Scarves

September 27th, 2009 by Sipora | 3 Comments | Filed in kvetching

Do you know what really pisses me off? I shall tell you. The “scarf trend”. I was shopping on the upper east side yesterday and every woman and her mother was wearing a freakin scarf. It’s September, not December. I understand it is a fashion trend, but I’m so over it. I’ve been seeing women wearing sweats and they throw on a scarf and “pouf” they now are wearing a put together outfit. It’s such a cheap trend! Everywhere I go- women in scarves. I’ll accept winter scarves and shawls, but none of this- throw a scarf on my ugly outfit and think I’m put together. …..I’m just sayin….

Happy New Year!

I love this time of year. The weather gets so invigorating. September-October has always felt more like the “New Year” than December (Yes, I realize it is the Jewish New Year, but this is the first time I am really thinking about it). The fresh, crisp, cool air awakens me. New York is good in the Fall, especially at night. September is the new school year and that will always be ingrained in me. New backpack, new clothing, what’s not to love?! Halloween is basically my “New Years Party”.  I’ve always enjoyed Halloween. I hope when I’m 40 I’ll be married to a hot man and will be living in a big lovely house or fabulous duplex apartment and I will throw a grand Halloween party…every year! Hey…I can dream. I mean, does anyone actually enjoy running around in 20 degree weather in the dead of winter…at midnight!? Not I. There’s nothing new about January 1st. It’s nice…peaceful, and quiet. Good for snuggling and hot cocoa. But September is new.

Cat Head

I’m a big walker. Since I live in NYC and don’t own a car, I walk. I love to walk. Walking rocks. So I was walking one nice day down Broadway to Union Square. The city is filled with tons of colorful (putting it nicely) characters. Notice the picture below! I snapped this asshole with a cat on his head. Yes…a cat on his head. I should add that while I was walking I was also mindlessly listening to my ipod. Walking + Ipod= great times. So I snapped the picture and what happened? The cat head asshole starts screaming and pointing at me. My body froze from terror, but I looked away and continued walking. This trashy lady (cat head man’s partner) with smokers voice ran up to me and said “that picture is a one dollar donation!” I looked at her in my terror, put my hands in my pockets and said- “I don’t have a dollar! I have five…do you have change?” Of course she says nope and there I am, standing with this scary lady and my five dollar bill. She had two single bills. I took her two bucks, gave her my five and quickly walked the fuck away. This fabulous picture cost me three bucks! That Bitch! I’m such a chicken :(   need some balls, seriously. Should of just continued walking. Street bullys! I hope that cat sits on her face while she’s sleeping.
