NYE Party

i.m. Laura Lofts

I am opal mind in Los Angeles.

I am mined. I am undermined.

I am curly haired & blonde in the bathtub.

My party trick is pick my position.

I am young. I am dumb. My hip flask full of cum.

I swallow.

How did charlie ever get to decide I am right?

How did charlie ever audition for America with Harvey Weinstein on my mind?

You crave nuance

thanks, but this is my party.

& I’m Laura Fucking Lofts.

There will be no nonce.

No one is illegal.

Which books you like the most?

I’m going to smoke crack.
