It's Richard Kern's third visit to Toronto and he's starting to feel familiar with the terrain. His newfound comfort is helping him open up to his beautiful models, and they respond in ways both gorgeous and grimy.
The gorgeousness is obvious: they go topless, take showers, sprawl out on big beds and look effortlessly sexy. The griminess comes out when Kern is trading stories with the third model: she says that her mother celebrated her fiftieth birthday by renting out a huge banquet hall and inviting 200 people—everyone she's ever been friends with. The model and her brother slipped a bunch of acid in her wine. Grimy.
Richard Kern responds, "I mean I used to do that shit, too. I used to put crack in joints and pass it around." Grimier.
