I once had occasion to move in with my cousin for a month. She was working as an exotic dancer at the time. She only had a 1-BR apartment, so I slept on the sofa, but she did offer to let me have some space for my clothes. That’s how I found out that she had 14 kinds of g-string in a fully packed dresser. ---
