I senaste numret av Manhattan stötte jag på en hysteriskt rolig tillika klockren liten artikel.

Eurotrash Spotting in NY
It probably wouldn't surprise any New Yorker to hear that a third of all condos sold here in the last year went to foreign buyers. For those whose xenophobia is beginning to kick into high gear, we've uncovered the five most Euro-infested establishments in New York.

(jag nämner endast två)

ABERCROMBIE & FITCH
These days, moneyed Europeans have replaced their gaudy head-to-toe Gucci ensembles with ultra-preppy duds: pink polos, rugbys, wolly V-necks. Since the A&F brand is nearly impossible to find on the continent,taste-starved foreign devils regularly mob the flagship store to stock up.

Kommentar: Jag anser ju att svenskar generellt har rätt bra stilkoll. Men när jag ser kön, fylld av just blonda skandinaver, ringla utanför denna affär på 5th ave börjar jag seriöst ändra uppfattning. Jag förstår ju grejen med att komma hem till Sverige med A&F påse och stolt visa upp sin nya slitna look. Vad denna person inte har insett är att inga New Yorkers bär detta märke. För att klargöra: it's soo NOT New York!

CIPRIANI
There must be a Eurail train that runs express to Downtown Cipriani. The über-exclusive club in the Italian restaurant's lofted area is littered with assorted European Union rabble. Unless you've got a thick accent and a model-hot Estonian escort on your arm, don't bother trying get in, capiche?

Kommentar: HAHA!
