On the Flipside, Gwendolyn is 17 Scrabble Points

The train doors opened at 59th street and three women got on through the door I was standing near. One woman looked me over a couple of times and I thought that perhaps she noticed me staring at her flip flops, so I glanced away. She looked away, too. They really were cool flip flops and I snuck a peek again. Looking up, I noticed her looking at me. We both looked away. Then I felt someone tap my arm.
"Excuse me," The Starer Lady said.
I took my earphones out.
"Is your name Gwen?"
"Uh-uh."
"Oh, sorry then. You just...you look a lot like someone."
I'd like to think that this Gwen she had in mind is a movie star. Perhaps she meant Gwen Stefani or Gwen, um, Gwen... So in conclusion, people with the name Gwen are destined for unpopularity.

Because there's only one famous Gwen I can think of. And by "I can think of," I mean "shows up on Google."
