I was from out on the Island like #CandyDarling, but a much more posh part. A steady reliable babysitter for the kids of household names. In the basement of Studio 54 I was catcalled. I turned around to see the lead singers of two huge bands watching me from a mattress. One of them then cried out "Oh my god! It's the babysitter." then quickly followed by "I never knew you were a guy." I was standing there in just Stevie's sports coat, my gaff hanging from my hand.
