Huffington Postさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Huffington PostInstagram)「Taryn Delanie Smith, aka 2022’s Miss New York, said she was taking a shower one day when a ridiculous thought popped into her head.⁠ ⁠ “Why are ghosts always in a nightgown?” Smith recalled to HuffPost over the phone. “Why are they always in a top hat or the outfit they died in? And then I was like, ‘Do you get to choose your ghost outfit? Are you stuck in that outfit?’ And then I started thinking, ‘If you die in a chicken suit, are you stuck in a chicken suit?’ And I was just giggling to myself in the shower, like, why is my brain like this?”⁠ ⁠ Smith was so tickled by the idea that she decided to play around with it on TikTok after she got out of the shower.⁠ ⁠ The TikTok video was an instant hit. But Smith — who originally started her TikTok account as an escape from a former office job she “f-ing hated” — said she was surprised that so many people “were so interested in the receptionist character.”⁠ ⁠ “I didn’t think that was who they were going to latch on to,” Smith admitted. But she decided to roll with it and began thinking, “What would her day be like?”⁠ ⁠ And thus Smith’s no-nonsense, gum-smacking and keyboard-clacking receptionist soon got a name: Denise.⁠ ⁠ Denise is now equipped with a pink razor as a headset. She loves pocketbooks and big earrings almost as much as she likes rattling her big iced coffees, which she drinks as she complains about not having the time to read Shakespeare’s eight-page emails. She handles all the banal logistics that any office worker would ― but in heaven.⁠ ⁠ Smith’s satirical series began to take a more sincere turn toward the end of March, when she took a request from a follower. “I just saw somebody say, ‘I really wish I could see you greet my mom,’” she explained. “And I thought, ‘Well, yeah, I could do that.’”⁠ ⁠ Since then, Smith has published a few more videos requested by her followers. Each one, like the one at our link in bio, is capable of making a viewer cry in equal parts from their tenderness and hilarity.
