Junkie pines for glory days with powerful benefactor
There was a time Luscious Jezebel was the toast of the town.
LJ hooked a big fish, Randy Flame, who was immensely powerful that time.
LJ thought the glory days would never end. Unfortunately, LJ wound up with the wrong type of crowd. LJ soon got hooked on drugs.
Of course, RF dropped LJ like a hot potato.
LJ quickly plunged into the depths of penury and despair.
LJ now looks dazed and desperate. According to friends, LJ would often knock on their door to seek financial help.
Tsk. Tsk.

Speaking of cautionary tales . . .
Hard-up Siren has seen better days. A source recalls that HS used to swim in dough. HS’ fortunes, however, took a turn for the worse after a string of bad decisions.
As coup de grace, HS fell into the trap of addiction.
In order to feed a nasty habit, HS has hoodwinked former coworkers—even those who are based abroad.
HS would recount sob stories in order to solicit moolah from gullible colleagues.
Time element
A netizen got stumped by a random photograph posted online.
The snapshot shows Luminous Artiste on a holiday with Amorous Novice. Thing was, the pic was taken several years ago.
At the time, LA and AN weren’t an item yet. After a little snooping, the mole discovered that LA had just split up with Maverick Lothario a few months before the trip.
Moreover, AN was supposed to be wooing Moody Maiden then.
Hmmm . . .
As someone in the know quipped: “Well, well . . .”
Social media pariah
Seems Malevolent Fiend has amassed more foes than friends on social media.
MF, who’s notoriously “user-friendly,” has turned off not a few people by engaging in all sorts of shenanigans.
It seems MF has moved up from petty crimes to grand larceny. Well, MF has no choice but to turn to illegal activities in order to project a fake image of fame, fortune and power.
Former pals (and current victims) have been complaining about MF online. But when will the long arm of the law catch MF?
Counting chicks
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Some things never change. Cantankerous Gadfly is the real reason why a mammoth venture went pfft.
Turned out CG was way too demanding.
CG asked for a hefty fee—far higher than colleague Controversial Superior’s asking price.
Moreover, CG demanded for double the usual reward should the project hit the jackpot.
Talk about counting the chicks before they are hatched.
