Our Hero (originally uploaded by shawnmorrison)
Needless to say, wearing an outfit such as this (for episode 2 of MRTV) on the street in Brooklyn attracts attention. Surprisingly, none of it was negative. Most of the people who saw me just smiled or giggled and went on their way.
When we were shooting the facial-hair bit from episode 1 and Shawn and I were wearing all the hair, people were much more negative. One guy drove by and called us something like "gay jews!" from his car window (with two kids in the back seat, too). I didn't even understand the comment. I guess maybe since we were two guys hanging out on the street wearing large beards, he must have assumed we were Hasidic. And gay.
