Metropolitan Diary: Pale blue chiffon |
I was on the 86th Street crosstown bus going westbound late in the afternoon one day years ago. A female passenger got on at Madison Avenue. |
"May I have a transfer please?" she asked the driver. Her voice was distinctive and it projected down the aisle, causing what seemed like every head to pop up. |
She was a vision of femininity in pale blue chiffon, with a large hat, a belted dress, gloves, heels and pocketbook. |
As she walked down the aisle people began to clap, then to stand and cheer, until she took a seat. |
It was Butterfly McQueen. |
