Helpline for Camille

Comtesse de Segur, nee Rostophshine. Real name Sophie. Camille and
Madeleine will always be the “role model girls.” They will never be Anna
Karenina. They will never succumb to temptations. They will always be the
perfect Playdo girls. We all love Playdo. It’s Playdophelia.
Our house will always smell of mother’s Mum21 (The back one) and the tel-
evision will always play that jingle “Mum mum21, sihrouki bakin, sihrouki
mum” (Your charm is lasting, your charm is mum), and among the things
that stay, are the other ones that will change. And people will need to believe.

“Massage” centers (Or anti-stress), are now announcing in the classiads
magazine “Al Waseet” (Which disappears faster than hot cookies on a rainy

(And whatever else they have stamped on their passport which gets confis-
cated upon their arrival, have run away with the other foreigners during the
July war.

Lord said you have taken for free you shall give for free. If you want to have
a copy of the old testament or the new one as a free gift call us.
“Hello this is Camille… I saw your ad in Al Waseet…”
“Hello Camille. The Lord be with you. What is troubling you my child?”
“I work in a massage center, my passport was confiscated when I entered
Lebanon. I cannot escape. I feel helpless.”
“Calm down Camille. Please tell me from the beginning.”
“My sister and I, her name is Madeleine, we come from Ukraine and we
came here. And…”
“Don’t cry Camille. Don’t cry. The Lord sees your trouble and sympathizes.”
“….”
“Calm down my child.”
“Maybe I should go – tonight we are working at the Super night club. There’s
a shortage of girls so we have double shift.”
“Confide in me. It will help you.”

“Now that there are all the United Nations soldiers, we have to work harder.
So many men came in. But sometimes they’re nice and they offer “extra.”
They even open me and Madeleine a bottle of champagne. Of course, every-
one knows that the bottle is just sparkling wine but we like to call it cham-
pagne, it makes us feel better about ourselves. Maybe I should go now.”
“Camille don’t hang up. I have the perfect solution to stop your tears!”
“Really? What is it?”
“Johnson’s baby shampoo… It has a “no more tears” stickers on it, I am sure
the bible recommends it somewhere…”
“Oh thank you for the great advice. Goodbye. I just hope my grandmother
Sophie is not seeing this from heaven. Goodbye.”
