Roxanne in La La Land

From ROXANNE IN LA LA LAND:
“Shiny people fill the crystal ballroom. Women glitter and move through men in a strange slow-motion ballet. Is this a James Bond movie? Am I Roxanne Donally from Castle Rock, Washington? I feel elegant for a second, then I notice the loose strings on my eyelet lace top, and my distressed jeans look dirty and old. And what is my hair doing? I pull and twist it around my neck, just in case. I look at Dave for reassurance. Does he still think I’m cool next to all these diamonds?”
