UES

I have occasion to be on the Upper East Side a lot now. Lemme tell you, babies, it is a different world from where you come from. It's wealthy and genteel and neighbourly in that racist and classist way such that people all know each other by name and old family businesses run the block, as they have for decades, and old Jewish ladies hire young black women to run their errands and chauffeur them around town. I know, what? How does that Craigslist ad read? Why does it have to be a young black woman? I don't know. But I can tell you that last year there was a sensational story of how punk band manager- cum- real estate agent (it's New York, play along) Linda Stein got murdered by her young black woman personal assistant with "a yoga stick." Oh man, they played that police press conference over and over where the detective related how the accused confessed to killing her after Stein just kept yelling at her and blowing smoke in her face while she (the PA) was trying to write Stein's emails for her. Hahahahahaha!
xo, See you in hell
