They're red shoes.

Some overpaid ad exec had a brainstorm.

They would create the Alphabet Girl, revealing her each week in a different

magazine, captured with a different letter of the alphabet.

April 19th. A.

A is for Aphrodite.

April 20th.

B is for banana.

Yeah.

Yep, you guessed it, red shoes.

I'm her, the alphabet girl.

My big break.

What?

What are you doing?

Listen.

I really need you to start feeling something.

I can't.

I'm shooting a lot of pictures, but I'm not looking at anything.

I need you to feel something.

Something real.

And you've got to really connect.

Otherwise, it's just a picture.

And it's a waste of time for me.

April 21st.

According to the great and wise at Waterman, C is for courage.

But C is also for cat.

Cantaloupe.

Candor. Cookie.

Coffee. Couple.

I'm completely happy.

C.

C is for...

E is for ecstasy.

Not you.

Yeah. Stop it.

Not you. Stop it. No.

Hey. That was for a friendship.

Who's that?

Dahlia. Who's Dahlia? She was Matthias' girlfriend before you.

Very beautiful.

I read somewhere about a tribe in Africa that refuses to have their picture

taken.

They say that photographs steal your soul.

Think it's true?

Yeah, well, you know what they say about souls very very big things we can

afford a little Coming

the third turn It's Olga from the Ukraine.

Pulling out ahead of Olga Kapuchinsky from Romania.

It's amazing to watch this woman, Bob. Oh, 200 pounds of her. Here comes Olga.

Never underestimate a Romanian.

What a gal.

Come on, Olga. Come on, Olga. Come on.

Olga's still in there.

She's putting up a fight.

Just look at those eyes of steel, Bob.

That's right. She was a world -class wrestler at the age of seven.

It's vulgar, Bob.

No, it's vulgar. Vulgar! Now it's vulgar.

Now it's vulgar.

Oh!

What's he like?

Tell me about it.

Do you have any other brothers or sisters?

What about your mom and your dad?

So, I guess you don't like to talk about your family, huh?

I know a lot of people like that.

Including me.

You want to talk about cameras? Talk about cameras.

When I was a kid, I looked through a brownie, and that was it.

I love taking pictures, you know.

That's why I'm here, to learn, you know.

I mean, Matias, he's got it all.

He understands lighting, faith, and everything.

The question is, why are you here?

I mean, I know you're a model and everything, but what are you doing with

I just can't stand to see him use you.

I've seen him do it before with other models, and it never bothered me.

But with you, it's different.

You're too special for him.

You're a real person with real feelings.

Fuck.

There, I said it.

I just hope you don't hate me.

Good.

Because I couldn't stand it if you hated me.

I know that he's using me.

The truth is, I'm using him too.

You understand that?

Guess what I'm saying?

I'm gonna say one thing to you, and then I'll never bring it up again.

Don't underestimate yourself.

Okay?

Okay.

He looks so peaceful.

Like babes in the woods.

Once upon a time. What are you doing here?

Get in. Let's go for a spin.

Come on.

Q is for question.

R is for response.

What's going on?

I want to do some pickup shots.

You weren't around.

You said we weren't shooting today.

So I went out.

That's your decision.

So what are you going to do?

Tire another girl?

What about me?

What about you?

I want this.

How badly?

Well, tell me, how badly?

Show me.

I just made some tea.

Come on, let's get you warm.

So, this is my castle.

I'm King here.

I'm a broken, lowly assistant when I step out the door, but, uh, King here.

That's alright, you don't have to smile if you don't feel like it.

You don't have to do anything you don't want.

Leave her alone.

Come on, let's go.

You begged me.

You fucking begged me.

And now you give me this shit?

Matthias, please.

But you better leave.

I love you.

I take care of you. Everything. Your food, your clothes.

If I take it away, what are you going to do?

What?

What's he going to do for you?

What's he going to give you?

Think about it, Vanessa.

Think about what?

You fucking her?

Is that what you want?

He's a kid.

He thinks with his dick.

Keep your hands off.

Do you want to go with him?

Choose.

S is for surrender.

T is for tears.

Thank you.

How could she spend that last night with him if she knew she was going to leave

him in the morning?

But I think you already know the answer.

I just had to.

G is for goodbye.

Hope we can still be friends.

When you know it'll never work.

And G is for goodbye.

If only it could stay just the way it is.

When you know it never will.

And G is for goodbye.

I love the feel of his body next to mine.

And I love to be taken care of.

Fucking...

And G is for goodbye.

Of waking up at sunrise.

And getting dressed and walking out the door.

Without ever looking back.

Who's gonna go?

Jesse's gonna help me find a place.

See how it goes.

Sorry.

Really sorry.

I'm not sleeping with him.

I know.

Agency saw the pictures.

I really liked them.

I think they're crazy about him.

I'm scared.

I really do love you.

So where am I taking this?

And G is for goodbye.

And unfortunately, E is four.

May 25th. V is for Vanessa.

Neither virgin nor virago, but voyager.

Vital, voluntary, voyager.

And Z is always for zebra.

I'm glad she didn't skip Y.
