The Muse

Upscale urban flophouse submits to clean mod interiors: white enamel glows ultra-violet from rainbow-brite chandeliers, wood looks like plastic. Flat screens as wall art. Asian twenty-somethings blow big bucks, swarm around bottles of Bombay Sapphire, confront dance floor inhibitions. Dig video game layout: level one plays bump n' grind hip hop mixed with the radio; on level two they move like robots to twenty-minute house tracks. Lounge on level three, delete strangers' numbers from your iPhone.
