 This was already covered but it’s the pole dancing chapter for gosh sakes!

“Stu Gotz is sitting in his office, with a cigarette in one hand and a
paper cup of something ambiguous in the other. Soon the cigarette will be
in the cup. He runs a lengthy O-O. “You want to audition, MILF night is
Tuesdays, come back then.”

    Aha! A lengthy O-O just like the one the workers gave her in the lobby
of where was that again? Oh yeah, March Kelleher’s building when she goes
to show her the Stinger DVD in Chapter 25.

So it’s def a thorough looking-at. This is a new one for me. But reasonable.



Stu Gottz caters (unsympathetically) to fetishes:

Maxine “begins to look through the contents of a beat-up armoire against
the wall, full of somebody’s notion of glamorous lingerie, outfits of
subcultural interest—nun, schoolgirl, warrior princess—and spike heels,
each pair more, you would have to say, alluring, than the last, not
designer footwear exactly, maybe more in the Payless range, the sort of
shoes that get podiatrists to daydreaming of Ferraris and personal golf
lessons”

Good old Payless.


Considerately, Stu Gotz, or somebody, has put on a MILF-night mix, which
includes a lot of disco, plus tracks from U2, Guns N’ Roses, Journey. And
pandering to this crowd, way too much Moby for Maxine’s taste, except
possibly “That’s When I Reach for My Revolver.”


        U2 - that free album every iTunes account got is still in the
future… (-;

Guns’n’Roses -

Chinese Democracy? - though the Chinese Democracy Tour started in 2001, the
album is still in the future (2008)

Journey - Don’t stop believing!

Moby - “That’s When I Reach”

Actually a cover, or so say the comments.

“The one body part they won’t be staring at much is her eyes. This Male
Gaze she’s been hearing about since high school is not about to intersect
its female counterpart anytime soon.”

Oh so nice!


        About then on comes Jamiroquai’s “Canned Heat,” whose bass line
Maxine has never found a way to resist, and seized in some post-disco swoon
she forgets temporarily temporarily what she’s come here for, ignores the
pole, and succumbs to just dancing, and by the time the music has segued
into “Cosmic Girl,” she’s squatting on the bar in front of Eric, who seems
more fascinated by her glittery aqua shoes than anything, staying there
till the tape ends and everybody takes a break, then slithering over the
bar and down onto a barstool next to him.

    “I’m out of singles,” he begins.

Maxine makes the cut:

“ Which reminds me—at this time we are delighted to offer you a one-month
contract, provided only that you attend our Introductory Profiling Seminar,
which will acquaint you with the many varieties of technoscum and
psychosocial misfit all too sadly apt to be overrepresented among our
clientele.”


        She takes his card, which may come in handy someday though in ways
neither can see
            right at the moment.
