IT AND US:
Ladyvette in New York
By Ladyvette
Dear Italian “Divetti”, as you know we are
in the Big Apple. We have received all
your letters of concern, but we are writing to reassure you that we will return
soon. New York is definitely not what we
expected. Very cold in the winter, hot in
the summer, the coffee has no taste, pasta is overcooked, people talk funny and,
above all, there is the old issue of the bidet. How can a developed country like
the United States be still determined not
to use it?
We miss you so much, here ev erybody
runs off and no one really cares about
us, we seem invisible in our colorful 50’s
clothes.
We were told that New York is the place of
opportunity, where anything can happen.
We left singing "If I can make it there, I'll
make it anywhere", but the only thing we
have gained is centimeters in waistline,
