stereo-typical fashion moment

by Guy Brighton

New York based Barbara Reyes was tired of working for “the man” as she puts it and set up Stereotype - a anti-magazine with a little fashion, art and music. In between editorial ills Reyes tells PSFK of her funniest fashion moment when her and a friend went to Walgreen’s to indulge in some chocolate intake:

“My friend was waiting in-line when this small effeminate Asian man yelled at her because he said that she ‘cut the line’ apologetically, she moved behind him even though I watched the whole thing. She didn’t cut in-line. So I said something to him. This was our exchange of words:

Me: My friend didn’t cut in line and besides you don’t have to be so rude.

Him: Well, you are ugly.

Me: [Laughing] you shouldn’t be so fast to speak. Why don’t look into a mirror.

Him: Are you kidding? [he grandly shows off his lame gray suit, pointy shoes and fake Paul Smith striped bag all with a wrist motion] this [pause] is faaabbbbbuuulllllllous.

Me: Congratulations.

Even though we made everyone in Walgreens laugh, me and my friend did no get our Snicker Eggs, that fashionable man just got in the way.”
