The Place Where Pretty Girls Think You’re Smart And Funny · 7 August 09
The story is true, it takes place in a Japanese hostess bar, and it starts like this:
The woman who is being paid to flirt with me is very good.
She’s sitting in front of me, batting her eyelashes and playing with the translucent boa that hangs around her neck. She wears a form-fitting, purplish-red dress that looks like a prom outfit from a sultry alternate reality. Her eyelashes reach up and out, exaggerating her blinks and laughs. Those eyelashes can’t be real.
“You’re very handsome,” she says, leaning slightly toward me. I’m not inclined to argue. At that exact moment in time, I certainly feel very handsome.
But there are complications.
You should totally click here to read the rest on Glimpse’s site.
Because it turned into a pretty dang weird night, in which I am either A) kind of neat or B) a total clown.
Up to you.
