Something Seen Mostly in Movies

Sometimes in movies, people will stop and stare at someone who's supposed to be beautiful. 

I kind of always assumed that was an exaggeration. Until I saw it happen in person. 

My cousin is literally registered as a model. He has shoulder-length curly hair. I've always thought my cousins are cool, but I never really thought beyond that. 

For Christmas, he came to visit with his son and fiance. We were walking down the street, past a target-shooting game/ride. It's pirate themed. So there was a lady dressed as a pirate on the street, drumming up business. Instead of holding a parrot on her arm, she had a plush octopus on her arm. As she was calling out to potential customers, she stopped and stared at my cousin as we walked by. Then I guess she snapped back to her senses because she said, "I got distracted by that mane. It's gorgeous." 

My aunt says that even when he was 15, people would stop and stare at him.

See, I told you I have cool cousins. They can get reactions out of people you usually only see in movies.
