(Vanessa sings First Thing On Your Mind)

J: Have a seat

V: Thankyou

J: There you go

J: Hey, its good to see you again

V: Good to see you too, I was here last christmas time

J: I know. You've been touring for a while, are you doing the whole bus thing?

V: Doing the bus thing!. We've been out since August

J: How do you like just living in a bus?

V: Its cool! It took me a while, I've been recording for 10 years, so it took me like 9 years to get out there on the road but its kind of cool though. We have a girls bus and a guys bus and then a crew bus

J: Does the boy bus ever run into the girl bus, how does that work?

V: We travel in a caravan, but the rule is...

J: What are you, 13?

V: Its like a big slumber party, its cool, we travel in a caravan. There is one rule. In the bus we have toilets, but we cant do number two on the bus. So, we've made a pact that if anyone has to do number two...

J: I think I get the idea

V: We all pretend that we all have to go. So no one else can see us get off the bus to be the one that: "Im the one on the bus who is stoping the caravan". We all do it together, so thats our pact girls!!

J: And they say show business people are inmature. So, what happens does a guy ever sneak into the girls bus?

V: No, no only invited guests. We have a very cool bus. Candles, inciense, Show Girls is one of our favorites

J: You watch Show Girls? Thats the same thing we do in our bus!. So, what are they doing in the boys bus?

V: mmhh? what do the watch in the boys bus? They are always palying instruments, telling jokes, and reading Dostoyevski, its a pretty brainy group

J: Pretty brainy group. So you are also the new L'OREAL spokesperson?

V: Yeah!

J: Thats pretty nice

V: Just out now, which is ironic since I had the worst skin on the planet

J: Oh yeah! you have terrible skin!

V: When I was in high school!!

J: Look at you, you are the most beautiful woman

V: But that is now!, I'm 34!

J: Oh! So skin gets better as you age! of course!

V: Thats it! And now Im, like, beauty queen

(JAY laughs)

V: What?

J: Makes me laugh. Look L'oreal she is mooning from the bus!

V: No, we threatened once, David Bowie's bus was behind us

J: And David Bowie has a bus! You know, I used to think show business was so glamorous, flying in jets. David Bowie he is the richest man in show business and he's got a bus!

V: He's got a bus! Buses are cool though

J: Alright nice to see you again

V: Thankyou

J: Say hi to those kids for me

V: I will

J: We'll be right back after this

END.
