Tonight's episode: Masques

Starring:  Matt Bomer as Guy Handsome,  Jared Leto as Joe Handsome and Special Guest Star Rosario Dawson as the Goddess Pele.

Guest star:  Emily Blunt


“This is a bad idea.”  Joe cautioned.

“This is a great idea!”  Guy insisted.

One of their sometime customers was throwing a costume party, and while Joe and Guy Handsome had technically not been invited, they had been told the time and date and place.  Plus, it was free food.  No, the brothers were not yet hurting for money, exactly, but they were not gaining any ground.

Since it had been Guy's idea, Joe had insisted that Guy come up with costumes.

He had several wonderful ideas, because, as brothers they had often donned theme costumes together ever since they were young (and their Mom had made them costumes.)

“Sherlock Holmes and Watson!”  Guy suggested.

“Victorian guys wear shirts!”  Joe pointed out.

“No Shirt Sherlock!”  Guy suggested.

Joe laughed, liking that idea but that meant they still needed to work around Watson.

“Diapers and nuks.”  Guy said.

“Nope, not really great for the picking up of les femmes.”  Joe countered.

“What about non-themed costumes?”  Guy asked, “You could go as Tarzan, which would be a chick magnet, and I will go as Thomas in his Oberon costume.”

“People will just think you are a monarch butterfly.”  Joe pointed out.

“No, people will think I am a SMOKING HOT monarch butterfly.” Guy corrected his brother.

Gaye Meadows looked up and saw the Handsome Brothers walking around her pool, even though she had not invited them to the party.  As she admired their mostly lack of costumes she saw the error in her ways.  She was dressed as a 1940s pin up girl, and she did it well.  “Hrm,” she said, as the butterfly performed a feat of legerdemain for another guest.  “Do I know you two?”  She asked, teasing.

Joe and Guy got ready to face the music.  Since they had danced to it already, it seemed only fair.  “We will stay and clean up.”  Joe offered.  (This almost always meant that Guy did the cleaning and Joe supervised.)

Gaye laughed and said, “oh, not only do you crash my party, but you want to finagle a way to stay late?”  Giving out a little shoulder with attitude.

Which made Joe do a body blush.

“No, it is fine.  I should have invited you both.  Not,” she added, “just because you are eye candy.  Because you are nice guys and always help people out.  I forgot for a moment to see you as people and not as pedicabbies.”  Then she gave them each a hug, “ but you can stay and clean up.”

Everyone had a great time.
