Despite Aaron's efforts to keep Tasha from making a scene, the hybrid gathers a group of admirers as they make their way along Dream Street, where the middle-class can buy things that make them look a bit better off without breaking their budget.
Tasha finds a painting of succubi at the picture gallery, and draws the attention of the artist who takes one look at Tasha and then destroys the painting, claiming it was garbage compared to the real thing. The poodle then begs Tasha to model for him, in exchange for a portrait.
Aaron has no luck trying to talk Tasha out of it, and even ends up posing as her eunach slave in a very revealing portrait. For her part, Tasha barely notices her bareness, lost in contemplation of all the shiny bits of costume jewelry and gauze that the artist decorates her with.
After posing for the painting, Tasha is still up for more, so Aaron takes her to the Harem Club. A tigress belly dancer catches her attention and lures Tasha out onto the stage, where she becomes a prop for the next act: a half dozen topless Kavi acrobat-jugglers using scimitars.
