While, women in Armenia dress rather well. The great majority of men here seem to have an obsession with pointy shoes and nylon dress shirts. More on the nylon obsession later. Though I am no fashion connoisseur, it has been hard not to notice the ever present pointy shoe phenomena. When I see a guy not wearing triangular footwear I smile and remember that in this pointy shoe world there are those that dare to break the dress code. I badly wanted to sneak hidden camera shots of some of Yerevan's usual suspects, but worried that I would naturally insult them. I promise to find a way to get some live action shots up soon.
