I came across this today and thought it was interesting. I have always liked this photo but never looked into the setting and story behind it.



The article is an interesting read about what it was like in Italy after WW2.

Quote:

“It’s not a symbol of harassment. It’s a symbol of a woman having an absolutely wonderful time! I clutched my shawl to me because that sheaths the body. It was my protection, my shield. I was walking through a sea of men. I was enjoying every minute of it.”

Its too bad women are shamed from having this attitude anymore.

She was an attractive woman in her days. Interesting read. I wonder how much airfare/boatfare? cost in those days.

This does remind me of how femininity will add a point or two to any Female.

At my new job I work with a girl from Venezuela and she has been here for 5 years now. She is very plain looking, her face is quite modest but she is very lady like and keeps her body in good shape. She always dresses nice and wears nice lady like earrings. It makes look attractive even though she is not my type. It's amazing how this had been lost on many women today.

Maybe the polarities have reversed and, back then, the US was the poosy paradise. Any stray American girl over there was like what an FOB Russian girl is here now.

That place looks like a G-manifesto heaven, sans the smokes.

Haha, good observation. But I have to disagree.

One look at those two guys on the scooter (right of shot) and the old dude with Steve Urkel trousers and it's decided. The G would bounce in search of a more stylish scene.
