Do you have a dream self? I do. My dream self rides a Vespa - an awesome, vintage green one. I tootle around town on it, hair tied back with a red scarf with white polka dots. I think I look a bit Audrey in Roman Holiday.
Do you know that there's a store in town that's obviously been perfectly designed for my dream self? It's called Greg & Audrey's Garage {named after Roman Holiday - cuteness!}. It's so, so very pretty, and they stock scooters. Oh my yes they do. And cute clothes and accessories. It's a damned fine idea for a store - and just one of the many, many reasons why I love this town.
Apparently they also have movie nights where they screen Roman Holiday - hello - fabulous!
I don't understand why more people don't ride scooters. They're pretty much the ideal commuting vehicle: cheap, cute and easy to park. And they make the world a happier place. I remember driving into the centre of Rome, in our hired Fiat, when all of a sudden we were converged upon by dozens of scooters. Oh, it was an awesome sight to behold and was just so roman!
Scooter riders have to be stylish. They hang out in cafés. They're social and they're fabulous.
I think I need to make my dream self a reality - don't you?
I bought hubby a pale blue retro scooter a few birthdays ago to zip around in. He LOVES it!
ReplyDeleteMy dream self drives a red Mini Cooper convertible with white racing stripes on the bonnet. There are no dusty country roads where my dream self lives... Dream self would definitely be happy with a scooter too, obviously to dash between the Italian villages she calls home. gxo
