Such details, as true they are, are only known by some insiders like you and 
me ;-)... For most of our north american friends Germany is =Germany and 
St.Pauli is =Oktoberfest. And a dirndl is a dirndl... For instance me as 
swiss I have given up to rectify tourists that the cocoo clock is not from 
here (like our famous watches) but from the german Schwarzwald (though I 
have to admit that our tourist shops meet these expectations by selling tons 
of cocoo clocks, too).

>Very pretty, but very stereotype!
>St Pauli is in Hamburg, closer to Denmark and Sweden than it is to Munich's 
>Beer gardens and Oktoberfest - to represent a girl from the most famous 
>street there, the Reeperbahn, she should be wearing a lot less, and then in 
>black leather or lace(or just skin). Probably would have much stronger leg 
>muscles too.This was the area of Hamburger where the rope makers (reeper) 
>worked, it was/is full of houses of ill-repute and grubby bars for rum 
>swilling sailors. Since the 1950's it has become slightly more respectable 
>with a few fringe theatres (Schmidts Tivoli) and some better bars and 
>restaurants, but, behind the scenes it's still very much a red light 
>district (I wonder if knowing that would sell a lot of beer?)
>PS: St Pauli is also where the Beatles started their career (Star Club)

>Her "uniform" is very Bavarian, only a Bavarian girl would be wearing a 
>floor length skirt (which , in some cases is very fortunate.)
>At 5'3" and 110  pounds she would never be able to carry the loads of beer 
>"Steins" or "Mass" glasses either. Five-eight and 220 pounds would be 
>nearer the mark.
>Cheers
