Fasalina
The DJ asked everyone at the bar to give a big round of applause. Nobody did. Nobody ever does. One after another the girls trudge down the spiral staircase, take off their clothes, pretend to dance, and when the song is over the girls go around the bar to collect tips. I don’t feel like [...]
