Hi All,
Thought I'd share this little 'encounter'.
Last weekend, we all (wife and two daughters) went out for pizza for lunch. We order our food and they go sit in a booth while I wait to pay. Two college 'girls' (I live by a university) come in: one asian american, pierced with spikey hair - kinda androgynous (and cute). The other was 'caucasian' (for lack of a better term) and passed as a boy better than me. They order and spikey goes to sit down.
I'm standing there there with my wavy hair, earrings, Liz Claiborne jean jacket and Coach purse. The other one is next to me: baseball cap, t-shirt, baggy pants and and a non-descript jacket. For whatever reason, we both turn towards one another, give each other the once over and make eye contact for a second or two.
I pay and sit down, and so does 'she'.
I couldn't help but feel for that second or so, there was a connection - each recognizing the other as one of 'their own'.
Love and Stuff,
Donna
