Agent X

My Great Idea

For the second year in a row, I was not invited to the Agents’ Choice Awards party. Sometimes it really blows having to hide my identity. I did have spies, but sadly I missed the vino (though I heard

Do You Remember Your First Time?

X is back, baby! Did you miss me? I didn’t miss you while I was lounging on the beach sipping mai tais. You know how I afford gallivanting around the world – working with first-time buyers! I worked with

My Own P’s
