WNYH, good morning, Detroit. What's up?
This is DJ Butter, right now, hooking up

caller 25 with a pair of signals to see
Calvin Klein's supermodel, Lucas Payne,

at the United Negro College Wednesday
night show happening this Sunday night.

hit me up.

Don't you hate those radio calling
contests?

You can never get through. You spend all
your time walking around with the phone

permanently attached to your ear, and
you can't change the radio station.

Who's crazy enough to do that?

Hang on. Turn up the radio. They're
giving away tickets to see Lucas Payne.

Call a ten.

So sorry.

Hold up. Did I mention that the winner
also gets two backstage passes?

Backstage passes?

We'll be close enough to touch them.

Well, don't just stand there, Tamara.

Dial.

My fingers are numb from punching the
keys.

Ever hear of redials?

Give me that.

All right, we're up to number 24.

Now the next caller will be our lucky
winner.

He's ringing!

Tamera's ringing!

Even though I'm glad to be with you, I
got a feeling for me like you got to do

what's right for you.

Petrie, this is the last time I'm asking
you to keep still. Now, next time, I'm

saying it with straight pins.

But, girl, this gown is gorgeous. I
don't want to take it off.

Did you bring my check?

No. Then you taking it off.

Make it fast. I got important places to
be.

What you mean? That sale at Target don't
start until tomorrow.

I'm not talking Target.

I'm talking about jump -starting my
career.

This is the day I've been waiting for
all my life.

Wait, wait. Spill it, girlfriend.

Well, you know that big fashion benefit
show they're having tonight?

Know about it. I've been on the phone
all morning trying to get tickets.

Yeah, well, I've been on the phone, too.
I called up the fashion coordinator for

the benefit, told her about my skills.
She practically begged me to come on

there and bring all my stuff. You lie.

I am not.

I'm finally going to get my design seen
by some of the biggest designers in the

industry.

Oh, but you still gonna cut your
homegirl a little deal, right?

We'll talk.

Hey, Ma, Ma, you've got to help us. We
can't find anything to wear. Oh, now,

that's ridiculous.

You two have enough clothes in your
closet to be on somebody's best dress

But our clothes are too nice. We need
something really, really tacky. Yeah,

that's why we came up here.

I'm gonna let that one go.

It's a place that you don't understand.

It's for a radio contest.

I thought you had to call in to win
those tickets.

Oh, no, they gave those away.

It's a different contest.

To win a dinner date with Lucas Payne.
Oh, no, that's hawk -alicious.

Supermodel? Girl, what do you have to
do? Well, they're giving the date to the

tackiest -dressed woman who shows up at
the station by noon.

Well, forget it. No girls of mine are
going to demean themselves by entering

some tacky contest.

Absolutely not.

What's the address of that station?

Oh, come on, Mom. It's all in fun.

Yeah, and we figured if we had really,
really geeky hair and wore something

really, really dorky... Hey, hey.

I wore this over here.

So, um, Lisa, what do you say?

I say there's a bag of old clothes for
the goodwill in the laundry room.

Knock yourselves out. Oh, thanks, Mom.

Now, if we only knew where we can find
some really clunky loser shoes... Stay

out of my closet.

Ooh, I gotta get a move on.

Girl, these things are...

Who you tellin'? Are these the ones you
show up to those fashion hot shots?

Yes.

And when they see them, they better act
like they know.

You know, that's what I like about you,
girl. You don't wish for your good luck.

You make your own. Mm -hmm.

It's like my grandmother used to say.

You can't always wait for opportunity to
knock, honey. Sometimes you gotta rip

that dog off his hinges and tassel him
in the street.

Okay, now tell the truth.

Now, what does this suit say to you?

It says you're successful, you're
glamorous, and you have an exciting man

your life.

Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Yeah, I guess after dating Ray all
summer, you're starting to see what I

him. Nothing.

Oh, geez, now come on. Ray is a good
man.

There's just no heat between us. I heard
that.

So are you going to dump old Frosty? Oh,
nothing as drastic as that.

I'm just gonna... I'm gonna suggest that
we see other people.

Perfect. He'll never know you're dumping
him.

This could be very hard for Ray.

That lucky dog has been dating me.

It's good scum for life.

Morning, Lisa.

Oh, hi, Patrice. I hope I'm not
disturbing you. Ray, you've disturbed me

the day I met you.

Oh, then my life hasn't been in vain.

Oh, now cut it out, you filth.

Oh, before I go, I wanted to know, are
we still on for the company Friday?

Actually, I... Could you be a doll and
take these gowns out to the trunk of my

car and wait in there with them?

If you want me to leave, just say so.

Leave.

So, about Friday.

You know, Ray, there comes a time when
two people dating, they have to... Maybe

you should sit down.

Okay.

Dating this summer has been special.

But I think maybe we should start seeing
other people.

Me too.

I mean, you know, don't take this
personal because you are a wonderful

and I... Me too.

Yeah. I mean, I've been feeling the same
way. I just didn't know how to tell

you. Well, consider me told.

Well, you're not mad, are you? No, why
should I be mad if you want to date

somebody else?

I'm ecstatic. I couldn't be happier.

Goodbye.

Well, are you okay?

I am fine. Bye.

Oh, Lisa, I guess that's a no for the
symphony.

That would be a no.

I sure hope this worked, Tia.

Do you think we looked tacky enough to
win the dinner date with wicked pain?

Tamir, when we got out of the car, a
pregnant woman gave us a sign of the

I think we're shooting.

Dang.

I bet this is what they mean by the
crowd turned ugly.

Look at all these desperate women.

Man, what some people won't do for a
date. Ain't it sad?

was rigged.

Got that right. We were way tackier than
Patrice.

I have to go, ladies.

Woo!

Somebody's been missing their beauty
sleep.

That'd be funny, Dad.

Couldn't help it. I'm feeling so good.

Guess who just lent the limo contract
for the UNCF Fashion Benefit?

Congratulations, Dad.

You got an extra ticket?

Don't need a ticket. Got a security
badge.

extra girls you can sneak in with you.

We've been through this before.

This is my profession. I am not your
ticket service.

By the way, love what you've done with
your hair.

This is the worst day of my life.

Lisa, what happened?

Oh, girls. Oh, I feel as awful as...

You look.

Did you win the date with Lucas Bay?

No, but you'd never guess who did.

Patrice.

But a 70 -year -old toothless man asked
Tamera out.

He had teeth.

They were just in his pocket.

What happened to you, Mom?

Like a fool, I went down to that civic
center thinking they wanted to use my

designs in the show.

Well, what happened?

When they told me to bring down all my
stuff.

They meant my sewing kit.

They were short of fitter, and they
wanted me to fill in.

So nobody looks at your dresses?

Oh, honey, nobody looks at any kind of
dresses designed by a fitter.

But, Mom, these dresses are as good as
anything in vogue. Those people are

Oh, no, honey, I was nuts.

Think I could even ever break into that
world.

No, no, I'm just a Detroit dressmaker
with delusions of grandeur.

But, Lisa, haven't you always told us
you gotta dream big to win big?

Oh, yeah.

And after 15 years of dreaming, it's
time I woke up.

I've never seen Mom so bummed.

I mean, it's not like her to just give
up.

Who can blame her to you?

I mean, if I designed dresses that
beautiful and nobody cared, I'd give up,

You know what, Tamera? The fashion
industry is so full of snobs.

I mean, if those people at the benefit
could just look at these dresses, they'd

see how talented she is. But, Tia, you
heard her. She says she's not going back

down there. Well, then it's up to us,
Tamera.

We can't let my mom's dream die.

Gosh.

We've got to find someone at the benefit
to look at these dresses.

Reality check, Tia.

The only way we're getting down there is
if we turn into supermodels in the next

15 minutes.

Okay, people,

step aside.

Clear the way.

International supermodels coming
through.

Hold it, Sonny.

Where are your badges?

Kabam!

Okay, Bam Bam's cool.

What about Wilma and Betty?

Badges? Don't be absurd.

They would simply destroy the lines of
our gown. Absolutely.

Indubitably.

What'd they say?

Okay.

Who are you kids, and what are you doing
here?

Kids? My good man, I'll have you know we
are the international supermodels,

Gemini.

Gemini.

I don't care if you're Gemini Cricket.
If you don't have a badge, you're out of

here.

Bye, Gemini.

Wait a minute. Aren't you coming with
us?

What part of I've got a badge don't you
understand?

Gotta go.

Boy, you're gonna need a bodyguard the
next time we see you.

What happened to your accent?

Pit -pit.

Cheerio.

Now, I know I left those gowns right on
this chair.

I must be losing a little bit of mine I
got left.

Now,

I know that badge was on that jacket
when I put it right here.

Hey, Lisa. I can't talk to you right
now, Ray.

A big part of my life is gone.

Lisa, I can still see that you're upset
about us dating other people.

Oh, what could have happened, Ray?

Who can say?

One minute something is there, the next
minute it's just gone.

One just never knows.

Well, somebody knows something.

You know, that's very true, and...

Well, maybe if you look deep in your
heart, you'll find that that somebody is

you.

You're losing me, Ray.

I know, I know.

I felt this way for a long time.

I'm confused.

As am I.

That's why we need to sort this through
together.

Oh, so you want to take upstairs and
I'll take downstairs?

Now, Letha.

Just because we've agreed to see other
people doesn't mean we can't share the

house the way we always have.

What the hell are you talking about,
Ray?

Somebody stole my dresses.

What? My gowns. They're gone.

Is that what you're talking about?

Yes. Isn't that what you're talking
about? No, I... My missing security

I can't find it anywhere.

Oh, wait a minute.

My gowns are missing, your badge is
missing, and both of our girls are

I think I smell twin rats.

Why would the girls take our things?

For the same reason they entered that
Miss Tacky contest.

Lucas Payne.

Come on, let's get down to that civic
center and claim what's ours.

I'll drive.

You know, Ray, this was the longest
conversation we've had in three months,

we weren't even talking about the same
thing.

Right. We should be dating other people.

I know that's right.

I think we're okay.

Hey, you!

Get this rack out of the way.

Yes, sir. Right away, sir.

What are you doing?

Are you all right?

I don't know.

Is there a problem, Mr. Payne?

No, we're cool.

We were just moving this rack of
clothes.

Hurry, in here. Nice running into you.

That was close. Now what?

Can you believe it, Tia?

We are actually in Beverly Peel's
dressing room.

Man, I bet she's been on the cover of
every fashion magazine there is.

And we're breathing her air.

Isn't it great?

No, Tamira. Great would be getting
someone to see Mom's gown.

Oh, my God.

Look at all her makeup brushes.

Hey, she leaves the top of her mascara
off.

Just like me.

No, Tamira. She leaves the top off her
mascara. You leave the top off mine.

Get away from there before Beverly Peel
comes in and feeds you.

Oh, please.

Like, you don't get this stuff for free.

Actually, I get it for a 10 % discount.

Beverly Peel!

Um, Miss Peel, we were just going to...
I know. You're here to fit my dress.

Oh, that's right.

We're fitters.

We're here to fit her dress.

Go ahead, Tia. Get to fitting.

There. It fits.

No, no. Ralph wanted the hem to be
slightly higher in the front.

Well, if that's what Ralph wants.

You know what? We're going to have to go
back out and get some more straight

pins. Yeah, these aren't straight
enough.

Oh, never mind.

This dress is all wrong.

I wish I had something else to wear.

Did you say you have nothing else to
wear?

Yes, why?

No reason.

Oh, dear, why don't we take these rack
of lovelies to the other model?

Wait. Who designed these?

They're stunning.

Lisa Landry of the House of Landry.

Yeah, um, she's a local designer. All
the other models are clamoring to wear.

You mind if I steal a peek?

Well, since it's you, knock yourself
out.

Let's check in here.

There they are.

You two have a lot of explaining to do.

Save it for the judge. Everybody out.

Oh, I'm so disappointed in you girls.

First, you take my gowns without my
permission just to see some little stud

muffin.

And now you're backstage passing them
out like party favors.

Mom, this is Beverly Peel. I know who
she is, dear.

Miss Peel, I'm sorry.

I'll just take my gown and we will be
out of your way.

Lisa, she's looking for a dress to wear
in the show tonight.

I don't think we've been properly
introduced.

I'm Lisa Landry. Oh, how do you do?

I know this is short notice, but do you
think you have time to alter this dress

by tonight?

Honey, by tonight, I could whip up the
bag and the shoes to go with it.

Before we go, ladies, is there something
you'd like to say to Miss Peel?

Can we have your autographs?

Mom,

this is so cool. We're actually modeling
in a... A real fashion show. Thanks for

talking him into using us.

Are you kidding?

I wouldn't even be here if it weren't
for you girls.

Yeah, Mom.

You always told us to dream big, and you
were right.

Well, when they said they wanted to show
the entire Landry line, I knew that

nobody could do any justice but Gemini.

Oh, girl, what are you doing?

Oh, I am a wreck.

But Beverly Pills dress is ready, and my
girls look beautiful.

So how do you feel, Lisa? Well, I'm
going to feel a whole lot better when

not sitting on this pin cushion.

Ladies and gentlemen, the evening
poster, Miss Beverly Pills.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and
welcome to our benefit for the United

Negro College Fund.

As the UNCF slogan reminds us, a mind is
a terrible thing to waste.

The same can be said of talent.

For example, the gown I am wearing this
evening was designed by an emerging

talent discovered right here in Detroit,
Lisa Laundrie.

That's Laundrie!

You go, girl.

These fabulous fashions from the house
of Laundrie will be modeled by a pair of

talented newcomers.

Gemini.
