Plovidv: Fashion's Bermuda triangle

I arrived in Plovdiv with a nasty head cold. Though I did make it out of our guest room occasionally it was never for very long and my memories are vague at best. I know our neighborhood in the Old Town was quaint:

I know the food was delicious and unbelievably cheap (5 leva, or about $2 for this assortment):

And I know the hair was fug.

No joke, I saw a woman with multi-colored extensions AND crimped bangs wearing white leather boots and leggings! You know Bulgaria tried to join the USSR and was turned away. I'm thinking I know why...
