    It’s also not as hip and sexy as the iPhone was at the time. People didn’t care how well the iPhone worked at first. They just had to have one because it was the coolest thing on earth at the time.

    My iPhone legit got me laid a few times in the first few months I own it. It got me the phone number of Del Marquis, the guitarist from the Scissor Sisters at a party in November 2007. I’m not fucking kidding. I would like to think it was because I was that smoking hot back then, but no, he was more interested in my brand new iPhone. (I was very hot back then, but my iPhone was hotter.)

      Exactly. Well… not exactly as that particular story was very particular indeed.

      But it was what I meant. I don’t think the goggles will have the same effect, even you in your prime tauting them.

        They certainly would not have, lol. Nobody on earth is that hot, not even Del Marquis.

        And I know that story sounds fantastical and difficult to believe, and you’re free not to believe it, but I promise it really happened. It was at a Bank revival party at Vault in New York in November 2007. I ran into him by completely by accident. But it happened. it was rather a high point of that year, actually.

        And, for the record, I was way too chickenshit to ever call him. It turns out that I am way more brave with five martinis in me and a nose full of cocaine than I am the next morning with my head screaming at me.

          I know that story sounds fantastical and difficult to believe,

          Well I didn’t really doubt it, as it’s way too specific to have been made up and it’s fun to imagine, but with goggles on, lol. Thnx for sharing!
