يعات. реализация. Sales.Buy or do not buy?


Afternoon at McArthur Glen in Serravalle (Italy)  where there are no more between seasons. Summer sales, very summer, mingle at the arrivals winter, very winter. Metaphor of the only big spenders: Arabic and Russian


Saldarini


Burberry

The first  accumulate bags while the  husbands wait sitting on the sunny benches surrounded by many children. The second with long Soviet-style legs are followed by husbands  lugging the bags. I forgot Asians but except for the Chinese they have always bought what we have only dreamed of.


Prada

 And the Italian? They are mostly gone, as between seasons precisely. The few remaining roam without a reason, sometimes in small groups, accompanied by some older mothers who suffered cruel beatings of "freddocaldo freddocaldo". They are immediately recognizable. And suffer the sneer. They are greeted with a smiling "good morning ma'am, curious as well," and settled with an equally smiling and obsequious "thank you for coming to visit us." In stores of the most expensive brands also taste succumbed to the seduction of the Arab-Soviet wallet. All very orpelloso, an exhibitionist.
Too much trouble for my daysAnd then, let's face it, even tiring to the eye. 


Dolce & Gabbana
With my  friend we develop simple but effective economic theories that I prefer to omit. I will only say that go from the proletarian expropriation  to revenge  exercise on behalf of the unsuspecting benefactor, with a clear trend although not exercised the medio-light underworld. I must say that on the latter occasion we did it seriously. Thinking about the past and possible developments we said that for years we have continued to buy, to hoard goods, we have grown steadily until a few years ago. I do not know where we thought we could get.
 It 'obvious that we burned the way for the new generations. How could grow more than that? So now it is normal to stop running, stop for a while, waiting for the others who, after parties, they still have a few miles to go. And try not to make it a tragedy, to prevent the break turns into a brawl. Conclusion: The  happy decrease  seems to me the most dignified way to leave the scene.  
So what?
Buy or do not buy: buy it. But a couple of Kickers in the shop for children. 19,90. Last couple: what luck to have big feet! At home, while I remove them from the box, I glance at the green and red dots that serve to recognize right from left. It makes me smile. I remember myself as a child. It will also be so that it decreases?
