Hmmm... a ban on naked male models you say? Spoilsport

Here's a little tale for you, but it's a bit twisted. The winner will be the one who can retell it in the correct order, and add a fitting final sentence.
A halfwit in a leotard, I stand before you naked to the eyes. As the stars sparkle down like a diamond ring, if I surround myself with positive things I'm watching porn in my hotel dressing-gown. You choose your passion for glory.

O contrair mon ami!
I did indeed read and enjoy post 4969 at the time, but the game seemed to be moving along again and I didn't want to interfere.
Yet let me say now, I was very much impressed. You might even say I was 'gob-stopped'.

I have spent the last 2 days in my bed with flu.
No progress has been made.
Can we either have a clue or is it time for the Borg to take over?
