{{quotebox|And yet she never says the V word. No doubt there's a story there. [But] I think Kim is over-exposed in Jenny's circle of friends and shouldn't be front & center in anything else for a while.<br> A quote did come to me a while back, which she may never say in a story: “I lived a very conventional life once.
