Thinle Ronge at Times Square Station

I saw Thinle when I was creeping around the Times Square station. She looked so cool in her Levi's shirt, shorts, and boots. I should also mention that she was carrying a really cool backpack that I didn't have the forethought/genius to photograph. That and her hair is everything that mine could have been had that lady at Great Clips not cut off 8 MORE INCHES than she said she would.

Tatiana on the Q Train

Lookit me! Postin' on my lunch break. Anyway...

I met Tatiana on the Q train heading home on Saturday. I noticed her jacket as soon as I stepped into the car and made a bee line for her. It reminds me of the Alexander Wang spring 2013 collection. Very ahead of the times, this one. I also want to point out that Tatiana is wearing the perfect example of the New Yorker's head-to-toe black uniform. I have seen all black worn in so many ways that crosses so many styles. Back home, all black equals goth or emo. Here, women have figured out how to wear it an look relevant and cool.

Sabrina at W 4th Street Station

In case you haven't noticed, the West 4th Street station is part of my daily commute. I met Sabrina on the platform on my way home. I noticed the lace on her dress from several feet down the platform. As usual, I caught her just as her train was coming into the station, so I didn't get to know her much beyond her impeccable taste in lacy dresses.

Tara at Carroll St Station

This is Tara. I saw her on the F Train heading toward Brooklyn and noticed her boots right away. She's very friendly and we quickly agreed that her boots were worn in just the right amount. She was with a guy with some very cool mutton chops (should have gotten his picture too, now that I think about it). They made the ride very enjoyable. We talked about the awesomeness of Brooklyn and they recommended some neighborhoods to visit. Nice people, these New Yorkers. It makes being away from home a lot easier.

And, just to drive the point home extra obnoxiously...don't forget to follow on Instagram @poppyopiate (I'm slowly convincing myself that I should change that...for continuity and all).
