One Of Dolla's Bitches !

There was only a week between the Telethon and DollaXL's appearance at the Reading Festival. So any buzz created by Debbi's performance of Miz No-E that night would still be current. An up side to this was that it gave Debbi little time to fret but the down side was that there was no time to prepare and there would be no rehearsal time for participating with the rapper's back up dancers.

Debbi did what she could. She quickly relearned Jody's lyrics for the very first 'dancin' in my knickers for the world to see' rap. And there was a brief meeting with DollaXL's people. They wanted to see what Debbi would be wearing for the performance and she got the impression they were hoping she would strip off at the meeting but she had pre-empted them and came armed with one of Solomon's souvenir t-shirts that displayed her in lingerie, stockings and suspenders. She did not want to perform dressed like that on a huge festival stage but she was trying to console herself that she had won a minor victory by refusing to do 'Miz No-E in the raw'.

"Yah, great babes. I'm sure Dolla will love that" said Saffron, the British PR for the trip, when Debbi showed her the t-shirt design. The rapper's American management reps were more taciturn but also seemed content. "But if there's no rehearsal time, how will I know what to do if you want me to join the backing dancers ?" Debbi asked. "That won't be a problem. Dolla's shows are famed for their spontaneity" answered one of the Americans. "You're all just a bit of eye candy anyway, the audience will be focused on Dolla, he commands the stage. Just mingle with the other bitches and look sexy. You'll see how they move."

Saffron noted how Debbi looked somewhat askance at this. "Dolla uses bitches as a term of respect and affection for his ladies. He's very protective towards them" she assured her. "Absolutely, shows them the utmost respect" added the other American rep, picking up on the cue !
