I live in the American Gardens building on West 81st Street. My name is Patrick Bateman and I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, I'm on a balanced diet and a rigorous excersise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches, I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, as alcohol dries your face out and make you look older. Then mosturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there......
