Before this could go any further, Tito came up. "Tito, ciao," she said (yes, I swear, she really did say ciao). "What kind of people are you hiring here?" Tito just looked at her for a minute, cocked his head, and blinked a couple of times.

"What did you say?"

"I said this girl over here in the blue bimbo pants is an idiot because she does not know who I am or who Pedro is!" said the supermodel.

Then what Tito said really surprised me.



"She's not an idiot, Prom," he said (that's her name; she's Brazilian -- ed.) "And even if she were, you have no right to call her one."

Prom looked completely non-plussed. Not that I expect supermodels to be great orators or anything, but it took her a long time to come up with the few words she did.

"This place is so over," she said. And then she grabbed Pedro, whoever he was, and they split.
