A few thoughts from Familiarâ¦
It looks as if Nicole is out for the night. I donât know why I never considered that she might have a boyfriend. Thatâs the most likely explanation for the fact that hereâs her car and thereâs no sign of her in her trailer. I doubt she walked anywhere. This movie set is on the backside of nowhere. So she obviously caught a ride with someone.
Should I be worried? It just seems hard to really worry about Nicole. Sheâs so physically competent.
And if Iâm any judge at all, I think Jax McClure is equally impressed. I get the feeling that Jax is a man who doesnât believe heâs vulnerable to a womanâs charms. Heâs one of those tough guys who believes heâs had his last romantic bronc ride. Well, I do believe heâs getting ready to learn differently.
All I can say is, âCowboy up!â

Being on a movie set is pretty cool. I mean there are babes everywhere. They bring in the food, they work on the cameras, they star in the filmâand the biggest babe of them all isnât even the star. Sheâs the stunt double. Miss Nicole Paul is one of the hottest bods Iâve seen in yearsâand sheâs just the stuntwoman and body double for Angela Myers.
