More Having Fun with "V"
"Take Me To Your Leader"  by Jaime Boler

You came in fifty motherships
That took our breaths away
You looked like us but only lies came from your lips
Many believed everything you'd say.
You stripped away our freedom in the blink of an eye
Converted leaders all over the world
While you were dressed in your disguise
Then the Visitor flags began to unfurl.
You promised peace, you promised a cure
We could work together
Said your aims were pure
Earth and Sirius--friends forever
Yeah, right!
Take me to your Leader
They're some things I gotta know
Take me to your Leader
Come on!  Let's go
Take me to your Leader
I wanna see his lizardness
Take me to your Leader
Let him answer for all this mess.

You think you're going to make my girl your bride
Well, I don't think so
She'll never be on your side
And always see you as foe.
You've done all you can to tear us apart
But we're still fighting strong
Knew from the very start
That what your people are doing is wrong
You promised peace, you promised a cure
We could work together
Said your aims were true
Earth and Sirius--friends forever
Yeah, right!
Take me to your Leader
They're some things I gotta know
Take me to your Leader
Come on!  Let's go
Take me to your Leader
I wanna see his lizardness
Take me to your Leader
Let him answer for all this mess.
"New Store Opening"  By Victoria Hibbard

A new store is opening on Rodeo Drive in L.A. for all of the upper "scale" Sirians
who wish to indulge their native tastes.  It's called Venom Sacs Fifth Column Avenue...
A sample of their inventory:
Venom Wash Jeans--They've had acid wash, stone wash, etc.  Well, now the rage is Venom Wash...spattered with real venom for an interesting pattern.  Any discriminating Sirian will tell you that patterning is where it's at...
Second Nature hair care products--These are specially created shampoos, hairsprays, gels and conditioners designed with a Visitor's wig in mind.  After all, if one must tromp around in a pseudoskin, why not make it look good?
The cosmetics counter sports the latest in Sullam Voe Grooming Essentials.  First, there is Pattern Pizzazz...a special stick gloss that a Sirian rubs along the veins of their patterning to make it glossy and highly visible.  Also known as Pattern Enhancer or Scale Gloss.  Then, of course, there's fragrance.  Essence of Rat Musk, endorsed by none other than Fleet Chief of Security Lydia is here!  The fragrance is also available in scale mist and bath oils.  A large compliment of PseudoLube will be sold in the cosmetics section, too.  There is also lipstick, blushers, and eyeshadows available for Sullam Voe women's true appearances.  They come in colors to compliment their natural coloring, but are given names of a trendy, Earth flavoring.  Lipsticks are available in the following: Green Geyser, Seafoam, Succulent Spearmint, Basil Leaf, Sassy Grass, All Over Clover, Teal Appeal.  All lip colors will soon have coordinating Claw Polish.  Blushers and coordinating eyeshadows are sold in duo packs in the following colors: Terran Soil, Contact Brown (which will be a nice color to use when wearing pseudoskin as well), Shamrock Surprise, Green Tea, Chameleon, Minty Mist, Classic Copper, Translucent Pattern, Terran Terracotta. 
Over in the men's section, a sale is being advertised on an item of male outerwear popularized by the late 5th Columnist Martin.  It is the all purpose Photographer's Vest.  Perfect for weekend wear, it's in high demand!  Sullam Voe men have also popularized the so tight denim jeans look, so they too can have their jeans riding up their...ummm...just like Mike Donovan!
And last but not least, no Sullam Voe department store is complete without a large selection of sunglasses.  Forget the bulky beta blockers that were handed out on board the mothership as standard military issue.  Popular and customized styles are now available, with lenses specially tinted for maximum comfort to the discriminating, Earthbound Sirian.
Of course, since most Sirians have prescriptions for AntiTox, a full service pharmacy which takes hatchhealth Health Plan will be in service on the lower level of the store.  Customers may purchase pill boxes in a variety of fashionable designs.  Sirians should keep their eyes "peeled" for Contact Wash, a preparation designed to ease the irritation caused by wearing contacts. 
A special Grand Opening celebration is planned, and will be televised.  Rumored to be filming the event is none other than Mike Donovan, the famous newsman formerly a member of the Los Angeles Resistance.  A confirmed appearance by former resistance fighter Elias Taylor has been announced.  He will be giving away free "Club Creole" Polo shirts to the first 100 customers to commemorate the re-opening of his famous restaurant establishment.
