Fashion Statements

Today's highlight of Italy is about fashion. Somehow Italy has led us to believe that they are the epitome of fashion. However, I beg to differ. Case in point:

#1--Check out these lady's sunglasses. Not only are they bigger than my HEAD, but she never took them off during her entire meal.

#2--If you look closely behind big glasses lady, you will notice a pair of rhinestone-studded jeans. Now notice that those are being worn by a MAN!!! Any lady's fashion goes for men as well in Italy, including sparkles, capri pants, and very tight shirts.

#3--Sadly, my last point does not have a picture, but I so wish you could see that the mullet is alive and well in Italy. I bet we saw 20 or 30 people with mullets during our vacation. If that is any telling of where fashion is going, please get me off this train!!!

Ciao!

Italian Ramblings

Well, we just got back from 11 days in Italy. It was really the trip of a lifetime. We won't bore you with the 200 important and beautiful pictures we took. Instead, we'll try to give you some of the more humorous highlights of the trip.



Today's Highlight: Italian Television
To put it bluntly, TV stinks in Italy. Even the shows in Italian look like bad home movies. But the kicker is that they have dubbed old American tv shows and broadcast them. I'm not talking old like Friends, I'm talking Bonanza, Murder She Wrote, Different Strokes, and our personal favorite: WWF circa 1985. Yes that's right. One morning we turned the tv on and there was Hulk Hogan, Rick Flair, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, and Macho Man Randy Savage--all dubbed in Italian. So if you're missing your fix of Hulkamania, I have just the place for you.

More to come. . .
