Bodies Bodies Bodies

A Gen Z Hurricane party, booze, edibles, coke, toxic friendships, and Tinder dates. What could go right? Being a homegrown west coast kid I genuinely feel left out on ‘hurricane parties.’ Earthquake parties just don’t have the same ring to them. Either way, I was surprised to see Pete Davidson …
