Before I leave to join my fellow eurotrash girl in Rome I had to sign off our Toronto sessions modestly, with a list.
Top Ten Reasons Why Airports are SOOO Eurotrash:
10. Airports are the ONLY place where one can give in to self-indulgence and double fist a tall starbucks latte AND a 1L bottle of evian without looking gluttonous.
9. DUTY FREE SHOPPING (for those last minute, impulse buys - usually some chanel perfume but depending on the city the stakes can get raised as high as a Gucci purse or a pair of Ferragamo shoes)
8. Calories don't count in airports. I mean, since airplane food is simply unpalatable one should fill up on ludicrously priced club sandwiches and a selection of maynard's candy while waiting at the gate.
7. Because on every international flight, there are international travelers. Specifically, international males, who, i might add, can afford a plane ticket and sometimes a nice LV carry-on too.
6. One can pass the time, without feeling guilty, calculating the probability of the cute, international, LV-sporting, ticket-affording guy sitting next to you on the plane.
5. Airports belong to the superfluous title group, and superfluous titles are SO eurotrash: YYZ, FCO, CDG, LAX, LHR, LAS, DXB...
4. With men and women walking around in cute uniforms, complete w. ascot and cap, airports seem to be one of the few places that retain that 1970s je ne sais quoi - because the general infrastructure hasn't really changed since. (Think Jacques Tati's Playtime next time you're in Pearson)
3. Airports are the portals connecting an entire global network of those who are jet set, and for those who are jet set the gate also dubs as an ad hoc fashion runway.
2. The departures and arrivals fork in the road - which one will you pick?
And the #1 reason why airports are so eurotrash:
1. When a Eurotrash girl, wearing faceshields, 2 gucci bags and bbm-ing, walks by the would-be snobs sitting in first class on the way to her humble economy seat, THEY aspire to be more like HER.
5 - I'm surprised such a jet-setter doesn't refer to YKZ (Buttonville) instead of YYZ, or even KVNY (Van Nuys) insead of LAX.
ReplyDelete2 - Departure, likely. What we be the point of going to an airport to pick the arrivals road? Unless you're picking up relatives, of course.
1 - Or, they can just as easily be reading Thorstein Veblen and pondering how someone can be so hurting. This impression is only invigorated when he or she sees you hobble past the 12th row.
BBMing while getting on a plane? I guess it takes diligence to keep the creditors at bay. 2 months of pleasure....a lifetime of minimum payments.
ReplyDeleteactually, wearing "face-sheilds", whatever those may be, and having 2 gucci purses on your arm instead of just one like a normal human being, simultaneously "bbming", classifies you not only as a huge tacky douchebag, but a classless, stuck up, arrogant bitch, who is flying on the banks credit loan. also, someone who actually has money and any sense of culture doesn't flaunt their wealth but laughs at those people like you (who pretend to be wealthy) get with reality.
ReplyDeleteit's so easy to criticize when one signs anonymous... why don't you sign your name? it's clear you know who we are, all too well..
ReplyDeleteGirls like you are what’s wrong with Toronto (but especially Woodbridge) Italian girls. It’s unreal how proud you all are of being complete dime-a-dozen fake-tanned SJP-wannabe douches. I bet you idolize St. Mike's boys too.
ReplyDeleteOh, and if you guys are such (self-touted) vain and materialistic girls, aren’t YOU, in fact, the “philistines”?? Maybe instead of those Gucci bags you should look into purchasing a dictionary – your $20k VISA bills will thank you. And the Italians in Amalfi think you look ridiculous too, by the way.
Useless posers.
hahahahaha this is hilarious...who are these dumbass girls? i came across this blog with a friend here in england and we reckon we have never witnessed such idiotic nonsense in our lives.
