Vespa: sexier from a distance

Mad Men's Talia Balsam's Vespa: "They're Sexier From a Distance" - Buyer's Remorse - Racked National


Talia Balsam: All my life I had wanted/envisioned myself on an Italian Vespa. I was like, "That's it. That's my mode of transportation." I'm very interested in Italy. I've worked there and I was thinking this was going to be part of my—I guess—identity. I don't know what I was thinking. So when I was twenty-five, and living in LA, I got one.

Basically, for me, they're sexier from a distance, but not my talent. John never understood why I never rode it again.
