No-one knew what the outcome would be. There had been rumors, though the pool party was engineered to get results. Wayne of Triple Advertising didn't spend money frivolously. They wanted results. The invitations had been gaged for just that, to promote the new range of swim-wear and to get it into all the well known celebrity magazines. There was nothing quite like free publicity.
