Funny Quote by Charlotte Stein
““I’m talking about you, you idiot. You have seen you, right?” [...] “Of course I have. I saw myself last Wednesday. My hair was doing this woo-woo thing,” I say, but only because I’m panicking. My palms have gone all sweaty and my mouth has dried to a crisp. It’s like my saliva has disappeared down into my hands. And all because he said I had nice lips. “Can you give me a demonstration of this woo-woo?” “Well, my fringe was kind of going out here like – Christ, what am I doing? Don’t ask me to do stupid things.” “Why?” “Because I might do them .””
