There was some Euro rave festival outside and a beautiful, willowy Japanese girl wearing platform shoes, white furry thigh highs, a pink micro mini, and shimmering gold tube top wandered in to use our bathrooms. Her long hair was pulled back into girlish pigtails, and she looked like she had just flitted out of the pages of manga. She fainted on the stairs, a result of too much club drugs I suspect, and immediately 20 Samaritans, all men, made a bee line for her. They fussed over her, held her hand and tried to revive her. I had to laugh, because usually when patrons collapse people step over them and leave them to choke and die on their own vomit before alerting the staff.

Never underestimate the effects of the "Asian plague."
Haha! This is really funny. I like the way you describe it.
see, if they wore those furry thigh highs & tube tops... crack heads would get much more love & care from passers by.
