i’m not making this up!

maura @ 9:54 pm

I sent this to overheardinnewyork.com last night, but who knows when or if it will ever be posted, so I felt that I had to share.

Earlier this week I was in Manhattan for a meeting. It’s fashion week, which means that swarms of fashionistas have taken over Bryant Park. I wonder if they are taking advantage of the Best Public Bathrooms Ever? Who can say.

ANYway, so I’m in line for a coffee in Bryant Park and a trio of fashionistas are behind me. They’ve got some goodie bags from whatever show they’ve just seen and are pawing through them. One pulls out a bottle of pink fruity vitamin drink or some such nonsense and says, “Yuck! Do you guys want this?”

After her friends reject the drink too, one responds, “Give it to the homeless. They need to hydrate.”

We have something like fashion week here, too. It’s mainly just us wearing pj’s. And it lasts much longer than a “week.”

We have that here on the weekends, too! Every dang Saturday it is a trial to get Gus out of his pj’s and into regular clothes. Even today, until we lured him into corduroys with promises of ice skating + hot chocolate.
