Today, the 17th day of April, Rome had an early birthday party. Romans came out in all fashions to celebrate. It was a chance to show the world who they really are:
fierce
proud
mysterious
scorned.
It was a chance to be seen
to be a part of something
a chance to be beautiful
and pretty.
A chance to get ahead in the espresso line
and a chance to wear fur in spring.
Happy Birthday Rome and thank you.
