holiday party post
Aphrodite's New York loft is done up to the nines.
The first good look as one enters is of twinkling Manhattan through the big windows, lights bright against a dark winter sky. The windows take up most of two walls; the rest of the space is largely empty, the star of the show a glowingly polished hardwood floor perfect for dancing.
There's a cluster of low-slung couches and chairs at one end of the room, velvet and leather and very inviting. They're situated by the fireplace, which lends them a cozy glow-- though it isn't cold anywhere in here, despite the windows.
Aphrodite is very proud of a few things about tonight:
1) The music, which spans a decent range of time periods and tempos, and will be playing for most of the evening.
2) The decorations, understated but quite lovely: softly glowing lights, silver and gold ribbons wound around columns and draped from the ceiling ... the occasional strategically placed bit of mistletoe.
3) Her dress.
And yes, darlings, there is a very well stocked bar and counter full of snacks.
That's what happens when you enlist the Three Graces to help you plan your shindigs.

He looks back at the pole and smirks. "Took some lessons a few years back. Lost a bet. Makes for a great party trick."

And with that, he heads off to the liquor table.

"Now, he gets up on the pole and he's doin' all these fancy twirls and holds 'n shit, and broads're practically throwin' their panties at him. I get up there, and I couldn't even lift my feet off the ground, I was so fuckin' wasted. Spent the next coupla months learning how to poledance from Fabio there.
"Now Chemo couldn't never keep his damn mouth shut about personal shit for long. And one day, unbeknownst to me, he mentions to our team leader that I was, y'know, learning to poledance in my spare time. So we're, y'know, training, gearing up for another deployment cycle, and then one day as our element headed into the ops room, I saw this giant pole right in the middle of the room.
"And I think to myself, 'oh, fuck.'
"Then the lights go down, these strobes and fog machines go on, the bass someone set up is thumping this electronic crap. Then our team leader says, 'Chemo tells me you know your way 'round this shit, Voodoo. Prove it.'
"Next thing I know, everybody's pushing me toward the pole, yellin' all kindsa shit. 'Dance, bitch! Dance!' 'Show us your tits!' 'Grind that shit!'
"And because I was such a good sport, I complied. Stripped down to the waist, showed 'em my stuff, laughing all the way. They even started throwing money at me halfway through because I was so damn good."
He takes a drink from his beer.
"But all in all, it was incredibly gay."
