Have you seen the movie Bridesmaids? (It’s okay to admit you’ve seen it… it’s a funny one).

Subject: Bridesmaids
Not only have I seen Bridesmaids, but I saw it on opening night. There was a group of girls dressed up as bridesmaids and they had me take a picture of them with their tiny pocket camera. It felt minuscule in my stupidly large hands; I felt bad enough about seeing a movie alone, worse that it was ostensibly a movie for women, but this was just surreal. I should have felt shittier, but at that point I just kind of enjoyed the situation and hoped that someday I could tell this story after several drinks in a bar that served free popcorn, long after Bridesmaids had justly lost the perception that it was a movie only for women (and hardly a movie only about women) and in a manner that my shame in that story would be the shame of seeing a movie alone.
