A (not so) Mexican standoff, Hollywood style

Last night, in front of Pink Taco, on my way home I witnessed a vintage Hollywood showdown --- drunk party girl vs. an SUV 

Classic.

The Pink Taco intersection stoplights probably benefit pedestrians more than drivers unless you're this girl. Young. Early 20's. Caucasian. In a standard Black cocktail dress, who decided automobile headlights make the best spotlights. Her stage thus being Sunset Blvd.

The light was red, traffic was stopped, and so the girl pranced out into the middle of Sunset Blvd., her eyes quickly caught in the headlights, dazzled, excited, she had the audience of many drivers, and so she began to dance in their headlights. She twirled. She skipped. She pranced around. She twirled some more. Shook her head left and right. "Look at me, look at me, spinning like a ballerina!!"        
  
One driver in particular, a young Caucasian female, 20-something, in a white BMW SUV with a few of her friends, decided they had had enough of the prancing ballerina in their headlights and tried to move the girl, much in the same way one might try to move a cow from the middle of the road.

"Hey! get out of the road!" the front seat passenger first tried shouting at
"the cow". Nothing. No response.

The driver then honked her horn. Nothing.   

The driver then flashed her headlights on and off. Again, nothing.

The passengers in the SUV rolled down their windows and started waving and yelling obscenities at "the cow", to which the "the cow" only responded by flipping them off with both middle fingers, and nonchalantly continued prancing around in traffic headlights. 

When the light turned green, the girl in the middle of Sunset Blvd. didn't budge. She just kept dancing in the street, in front of the headlights.

The driver of the BMW SUV gunned her engine a few times, but "the cow" would not budge.

When left with no other option the SUV gunned her engine and squealed the SUV around "the cow", which startled the cow to jump back onto the curb.      

"Fuck you, bitch! It's Cinco de Mayo!" the prancing girl screamed after the SUV.


Because nothing honors Mexico's Independence and Democracy from a French Invasion like - a 23 year old white girl getting tipsy on one too many Apple Martinis at Pink Taco, and then holding up traffic on Sunset Blvd at 1:00am to dance in the middle of the street.   

I give her credit for pronouncing it right.

Somewhere in Buck Grove, Iowa, this girl's parents are very proud... of their state law that allowed them to kick her out on her 18th birthday.
