La Malice flows continuously into long stemmed champagne glasses.

Lines of Vivid are downloaded just as quickly.

The Vendetta Bar is the chosen venue for Sophia's wake.

A hip speakeasy hidden deep underground within an abandoned New York subway.

Drinks are dispensed from a vintage train carriage by busy bartenders dressed in conductor uniforms with shiny brass buttons.

The classic 1960's advertising posters that line ivory coloured tiled walls have been replaced.

Filled with blow-up, black and white photographs of Sophia.

Every red velvet booth is taken.

By mourners who exchange their sorrow for a joyous celebration of a dead girl's young life.

The exception is the corner couch where Velvet, Gamma, Teddy, Lucy Lucy and Kitty sit.

Nobody is speaking.

The mood heavy and deathly dark.

Miss Fly is missing.

The last time they had seen her was the night of Sophia's murder.

In the Stockings and Garter Club.

A horrific event .

None of them would ever forget.
