Now I can’t say it was the only time I was suckered into buying something due to a language barrier, but I can say that it was the most enjoyable one. Can I interest you in our caprese salad? One for your husband, too? (Another nod) Can I bring you some cheese and bread to start? (I nod again.) I’m sure you would like an appetizer, as well. Senorina, would you like to start with a glass of our special house wine? (I nod.) That’s when I realized our earlier conversation had sounded more like this: ![]() I swear I saw his knees buckle right before he set it down. Well, as it turned out, I was the one who needed to learn it because five minutes later the waiter came out with a serving tray the circumference of the moon. “Looks like I need to learn Italian,” he chuckled. Maybe some jewelry? A Gucci handbag? (Another nod.)Īnd so it continued for a minute or two, he with the questions and me nodding like a bobble-head. Please say your husband has indulged you with a trinket or two. I hope you find my city lovely, too? (I nod again.)Īnd the shopping. Never have I waited on someone so lovely. Senorina, are you enjoying your stay in Venice? (I nod.) Though I had no idea what he was saying to me, in my heart I knew it was something like this: That smile, that accent - I don’t care what people say, Italian is the most romantic language in the world. He came right to our table as soon as we were seated and started rolling out the charm. Tall, dark and handsome never looked so good. The atmosphere was beautiful, the menu scrumptious, the waiter? Ohhhhhh, man. Are you ready? Okay.Īnyway, during one of our trips to Venice, my husband and I discovered a wonderful little restaurant near Basilica di San Marco, which sounds way cooler than St. Here how it’ll work: I’ll take the two oldest ‘young’ actors - one ‘boy’ and one ‘girl’ - from a selection of the hottest teen TV shows on air and rank them by age until we discover the oldest cast member for each sex. So wouldn’t it be fun to see just how many young characters are actually played by old farts? Okay, then, let’s do it! Allow me to present: However, the amount of shows featuring ‘teen’ casts is. Yep, adults playing teenagers is not a recent development. Well, imagine our collective surprise when we found out he had started the show at age 25. That seemed kind of strange for a teenager. As the years went on, though, Luke started to look.well, different. Personally, I had a thing for Jason Priestley, who played Brandon on the show. A lot of girls, however, loved bad boy Dylan, played by Luke Perry. Years later, a similar incident happened when the first real ‘teen’ drama, ‘Beverly Hills 90210,’ came out in 1990. The entire section was filled with ‘check these puppies out’ necklines, ‘don’t bend over’ skirts, and - dang! - so many fishnet stockings I was tempted to string them together and go angling for tuna.ģ3 YEARS OLD! Holy moly! He was almost as old as my father! ![]() But a slutty Dorothy from ‘The Wizard of Oz?’ Since when did she wear a blue gingham mini-skirt and above-the-knee schoolgirl porn stockings? And those red sequined stilettos? Tell me, what’s next? Hermione Granger with a belly shirt and garter belt? Not that I didn’t expect to see some of the sexy standards. The women’s costumes are NOT the same as the girl’s. Last week we decided to go shopping for it. This year my daughter is volunteering at our family museum’s Halloween party, so she needs a costume. I have to say, it’s quite an experience and I can’t say it’s been pleasurable. That is, of course, until recently when my daughter became a teen. Why don’t they have masks like that anymore?Īlas, now I am a grown up and buying costumes for my own kids. ![]() The end of the night was the best part, though, because the thin rubberband that kept it strapped to my head never failed to get horribly tangled in my hair.Īhhh, the memories. Seeing out of the eye holes was such a challenge (I’m surprised more kids didn’t stumble into the street and get hit by cars), plus my face would start feeling sweaty and gross as soon as I put one on. I can still remember wearing them while trick-or-treating, particularly the masks. Makes you want to rock n’ roll all night, huh? ![]() I found this picture on Ebay to give you an idea.
