The Eyes Have It
By George Takei TOP 500 REVIEWER on August 4, 2013
When strolling the streets of LA or braving the subways of New York City, I’m often approached by fans. They are well-meaning and always polite, but unfortunately I’m often in a bit of a hurry and don’t have the luxury to chat or pose for photos. For a time, I wore oversized sunglassses, but people often mistook me for Yoko Ono or more lately Psy, which only led to more awkward requests to cross my arms and pretend I was riding a pony.
So Brad ordered me the GREEN EYES CAT FACE by Mountain Tee and suggested I wear it whenever out in public.
It worked like a charm, at least for a time. People became so transfixed by the admittedly alarming cat print that they were often too embarrassed to make eye contact with the wearer, whom they could tell was, as expected, some septuagenerian Asian person.
My favorite response after a particularly long stare was to quip, “Hey. Buddy. EYES. UP. HERE.” (It IS quite gratifying to say, ladies, I admit.) Another was to emit happy meows while stroking my chest adoringly. Nobody approaches someone so obviously one sushi roll short of a bento box.
In time, my antics began to annoy Brad. So to get back at me, he cut the pupils out of the shirt. On one particularly chilly evening, I simply couldn’t understand why so MANY people were staring at my tee. I saw them squinting and overheard things like, “Are those his…Oh, God!” Brad let his prank continue all night, including through the book signing we were already late for. The fans there got a bit more Takei than they bargained for.
Well played, Brad. Well played.
