Come si dice "hoochie?"
Would you go to church dressed like this? Maybe Playboy has a new "Brides" issue...

About Me
- Name: Tracie P.

Does leaving your former life to live in paradise really need much explanation? I had a dream to live in Italy. After four years of teaching and almost as many summers traveling, I knew that something had to be done. I needed to cook every day with that fresh, locally-grown produce. I needed to connect with people who made their own wine and bought their whole chickens with the feet still on. I wanted to live in a culture whose inherent passion for gastronomy was not born of pretense, but of the knowledge that what is so fundamental to life should also be ENJOYED. This, for me, is the definition of "la dolce vita Italiana." While it may not always be sweet, it is always Italian.

"Come si dice" hmmmmmmmm, I wonder what that means. Yeah I get the hoochie part except I might have said "hoochie Mama". Surely that is not an advertisement for bridal gowns.

Absolutely!
I have different colours of that very outfit so that I can rotate them according to the weather on Sundays.

I've seen this ad. Apparently she (Elisabetta Gregoraci) got her tv career on the up by bedding politicians who could help her along. So if the dress fits... :)
Imagine walking into the church wearing that dress!

It all depends on how you pronounce it. Why, does a' stroscia sound better? Or maybe zoccola.
LOL

Yeah, she is Briatore's bit. All that money going round, you'd think she'd be able to afford a better dress. hee hee

Hi Tracie! Wow, great blog. So great to have found another expat, from the Campania area!
I'm just reading through the entries and this one deserved a quick response. I honestly can't believe that a dress like that was designed to be married in? Well wait, let me rephrase... to get married in a church with that type of dress is just so wrong, imo!
I remember when I got married (here) in '97 the priest made a comment at the altar about one of my guests (a friend from America) who was wearing a backless dress. He didn't target her directly, but he got his point through enough that one of the old ladies threw one of their (smelly) sweaters over my friend. We've laughed about that moment ever since.
