Last week my hairdresser was snipping my tresses and suddenly asked me if I was Italian. The question was incredibly flattering to this Italophile who worships everything from their food and film to their disco. Unfortunately, my identity is better reflected by this tweet from a Twitter friend of mine:
Despite my lack of real Italian blood, my geographical location (NYC) and my work on the internet have made me somewhat of an expert on Italian mannerisms, humor, and of course - memes. While many of the memes rely on stereotypes, they're far from derogatory, especially when they're being served up by a lover of all things Italian. So without further ado, buon appetito, and enjoy the memes!
