For many years, Tampa his an innermost secret desires. He desperately wanted to be in a VSI smoking vid. Thus, he decided to go to an upscale outlet mall and 'pretend' to smoke unlit Virginia Slim 120s. He thought he was doing well, striking 'pretend' matches and faking shallow inhales... but then he noticed that people, both men AND women, were making gestures and laughing at him.

At first Tampa was convinced that it was the VS120's that caused people to laugh, but later that evening, when a devastated Tampa returned to the trailer, Rodney pointed out the fact that Tampa's bright purple patent leather purse and 4 inch heels clashed violently with his gold lame evening gown and deep maroon eye shadow.
