Calling Audrey Hepburn

摘要

Her customized vespa et4 scooter is painted the same color as her signature fluorescent green wig. The bike's pink flame graphics match her sparkly eye shadow. She is Nuclia Waste, a member of the Denver Cycle Sluts performance troupe. She is also a man—and the unofficial spokestransvestite for Erico Motorsports of Denver. La Dolce Vita*. Try La Cage aux Folks. Nuclia Waste is no Audrey Hepburn, but she can help sell Vespas for their Italian manufacturer, Piaggio SpA. The firm has let the 85 "boutiques" that peddle its zippy scooter control how the 59-year-old brand gets reintroduced in this country. And that means its dealerships are letting Vespa drivers do the talking.
