I was a small, quiet tourist wearing white sneakers.
I also noticed that Italian women wore high heels everywhere. Even in places where athletic wear would have been preferred. I could also see they all had blisters on the heels of their feet. What women do for fashion. |

| I always tried to look extra cute when I went out in Poland (wearing heels on cobblestone roads isn't fun) but I had to keep up with those stylish Polish chicks. Megg knows ;) |

Well, all good purple hair must come to an end. Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. If they do, take your shoe and crack 'em in two. |
