When it comes to a women’s looks, I’m sure that everyone has heard the expression of “stopping traffic” . There are plenty of stories about famously beautiful women who did just that, but I actually saw it happen. It was decades ago (and no, I won’t say how many) as a freshman in college. There was this absolutely drop-dead gorgeous woman living down the hall from me; she looked like a young Yvette Mimieux if you know who that was. I hadn’t met her yet, and was a bit intimidated to be honest. But walking back to the dorm that first week I saw her coming towards me… and a passing bicyclist turned his head so much to stare at her that he rode right into a tree… which in turn caused a passing motorist to screech to a halt… no one was hurt, she and I were hysterical laughing, and we instantly became friends. I’ve obviously never forgotten it or the million “favors” men wanted to extend just to interact with her for a moment. Since she was also one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, it pissed her off to always be judged by her looks rather than her brain, but she learned to use that to her advantage. The lesson I took from it was that being underestimated can be a very good thing; I love the saying “Underestimate me, that will be fun”. Anyway, when I somehow put this pose and this setting together, it brought it all back. I mean, seriously, if I’m running late for a party, it’s starting to snow, and I can’t get an Uber, what else am I going to do but go out and stop traffic to find a solution… how hard can it be in an outfit like this? (And no, of course I’m not serious… no comments about the dangers of accepting rides from strangers!!!! We’re in virtual reality!!)
