While the girls on Girls never wear protection during their sexual encounters, at least one of them is overly-protective when it comes to the elements. Breaking one of New York's only weather etiquette rules, Allison Williams stepped out this week with A HUGE FREAKING MONSTER UMBRELLA.
The starlet was protecting her shiny locks as she made her way to the Jimmy Fallon show, and the Daily Mail has four other photos of the faux pas... and the umbrella couldn't fit into the frame of any of them.
New Yorkers, Ms. Williams wasn't the only one to break this rule of etiquette this week, so let this be a reminder that should you even contemplate procuring a golf umbrella, we will not hesitate to publicly shame you. Our sidewalks just aren't big enough.
