All the beads, sequin, and glitter on the women’s shirts and all the two-hundred dollar, bargain jeans together cannot hide the filth in the two w/m bathrooms at the Sunset Trocadero on the Sunset Strip. The clientele being wasted is no excuse for the paper towels strewn across the floor instead of the wastebin. The historic photos of the Sunset Strip did not distract me from the sink, clogged with hair and more paper towels, nor did they eclipse the pubic hairs attacking a lady’s peripheral vision. Yes, the highlight of these unisex public health risks is that, if toilet squatting to avoid the latest STDs running rampant through the crowd of aspiring actors, aspiring agents, and aspiring studio execs, a urinal sits above puddles to your near right.
