with a bottle of Grüner Veltliner?
(You do know what Viennese do
to Grüner Veltliner wine, don't you?)

Were would we be without
the Pale Pink Splendor of Aida Cafés?

Sound of Music Dirndl?
Should I get a Dirndl, after all?
The pale green iridescent silk, the pale pink apron,
the apron strings bow, the possibilities ... **

Bognergasse
I want that dress!

 Yes, I take the whole outfit.
Handbag included. :-)

 Bognergasse
If handbags could kill ...

 Petersplatz
Hermes' shop windows
make you stop in your Teva's!

So many great musicians
out there playing!

I am having so much fun walking by
their pink gaudiness,
I am afraid, one of those days the
City of Vienna will want to collect Entertainment Taxes
for the sheer pleasure of all this eye candy!
