Hola boludos (bitchez),
Sorry I haven't posted in a while- I've composed a few notations over the past week which I will now post- happy reading and special thanks to my dear friend brad for nagging (motivating) me to keep posting :)
Something I've realized during my (almost) one month here in BA:
This is the nineties.
The longer I’ve lived here the more I believe it.
Imagine you’re walking down a street, let’s say calle Santa Fe, the 5th avenue, the St. Charles or even the Poplar avenue of BA. You look up. Dated (yet still wonderful) apartment buildings decorate the skyline.
You look to your right. Shops selling red velvet bellbottoms, high waisted pants, belts and graphic tees.
You look to your left. Clusters of high school girls wearing bright scrunchies on top of their heads.
And finally, you look down. Every female age 8-88 is wearing your favorite pair of 90s platforms. And they’re rocking it.
Flipping channels, Friends is on at least two channels at a time. It has become a little game of ours to point out “the little things” that allude to decades past, especially the 1990s. Honestly though, what makes this place so unique is the eclectic mix of old and new. Just don't be surprised when I come back to the states with a pair of plataformas for every season!
With throwbacks on my mind, I bought myself some stationary with full intent to send some snail mail to my friends/family/homies/boludos in the northern hemisphere. We'll see if they make it over there! Feel free to send me your address if you'd like a postcard from my next getaway. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. (We sure did!) Back to the weekly grind- will post about our extraño weekend at Iguazu very, very soon.
Besos y'all
