I was in line at American Apparel, waiting to pay. Noticed a beautiful woman staring at me with beautiful eyes. Next thing I noticed was her skin. Almost bronze. Then I noticed her jewelry. Gold. Heavy gold. A million piercings in her ear. And more piercings elsewhere. I asked here where she got her jewelry. She told me a friend of hers owns a shop on 2nd Ave. I asked her name. She told me Mara Hoffman. As soon as I got some money, I went there and bought some jewelry for myself. I got an 18k tongue-ring. Barbell. Just like Mara.
