Taking Pictures in the Bathroom


Yesterday I walked into the girl's bathroom in the basement of my favorite drinking hole on the West Side, and there was a group of about 10 ten girls in the there, posing and taking photos of themselves in front of the stalls. They kept talking about how "hot" the bathroom was. It's not. It's so filthy they don't put lights in over the toilets so you don't have to witness the squalor you're dangling yourself over. Then one girl said "This (bathroom?) is so meta." Also not. If the bathroom were inside of another, bigger bathroom made of discarded Reynolds Wrap, maybe.

What was the point of this? Is this some kind of Internet phenomenon? Large groups of girls taking pouty pictures of themselves in the bathrooms of dive bars?

PS: Saw Liza at the Palace last night! What a survivor.
PPS: New Year's Eve status update--plans slightly firmer. Like, the consistency of a flan.
