When I was 22, I had a 19-yr-old Russian friend/ roomate. In Russia, Irina had been kicked out of her ballet company for partying too much and several 'exhaustion' episodes. I met her at school in Seattle where she then lost her scholarship from drinking on campus. At 5'9", blonde, blue eyes and all legs, she started modeling but was soon booted after coming home wasted at 9am with our new male rmate, missing her flight to nyc. She had a good cry then asked me for some condoms.
That winter, I learned about caviar on toast, freezing vodka, and eating butter before binge drinking.
