IT IS SAID THAT CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN . . .

THEN SHOES MUST MAKE THE WOMAN

One of my favorite Facebook posts during my trip to Milan 

was this photo of a window display in a shoe shop 

in Milan's China Town neighborhood where we stayed. 

While Milan is known as a major fashion center 

throughout Europe and the world, 

I have a feeling these shoes are not the high-end fashion 

for which Milan is famous. 

But what fun I had asking my audience which pair seemed most like me. 

More shoe choices, though not nearly as much fun 

as the stacked and/or spiked heels.

But I know all women need several pairs 

of functional shoes in addition to the funky fashionable ones.

And as long as your at it, why not a colorful wig to match?

THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE

Milano Centrale Railway Station

Piazza Duca d'Aosta

The central train station in Milan is a hodge-podge of architectural styles 
including Liberty and Art Dec, but certainly not limited to those.

It is adorned with numerous sculptures.

Its facade is 660 feet wide and its vault is 236 feet high, a record when it was built.
It has 24 platforms. Each day about 330,000 passengers use the station,
totaling about 120 million per year.

With the train station in Milan being in the news recently, 

I was reminded of this picture I took in May of 2015.
