I drive a linear, boring route to work at 5.20am every morning. Though, the road is highlighted by the different locals that make the trip interesting.
Here is a brief description of one of the locals:
I don't know his name, but I do know that he sells the 'Pretoria News' in Sunnyside on Kotze road. I make sure as I approach his intersection that I catch the red light to watch him. Usually I end up five cars from the front. I call him Fabio.
Fabio takes his weight off the corner lightpost to make the next round. Five newspapers in hand. He slowly raises his head with like a narcisus opening for spring. The white stripe that seperates the two lanes is Fabios catwalk.
His favourite outfit is a lightly striped collared shirt that is buttoned to just above his belly. Distressed jeans, perfectly cut to just nip the tar. White pointed shoes that allows Fabio to glide down the catwalk in style. He always looks forward with a blank expression andhis eyebrows are always raised.
I can't figure out why Fabio dresses so well to sell newspapers. Possibly pride or maybe he is slightly delusional. I just find it ammusing to watch his trends from Monday to Friday.

This is similar to Fabios summer collection. He enjoys a fit by Italian designer Gaetano Navarra on Tuesdays and settles for a basic pin strip Polo on Fridays.

If anybody can notice this guy and get a picture, I will cook a dinner for you, promise.
