opened up dresser drawers until she found one that held undergarments.  She threw underwear and stockings on the bed, tilted her head thoughtfully, picked the panties back up, and put them back in the drawer.  “You won’t need panties.  The whole point is to get you fucked.”
     
    “Jesus, Maur! ”  Kate threw up her arms.  “What does it take—”
     
    “I’m your friend, Katie.”  Maureen pointed at the clothes on the bed.  “That means that sometimes I have to give you what you need instead of what you want.  Put the damn clothes on.”
     
    “It’s already ten o’clock.” Even as she said it, Kate picked up the stockings and started to pull them on.  She could never stand up to Maureen, not in high school and not now.  “Where the hell are we going to go?”
     
    “We’re going to go where horny men are.”
     
    “Men are horny everywhere.”  Kate slipped off the negligee and pulled the dress over her head.
     
    “That’s the spirit,” Maureen said as she reached into her purse and pulled out a silver tube.  “Here, I bought you some slutty lipstick.”
     
    She started to protest, but Maureen had her Don’t Mess w ith Me look on, so Kate grabbed the lipstick and stomped into the restroom.  As she applied it to her lips, she looked at herself.  She was still good looking.  Her hair was just as red at thirty as it had been at eighteen, and it framed a beautiful face with high cheekbones and plump lips.  It cascaded down over her shoulders, and Kate remembered why she liked the green dress.  It made her hair seem brighter and deeper.  She stepped back and admired the way the dress framed her body, showing off her curves.  She turned around and looked at herself.  Maybe she didn’t have a tiny little girl ass, but the ass she had was a whole hell of a lot hotter anyway. 
     
    She started for the door but turned around and added mascara and a soft green eye shadow.  Her eyes were somewhere between green and blue, but with the dress and the makeup, the green was more prominent.  Finally, she stepped out of the bathroom and told Maureen, “Okay, let’s get this fiasco over with.”
     
    Maureen handed her green high heels and she slipped into them.  The two walked out of the house and into the car.  Kate reached into Maureen’s glove box and took a cigarette and a lighter.  Both women said, “I thought you quit” at the same time, and both laughed.
     
    Kate finally smiled at her friend.  “Look Maur, I’m not all that interested in getting laid tonight, but I guess it will be good to get out.  Where are we going to find a good man this late on a Tuesday?”
     
    Maureen pulled out of the driveway and started toward the freeway.  “Light up one of those for me too, Honey.”  Kate lit the cigarette in her hand, handed it to Maureen, and found another for herself.
     
    “Seriously, I—”
     
    “Honey,” Maureen smiled and took a draw from the cigarette.  “We don’t need to find a good man, we just need a horny man, and we’re gonna find one at The Sixer.”
     
    “What’s that, a new club?”
     
    Maureen laughed.  “Oh no, baby.  It’s been around for a long time.  We’re going to get you over that tape.”
     
    It wasn’t until Maureen pulled into the parking lot that Kate realized what was happening.  “Oh, Jesus, Maur.  You’re really taking me to a tittie bar?”
     
    “Watch your mouth, Katie.  It’s a gentleman’s club.  It says so right on the sign.”
     
    “I don’t think I can go in there.”
     
    Maureen put her hand on Kate’s knee.  “Honey, let’s just sit here a moment and get used to the idea.”
     
    Kate looked at the building.  Except for the neon sign flashing Live, Nude Girls! the place looked like any other club.  She felt her heart beating faster.  “I really don’t think I can go in there.”
     
    Maureen sighed and said, “Honey, you need to get over this…”  She looked up and seemed thoughtful
