Americans are really committed....


to Halloween!
Scene: 2 girls walk into a bar. One is wearing wings and some bandages, the other is in a full on chef's costume. They sit and look around.

Chef: "I told you the Italians weren't committed!"

Angel: "What do you mean?"

Chef: "I mean, you can't put on a witches hat or a little face paint and call yourself in costume! This is what is wrong with this country--no commitment!!"

Angel (resettles wings, tapes bandage): "Ummm....you are totally right. We are clearly the normal ones here."

:)

Anyway--fortunately for us, some people (americans) in even more committed costumes involving wings, masks, and in one disturbing case, a diaper, showed up and then we did look more normal!

But it was fun nonetheless to see, and in a small way, I felt I was doing my part for my country. Someone has to dress up, and if not us, then who? (patriotic music) If not now, then when? (drum crescendo) If not random and disturbing, then how can you face yourself in the mirror? (10 gun salute) Bravo America! Way to show Italy what we are made of! :)


**Blurring is designed to make me look more angelic!

I'm just guessing from previous comments on another photo, but the blurring and positioning of the wings is obscuring what half your readership is here to see. :)

Also just checking back in on the leather jacket...have also become covetous of leather boots in reading your blog... any word on that? I'm generally a clothing size 36 (I think???) in Euro sizing. Shoes are 38 and a half. Boots are tricky though, without being able to try them on and all...I trust you though... :) (I'm only partially joking)
