WHICH former “lingerie” model, who recently split from her musician husband, is all washed up? So much so, she’s given her neighbors a soaking by stealing water from their outdoor hose to wash her fancy car.

Let the guessing games begin! Here’s the back story: Today I came home to find a tiny Porsche convertible parked in front of our house. It was dripping wet. I looked inside the car and saw a Gucci wallet sitting in the front seat, along with some keys. Weird, right? WELL. I e-mailed the owner of the house to ask if that was normal, and guess what she told me? Her neighbor steals water from her to wash her car!! She found out when she started having huge water bills; later, her nanny caught the woman in the act. Who does that? The owner of this house put a lock on the hose, but the gardner must have forgotten to replace it, because sure enough, when I checked the hose, it was dripping wet. I unscrewed it and put it into the garage. In related news, the other night Carole and I parked our cars facing the wrong way in front of our house. Both of our cars were ticketed in the morning! The tickets had been issued at 11:00 PM. We live on a dead-end street, which means someone called the cops on us. Drama! We love it. Oh, and here’s a photo of Carole, taken today on a hike through Fryman Canyon. My roommate hikes in an evening gown–isn’t she glamorous?
