    My friend and I pulled up at valet parking in the front of the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. It was a warm spring evening and the sun had just begun to set behind the mountains. The air smelled fresh and clean, an anomaly for the strip I thought. I smiled to myself as I noticed the valet sneaking a peek at my legs as I extended them and stepped out of Sue’s car. Maybe this would be a good night after all. She smiled radiantly at me as I watched her walk around her car hearing to her high heels click on the ceramic pavers as she joined me. “Don’t worry,” she said, as she adjusted her short, red halter, cocktail dress, “I promise you’ll have a good time tonight.” I forced the best smile I could, all the while thinking that I should be back at my apartment finishing that finance paper or at the very least studying for mid-term exams next week.

The hungry eyes on us reminded me how much I loved dressing up and showing off a bit. We arrived at the door and Sue gave her invitations to the door man and we walked into the vast ballroom. I was shocked to see a full orchestra playing a catchy tune from the… I don’t know… 1950’s maybe? I had always loved jazz music so maybe this evening wouldn’t be too bad after all. If nothing else, it was going to be different than the dance clubs that I usually went to when I wanted a night out. “Get some drinks and I’ll find a table,” Sue said.
