The 1980s was a simpler time before the Internet and social media, but it was also a decade of decadence, materialism, and consumerism. This was the birth of MTV and video games. It was a time of kick ass music and carefree sex, before AIDS became an epidemic. It was also a time of the blatant sexual abuse of women. Consent was a joke, where no meant yes. For women, sex was complicated or a commodity. This story tells how one woman's sexuality was complicated and how she used sex to drown out her pain. Toni lived life on the edge. She succumbed to her every desire, hiding her pain by overindulging in drugs, sex, and rock and roll, using them to fill the void inside her. Known as a "Party Girl" to most, Toni's outlandish behavior hid a secret. She lived her life in the shadows, hiding who and what she was, always concealing her truth from the world. She even hid her secret from those closest to her, knowing they would not understand. Seeking self-destruction, Toni lived like there was no tomorrow. But rolling though life as if there were no consequences lead to strange bedfellows. Follow her through her sexscapades to her eventual enlightenment as a strong woman forced to hide her true self-until love touched her dark soul.
