That's what's so fun about her - she loves to be a weirdo too :)aroundthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055653945403820182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094192455188817050.post-63141596145748696382015-02-22T13:37:11.640+01:002015-02-22T13:37:11.640+01:00Dirndls aren't a thing in Baden-Württemberg ei...Dirndls aren't a thing in Baden-Württemberg either, and yet there's a charming and well-known woman in Esslingen who only wears Dirndls.

We also weren't in northern Germany, we were right here in the Pfalz. They don't fit the dress here, either. I didn't realize that there was a ban on wearing them outside of prescribed times ;) aroundthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055653945403820182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094192455188817050.post-44729902404602336902015-02-22T11:38:16.294+01:002015-02-22T11:38:16.294+01:00Gee, wearing dirndls at a Grünkohl party in northe...Gee, wearing dirndls at a Grünkohl party in northern Germany? That's a little bit like wearing 19'th century cowboy costumes while visiting Cape Cod.
