[ K ] [ T ] and Family

Rick,

Holy flailing penitent, Batman. I have seen the light and I am blind.

Richards Enterprises had a press conference for a very select group. The others included Mike Gordon from WSJ. I was easily the junior person in the room. They did not hide Sheila Schwartz; she did the presentation. They did not tap dance around Mistress Cynthia; they led with it. I can clear up some long time mysteries, but almost all of this is closely held.

A lot of my supposition was confirmed. Schwartz did rent to Mistress Cynthia under the table. She was also a client—may still be. No one saw Cynthia coming and going because they look a lot alike from a distance. They played on the resemblance as a security measure. The hair is almost dead on the same. Check every pic we have on Schwartz as an adult. Her hair is up.

The whole thing of red lipstick on red flesh is confirmed. Schwartz pulled the necessary image from an auto-digital camera. I have two shots. You have seen one—the cover of that catalog. The other is the long shot it was taken from, with some muscle types blurred out. Finding the cover shot in this wide field takes skill. Evidently it has already made the rounds at the nose bleed level. Richards set up a new division because a potential client expects to deal with a VP. The Bear is known for moving quickly when it suits him, but a whole division for one person may be a new record.

Having seen her give the presentation, I have to say that How Jones is an idiot. This woman has Boardroom written all over her. She dressed down—she did not change for the tour of XTreme Fitness—but the attitude was purely professional. I have talked to other members of the property group. They are 100% in agreement. She may have kept a low profile, for now obvious reasons, but she radiates class and authority. She and Richards also make a fantastic tag team.

Attached are photos of the gym and the studio behind. I have seen a pic of the studio ready for use. Only the equipment is gone. The camera mounts are still in the ceiling and the restraint rings are still on the wall. That said, now that it's empty, it looks pretty harmless.

Get one of the women to do a profile on Claudia Johnson, XTreme Fitness' local manager. She's black, but does not lean on the ethnicity. Her gym is successful and about to expand. It should be good for a think piece.

On a personal note. Mike Gordon told Howard that, "How Jones was not good enough for Dow Jones." At least ten recorders and half a dozen cameras caught it. Howard looked like a bass ready to be gutted.
