In Over Her Head by Elsie Russell - Parnasse.com

That was lyrical, this is, junk. You say you saw this on her site?" Max
looked up at Alessandro.
"Yes, Penny and I saw it before we left. It did not look like your
work." He was in a passive implode against Max's manic high.
Max's narrow eyes popped out of his head. "Look at the hair!
The nails! The teeth, you never show the teeth. It will be years before
the teeth are credible."
He pulled out the mini DVD and plopped in another. This one

"Dick has invited us all for dinner, you want to come?" Max
and Maia both shook their heads. Alessandro was waiting, so Penny
shrugged her shoulders.
"I hate that old crocodile, and those paintings, quelle merde,
