i have and in a creeping kinda way. so i was at shattered for my normal night of fun dancing to 80's music. matt and kim were not there as promised. and these two guys come in around 11 who could probably be pimps, if i thought columbia had any. one was a tall and skinny black guy, dressed in a leisure suit with a big black feathered hat, yes feathered, and a cane. the other was a shorted, about 5'5, man who was either white and really tan or mexican, his name was sam, at least that is what he told me later in the evening. sam was dressed less loudly but still stupid, jeans, blues stripped long-sleeved button up shirt, white shoes and a white baseball cap with the brim flat, like the kids do now-a-days, titled to the side. at first they were harmless and an easy target for jokes and then enters stephens college freshman who got drunk before they left the dorm, or in reality at sapphire lounge. these girls are sorta friends of mine, they are some of the cooler freshman we have and i like them. these two colorful characters come up to them a total of 3 times are are denied whatever they are asking about. the girls are too shy to say anything to the bouncers but i'm not. so i tell nathan and keller what is happening. they tell me to come straight to them next time so they can kick them out. about an hour passes and nothing happens, i am pleased by this, the pimps took the hint, or so i thought. so any of you who have been to shattered in the summer know, it gets pretty hot and you need water that is pretty cold. the nice workers of shattered provide this for us in a cooler near the front door, i head for the water. the two guys are standing at the bar and see me walking towards them, the black guy steps in front of me and sam is on my right side. the conversation goes pretty much as follows:
black: where is your boyfriend?
me: what?
black: where is your boyfriend?
me: he is the manger of eastside tavern.
black: is he here?
me: no, he is at work ( in my head duh!)
black: what decade are you dressed from?
me: the fifties "( i am wearing my black and white polka dotted pencil skirt and a white,short-sleeved button up shirt with black lace on the collar, and black flat mary-jane's)
black: you pull it off well
me: thanks
::keep in mind kids, i get nervous when i am corner so i am giggling a lot::
sam: hi my name is sam (shakes my hand)
me: hi, nice to meet you
sam: you qualify to satisfy ( as he says this he takes his hand and runs his index and middle finger up and down my right thigh and then place is on my hip)
me:: giggle
there is a stop in the conversation and i turn around, without getting my water, and go straight to keller and nathan and recount this tale. the pimps are removed from the premises. sam was cool with it the black guy was not, but either way they were gone. as the night goes on some girl, who is drunk, grinds on me. after that i left to walk back to eastside. i was terrified but clearly i made it. on my walk a red mustang was following me with some frat boy douche-bag honking and yelling. long night. i only have a few comments about this to make:
1. i felt disgusted but these men
2. i felt dirty
3. i wanted to cry
4. where in the world to people get the right to talk to me like that?
5. were in the world to people get the right to touch me like that?
6. finally, i still feel kind of dirty.
thanks for listening...
