In June 1999 in World Championship Wrestling, Lenny Lane approached Lodi and stated "They're not doing much with me and they're not doing much with you. Why don't we form a tag team?" Lane and Lodi were renamed The West Hollywood Blondes. The Blondes were an effective heel tag team, though they rarely won matches.
In an upset victory, Lane defeated Rey Mysterio, Jr. on the August 19 episode of WCW Thunder in Lubbock, Texas to win the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship. With the assistance of Lodi, he defended the title successfully throughout the next six weeks. On the October 3 episode of WCW Monday Nitro, Psychosis was announced as having defeated Lane for the World Cruiserweight Championship at an unspecified house show. Lane didn't appear that night and Psychosis defended and lost the title to Disco Inferno instead. They returned as "Standards and Practices", a censorious duo who opposed the "adult themes" present in WCW. In a drastic departure from their previous appearance, they wore designer suits, carried briefcases and were accompanied by a secretary, Miss Hancock. She would often stand in the ring or on the announcers table and do a sultry dance. This would distract not only their opponents but Lenny and Lodi as well. Miss Hancock later left Lenny and Lodi, and Standards and Practices became simply XS until they both left or were released from WCW.
