If I know my Simons, she's the Norton Simon Simon, and she has the same major mouth of teeth that Carly had. If only she has the rack. Or was it had the rack?

Looking for love with an 89 year old wealthy retiree. It could work. Look at Anna Nicole Smith.

They're looking for love
In all the wrinkled places
They're looking for love
In all the wrinkled faces

Somebody needs to push that POS around town. He's lucky it isn't me as I would push him off the Empire State Building! Problem is, NYC Police would have to arrest me for throwing trash on the street!! (please note vapid sarcasm included at no extra cost!!)
