CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS: HALF NAKED FASHION
I still can’t really adjust to the fact that summer basically means women wear sheer, effectively transparent clothing over designer underwear and high heels. I feel like I’m seeing something I’m not supposed to. (How puritanical.)
It’s really, well, like not fair to have this ‘disability’ where your whole brain just shuts down when you see a troop (pack?) of women walk by dressed like that – and it’s not special. it’s just normal dress for them.
V says “Don’t be stupid. We are not shy American girls.” (She thinks I’m pretty stupid about a lot of things it turns out. lol)
V has been hitting the gym, with a trainer, three days a week, two hours a day, and she looks mindblowingly good. She punched me yesterday, (V is definitely a Ukrainian) and I was kind of surprised that it hurt. 🙂 So she stole my cookies and told me that when she was ‘fatter’ that it was OK, but I cannot be fat again if she can’t. lol
You know, Celts tend to have bigger chest cavities (me). Germans tend to be bigger “sturdier” all around, and Slavs are much more lithe. These people here are so beautiful. Poles have been exporting genes to all of eastern europe. And now that I see it (that taller thinner german thing) I see it everywhere. The Scandinavians really got the best genes, and if you look at the (few) real dutch they really take the genetic cake. Tall, smart, strong, and healthy. I feel like a little breton runt of the litter next to them. 🙂
