It’s an article that may be worth the read, even though it’s sickeningly pretentious in parts (it almost made me hurl my grande non-fat no foam sugar-free hazelnut latte). I pasted a couple of the more tollerable paragraphs below.
Macleans.ca | Top Stories | Life | So very Vespa: “As the meeting broke up — ‘We’re aging scenesters, can’t stay out that late on a weeknight,’ someone said — Santonato pulled on her helmet, size XXS, and hung her purse on the bag hook beneath the seat of her new silver Vespa. ‘You have to be a bit of a thrill-seeker to do this,’ she said, revving her engine, which was considerably quieter than anyone else’s.
‘Girls look really hot on a new Vespa,’ noted Byers, ‘though I think Lisa should get rid of her side mirrors. They’re not cool.’ Then he climbed onto his vintage scooter and roared off into the night.”
