a haunting song in her head, "Goodbye Norma Jean" ...
