In our ongoing series of tourists doing or wearing, shall we say, interesting things…some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, and some will make you want to track the person down and torture them with Teletubby videos. This stunning outfit choice is more than enough to land this photo here, but the guard’s expression (far left) makes it one of my personal favorites. Lady, this is a temple in Egypt, not Miami Beach–context really matters, you know.
