Dark Park

Staff Profile Number One

Hi Scrubber -Towners.  Stace and I thought we should start doing some staff profiles, just like Lainie and Janie used to do. Actually it was Lainie who reminded us and asked would we start off with Skye Frye, the sizzling blonde resident manager of Scrubber Town (that's Komik Kal's name for her and the nick-name has stuck). Lainie told us that she and Janie had been all set to write Skye's profile, but then Whitney and Britney had hijacked it and they ended up writing about them instead.

Anyway, we've decided to bring you two for the price of one. We'll write about Skye, along with her bestie Jules Jamieson who runs Jules Jewlz and is back after an extended leave of absence.

By the way, just so you know, Skye isn't the resident manager any more. No, she's sold her apartment within Scrubber-Town and has just rented a house with Jules in Dark Park. What? Dark Park ladies? Surely you can go more upmarket than that. Anyway maybe they'll be happy there. We hope so.

Turns out Skye and Jules have been friends, like forever. They first met in London when they were both tour guides around England and Europe.The company has now gone bust we hear. We wonder whether it had anything to do with the fact that Jules used to lose people regularly. Not only that, but she'd often take people to the wrong hotel and then fight with the manager when he wouldn't check them in. People used to finally arrive at their hotel about ten at night, tired, pissed off and hungry. There was often nowhere to buy anything to eat. As you might imagine, there were oodles of complaints. The last straw was when Jules lost a couple on a night excursion in Rome's Tivoli Gardens. The pair disappeared never to be seen again, in spite of searches done by Jules, the other members of the tour party, the staff at the gardens and the Italian police. Jules was summoned back to London and Skye took over her group. Of course, Jules was fired.

Just to make you feel better, the lost-in-Rome couple were eventually found some months later, living it up on the Riviera with expired passports. We just thought you might like to know, so as you wouldn't think Jules was a murderer or something. She isn't bad, just a scatter-brained bimbo' Sorry, Jules, but it's true.

Shortly after, Jules got a job in a London department store, selling you guessed it, jewellery. When Skye returned from Europe she and Jules rented a flat together. They hit it off really well despite the fact that Skye had her shit together and was neat and organised and Jules was a train wreck.

Around this time Jules started to realise she had a talent for making and designing jewellery. It was a bit trashy and tacky, but popular. However, Jules was fired yet again, cos she started selling and promoting her stuff along with the department store line and she hadn't asked anyone's permission.

Finding herself out on her ear, she set up a market stall on Old Kings Road and did amazingly well. Skye had by now been promoted in the tour company and was away even more frequently. Jules used to bring her Bohemian friends back to the flat for crazy parties. Wish we could have gone to some of those.Of course they trashed the place and one day when Skye returned home, she went ballistic and asked Jules to leave. Jules then went to live with some hippy friends, but a few weeks later was on Skye's doorstep in tears and told Skye she was pregnant and had absolutely no idea who the father was. Skye, who is really kind-hearted, forgave her at once and suggested that they make a fresh start.She said she was tired of being a tour-guide manager and living out of a suitcase, and would Jules consider going to Australia with her? Jules jumped for joy at the suggestion. Skye said she missed her family in Oz; and Jules wasn't close to any of her family in England and so it was agreed.

Back in Oz, Skye got work in an up-market department store. She also began doing some modelling for the store after she'd shed some of the London and European kilos. the consequence of eating chips and pastries. Skye tells us that in England, it's chips with everything.and the  European pastries are some of the most delectable. That sounds good to us; we're going tomorrow. Do you like our inclusion of the word consequence? Dr Una again; she 's been teaching us some more grown-up words to use. She's actually making us a vocabulary book.

.On their last night in London Skye and Jules danced the night away and yes, Skye was a redhead at that time. 

Jules continued making her 'joolry' as she calls it and it was something she could do at home while waiting for her baby to be born. She sold it in various markets and some shops in and around Sydney, which is where Skye and Jules started off. She did surprisingly well. About this time  Jules met and married a bloke called Justin Jamieson. He was a passenger services officer at Sydney Airport and he didn't mind at all that Jules was pregnant with someone else's baby. They got married quickly as they both felt the same about each other and didn't want to wait. Jules was seven months pregnant when she got married. We saw a photo and she looks really cute, pregnant tummy and all.

Skye just had heaps of boyfriends. She said marriage wasn't for her. We kind of like that idea, especially if you have rich boyfriends like Skye does. Stace and I have a theory about who Skye is going out with at the moment, but we'd better not say, cos if we're wrong, we'll get into big trouble.

Anyway, Jules had her baby, who she also named Justin, and Skye became a godmother. Sadly, after a few years, Jules and Justin's marriage didn't last, as she cheated on Justin a few times and they divorced. We won't go into any more detail, cos marriages, divorces and babies are so...o boring.

Skye and Jules are friends to this day and young Justin is a pilot with Asteroid Air. He said his Dad used to take him to work at Tullamarine Airport, Melbourne, where he went after the divorce, and he's loved planes from way back. Go Justin. He's pretty cute, but at 35, a bit old for us.

So now Skye and Jules are renovating their house at Dark Park. They've said that we can visit when it's finished. Cool. While they're waiting for the work to be done, they're off to Thailand for face-lifts.

'We'll hold each other's hand said Skye and howl with pain together and live on Duty-free bubbly.

       'Ouch, it's not our idea of a holiday, but whatever. Maybe the bubbly part.

Watch out girls! Not sure if they have sharks in Thailand, but most likely there's some water-nasties ready to sting or bite.

PS: How do you think Skye and Jules will cope with living together this time around?
