5. Magazines are good substitutes for umbrellasSudden drizzles. Who hasn't been caught in one, without an umbrella? If you're a guy, you can suck it up and run to the nearest awning, no fuss. Women, on the other hand, won't do that, if they had a choice. Well, they have nothing to fear if they have the latest issue of Elle in their Stam. They simply shield their head with it as they (fashionably) run over puddles in their high heels to catch a cab in a quintessential New York moment. Newspapers won't give you the same effect, unfortunately. The Post will leave ink stains on your hands, and murky fingers were never in style.
