European Geeks and beauty products… is it all worthed?

Someting is wrong,

You live 10 years abroad, come back and find that Geeks are not even funny anymore… ??

C’mon now, young Italians have become a bunch of beautiful superficial model wannabes. Geeks are kinda outcast in places like Milan or Rome.

Everyone seems to be taking far too seriously their “look” or “the way they look” or even worse “what people might think”…

Don’t get me wrong, I like walking around in “Duomo Square” or in trendy bars downtown and being surrounded by stunners wearing expensive clothes’, perfect hair and make up… it does give me a sense of enormous well being  … but then you get to know some of these girls you realise how superficial and boring is everything else about ‘hem… they’re too busy looking good rather than making any sense as individuals.

 

It’s no biggy, but it gets worse… do you know how much most Italians spend in luxury goods and personal care?? According to the latest figures we’re still topping the charts in Europe, in spite of a marked economic downturn which is making us all feel poorer and poorer…

That’s what sucks! I know people that wouldn’t eat rather than giving up their weekly sessions at the beauty parlour.

Maybe it’s time to bring it down a notch, maybe it’s time to realise that when you read that in time of financial strains Italians increase their spending in beauty treatments and personal care…well, something is just not right 😉 I wonder whether the same is happening abroad? Well, let mew know…

Generally the number of new “Centri Estetici” (Beauty saloons) are on the increasing, whereas most of commercial activities in other areas are closing down (travel agencies, restaurant, bars, shops) .

 

Well, I’d love to find a way to get some advice…
