Gemma Ward Needs a Ride!

Oh, New York. In some ways it is so elitist, and in others, it’s the great equalizer. Everyone has to get from point A to point B, and unless you want to be bogged down with a standing car and driver (a total paps magnet), you’re either taking a cab or heading underground.

Gemma Ward was out celebrating her 22nd birthday this week. She’s old enough to know her way around the city, so let’s observe her cab-hailing technique.

I give her a B on this stance. Looking like you’re not trying to get a cab while you’re hailing one is kind of counterproductive. The arm should be up, or at least at cabbie eye-level.

Foiled! Yes, this is the pout of someone who has been passed by. Notice the insecure retreat of the fingers and the facial expression that says, “you’ve got to be effing kidding me”. Doesn’t matter how hot you are, babe, if you don’t get aggressive that cab is going to the next girl.
