the devil wears

Two Indian women walk into Herndon in full traditional garments while I am assisting patrons at self check out. They approach me for information.

"Do you know this movie.... Devil Wear Prada? (sic)"

I replied with a yes, and showed them the catalog. The DVD was not available at Herndon, but I told them how and where they could get it.

At this point I asked them if they needed further help. One lady looked at me sheepishly and queried "what is Prada?".

I thought this was very funny, but I kept my mirth inside. I told them what Prada is, and they were quite grateful.

Oh, how the cultures clash. I think it hilarious that these women would know they want to watch that movie, but not know what Prada is.

I love your picture! Who can even still use those disks? Also, it is funny that they want to see the movie but don't really know what it's about. I guess they just knew that it was a new movie, or maybe someone else recommended it to them.
