I'm sure of it. Brazzaville is purportedly this continent's finest shopping destination outside of South Africa. I could use a more nuanced summer counterpart to my autumn wardrobe
I'm sure of it. Brazzaville is purportedly this continent's finest shopping destination outside of South Africa. I could use a more nuanced summer counterpart to my autumn wardrobe During our talk on Francafrique recently, I omitted to mention that I recently inherited a Peugeot 607 - standard issue for your government at one time, I think? - to supersede the slightly more entertaining Nissan pickup I previously drove
Does he delete anything seriously critical or does everybody there really lap up everything that much? The only comments I read are on the most ridiculous pictures because it entertains me to watch people try to come up with compliments for some of the ridiculous things he posts.
I've repeatedly tried to put critical comments on his blog, and not one has gone through. Even something reasoned and thoughtful--like saying the girl with the partially shaved head was not a look most would care for, and as for the thin eyebrows that is an unfortunate preference of many eastern European women--a vestige of earlier times for western European women that has no (thankfully) lost favor. In fact the over-tweezing these EE women do results in many of them eventually losing their eyebrows completely and having to pencil them in, which looks awful. I've seen many an older EE woman with the clownish over-makeup... To encourage this over-tweezing is criminal, in my mind. I feel badly for the poor teenage suburbanites in the U.S. who drink his kool aid... Scott has no idea what he is talking about sometimes.
Didn't know comments had to be approved before they are put in.

They used to have the old DS in the sixties...
I would have imagined Cairo--with its rather Francophile aristocracy during the Farouk years--would have sophisticated shopping options. But then I suspect the Egyptians may also see themselves as more Arabic.
Scott is still in marketing mode, IMHO. He only wants positive comments. He knows his stuff wouldn't stand up on its own without careful editing. He can have some good shots, but has frequent misses in my view...
+1, every critical comment I have posted has been stopped at the gate and deleted, even if it was only mildly so, but every single "That looks great, thanks Scott!" has made it through quickly. The odd thing is that they're not even consistent. On that pink suit image, my comment saying in kind terms that it was horrible didn't make it through yet 2 other comments saying the exact same thing did. My guess is that he tries to weed out all clearly critical comments but isn't particularly good at it. Either that, or he must get hundreds of people hating them
This is called selective reading...
