Beauty Bar

Katie held her birthday celebration tonight in the East Village at the Beauty Bar, where several of us had been before but not recently. This was made clear when we noticed most of the other people there looked to be in their mid-20s, with their Urban Outfitter apparel and ironic facial hair. We had a rousing good time anyway. The place is a converted beauty salon where you can get a manicure or nail-painting while sitting in a barber chair or under one of the original “chrome-dome” hair dryers. Smells like nail polish and cheap beer.
