    I don't usually think of "gypsies" as being so well groomed and clean, not to sound sterotypical, just thought of them as more ethnic looking and not having roots and bathing and beautiful dresses, etc. access...

    There are very strict codes of cleanliness that must be followed by many Romanies. The idea of dirty comes from an old insult that meant in league with the devil not actually unclean because of the traditions that were considered unchristian.
