Synopsis
Tanya,
with
romance
novel
in
hand,
is
on
a
mission
to
relax
at
her
apartment
swimming
pool.
However,
a
group
of
rowdy
young
men
have
taken
over
her
usually
peaceful
territory.
Tanya’s
poor
self-esteem
prevents
her
from
enjoying
herself,
as
she
imagines
what
the
guys
must
be
thinking
about
her
body.
She
makes
sure
to
judge
them
equally
as
harshly.
When
a
father
with
his
toddlers
shows
up,
Tanya
momentarily
feels
more
confident,
until
a
hot
young
mom
in
a
bikini joins them. Double standards abound in this comedic female monologue.
