Please explain. :?



i'm not a fan of the whole nouveaux bohemian movement...

a bunch of ipod-clad artistes who are too busy to write/pronounce the entire word and just shorten it to boho..

;)

my two cents..

i think the euro plates would suit your mini, een, as you have the big cut-out for the plate, in which a regular plate looks silly.

go the euro :wink:

PS what does boho stand for? your surname? also, you're but a young fella!!!

Cush is right, Boho is the colloquial form of the term "Bohemian". There's HEAPS on Wiki about it. :wink:

Cush, you may also be interested to know that there are technically 5 different types of contemporary "bohemian", not only the nouveaux. :wink:

I personally use the term partially out of respect to the late Jonathan Larson, composer of musicals including RENT* and tick, tick... BOOM!, of which one of his lesser known compositions is a tune called "Boho days," and partially in it's original context of the image of the struggling artist.

Hope that all helps. :)

* I am currently writing my Honours thesis on Larson and RENT.

Oh no, so your not a real French 'Boho' with the Absinth and the Opium or even a beatnik.... never mind.

That suade image looks like contrived industry schlock from here.
