I hate to be a killjoy, but there are a lot of girls not in high heels or dressed very well.
Is there an internet meme about EE girls dressing exclusively in high heels? Most EE girls nowadays dress casually during the day, not very unlike their Western counterparts. This is true of second tier cities, or cities with lots of unemployed. And is true of younger chicks, late teens. In older girls and in power cities there is more emphasis on updressing. But most dress very well and in high heels when going out at night.

I still don't know exactly what an "internet meme" really is, but yeah, I got the impression that the whole EE was this unbelievable feminine wonderland where every girl wore high heels and dresses and only exhibited behavior that was 100% feminine.
I mean, that is the whole draw of going right? It's certainly not the weather, beaches, ease of communication or those boiled pseudo-raviolis they eat.
And in all fairness, Latvia really did have girls in non-stop high heels, even on cobblestones.
The unfortunate thing about Latvia, was before I went and wrote about it, no one on the internet ever said that girls try to scam you and you will end up in three street fights in the first five days you are there.
Oh well.

Well, Slavic girls generally posses naturally good genes, and good graces, but you can't expect the worst of American popular culture to be exported around the world and not have any influence on the local populace.
But comparing to the rest of the world, it's still a wonderland. It's the best happy medium between the first world's Rome that is burning, and the daily desperation that the third world is. It's no wonder they were called the second world
Yes, some of the more well-known places may have gotten stale by now, but some, including Belgrade, are just ripe for the plucking. What's more, there are smaller EE markets that are still so exotic in all their 'white conservatism', but abundant in their supplies of fresh talent, that their potential is still to be explored. We will only talk about those places years from now. In sum, there's a lot of EE poosy to still pillage and plunder for those willing to loot. ARRR!
