How many times have you seen a mother changing her child in an inappropriate public location? I'm talking airplane seat cushion, park bench, movie theater...yes I've seen them all. Sadly I passed by the ultimate offense recently- changing via New York City sidewalk. Sure, the mother put down a blanket and even had the decency to also sit on the ground so the child didn't feel they were the only one contracting diseases at a rapid pace. I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that there was a Starbucks nearby with a perfectly usable public bathroom, free changing table included. Instead, she gave no less than 100 passerbys a reason to call her the worst mother of the year. Congrats!
For the many things seen throughout the day which make you wonder out loud how people can be so very strange, this blog is an outlet to voice your concerns for our generally insane society.

No, you cannot do party tricks in the park
72 and sunny describes this past Saturday in Manhattan perfectly. Sundresses and popsicles abound, not a soul wasted the day. While at the river working on our base tans, my roommate pointed out an interesting side show nearby. Looking up from my book, I found a Cirque du Soleil-esque performance being put on by two girls in yoga clothes. This is usually behavior saved for a parent and child playing airplane, not grown women wondering how flexible they can prove to be in public. Save it for pilates class, ladies; a broken neck would really put a damper on such a nice day.

No, you cannot creep me out
Mannequins creep me out. Mannequins making facial expressions creep me
out even more. While walking down 14th street I passed by a wig store
which displays its luxurious locks in the window atop multiple busts
oddly placed on Grecian columns. Whoever styled this window should find
a new career choice; never mind the wigs themselves, look at the two
figures on the left- absolutely terrifying. Who is going to walk into
this store with them as the greeting committee? Clearly only clientele
of a place called 'Wigs and Plus'. Clearly.
