I stopped in the lobby's pub to grab a burger
platter. Had the bartender turn on the news, in case the newsies have used the
last couple of hours to figure a way around the confiscations. Have you made any
plans yet?"
"Plans?"
"Yeah. If they show the pictures, will you stay at the convention or leave?"
With a ladylike snort, Mandi said, "Leave, I'd think."
"Won't help," said Cade. "If I can make blowups, others can, too, and
they'll circulate nationwide. Worldwide. Did you see the 'Dawn' lookalike
contest in the program guide? If the pictures are shown, what would you say to a
'Mandi Steele Lookalike Contest'? After something like that, you'd be just
another pretty tree in the forest while you're here."
After a moment of horrified silence, Mandi asked, "You're actually serious,
aren't you?"
Around a mouthful of french fries, Cade said, "Yup. I know a guy who can set
it up and they can build it into one of the other costume contests. It can be
the first of its kind."
"The what?!"
"The first ever 'Mandi Steele Lookalike Contest'. Who knows? If you enter,
you might even win.
