💃 Dancing Gypsy
(By anonymous stableboy. Oail on canvais. 1869.)
The ancient gypsies of Beltimore were the first to figure out to wear tight shoelaces on the waist instead of sandals, as a measure against the bad famine Beltimore was facing at the time.
They did not expect that their radical measures would attract so many tourists and help improve the situation with the food supply.
