If I were still a young single GI traveling around Europe, I’d be making a bee-line for Slovenia
First met some Slovenian girls skiing in Austria in the early ‘70s. They were Slovenian Junior National team.
They were the best looking world class athletes I’d ever met and that was saying something because I knew a lot from here in the U.S. West.
But then I went to Czechoslovakia and...whoa. Everywhere, in their spike heels.
I knew Communism was dead right there and then. I knew there was NO WAY these women were gonna stay stuck in a boring, drab dead end system that wanted them to all look like prison guards.
And that’s what happened 17 years later. Took awhile, but...all those kids in Eastern and Southern Europe behind the Drab Curtain just grew up and kicked it all down.
