 Flouncing in your regalia Passing shops along the way Your behavior states you own them without a single word to say Shlepping up the byway Rodeo Drive beneath your feet Bounding with elan with not a single bite to eat Attitude exuding Oozing condescension The peasants scramble for the crumbs you lost in idle concentration The chaufer's never far In fact,he's right there at your heels Voila! At your command on highfalutin wheels Bouncing up the boulevard Card within your grasp Spewing loot like venom like a self-indulgent asp Do you ever stop to wonder why the scales have tipped your way? Your behavior states you own them without a single word to say  [This message has been edited by Street Heart (11-06-2002 07:39 PM).] |

I really like this. Well crafted with a great flow and I can't help but picture a skinny, bouffant haired woman with a mass of face paint and high heels, maybe even carrying a terrier..lol Julie |

Well done, Geoff. I remember Rodeo Drive. What I saw the last time (1989) was this reality: Two 'uplifted' faces over tight turquoise tank tops and bright white tennis shorts, sporting nifty new Nikes underneath gaudy gold ankle bracelets. And they looked as lost as their souls. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (11-10-2002 10:04 PM).] |

I've never been on Rodeo Drive but your words have given me a clear picture of some of it. Thanks Joyce |

Hey,Kacy,it sounds like you've been as many places as I!Never made it to California,though.I've heard and have seen enough to give me a pretty good understanding of the scene. Thank you,Joyce.How was your trip? |
