His popularity as a guest character on the soap led to a gig for a swimsuit calendar. Adam is August.

'Yes, I know, old queen,' Adam thinks as the bizarre Andy Warhol look alike photographer enthuses about his grace & beauty, a single perfect jewel, some bullshit like that.

He has lunch with his agent Sophia. He tells her he wants her to work on getting him a movie role. She tells him he needs a new younger girlfriend, one who will get him more media attention than Beverly. "Sophia, I don't know the first thing about getting a girlfriend," Adam complains, "Girls always know I'm gay, anyway."

He runs into his neighbor, Jade, an actress & model herself, in the cafe.

Jade has graced the cover of many a Victoria's Secret catalog, and she's been in more music videos than Adam can count. The flashbulbs snap as he converses with the not quite supermodel. Too bad she's married, they would actually look good together in the tabloids.

He has fans of the soap opera coming up to him all the time now. He's still new at the fame thing & is still thrilled & gratified to be recognized on the street, and is very happy to meet & chat with his fans.

It turns out that this fan, Ashleigh, works for Big Music Company CEO Bill Arthag. Adam is particularly looking to get a record contract, but any contact in the Industry is a good contact.
