Treasure in the New Orleans Streets...

       As I was walking the New Orleans streets, I stumbled upon a very Regal Persona sitting on a bench. Shoulders back, head up as if a camera crew was working on a perfect shot. I walked straight while never taking my eyes off of what I envision as the Epitome of  "Sharpen The Edges". I bee-lined towards her without hesitation and asked, "May I please take your Picture for my Blog?"  The Brightest smile I'd seen since stepping off the plane looked at me like" this is a relaxed day"  before replying, "where do you want me to stand?"
       Her statute was long, lean, and curvy. Her clothes seemed as if they were designed,  measured, sewn on her just hours before going to work. I was rushing to capture the essence of  her fashion because her poise announced that her job was important and her time was valuable. Something about her captivated me.  
       After taking her pictures, I thanked her and tried not to keep her any longer; but to my surprise she initiated small talk and I couldn't help but to "fist pump" in my head.  I immediately bombarded her with questions on her  fashion and inspirations. The conversation  was short, informative, and left me wanting to know more. So I did  what any harmless stalker would do... I GOOGLED her.
