A：

Dear　Cineaste；

You？re　going　to　have　to　get　your　facts　straight：　there　was　a　movie；　from；　like；　a　year　ago；　and　no

one　involved　in　that　production　has　anything　to　do　with　what？s　filming　here　right　now。　That

well…endowed　star　is　off　making　art？and　who　knows　what　else？in　Prague。　Au　revoir！

Q：

Dear　GG；

There？s　this　really　annoying　girl　in　my　yoga　class？I？m　just　trying　to　get　in　shape　and　keep　busy

while　my　best　friend　is　at；　like；　art　camp　in　Prague　for　the　summer？but　she？s　always　going　on

about　how　yoga　is　a　？way　of　life。？　Anyway；　after　class　the　other　day　she　was　gushing　to　the

teacher　about　some　new　？spiritual　book　lover；？　crush　and　he　sounded　suspiciously　like　someone　I

know？only　not。　Like　his　evil　twin。　Or　his　good　twin。　Anyway；　I？m　confused。　Are　there　pod　people

little　summer　fantasy。　Haven？t　you　ever　pretended　to　be　someone　you　weren？t　on　vacation？　Try　it

sometime：　check　into　your　hotel　as　the　Principessa　de　Medici　or　something　like　that；　and　don？t　be

surprised　if　management　sends　up　an　enormous　fruit　basket　or　some　Dom　Perignon。　Stretching　the

truth　sometimes　has　its　merits。
