all of us and we were going to cancel the tour but Richie wants us to continue.  We have therefore held auditions today to decide on a drummer to help us out with the rest of the tour dates.  It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Jay Gallado.  Jay has been recording with the newly reformed Killing Fields and we’re very grateful that they agreed to her joining us for the next six weeks.  Come on out here Jay!”
    The whole band stood and clapped as Jade walked through the door and over to the empty seat at the table.  Flashes blinded her as she sat and faced the monsters.  Not all of them, not really!  Hell!   Most of them!  She waited almost not breathing as they shouted incomprehensibly.
    “Who else have you played with?”
    “Where do you come from?”
    “Is that your real name?”
    “Are you sleeping with the band?”
    It calmed slightly as Luis stood and waited for the furore to subside.
    Luis’s assistants rushed through the crowd handing out information packages and the shouting came down to a dull roar as they read her bio.  With a smile Luis gave the floor to one of the reporters he trusted to keep it clean.
    “Ms. Gallado are you excited to be playing with Storm Front?”
    “Yes, it’s an amazing opportunity and I can’t wait to be back on stage again.”
    Another question came from the back.  “How long since you played live?”
    Jade smiled.  “It’s been about six months or so.  I did back-up work for Sweet Sacrifice on their tour.”
    A rumpled predatory looking man in the front grinned as he shouted his question.
    “Do you have a boyfriend Jay?”
    “No, no boyfriend, I’m too busy working.”
    Luis interrupted.  “We only have time for one more question.  Molly, you take it.”
    Molly’s question was work related and quickly answered by Trace and then it was over and Luis was shepherding all of them out of the room.  Jade gave a big sigh of relief as they left the monsters behind.
    “All of you come up to my room we have some decisions to make.”  With that cryptic comment Luis strode away with his bodyguard in tow and disappeared around the corner.
    “What now?”  Jade asked Trace who just shrugged.
     
    “What do you mean I need a style make-over?  I’m happy looking the way I do and when I’m playing I need to be comfortable!  I can’t prance around in heels baring my ass in miniskirts and then spread my legs to play in freaking thong underwear that will chafe the holy hell out of me!   Not to mention my boobs in those bras!  They would be hanging out all over the place!  That’s just obscene!”  Jade stormed at Luis as he showed her the stylist’s suggestions who wanted her to wear slutty little skirts, teeny tiny thongs, cropped tops with push-up bras and stilettos.  Hell no!   “And why the hell would I bleach my hair and colour it all the colours of the rainbow?  It makes no sense!”
    “Jay-Jay those are only suggestions!  You don’t have to agree to all of it.”  Tag tried to reason with her.  “You can’t carry on walking around in my clothes!”
    “It’s not your guava they want to show to the world!”
    “Guava?  You call it your guava?”  RJ snorted with laughter.
    “Whatever!  My vajayjay, cootchie, nini, snatch, peach, hoohah even vagina would do if it makes you understand.  I don’t see you with your dick in the breeze while you play.”
    The guys collapsed with laughter.
    “These are only suggestions Jay, it’s not written in stone.”  Luis murmured with a hidden grin.
    “I’m not wearing skirts, not off stage and definitely not on stage.  I have nothing against dressing the part but I’m a drummer people!  I sit with my legs spread wide open for heaven’s sake!  I’m comfortable in the clothes Mel makes for me to play in and I’m not budging on that.  If you want me to dress up then Mel Harris is going to dress me and no one else.”
    Luis grinned as if he had won the game.  “I already spoke
