A Day with Bandoleiro

My first assignment for WUBA is to interview Gerardo Dubois. known to most by his nom de mode, Bandoleiro. I know little about fashion and even less about designers, my vague impression of the latter having been formed mostly by Maya Rudolph’s portrayal of Donatella Versace on Saturday Night Live. Understandably, I’m a bit nervous.

SIRO BERCETCHE - MUSICIAN
From where might Siro Bercetche be coming? I walked a block from my house to my favorite San Telmo bodegón and began to think to myself that maybe I was wrong to invite him to this extreme of the city.

Today, when the leading men need nothing more than a pretty face and strong abdominals plastered on one billboard after another, we meet Rolando Bruno, a born seducer ripped out of the 1960s, who not only conquers women for his impeccable style but also for his great musical talent.
