She turned back and said "Oh thats different. I'm studying dressmaking because I make fantasy Costumes"

Not only did this display my own awful misconceptions (I felt awful for stereotyping) but it was just one of those moments when your mouth drops open.

That's just what I needed to read. I've had to put up with a sour faced misery for the last couple of days and it really dragged me down.

Things like that are reasons why I love this city at times.

Dude... we like... need to get together sometime. I'm going insane with nothing to do at times!
