I'm from overseas, and had emailed Shay some weeks earlier, with no response. So initially I thought nothing was going to happen.
A couple of days before arriving in LA, I phoned her, and left a message on her voicemail. She called back within the hour and we tentatively set up a date and time. When I arrived in LA, I phoned again and she picked up. No problems re verification, etc.
We agreed on a time that she would visit my hotel.
As she was parking her car, she phoned and we agreed to meet in the lobby. I must admit, I was slightly wary, as perhaps her movies were somewhat dated and she may not have appeared as she once did. But I was pleasantly surprised that she looked even better than in her movies.
After a few pleasantries, we made our way to my room.
