designer danes

When I used to work at the rogue as a waitress, you could always tell who was a designer, architect, or artist. It wasn´t really that hard in the Pearl District of Portland, since most of the people in the neighborhood are in the design industry, but still they stood out from the rest of the customers. Denmark is sort of like a big Pearl District to me. Everyone is so smartly put together: well dressed, witty screenprinted tshirts, bold eyeglasses. Is it possible that everyone is Copenhagen is, in fact, a designer of some sort. I do love my personal stereotype of the danish. Its like a Hans Christian Anderson fairytale world of artists and architects. Smart, creative, happy, and beautiful people who ride around on bikes all day thinking of new ways to light up a room or hang their crafty new kitchen utensils.
