Vir Italicus
If one spends five minutes around me, one will probably be accosted with my rant against the Italian man. Passed along to me by Zadok, this unposed photo by Ruth Orkin (called "An American Girl in Italy") shows that the staring and leering has apparently been around since at least 1951.
Bleeeeh, Italian men!

Of course, that's how I feel a lot of the time here in Walla Walla. Not from the college guys, but from the townies. Boys these days are so rude!
