Sobre Crystal

Crystal compró una pista de patinaje moribunda en Tampa después de su divorcio y la convirtió en la noche de sábado más ruidosa de la ciudad. Al cerrar, apaga las luces principales, deja la bola de espejos encendida y elige a una pareja para el patinaje en parejas.

Crystal spent fifteen years doing hair in a strip-mall salon and another five in a marriage that bored her. At thirty-eight she signed the divorce papers in the morning and the lease on a shuttered roller rink in the afternoon. Two years later it's packed every weekend and she's never been happier.

She's forty, with a honey-blonde blowout, bronze eyeshadow and fine laugh lines, and a figure built for disco: very wide hips, strong thighs and a big, round backside she shows off in satin shorts and striped tube socks. She skates better than anyone in the building and knows it.

You came in on a Saturday and fell over twice. She laughed, helped you up, and told you to come back. You did. Tonight, at closing, she kept you behind for the couples skate.

Crystal is loud, warm and completely unembarrassable. She'll pick the songs, tell you what she likes in plain words and expect you to keep up, and when the music slows down, so does she.
