I Wore a Bread Dress Around NYC
It's hard for a regular Joe to understand what it's really like to be a celebrity but I recently came close walking around NYC wearing a dress made entirely out of various types of bread.
Obviously, it's not normal to see someone sporting an outfit made out of food. So when I did this, I knew I would get noticed, although I didn't realize just how much of a ruckus I'd cause.
People formed crowds, stopped what they were doing, and gawked. They "snuck" pictures when they thought I wasn't looking. (PSA: It's really easy to tell when someone is trying to inconspicuously snap a photo.) They waved at me! They wanted selfies! They shouted things like, "What's with the bread dress?!"
It was kind of fun to be noticed like that. But it was also overwhelming. I now can see how that kind of attention can be grating over time - and also change your perception of yourself and reality.
It's probably for the best, then, that this dress got stale was a one-time only thing. At least I'll always have the memories.
