I have no idea why but ever since I read a biography on Audrey Hepburn, I am slightly obsessed with her. There is just something about her that makes her influential to me. Since I read the story about her life I weirdly retained a lot of information from it. Since I am so obsessed, I saw a magazine with her on the cover and I just had to have it.
I was with my friend Shakiya when we did a nice quick stop at Duane Reade so I could purchased the Vanity Fair. After I brought my magazine, I was flipping through it quickly as we were waiting for the worst red light ever to change, Shakiya goes, "so who is this chick?" I went on a whole rant about how she was a
depressed person and how much of a fashionista she was and how beautiful she was and how many languages she could speak. As i was saying all this there was an elderly woman next to me listening in, knodding, and smiling as if she was agreeing with everything I had to say because my facts were legit. She also seemed impressed that I knew this much information about her from someone so young. As I took a pause from my rant, this elderly woman chimes in to say "she was also a great actress."
This is one of the things I love the most about New York City, people often just kind of intervene in your conversation which sounds like it would be annoying but it is often quite a nice! :D I have never really understood the appeal of Audrey Hepburn but I have a lot of friends who absolutely adore her as a person and her work. Glad she is someone you find so interesting and enjoy sharing your interest with others!
ReplyDeleteMy cousin is obsessed with Audrey Hepburn too, though I don't care that much about her. It's cool that you know so much, you could teach someone else about her. I think this story is a little different from your other ones, because there isn't an ongoing relationship with the older woman like there usually is in your blog's posts. I like it though because interactions like that happen all the time where you don't really meet the person, but you have a temporary interaction that makes you smile when you think about it.
