“Make sure you show shots of the buyers,” I replied.
“Roger that.”
The first model struck a pose at the end of the runway. One of the many camera men wearing a monkey mask ran over and got a nice-closeup of her before she turned and walked back towards me. I took her hand and helped her do a little spin.
“The bidding starts at $50,000,” I said into my microphone. “Do I hear 50?”
A guy in a cabana to the left raised his paddle. I was pretty sure he was with the Russian mob.
“I have 50. Will you give me 60?”
Another paddle raised.
“Still not many mentions,” said the director into my ear.
Damn.
“I have 60. Will you give me 75?” I asked.
The Russian dude bid 75. But no one would go up to 100.
“Going once, going twice. Sold to cabana #4 for $75,000! Please come get your prize.”You cheap bastard.I’d never once sold a girl for less than 100K at one of these auctions. Luigi’s informant had been spot on that they were colluding to bid low.
The Russian guy came up and I handed him her leash. He led her back to his cabana and pulled the curtains shut.
Fuck this.I wasn’t going to keep selling these beautiful women for next to nothing. It was insulting to them.
“Let’s go to plan B,” I said into my earpiece. It was a little premature since it meant we’d make no money on the next few girls. But I was betting on this strategy paying off big at the end.
“Heard. Activating plan B.”
The next model came out and did her walk. And then I started the bidding.
One of the cabanas started the bidding at $50,000. But then the guards I’d planted as fake buyers in cabanas #8, #9, and #10 took control and started bidding each other all the way up to 300K.
“Sold to cabana #8 for $300,000!” I announced.
The guard disguised in a tuxedo and masquerade mask came up and claimed his prize.
“Let’s go back to the lounge,” he said. He held her hand up to do a little twirl. And as she spun, he smacked her ass with his paddle.
Nice extra touch there.
“Now we’re getting some mentions,” said the director into my ear.
“What are people saying?” I replied.
“Let’s see:
“Is this a #Odegaard fashion show or an auction? I’m confused.
“Is anyone watching this #Odegaard fashion show? Are they auctioning the clothes or the girls?
“Is that the same mask that they use in those banana party pornos? #Odegaard
“Why do these #Odegaard models all have bags on their heads???
“Did that #Odegaard bikini just sell for 300 grand?
