Vanity or aesthetic sensitivity?

I would consider myself a mean person--many of my character references would agree. I love Paris because it offers a right of passage for all women to be mean. I, of course, have taken full advantage of this (how could I not??). It's out of necessity, really. This city is over infested with creepers who possess a disproportionate amount of self-confidence. One would think that a stern "No" and one particular finger would kill their game. Quite the opposite. It takes a lot of special words before they get the hint. If that's not determination, then I don't know what is. The fact that they think they have a shot with me is what really perplexes me. Greasy drunkards do not interest me. Time is money so don't waste my time. NEXT!!!!
