That's Rolling Stone,

There's a whisper campaign that
a good number of our readers

if our work is interesting
to all kinds of people?

We have advertisers
that are paying

Tonight,
ladies choose their partners.

Len, I was, um, thinking
about going back to Minx.

Oh. It's about time.

I would like you to consider it

my application
to be your secretary.

But I need you to come up
with more ideas for Minx.

I've gotten everything
I've ever wanted,

and it's happened so fast.

Have you ever
considered that maybe

you are exactly
where you belong?

And adventure.

Yeah, Bella's been

Those San Marino blocks

You don't know the half of it.

But Bella started her journey

through some other

Ones with more experimental architecture.

Think she's tempted
to revisit those?

Well, Bella is in

No, not yet, but I will.

There's just--
there's so much going on here,

and--and I--
I'm trying to write my book,

and I have the--the renovations
on the new condo--

And?

Plus crashing at the Margaux, yes,

so I'm just getting no sleep.

Now, is that the hotel's fault

or your rock star boyfriend?

He's not my boyfriend.
He is just--

The famous musician

I did not have time
to wash it this morning

because I was having sex.

Yes, yes.

Okay, I am ready.
Tell me everything.

A bathhouse, West Hollywood.

More men that we know
what to do with.

A bathhouse? Very sexy.

Okay, what's the angle?

Okay.

Communal bathing.

Men lounging, reading,
playing board games.

It's an exploration
of the male form

without artifice,
out in the wild.

Huh.

Do you think it might be
too, um...

...straightforward for Minx?

It's real.

You know, actual male desire.

Totally.

Yeah.

It's, uh, it's--
it's very, um...

Maybe I can, um, think on it. Okay.

Richie's been waiting weeks
to pitch this to you.

We've already rescheduled twice.

- We have to pull the trigger.
- Yeah.

I just--I don't see how, um,

this slots into
a women's magazine.

What if, you know,
it's not in a bathhouse?

What if it's the same,

but just, you know,
somewhere else?

Then it would be different.

I think that
we should put a pin in it

and we should think about

something more aspirational, okay?

Our centerfolds
are the ultimate fantasy.

For our female readers.

Sounds like
you have a very clear vision.

Any fixes?

Uh...

...what about backstage?

A-a stolen moment

with a rock star
in his dressing room?

Wow. Lightning strikes.

How'd you come up
with that one?

I guess I'll go find us
a rock star.

Didn't your mama ever teach you
how to turn someone down?

My mother? No.

My mother...

My mother wasn't around
for that kind of stuff.

Not something
you want to talk about?

No, not really.

Well, my mama
is a serious bitch,

and she taught me that

if you don't like something,
you just say no.

- Who says I didn't like it?
- You, in 40 ways.

Body language, tone of voice,
even the way

you keep scratching
the back of your head.

Okay, I feel observed.

You think it's nicer,

but it only makes everything worse.

Just be direct.

By the way, I've looked over
your work expenses.

Mm-hmm?

14 valet stubs
from the Margaux.

I'm living out of a suitcase.

I--I--I need a place to work.

You have an office.

I'm not accepting these.

- Yeah, but I'm staying--
- No.

See how easy that was?

Not a problem.

Bella quivered

as Gian-Paul shivered.

Ooh, that's good.

- Shel.
- Hi, Doug.

Can I talk to you?

That Bella LaRouche stuff
is sexy stuff.

It really is.

I didn't expect it
from a Prigger.

Oh, well, I've always had
a wild imagination.

Imagination--she's married
to an orthodontist

from La Cañada.

It's actually San Marino, so...

Either way, I need a little bit
of that sexiness

on my special project.

My copy could use a spark.

Well,
my spark doesn't come cheap.

How's a hundred bucks

Oh, come on.

Well, that's really

So I'm gonna lock you two girls
in this room,

Magic's on hold.

The archdiocese said we can't
use their venue anymore.

Oh, no.

where no one can reach us?

Only if you drive
so I can get drunk in the car.

Deal.

You never said goodbye.

I was told
not to interrupt the talent.

I made a mistake.

I wanted you there, it's just--
I don't know.

Sometimes--sometimes
I get caught up.

You're a star, Graham.

And you should enjoy that.

I plan on doing the same.

Just not with you.

Come on.

- Don't be mad.
- I'm not.

Look, we had a lot of fun,

and you introduced me
to my new favorite hotel.

All right. Okay.

Yeah.

Well, can we at least just--

- Good night, Graham.
- Okay.

If you change your mind...

I'll be over here.

- Was that--
- Yeah.
