A basically meaningless anecdote that I think about often is Aaron Sorkin describing the nightclub 1 OAK.

(Those four words alone, my God!)

You know 1 Oak?

So I went and sat in 1 Oak for about half an hour.

[She gestures to his tan suit.]

Did you wear this?

Its a story of greed, excess, hubris, and bandage dresses; its a story about Hollywood.

Im fascinated bygossipandthe Pussy Posseand self-righteousmonologuing.Mollys Gamemakes good on all these interests.

At first her game was just a well-kept secret vice.

Before she took the Viper Room gig, Bloom was a talented normal.

In what feels like another life, she was an Olympic-hopeful skier.

There are daddy issues, meaningless trivia flaunted as genius, sanctimonious digs at tabloid gossip.

Idris Elba Stringer Bell himself!

is the lovingly gruff defender of Mollys honor.

(And he also puts on a truly punishing American accent, which Ive always found very charming.)

This Friday night, Ill be livetweeting it on Vultures account.

Are you all in?

(No, I dont know any other poker terms.)
