Why I'll Never Look At a Pretzel Stand the Same Again...

It all unfolded while I was waiting at Shake Shack (my favorite hamburger place) for the arrival of my Aunt JoAnne and her friend Chris.  I picked a seat by the window so I could, a. watch for them and b. people watch.

If you look at the picture you will see a yellow bag in the background.  This is where I was sitting...front row seat for what happened next. 

After about 5 minutes of sitting there a very tall and skinny girl walked up to the pretzel stand right outside my window.  She was all done up with her 4 inch heals, hair piece, extra dramatic eye makeup – nothing out of the ordinary – except there was one thing that threw me. There was something off about the trench coat she was wearing.  It was a normal trench coat don’t get me wrong - tan material, Burberry lining, but something was missing...ah yes...where are these lovely lady’s pants?  Just then I saw a photographer come up and start talking to her.  They obviously knew each other and were up to something.  They started to discuss what seemed like a plan with the pretzel stand guy...and I’m thinking...whatever your are doing...please just keep that trench coat on – PLEASE just keep that trench coat on. 

Well...about a minute later the photographer was getting in position and the model lifted her hands up to her collar...

"oh no! don’t do it..."

brought the pretzel to her lips..."crap"

and much to my dismay...

shimmied right out of  her trench coat to reveal that she is wearing practically NOTHING!!!

Gasp...

Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!  

I turned my head away and immediately felt embarrassed just for being close to something like that!  Really? What inspired you to do this? I sort of felt bad for her. 

A large crowd, obviously, started to gather and take pictures. I couldn't believe that this girl was standing on the corner being photographed - from all angles - almost nude!!  Is this some sort of joke?!? An America's Next Top Model challenge??

As if things weren't already awkward enough, I was sitting next to two guys. One turns to me and states,

            “Wow, that outfit, or lack there of, is not very becoming on her!” and continued to eat his hamburger. 

Thank you guy sitting next me.  Thank you for not gawking at her like the other guy sitting next to him who immediately whipped out his iPhone and starting snapping pictures while giggling.
