**It's still the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marathon on Shadowplay TV**
Hello, my beloved young lady Julia. Let's go over the logistics of my attending or performing at the fashion show, assuming that I'm wanted there. First off, we have to be married. I'm not going there without you as my spouse, I don't care how much I'm paid. I'm not going to abandon my station here even for a short while, until what is being built here produces its rewards, and I can afford to marry you. That means having a house and good living prepared for you before I pick you up in Germany. Then we can go to New York together after you've settled down, if you absolutely have to. I have absolutely no desire to go to New York, not for any amount of money. I'm thoroughly unimpressed with glitz and glamour, and with arrogant billionaires who are useless to others without their money. Yet there's still a lot of poverty in America....

Yes, it's still the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marathon on Shadowplay TV. I don't think I want to sing live on the fashion show. Not that they'll ever ask me to: they'll probably just get Lady Gaga or something. Be my guest. I'm too lazy to travel to the stinking city just for one appearance... urgh, I HATE the city. Yeah, I know I'm not going to let you travel alone, but I don't even want to see the show live as a spectator. What? You want me to see the show live? Are you mad? I'm not the smartest person in the world, but I'm not dumb enough to be caught on camera ogling half-naked girls in the same room as my wife! No, thank you. I'll just wait for you in the lobby. Maybe there'll be a place to plug in my laptop so I can play Krush, Kill and Destroy. The only reason I would ever sing at that show is because of you, and we're not even married yet. And if I do, then I'll be blindfolded: you're going to have to hold my hand all the time. Forget it! I'll be in the lobby nursing the baby.

Qur'an 20120602
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
46. Say, "I do admonish you on one point: that you do stand up before Allah, in pairs or alone, and reflect. Your companion is not possessed: he is no less than a warner to you, in face of a terrible penalty."
47. Say, "No reward do I ask of you: it is in your interest. My reward is only due from Allah, and God is Witness to all things."
48. Say, "Verily my Lord does cast the Truth. God that has full knowledge of what is hidden."
49. Say, "The Truth has arrived, and falsehood neither creates anything new, nor restores anything."
50. Say, "If I am astray, I only stray to the loss of my own soul. But if I receive guidance, it is because of the inspiration of my Lord to me. It is God Who hears all things, and is near."
Sheba 34:46-50

Hello, my precious Julia. It's still the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marathon on Shadowplay TV. Those wings can get rather heavy, can't they? It pains me to see the strain on your beautiful legs as you walk. But I'm sure you are well aware of that, and you are the consummate professional, and a lady. It's not as if you're dragging a tree of light cans on your back. Oh, you've done that? Yes, I know you have. My poor Julia. You are strong, my love. And I love you so.
And when you are alone in your home, please recite the Qur'an out loud. Just a little bit, the English translation will suffice if you don't know Arabic. Compare the little bit that you read with what happens to you at the time. You will discover in part that you are never alone, that you are being listened to, for Allah Understands the finest mysteries, and is Well-acquainted with them.

34. Never did We send a Warner to a population but the wealthy ones among them said, "We believe not in that with which you have been sent."
35. They said,"We have more in wealth and in sons, and we cannot be punished."
36. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Provision to whom God pleases, but most men understand not."
37. It is not your wealth nor your sons that will bring you nearer to Us in degree, but only those who believe and work righteousness. These are the ones for whom there is a multiplied Reward for their deeds, while secure they are in dwellings on high.
38. Those who strive against Our Signs, to frustrate them, will be given over into Punishment.
39. Say, "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts the Sustenance to such of God's servants as God pleases, and nothing do you spend in the least but God replaces it, for God is the Best of those who grant Sustenance."
40. One Day God will gather them all together, and say to the angels, "Was it you hat these men used to worship?"

Yes my beloved young lady Julia, it's still the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show marathon on Shadowplay TV. Say Julia, who's the boss model over there at Victoria's Secret? Yeah, there's management and all that, but who's the boss model among the girls over there at Victoria's Secret? Yeah, I know you're a family, and I don't want to stir things up maybe, but like my Mom bosses me around all the time, and I have to let her, mostly because I love her. Then I observe how Chee Chee is the top cat of the yard for the simple reason being that she's the only cat allowed in my house, while any other cat that tries to make an illegal entry would get a swift whomp with a broom I hang by the front door. This results in a whole squadron of cats hanging outside my front door waiting to earn their stripes (the most persistent one being a striped cat). Therefore there has to be some sort of a pecking order among the models there at VS. Back in the Jurassic period, the fearsome T-Banks and the motherly Mrs. Klum were clearly the first hogs to the trough. Nowadays it seems that a member of the Brazilian Bureau is Queen Chicken of the henhouse, an educated guess would be Alessandra. But even Brazilian models can grow old, so there inevitably will be a power struggle soon. You people better start taking sides! I'm casting my vote now. I nominate my sweetie Julia to be Boss Model at Victoria's Secret because she's the sexiest, the prettiest, the most beautiful, and the most everything else! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! WOO HOO!! You go, girl! Please maintain your prayers, and try your best to cover your skin and hide the great beauty that Allah gave you.
And Allah knows those who are our allies, and the ones who are all talk and no positive action. I love you, Julia!

27. Say, "Show me those who you have joined with God as partners... by no means! No, God is Allah, the Exalted in Power, the Wise."
28. We have not sent you but as a universalist to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them, but most men understand not.
29. They say,"When is this promise, if you are telling the truth?"
30. Say, "The appointment to you is for a Day, which you cannot put back for an hour, nor put forward."
31. The unbelievers say, "We shall neither believe in this scripture nor in that before it." Could you but see when the wrongdoers will be made to stand before their Lord, throwing back the word on one another! Those who had been despised will say to the arrogant ones, "Had it not been for you, we should certainly have been believers!"
Sheba 34:27-31
