Pinamar, Argentina

Corporate sponsorship what?!

so the amount of corporate sponsorship here is astounding. everything seems to be associated with at least one fortune 500 company. dustin and i went for a walk ´downtown´ with my uncle, aunt, and little cousin, and managed to catch the citroen show. i haven´t seen anything so ridiculous in a long time! it starts out ok, cirque-du-soleil style with costumed acrobats bouncing off the walls. then it quickly deteriorates as shiny black leotard wearing dancers with holes cut stragetgically thoughout their costumes come out and gyrate on big blocks along to what my sister later assures me is a madonna song. i should have guess i suppose, they were wearing the madonna-style pyramid boobs! it was impressive in a weird sort of way...flashing lights, dj spinning in a booth high above the 3 meter screen tooting on one of those horns that´s better suited for starting desert drag races than hooting along to music.
the ford show was marginally better. again, cirque-du-soleil style, with trapeze artists dressed like mermaids doing their thing high above the crowd. suddenly, the lights dim and the music quiets down to a tolerable level...when...FLASH! everything comes back full force, and you see that there are now scantily clad dancers doing aqua-batics in huge tanks in the middle of the audience. go ford go!
