club stank. it's not nearly as bad now that i've moved out of smokey nyc and to smoke-outside-only l.a., but i have to go out on the patio sometimes, too, where the smoke is pretty thick, and that gets me anyway. and smoke machines (fog) leave a weird stink, too. i remember that from musical theater in high school. and my pants sort of drag, so, no matter what, i come home dirty. and people at red seem to love spilling drinks on me (eau de vodka on this arm, eau de "adios, mothefucker!" on my shoulder). but it's the worst when i shower (lather, rinse repeat!) and my hair still reeks of cigarettes .
