Friday was Constitution Day and all around town we saw women wearing tight-fitting faux leather pants or leggings (and thongs). I jokingly commented that it must be the national costume for the holiday. I think San Geraldo believed me. He looked it up online.
It’s a common occurrence for SG to spill something on whatever clean shirt he’s wearing. He was wearing a blue polo shirt the other day and I heard an “Oops.” I took a picture, of course, and named it “SGspot.” Whenever I went through my photos for posting, I would stop and wonder whose G spot I had photographed.
After our move, we quickly discovered a popular burger place called Goiko Grill. It’s cool and trendy, and most of the patrons are university students. We might be the only ones there that whine about the uncomfortable wood chairs. But the food is great (more than just burgers). I finally had one burger because of its name, not its ingredients. Who could resist Kevin Bacon?
El viernes era el Día de la Constitución y por toda la ciudad vimos mujeres que llevaban pantalones o leggings de piel sintética ajustados (y tangas). Bromeé y comenté que debía ser el traje nacional para la fiesta. Creo que San Geraldo me creyó. Lo buscó en Internet.
Es algo habitual que SG derrame algo sobre la camisa limpia que lleva puesta. El otro día llevaba un polo azul y escuché un “Ups”. Tomé una foto, por supuesto, y la llamé “SGspot”. Cada vez que revisaba mis fotos para publicarlas, me detenía y me preguntaba de quién era el punto G que había fotografiado.
Después de nuestra mudanza, descubrimos rápidamente un popular lugar de hamburguesas llamado Goiko Grill. Es genial y moderno, y la mayoría de los clientes son estudiantes universitarios. Puede que seamos los únicos que nos quejamos de las incómodas sillas de madera y la corriente de aire que entra por la puerta. Pero la comida es genial (más que solo hamburguesas). Finalmente comí una hamburguesa por su nombre, no por sus ingredientes. ¿Quién podría resistirse a Kevin Bacon?
• La lista de ingredientes no me entusiasmó, pero fue excepcional.
• Día de la Constitución.
• Punto SG
“Kevin Bacon” burger? So clever! Jx
Jon:
And it worked. The only reason I ordered it was because of the name and I ended up loving the burger.
Who can resist Bacon, even Kevin!
My oh my, the Leather Girls are out!
Speaking of out, Out Damn SG Spot!
Bob:
I have a spray that gets out every damned spot.
The double entendres coming in droves! And the s and m outfits. All so Christmassy!! Boud.
Boud:
Pleather is very Christmassy.
Now THAT post title grabbed my attention!
Debra:
I do my best (or worst).
Looks like a tasty burger, it has been a long time since I have had a really great burger. You should get a pair of black leather shorts, jeans style would be a good cut for you. I had a pair about 100 pounds ago.
David:
When we lived in Sevilla, we never found a truly good burger. I assume that’s changed over the years, but we haven’t been left wanting since then. I did always want a pair of real leather pants (not shorts), but I don’t think I’d be comfortable in them.
I love the look of the Goiko Grill place!!!! And it looks soooooo delish! And the burger is aptly named, because as your aware Kevin Bacon packs A LOT of meat, if you get my drift. A mouthful. But you had me with the opening picture of the fountain and the tree made of potted cyclamen.
Mistress Borghese:
I wonder if they had Kevin’s meat in mind when they named it. Isn’t that “tree” beautiful?
Why would anyone wear pleather pants unless they were getting paid to do it?
Very clever take on the naming of a bacon burger. I’ll say no more.

Ms. Moon:
Pleather pants are very popular. I suppose that’s not a fabric (is it even a fabric?) that would be very comfortable in Florida’s heat and humidity.
random observations:
— Kevin B was quite the looker in his prime, IMHO; that scene of him in a towel from “Apollo 13” was a treat
— hard to believe anyone outside of this country would use American cheese (icky stuff)
— how the heck do they manage to get those pants on???
— I share that behavioral characteristic with SG; I sometimes wear a napkin bib-like when necessary
— I agree.
— I know! But it was actually delicious on the burger. I have a feeling it was cheddar and not just American. I don’t even know where one would find American cheese here.
— One summer in Italy, I was in a boutique and watched a young woman lay down on the floor and pull on a pair of skin tight white jeans. And they had no stretch.
— Oh, how embarrassing!
I hope those girls in the leather pants have a good supply of yeast infection meds. handy. Yikes.
TexasTrailerParkTrash:
There are pharmacies everywhere.
Everything comes back into style. I can remember lots of leather (even in my closet) in the early 80s.
Kelly:
I’ve had and have plenty of leather jackets and even a suede vest, but never leather pants (or shorts).
I wonder if Kevin Bacon makes royalties? I think he should sue them. (So American of me, I know.)
Were there more women wearing pleather on this particular Friday than any other Friday? Maybe it’s just the Friday costume.
Steve:
I, too, wondered about royalties and a lawsuit. Ah well! Definitely more women in pleather on that Friday than on other Fridays. But I suppose it’s not something most women wear to work. Still, it was more pleather than I’ve seen in one day.
I’ve been catching up on your posts and I don’t see any mention of your ear. Or maybe I’ve forgotten how to read. So, how’s your ear and the rest of you? The Kevin Bacon looks good to me. If you have any other burgers there, they all have to be within six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Love,
Janie
janiejunebug:
I haven’t had awful dizzies since that day. But I’ll be seeing the doctor again soon. Back is doing a lot better, as is SG’s. And, yes, I almost included the six degrees in the title!
Goiko Grill? Since you had Kevin Bacon, sure it wasn’t a Diner?
Kirk:
This took me a moment! Brilliant.
Wellllll, now, I’d say that you have a new crowd of women walking around in Córdoba… or, maybe you just never much focused on showing us the pleather-shorts-wearing young women, in Fuengirola 🙂 I don’t get the whole concept (not the thong, not the pleather shorts… even if I could, no merci). Sin embargo… give me a good Kevin Bacon burger, and I’m in (and, like SG, I ALWAYS end up with something spilled on me… it’s ridiculous).
Judy C:
SG’s mother would always say “Oh shoot” mid-meal and clean a spill off her breasts, where everything landed. SG’s land on the belly. I see pleather around all the time, but I had never seen so much of it as that day. Not as common in Fuengirola. But the average age was a lot older.
I think I have more shirts with spots than not.
Walt the Fourth:
If the spots are permanent, I get rid of them. But I have two great laundry sprays that remove just about every bit of damage SG (and I) can do.
I have just caught up on all of your most recent posts. I am enjoying seeing all of your photos from your new city. And oh my….those leather shorts and pants. It gives Constitution Day a whole new meaning!
The pleather is not always an attractive look, IMHO.
Yum!
And Kevin Bacon? I’d eat that.
XOXO
Sixpence:
Well, I can tell you for certain, he’s delicious, rich, and meaty!
I spill a lot too; that is why I wear bow ties.
Urspo:
I had a colleague who always tossed his necktie over his shoulder while he at lunch. I tried it once and it slipped off my shoulder directly into my bowl of soup.
