A LONG TIME AGO IN LAS VEGAS
Maxine Sharp was a self made woman. Her Oklahoma Dust bowl childhood was a distant nightmare now. Running the wedding chapel chain in Vegas had made her rich beyond her wildest dreams.
The minister dressed as Elvis idea, was such a hit that Maxine took it to the Vegas strip and produced her own Elvis impersonation show. It was sold out every week. Her new apartment on the 15 Th floor gave her excellent views of the city she loved.
Happily married to the love of her life Merrill Sharp, her child Deacon, was the sweetest boy a mother could dream of having. Deacon loved dressing as a little Elvis ring bearer on weekends at the chapel.
The Wax House
Merrill Sharp was an Australia transplant having gone to art school in California. He dreamed of being famous for his landscapes of the Australian outback. Merrill would often take time from his job as director of the celebrity wax museum to go off into the Nevada desert to sketch. Elizabeth, was never far from his mind. First loves never are. She was so innocent and soft. Like a gentle flower, fragile and so very beautiful.
The wax museum job was not what he had intended to do, but Maxine had landed him the job from her connections with Wayne Newton.
Cadillacs & Cupcakes
Detroit winters were long and cold. Unemployed and all alone with a young son. Gloria needed work. Now that Tom had disappeared and her older son Michael had left home. Gloria saw an ad in the paper for convention work in Las Vegas. She took her bags and son out of the closet. Loaded the clunker and took off for the glamour of Las Vegas Nevada.
Gloria found a job modeling Cadillac's at the auto show. She would describe the horsepower in such a sexual way, that men gathered just to listen to the hot gal from Detroit, turn pistons and 8 cylinders into male erections of equal power as Cupcake purred!... while caressing leather seating... testing every man's cruise control!
Merrill Sharp walked into the convention hall one Saturday. He happened upon Gloria. He was fascinated by the way Gloria carried herself on stage. Merrill followed Gloria on her break to the concession stand. She turned around with a cupcake in hand and from that day forward Merrill always referred to Gloria as his Cupcake.
Four years passed. Gloria would arrive in late winter and stay until May in Las Vegas working various conventions. Sometimes she would bring Kevin. But mostly Gloria left him with a friend in Detroit so he could finish out the school year. Gloria made enough money from the convention in tips that she could go back to Detroit for the rest of the year.

He goes back to his hometown and discovers that she has died. Merrill takes a hard look at his life and decides to end the affair with Cupcake once he returns home.
