Cig and Snip Break

Tonight I noticed something odd as I walked by two young, uniformed ushers outside of the Shubert Theater in Times Square. One was seated on a ledge and the other was standing behind rather than facing her friend. They were taking a cigarette break.

It seemed a strange arrangement for a conversation.

As I passed, the flash of neon paper scissor handles caught my attention. The standing usher was trimming her friend's hair.
