Nuthin' Cuter
Than seeing 80 year-old red-headed twins all dressed up in matching old lady clothes, complete with the same exact hair styles, strolling through the Financial District in SF holding hands.
They made my day today. I used to see them in a specific coffee shop weekday mornings, over a year ago. Totally forgot about them until today, when I saw them clutching each other's hands as they walked towards the escalators. You just know their names are Georgina and Josephine or something cute like that.
I wonder what they talk about. I wonder if they were both married and their husbands died, or if they never got married. I wonder if when they were little girls they wanted to marry twin red-headed boys and live next door to each other. I wonder if they have a nice group of old lady twin friends that they get together with once a week.
Nuthin' cuter, indeed.

i've seen those twins too. they're panhandlers. did i just ruin your daydream?
When I read your comment, my jaw really did drop. It really did. I'm shocked. Shocked! I used to see them in Peet's all the time. They must be high class panhandlers?
I don't think they're panhandlers, they live in Nob Hill.
Their names are Marian and Vivian Brown. I don't really know much else about them.
Is this the twins that you saw?

They're a San Francisco institution, these broads. I've seen them a bunch of times... but not in a good, long while. I was starting to think that they (one or both) had passed and I'd be stoked to hear that they hadn't.
Their hair is red now? I love those ladies! They used to be blonde bombshells.
