Happy Halloween, Kiddies! 
So, again, something fucked up happened on the train today.
I was on the downtown A, and at 59th street, this HUGE black woman gets on. Now, not only is she about 350lbs., but she's wearing a tight black tank top that exposes her 'midriff' and a green leopard-print MINISKIRT, no nylons. She was truly a sight to behold.
Of course, she was being obnoxious, speaking loudly and pushing people out of her way. She finally finds an acceptable spot, standing in front of me, holding the rail above.
Now, there's this gorgeous young girl (18 or so) sitting two seats to my right. She was modified, with OOg O-Rings in her ears, a septum piercing, and some visible tattoos. Her hair was multi-colored and done up in dreads. Not outlandish by any means, but clearly 'alternative'.
So this big black lady looks at her up and down and says at the top of her lungs (I shit you not):
"That's your Halloween Costume? It's great, I love it! You look so freaky!"
I must have turned 5 shades of red, but the girl calmly smiled and said, "No, but I have my Halloween costume in my bag if you'd like to see it."
They held a bit of a conversation after that, and the girl was very gracious considering the ignorance of the lady, but it was clear that everyone (except of course the lady) was just mortified.
I was sure, for a second there, that perhaps we had ADVANCED some as a society. GUESS NOT!
The funniest part about it all was that the big fat lady was the one who looked like a freak.
Anywho....as promised, I shall divulge my brilliant Halloween costume:
My BF and I are going as Roy and Montecore, the Tiger. Complete with head/neck/arm wound and sequins.
Have a safe/fun holiday everyone....Boo!
