Nico and Quiet

img_70921

Nico and Quiet (their English names) are unexpected. I rarely encounter couples – at least the ones that include two sexes – in which both members look reasonably stylish. Recent graduate Nico, who does take her name from the singer on the first Velvet Underground album, works for the Bank of China, where I have a small account, and keeps a blog. In addition to classic rock and punk, Nico enjoys electronic music. She recently visited Nepal with Quiet and hopes to travel more in the near future.
