you're personally responsible for ...
the entire strip ... to be washed away ...
cleansed ... as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol
flowed through the strip and were set on fire.
it didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight.
and then perry ellis came along with his broom,

and he ... he erected a beautiful city ...
