It’s Christmas Eve 2012 and I’m standing at a bar. The topless girl serving me has just finished pouring a string of Patron shots and judging by how clumsily she did so, I’m assuming she is as drunk as I am. This is the Cabaret Club staff party. Held on premises, the scene before me was in stark contrast to that you would typically find. It’s comical how detached the reality of the situation before me is in comparison to what most would expect. The room is void of its rowdy clientele and the only exposed flesh in sight belongs to the bar staff hired by management for the night. I was not solicited for money. I simply enjoyed the company of a group of fellow human beings celebrating the end of the festive season with an excessive amount of alcohol. That sounds a lot like your Christmas party doesn’t it? In fact, the resemblance between this and any other Christmas party you’ll ever attend is uncanny. 57
