aa td tgk blog jhaz, nampak gambar swiss guard . baru teringat, dari aritu da nak kutuk (opss) i mean comment, tapi lupa hahahaha.
they say, a picture can say a thousand words.. kan? take a look then
no, he's not a clown. that, my friend is a swiss guard. but they are not guarding a swiss bank or whatever that has to do with Switzerland ;
they are the guardians of the Vatican.
And before you laugh him off, let it be known to you that the designer of that man's garish attire is none other than Michaelangelo himself. pretty bizarre isn't it. i guess Mike must have gone through some idea-drought period when designing that uniform..either that or he was then too drunk to think straight. i mean come on, he was like the master of building architectures of his time ( the basilica was so damn marvelous i tell ya), not to mention all the painting masterpieces. and yet, all that he could come up with was this puffy tunic with blue n gold stripes? looks more like a Shakespear's costume to me.
the only thing that swiss about the swiss guards are the men themselves. they are recruited from Switzerland and have undergone training with swiss army.n oh ladies, if u re thinking of hitting on them, forget it- they cannot marry you. but girls, i'm sure you've got a better taste though, or ..haven't you?. hehe.
the Vatican. the dome up there is mike's saint peter basilica
