nations that plundered Rome in the 5th century, notorious for
destroying the monuments of art and literature.
Alt. of Vandalic
Hence, one who willfully destroys or defaces any work of
art or literature.
I remember my first 'Sports Illustrated' shoot was with the photographer Walter Iooss, and Julie Campbell was the editor, and we were at the president of Mexico's private house in Cancun - this was before anything else that's now in Cancun even existed. And they told me to get a tan, so I spent all morning in the sun, and I was burnt.
