People
who think they are impervious to the pull of marketing
have obviously never watched the Kenvelo commercial.
In it, a Catholic school girl leaves the monastary to
walk through the streets of Prague flashing the Kenvelo
sign as hundreds of young teenagers (all wearing Kenvelo
clothes) follow her to one of the brightest-lit raves
I have had the pleasure to see. Of course the school
girl (who has since changed into some stylish Kenvelo
wear) is the DJ of said rave, and in the end everybody
is dancing, flashing the Kenvelo sign, and generally
being merry. Sound stupid? That's what I thought until
Gavin, Mark, Shain and I spent more time in Prague's
three Kenvelo stores than anywhere else.
Prague
is a beautiful city with lots of medieval buildings
and of course the picturesque Charles bridge. Our experience
in Prague was a mixture of Kenvelo stores, beautiful
scenery, and macabre destinations, including a crowded
Jewish cemetary with bodies buried on top of each other
and a church decorated with the bones of 40,000 plague
victims. We stayed in a cute little place with a loft
that was only a few minutes from the square. Amusing
anecdotes include Mark and Shain being propositioned
by Czech prostitutes outside of Prague's McDonald's,
and leaving the bone church city only to find our train
was not actually going back to Prague.
Enjoy
the pictures - those of you who don't the Kenvelo sign
will probably figuring it out - somebody (usuallly me)
is flasing it in almost every picture. For more information
about Kenvelo, consult the Kenvelo
Webpage.
