UnMcVoidable

Aaaah, Portugal. Sleepy fishing villages and sweet port. The cries of gulls swooping to follow the quivering wakes of minnow schools. Where all the men are tan and handsome and all the children above average. Lazy afternoons spent browsing hipster shops filled with the latest local bounty. And for 7 euros one can purchase a fast food themed necklace created from the detritus of Barbie’s dreamhouse: tiny Pepsi bottles, french fry containers, burgers and hotdogs, artfully collected in one pendant. The world IS flat. Hold your children close.
