The pink Vespa grabbed my eye. It was an unusual combination of female + machine. Not like the familiar and offensive association of female + machine you find in the vacuum cleaner, or the odd loss of significance you find in "girl's bicycle." It was an assertion of grace and energy that was not overpowering, but it was still in its way a triumph.
