Oh sweetheart! Don't cry!
So, today I went out to Trader Joe's to pick up a few things for the house (milk, eggs, and the like) and had three (yup, 3) people stop me in the store because of my damn t-shirt, which I've owned for a couple of years now.
*[Side Note: No, I do not own this shirt because Valo owns it. In fact, it was given to me as a gift a few years back, before the photoshoot Ville did where he wore the shirt. Needless to say, when the pics from that shoot did surface, I had an nice long laugh over the coincidence! However, my brother (and a few of my friends *glares), just call it reason #36 on the list of "Why J Must Be The Female Incarnation Of Ville Valo." *rolls eyes* *huffs* *lights herself another fag* :-P ]
And here's what these lovely three people had to say, and what transpired as a result:
Guy #1: Hey, is that Siouxsie, as in "Siouxsie and the Banshees?"
Me: Uh, yes it is!
Cashier: Oh my god, really? I was just thinking that! Nice shirt!
Me: *smiles politely* Thank you.
Guy #2: Wow, I was wondering the same thing! I saw you walk past me in the fruit aisle, and had to do a double-take!
Me: *tries to smile wider to cover up the creeped-out feeling* Well, then the mystery is solved!
Guy #1: Well, it's nice to know that there are at least some young people out there today with good taste in music.
Me: *shrugs and giggles uncomfortably* I try! *prays for the damn cashier to finish ringing her up*
Little Girl: *comes running over to me, who couldn't have been a day over 6 years old, wearing a HIM shirt!* Excuse me! Excuse me! *tugs on my pants leg*
Me: Hello sweetheart! *crouches down to her level* And what can I do for you today? I really like your shirt, by the way.
Little Girl: *giggles and blushes* Thank you! Can I ask you a question?
Me: Sure darling.
Little Girl: Do you know Ville Valo?
Me: *giggles* Uh...no sweetheart, I can't say that I do. Why do you ask?
Little Girl: Because you're wearing his shirt!
Me: *laughs and explains to Little Girl that there are probably lots of people who own the same shirt*
Guy #1: Ville Valo? As in that Finnish chick who hangs out with Bam Margera?
Little Girl: *screws up her face, stomps her foot, and screams* HE'S NOT A LADY YOU STUPID PERSON, HE'S A MAN, AND THE BESTEST SINGER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD AND I LOVE HIM!!! *runs back to her mother crying*
*And the moral of the story is: J shouldn't wear her Siouxsie t-shirt while shopping at Trader Joe's EVER AGAIN!!!
Perhaps I should go out and buy this shirt, head to Trader Joe's, and see what kind of response I get. :-D
I bet the Little Girl would love it! ;-)
