MR. RICK SHAW

A few weeks back, I was in a slump and felt the need to give myself a day of beauty. So a facial at Georgette Klinger and highlights and cut were in order.

So facial at 3pm on 5th/54th and 5:30PM hair appt on 58th/9th. I thought I was leaving enough time. But the problem was catching a cab during rush hour.

I got out of the spa at 4:50....waited 10 min and still no cab on the block. Seems as if all the snotty people in the world were jumping ahead of me into cabs. All those sketchy unmarked cars and rickshaws were approaching but I refused. So I crutched from 5th to Lexington to Madison-ahhh! I was sweating soooo much, exhausted, and it was now 5:30!

Then this hot foreign guy in a rickshaw approached me. I'm not sure if it was my exhaustion, the hope of not crutching more, or his dreamy looks......I accepted.

Picture this....girl with cast and crutches in this rickshaw that was swerving in and out of taxi cabs. One arm wrapped around the crutches so they don't fall out and the other hand holding onto the rickshaw to make sure I don't fall out! First I was a little nervous especially because of his adventurous driving-aka one inch away from cabbies. But before I knew it I was snapping pics of me with my phone.

And a quick 10 minutes later Mr. Hot Rick Shaw man scooted me to the door front of the salon.

I bet my hair salon has never seen an entrance like that!!
