The people-doggo ratio was skewed 100:1 but one cannoli hope for the opposite

イタリアンデー🍕🍗🍦🍷🍋 – 1~3枚目は食べたものたち😋 4枚目はfreeだったからやってもらったタトゥーシール！5秒くらいで終わったのにお風呂入った時なかなか取れんくて焦った。 5枚目はパフォーマー。実はこの女性上半身裸。大事な所はシール、あとはペイントで誤魔化して？ひたすらフラフープ回してました🤡 6枚目はたぶんマスコットキャラクター。それより横の人可愛すぎないか、、 7枚目は人、人、人。正直こんなにいるとは思わなかったなめてた😇 #italianday#italianfestival#commercialdrive#🇮🇹#05112017
