Jenna Jaspers had just come from a meeting with Max Kliber, the producer of a range of animal/disaster movies that did not, no, include Sharknado or any of the sequels, but 'came from the same wellspring of extraordinary creativity,' according to the big man. The movie that she was being slated to 'star' in - by which everyone understood as a cameo - involved squids and a hurricane that might eventually include a kraken at the center, depending on the ultimate budget. For much of the meeting, Jenna had shown confusion about what a kraken was and how it was different from a squid.<br/><br/>The blown-out blonde was supposed to reprise one of the roles that had made her famous in the L.A. area, or relatively famous, hosting infomercials for nutrition supplements and facial creams. A small squid was supposed to be thrust by excessive winds through the window as she was taping and strangle her, hilariously. "I don't know, Max," she said. "It sounds awesome, totally awesome, but can I get more than one line?" She was also concerned with what they wanted her to wear, a little too demure and linen-y. Too New Age.<br/><br/>These were fun gigs, but she wanted to at least get to show off her acting skills.<br/><br/>In a mixed mood, she was looking forward to talking with her wife about what was going on. The serious roles had long dried up (meaning hat-check girls and murder victims), and she didn't know if it was her, or the industry, that was changing. She was fighting with Angeleno traffic to get to the cafe in time. Catherine had said it was very important, and had texted her with excitement. Jenna got there, huffing and puffing.<br/><br/>And then froze. Nothing could have prepared her for what she found, an almost spitting image of herself, both women looking well-dressed, what was clearly a date. For a second she forgot that Cat had texted her, or thought maybe it had been a rival who had sent it instead. Aghast, rage boiling up, hands nearly clutching for drinks to throw into faces, she managed to eke out, "What. The Fuck. IS THIS."<br/>
