Live Longer and I are heading to New York for the weekend and, as usual, both decided we should check bags so we can ‘bring fun stuff.’ For us, this is typically costumes, wigs and accessories. Recently added to our non-traditional hope chests are latex animal heads.
“‘I’m bringing horse mask in case we need to make some extra cash on time square. Naked cowboy franchise= $1000/day but I don’t want him to ride me,” Live Longer messaged me. “I’d let him ride me for $1000,” I replied and added, “Maybe I should get a shirt that reads “Free Rides.” We can cross out the ‘Free’ and write ‘$1000.'” “1000/ day. You may have to provide more than one ride… We r on Time Square not the upper east side with Chuck bass,” said Live Longer. She made a good point, so I replied, “Maybe I could stand on a corner wearing the horse head and ask passersby, “Wanna horse around?” We might need to hit the Upper East Side.” “More bang for your buck,” she quipped.
I shared this idea with The Responsible One and Drink Whisperer and their responses varied. “My friend just got a horse head. Apparently they had great reviews on Amazon so he felt he had to buy it,” said Drink Whisperer. “That could be dangerous,” advised The Responsible One, of course. “Don’t worry,” I replied. “I know an undercover cop when I see one, especially if they’re in uniform. If I think they’re undercover I’ll just say ‘neighhhhh!'”
