She's A Superfreak

Nothing in the world will make you quite as invisible as riding the subway while wearing black satin hiphuggers, a silver sequined tube top, an acre of glitter, purple yarn ponyfalls, and a fox tail. I honestly think I could have started ritually murdering my fellow passengers and people would still have gone to great lengths to studiously fail to notice my existence....

(What? It was Forbidden Planet Theme Night at the local goth club. And I didn't have a pocket to put the fox tail in when a friend gave it back to me.....)

Now, I'm stuck with the mental image of a random passenger being ritually sacrificed in his seat, even as he continues to read his newspaper and only occasionally nervously glance over the page when he thinks you're not looking.

I suddenly have this image of Robbie the Robot standing in the corner of the stations with a sign "Need recharge, please give generously."

Their loss for not staring. :)

My thought exactly!

I know the call for photos (of the ritual sacrifice, of course) is redundant, but the image is bright!

I had a similar experience at college, when my hall of residence boarded a bus on mass - ready for an "Animal House" themed toga party, in our department bar, several miles away. I was particularly amused by the jaw-drop from the Mohicaned punk....

They were looking from the corners of their eyes. That's what I do when I want to stare.

I'll happily make up for their lack of staring. <btg>

It was great to see you out! :-)

Wow. That's an interesting genre clash (Forbidden Planet / foxtail). Dunno. If I saw someone I didn't know on the T wearing that in combination, I'd probably smile...

I want photos of this.
