If there is anyone reading this out there, Happy
Valentine’s day to you!
The framed picture in the photo was
hanging on the wall of a simple cafe in Florence a few months ago. A business
card of Firenze Art Gallery was tucked under the frame but nothing of this sort
seems to be on their selection at present.
I don’t think it was ever like this
for me even a few decades ago or perhaps I was just too shy to notice. Perhaps it isn’t completely out of the question even now if I’m not too particular about the
age of the spectators... And I do travel to Italy quite a lot.
I did hear once the driver of a convertible
at a crossing in London shouting to me, “Too busy looking at your cute dress.” But
the driver was a lady. Nevertheless, I’ll always remember the compliment and what I was wearing: an apple green sleeveless dress with small apple prints in white and yellow here and there sewn by my mother according to a pattern from the latest Burda magazine. This was more than 30 years ago. A
few kind words from a stranger that made you happy once may have such a
long-lasting effect. We should practise that more.
For those of you who have a better
chance to attract this kind of visual admiration, please wear dresses more often. Nice and simple
will work best, I dare say. Thumbs up to all of us!
