This ultra chic modern girl in whose shoes(stilettos..duh) we(girls,urban, well cultured blah blah ones) are, is real cool... but even she at times(most or some)... gets into embarrassingly sticky situations right... most of them being on a superficial, PHYSICAL level...the sort of situations that are alien to the other sex.
THE HOOK: Okay feeling sleepy, tried stretching muscles huh... fllllaaappp!.... automatic unhooking... bingo!.... rush to the nearest loo madam.
THE KOHL: So even you like applying kohl, how marvelous... but half way through the day u forgot that you'd set up a charcoal factory in those kaleidoscope eyes...and you cry or dust gets into your eye or u rub your eyes while day dreaming... and ya kohl is all over you... and what is more is that nobody but the bitchiest babe you have ever come across acquaints you with the "darkness".
THE ZIPPER: i don't think this one's the case with all of you out there... because i know for a fact that some girls are really very meticulous... my case...carelessness... even guys forget to zip it up sometimes after peeing or ahem ahem but the degree of discomfiture ain't or i should say can't be the same... remember monica...friends... season 10... phoebie's break up...
THE STRAPS: especially with the ethnic wear... these fellas think they ought to be visible... got some kind of attention problem... even in the most non plunging neck lines they'd still make there way through... thankfully we have the transparent peers now...
THE HEEL: you walk through a crowded corridor, street, road, blah blah... either being yourself( if you own a minty cool attitude) or not(if you pretending to own the minty stuff)... and the heel, bloody heel! betrays you... ouch... it hurts... physically as well as socially.. big time.. don't worry gal get up back on your feet and take the baton...
THE HOLY SPILLS: spill coffee/coke/water on your lap and people think or you think that people are thinking that something's wrong with your bladder... spill water on your torso and the 'transparency issues' crop up.. and the worst spill of all... if anything even remotely similar to the colour of gore spills over...awkwardness kills you...
funny isn't it...but everyone is too conscious him/herself... no one cares... so take my advice...let it be... its just in the mind... looks matter till the time you get to know someone... after that its you the being... "the person and not the body" as they say...

^^ Dont apologize fella!! Even embarrassment is a very strong emotion.^^
ReplyDeleteBut Roma, seriously love this one..hehehe and about that advice in the end, I do make it a point to stare at people in situatations till fatal embarrassment, so naturally my self consciousness sprouts from revenant guilt. :-))
Love,
