Dear A-Rod,
You may or may not have noticed us. But we spent a lovely bit of the afternoon window shopping together on Madison Ave this past December.
As former NYers, we respect the privacy of others, carrying about their daily business, and couldn't bring ourselves to stop you, create a minor scene, and make total asses of ourselves. *(See Historical Note Below)
And we didn't mean to stalk you. Honestly. That's such an ugly word. It was totally accidental... you were much more pulled together-dapper- handsome, and Tall, in person than we had expected, and we just followed blindly. In some strange estrogen haze.
It all started when we almost hit you with the door as we walked out of the J Crew bridal salon. You surprisingly didn't flinch as JenniB squealed "a-rod A-Rod A-ROD" in increasing volume and pitch as I tried to muzzle her with my hand and figure out what the hell she was saying.
We really were going to walk in the same direction as you (trying to find an open bar).
But not for 15 blocks, watching you text, fumbling for our cameraphones, trying to casually snap ourselves in a shot, hoping you'd turn around and offer to do an impromptu photo shoot and then take us to lunch.
So, since we didn't officially "meet" that day, we wanted to share our fond memories of our special afternoon together . And impromptu photo shoot.
Next time, please feel free to stroll into the Cafe Carlyle and join us for a drink .
We're quite entertaining.
Fondly,
The Chicks who were not-so-casually giggling behind you for a few blocks on Madison in the 70's, one December afternoon.
PS - if we run into you again, in San Diego or Singapore, or Hong Kong, be politely forewarned, your NYC bubble doesn't exist there, and we expect an impromptu photo shoot. Or else you're a dick.
*Historical Note- Favorite JenniB Celebrity-Type-Person Verbal Diarrhea Introduction - to DJ Jonathan Peters, circa 1998, early AM, Sunday- as he is obviously trying to get back to DJ booth - "Jonathan!! I'm your Biggest Fan! You have to come meet my friend, Rita too!"
Needless to say, I still have not met JP.
Perhaps it's best that our A-Rod encounter remained silent.
