UNDISCLOSED LOCATION—In this suburban neighbourhood, streets are lined with modest one and two-level homes. Many are decorated for the upcoming Halloween holiday. But there’s a recently discovered treat hiding in the midst of all these tricks.
“Holy shit. I couldn’t believe my eyes,” said delivery driver and father of two, Sal Overstein. “I was raking leaves last weekend when I saw her. I mean, I’d seen her before and she looked familiar, but I’d never recognized her. Then she bent over to move a jack-o-lantern and BAM! I knew right away. It was her.”
Overstein is referring to neighbor Barbara Jones, who also goes by her adult film name, RazorCandi. Jones bought a house on the street 14 months ago, but has mostly kept to herself.
Single parent and pharmacist Brian Titan had no idea there was a star living on the street. “Sal came running across the cul-de-sac a few days ago when I got home from work. It took him a minute to catch his breath and explain that Raz- Miss Candi was living in the little blue house. But once I understood, I was pretty excited, too.”
Overstein and Titan spread the news at their weekly poker game. When the group was asked how their wives felt about the discovery, high school gym teacher Matt Apsley quickly spoke up. “Don’t tell them! I mean, Mrs. RazorCandi obviously doesn’t want to be bothered, so let’s just respect her privacy.” The rest of the group nodded emphatically.
Mooseclean’s asked Roberta Overstein whether she knew the woman. “Not really. She seems to keep odd hours and I only ever see her walking between her car and her front door. I think maybe she works at a theme restaurant or is an actress because she’s always wearing some kind of costume.”
Mothers living on the street have noticed a marked increase in fathers volunteering for Halloween duty. “Brian made me promise to let him take Jason and Patrick trick-or-treating this year,” said Claudia Titan. “I think he feels like he hasn’t spent much time with the kids lately. He’s been really busy with work, spending so many late nights in the den on his computer.”
Ms. Jones refused comment for this story.
