I have lived in New York my entire life, except for the four years that I was away at college in Rhode Island. In all that time, I have been in the City just about everyday of the last sixteen years with a small respite during my baby baking years and in all those years I have never, ever come face to face with The Naked Cowboy.
Today all that changed. Today, I came face to face with the guitar strumming Naked Cowboy. I went for a walk during lunch and decided to walk through Times Square so I could see all of the chairs that have been set up and I ran right into him, tightey whitey's and all.
I tried to be really discreet because I was thinking that I had to take a picture and send it to Drew. But Oh Man, this Cowboy LOOKS for cameras so he can pose in his tightey whitey's and his guitar. And he saw me coming and started to walk over so I put my phone down so fast and kept on walking.
As I walked away I kept saying to myself, "get over it Sadie, why do you wimp out at moments like this? Who cares if the freaking Naked Cowboy sees you taking a picture of him, that's what he wants." Hence, the parading around ALL day EVERY day in his underwear through one of the most traveled spots in the world.
The Naked Cowboy WANTS you to take pictures of him! But I just couldn't do it. I couldn't get any closer than this, just couldn't do it.
And then I got a little more daring and I snuck this shot in, but only because he wasn't looking...
