Does your chin piercing get hot in the sun?
No, no, it doesn’t.
How long are you in New York?
We’re just here for a week. We went to the B.B. King club last night, but it was boring. We need to figure out where to have fun.

POSTSCRIPT: After overhearing one another chatting with “Look Book,” Benito, Connie, Michelle, Jay, and Leroy ended up going to a techno dance party on the Lower East Side together. “It was very fun,” says Connie. “The guys from Holland were still partying when we left.”
