Girlfriends



There are many times one regrets not having a girlfriend, but few are as difficult as at 2 am when you are throwing a romantic dance party. We put on Cat Power's cover of Sea of Love, got all dressed up and and started to dance. The only problem is that Dave has a beautiful and smart and lovely girlfriend by the name of Tara. And I have nobody.

Tara was gracious enough to spare one dance for me, but after that I had to get creative. So I dressed up a foot stool in Tara's clothes and shoes and had me an instant dancing partner. Still, I would have preffered a real person.
