    Don’t worry, Marco, We’re artists. We can make improvements to the mold after we make the cast.

    Kait was so busy, she had to schedule her dermatology check up at the same time as she was working.

    Before there were Japanese men practicing photography with nude models using cameras with no film in them, there were French men practicing plaster casting with no plaster.

    When comparing notes with the wives who had Accountant husbands, the Plaster Caster wives learned that they had much better sex lives.

    Kaitlyn was absolutely sure she would win the science fair this year. Especially when the ‘volcano’ erupted out of her plaster cast.

    The lesson she’d learned from the past/ was that youth and beauty don’t last/ and so to preserve/ her vivacious verve/she had herself sealed in a cast.

    That’s a really good mold. And what’s coming out of it is amazingly lifelike.

    Hold up a second. We have to rub petroleum jelly into her skin or the mold won’t release.
