Untitled 3

Strange looking woman. On Elizabeth St, outside St James Station... She was probably about 40ish. Probably wasn't a mid life crisis, but you know when you used to try and look different, and most people wont say anything..but they are thinking about how cool or uncool you look. You know that. It is nice though when someone says "dude i like what you've done with your shirt" but that's all they have to say. And you just know.

She had these brand new Dunk Hi's on, that were pink nylon style. Brand new. Then some American Apparel tight leggings, you know the style that all those hippies are wearing lately? The colour glistens a little bit, like a metallic shiny black. On top was nothing special, just a black tight t-shirt. Big titties which stuck out, but she was rather tall, so you wouldn't notice as much anyway. Her face looked a little like an older version of a the gothic forensic scientist on NCIS. I counted she had 7 white earrings in her right ear.

Reminded me of the woman that came in the shop last week. She was looking at the Puma First Round Sparkle shoe. This shoe looks like you've trodden in all the flavours ever made by Hubba Bubba, but you haven't cleaned the shoe after you stepped in all the bubble gum and its spread around the shoe to give it its colour. Or you know the bubble gum flavoured ice cream, that tastes delicious when you are 8, and you stick your tounge to mum to show her all the colours on your tounge, thats the shoe colour. Its ugly, probably the worst shoe in the shop, but woman (we'll call her Janis) picks it up and "WOW WEE" "THIS IS AWESOME" jargon comes from her mouth. Janis wants to try a woman's 8. So her "normal" family members walk in...and are like " GRANDMA!!!...WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???!"

Janis's face said it all. It had the "yeah i'm an old weirdo, so what?" look happening.

Type of woman, that gets a look from everyone. But that's ok. I mean everyone some what "normal" will ask themselves: "WTF?" Won't say a word, but the eyes will talk.

Someone might talk to her, cool shoes etc. Like the lady who was selling tickets at the bus stop. So the NCIS lady talks really loudly back to her about insignificant nothings.

The normal geezer will stop and stare. But the artist type will pretend not to notice, but really thats what NCIS wants. Artist is thinking: So uncool look, wish i could be that free, loser etc etc.

Thats 1-0 to NCIS, because you looked and thought all those things. But 2-0, game set match to NCIS because the artist who thinks he is cool wrote about her.
