Taking S-Unit’s advice, I opted to be a dirty (unshowered) girl on the first day of the Chinese New Year. This happened to be the same day that I, again, met up with MyFace, NYF From NYC and Bobby’s Girl to participate in the Sundance Film Festival.
MyFace and her friends are, hands down, far more posh than I will ever be. Thus, seeing the ratted mat atop my head was most likely not pleasing to their posh eyes. “I didn’t wash my hair today because of the Chinese New Year. Should help prevent or reduce bad luck,” I told MyFace as we waited in the loo queue and, as luck would have it, it moved very quickly. Without even looking at my hair, she quickly replied, “Huh.”
Once inside the theater, and while MyFace, NYF From NYC and Bobby’s Girl were pointing out the celebrities among us, I was checking out all of the people who will most likely have bad luck this year. The dirty girl look was really not so common at this event. “Who is that guy? Who is that girl? Do you think they’re famous? They’re having people take their picture, should we be taking their picture,” MyFace asked. I really recognize no one. There are individuals with whom I have worked with for years and, yes, they look familiar, but, no, I don’t know their name. Thus, asking me these questions is fruitless.
The film started and it was quickly confirmed that there really were quite a few celebrities among us. For example, Danny Glover, Dennis Haysbert and Common. Did I recognize any of these individuals? No, not really. Like so many of my coworkers, they look familiar and I’m sure I know them from somewhere, but I really can’t provide a definitive response as to how/why. I will say I did recognize one thing right away: Common is hot. Wonder if he likes dirty girls.
