Good morning!

Some Cali shot a few days ago

Still trying to cope with getting back in regular-life territory after a wonderful three weeks break around the world, and a great weekend back with my beloved crew, I better try to update some of this blog.

I better?

I don’t know… maybe it’s just that waiting for tests to produce results can be very boring and today I got nothing better to do than update this, instead?

*considers the fact she is tired after a snowy weekend and the heart-wrenching Derby in San Siro, then checks her self-assumed state of boredom again to realize that ain’t the truth*;)

If any, the derby’s awfulness of yesterday night could have prevented me from coming here and writing due to pain/anger/disappointment overload, but then Karim luckily was there this past night to heal everything the best way I know & works for me: SEXUALLY.

😉 Now things are manageable again 😉 and moreover every now and again I still like to show up round here and write a bit, for no particular reason.

Writing relaxes me, and somehow doing it clears my mind which is used to pace way too fast.

I won’t ever feel the update over here as a duty though so my reasons to open this and put some – virtual – ink at it are volatile, dependable and completely unpredictable.

I don’t come often, but I still?

I am also probably aging (EEEEEEKKKK!) though I perceive that only remotely sometimes (I still a party freak whenever chances come, of course, as this past weekend furtherly proved actually!); this means when I have spare times, 97% of chances are that I will love to focus on different things than staring at a pc to write stuff superfast (because writing DO relax me BUT I still produce that at my usual fast pace… that someway manages to slow me down inside… I know… *it’s complicated* 😉 like the whole rest of myself!).

Talking for a moment of aging, to be honest the only field where I perceive I’m aging is the one of sport.

But I need to clear water there: I keep being a daily sport practicer, and no way my body is aging there, nor my mind and focus… no, the field of disappointment (in myself) comes now that I am banned from waking up at nights to catch the Lakers live.

The only way I get to see Lakers live this year just as I did for this past Xmas

After last year’s labyrinthitis, I simply cannot do that anymore, and definitely not once every two days.

I hate that.

I miss following the events directly, even though this season isn’t exactly shaping up to be anything more than a transitional one (last hint, the dreadful loss – that I totally expected – against the Clippers on Saturday).

But watching Kobe still gives me emotional charge, and that works better when done straight when things happen (this year that might happen just like it did over the holidays, being there in person at Staples Center, which rocked especially with K, my father and his, in the best position namely the upper boots of the venue…)

He’s on a pretty amazing roll of performances, while still struggling with his physique (everyone gets old, no matter the class unmatched).

Amidst all of Kobe’s personal life lows and mistakes, as long as he plays basketball with that drive and passionate and committed approach, united to his crystal clear class…

That’s all I look for on a basketball court (while still supporting HARD my homeboy Dani, who’s playing really fine so far!).

We're Past Xmas time...sadly 😉

Anyway, in case Kevin Durant wants to be traded to Lakers Land… well I won’t raise any hand in opposition.

He’s the only player I see capable of keeping up well after Kobe’s legacy: I don’t care for Howard (who’s already shaping up as a sort of a loser to me), or other names which are thrown this days around to Lakers’ ears – things that are bound to happen often when the season clearly won’t be a winning one, no matter how much I’d like it to be -.

I have even started to follow him on Twitter, just to explain how much I like him (and I follow very few people, so that means a lot in my world).

I have also started following Lana Del Rey because I am in love with her video and song “Born To Die” and “Videogames” , that made me fall hard for her crispy, deep, sexual voice.

I found her a cross among my dear Amy (forever missing), the amazing Shirley Manson (Garbage may be back soon… WHOOOO!) and Fiona Apple so I was all over her these past weeks BUT…

Then she went on SNL the other day and she was dreadful so I am taken aback for a while, until she won’t prove herself live.

I am not here for artists who are good only in the studio: real music is LIVE (more on music later on ;))

San Francisco view from a privileged place 😉

Let’s get back to the past chronicles… During times in between last December and last week, I had the pleasure of taking along Swifty, my beloved horse, through all of our holidays spots (well, those houses are all family’s property, but I perceive them as holiday places, naturally yet).

He LOVED both of Karim’s houses (the one PALACE in San Fran, with the stables in their own park… awesome) and also the mansion in Paris (there the stables are a little out of reach, but he loved them anyway, and especially he didn’t really mind any of the airplane traveling. He likes to fly private just as much as I do ;)).

I had a truly special time abroad.

I fit marvelously in Karim’s family: they are always so sweet, kind and caring.

I love them, their way to be at once really upper class when it comes to interests and manners, but then really, really, REALLY down to Earth, true, and very gentle and polite with everyone so that they would never try to upstage regular folks just because they can out from their millions, positions and status.

I love this and I could have fit among them just that way.

While we were away, Italy proved itself to be a place where being unloyal, stealing and generally behaving in no civil nor right way gets way more than a pass. I was appalled to discover that a RIGHT fiscal inquiry that proved beyond any contest that in Italy to fraud the State is a routine, people had it not against the stealers… but against the Finance Police???

Dear sight, even under working task.

WTF.

It’s Berlusconi’s fault again, to have promoted such a loser&sucker&awful practice as “needed”, “forgivable” and sometimes even “right&requested” (!!!!!)

I hope Monti will be successful in his attempt to give a spinal tap to this Country that risks to crumble ONLY due to its faults and cracks, but still too dumb (allegedly yet) to realize no fairy tale, only work and commitment is gonna make itself rise up again.

And tragedies somehow pile up for our Country… not only the BBB rating (expected) from the S&P’s people will affect us for a bit, but so many things keep going in the wrong direction out of a strange and tenacious combination of destiny & bad humans’ choices.

The tragedy of the Costa Concordia keeps making me cry after two days.

I couldn’t even THINK at first when I got the news and even less after I saw the images.

Las Vegas NYE time was superbly sexy&fun&sharp

So much pain, and so much wrong, and so much unacceptability.

What was the Commander in Chief FUCKING thinking?

Then he abandoned the ship sinking PRIOR to many of the guests???

I can’t fathom my despise.

So I won’t.

But hopefully all these signs of fuckery all over the world aren’t a sign of the Mayans creepy prophecy (that, needless to say, I absolutely DON’T BELIEVE in), because I have way too many things to accomplish yet in my life and I moreover am always optimistic in the things that have yet to come.

The “Universe Countdown” just cannot happen while I’m alive, please and thank you (this is my ego speaking and I love it).

Anyway I’m trying to pack the year 2012 with LOTS of amazing experiences already, so in case I’m wrong… I’ll have lived it to its fullest.

And you know, that for me mostly mean two things: TRAVELING & MUSIC.

When the two things merge it’s just the perfection so… I can’t wait to attend Coachella because of Radiohead, that among brackets will make me fly again ALSO to Japan in July, because you can’t miss at once Thom Yorke and Japan, can you? (and the rest of people at Coachella are PERFECT by the way!!! Noel!!! Florence!!! No Doubt!!! the whole line-up is pretty much flawless to me!):

Those weeks I will be in Los Angeles and California for three weeks again (for life & work) so it’s all perfect… also because guess who’s gonna be at LA venues as well?

COLDPLAY!!!!!

we had a blast in vegas

Amazing.

All my tickets in and I can’t wait 😉

Ah!

Don’t get me wrong I still LOATHE the pastiche that Mylo Xyloto is (hard) especially now that with Charlie Brown being the third single they have no more left of good songs in the album to promote (they used already the only three up to Coldplay usually flawless high standards), but whatever they play, live they are awesome (as Rock In Rio furtherly proved to me).

Too bad next in line for them is that TERRIBLE and commercialized whoring-up partnership with Rihanna, that created the cringe-worthy Princess of China.

Mark my words: that Princess Of China song will sell a LOT, it will boast Coldplay just when they will be touring USA in Spring and make the only single of Mylo Xyloto to reach top ten and maybe (probably) the top of Billboard. But that won’t change the fact the song is LAME. LAME. LAME.

Chris knows what it gets to get spotlight, and the song is so bubble gum pop it will surely please the dumb masses enough to be a super hit… but in all that, half of my esteem for the once un-mistaking Four Kings went way downhill artistically.

Still love them of course… but this year Coldplay just like Maroon 5 did decided to step down from my pedestal due to the wrong turning towards a famewhoring attitude that is affecting their artistic credits.

Nonetheless, I also hope Paradise (which I adore ) wins the Grammy for Best Pop Song for a Duo or Group.

The only other winner I’d take would obviously be Amy, but I don’t like the fact she sings a cover (same problem I have with the Black Keys‘s chosen song).

Paradise is the most deserving song in that lot; I consider Foster The People an overrated & way less talented copy of the Dandy Wharols crossing Phantom Planet, so I really wouldn’t like them to win even though that song is cute & catchy, while about Moves Like Jagger…

Dear Lord… the song is the most generic Maroon 5 have ever been.

I can’t expect well with the fact that song could be their return to Grammy win because if it’d happen we would get a fourth album filled with Benny Blanco’s type of unremarkable crap & I can’t take it.

Maroon 5 are (or were? Let’s hope they still ARE) so, so, SO much better than that.

Just listen to these songs that they did for charity compilations (the first and the last out of this mix of songs in the collage – with the always adorable Anne V, which I keep continuatively love – I did for Margherita and Serena’s M5 related blog), and I hope like me you will wish they get back to THIS and not praise such reductive crappy songs like MLJ or SH (please, let’s be serious… Pitbull could have sang those… Yikes!):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

I want their soulful and funky and NO AUTOTUNED talents back in full display and I fear it wouldn’t happen if a Grammy would rise for a song of Moves Like Jagger type (which I think still possible to happen, actually I think if the commissioners won’t praise the late Amy Winehouse, MLJ is the frontrunner for victory due to its astonishingly huge sales).

So what if Moves Like Jagger sold a shitload?

Sales means zero regarding artistry (see Katy Perry streak of number ones with less than a sub-par album).

Moves Like Jagger is a hugely popular song that is by far surpassed by almost anything else on Hands All Over (which I love and I find shameful it only went platinum after & due to MLJ, which became popular probably only due to the overexposure of Adam in *that dreadful tv thing*, and consequent fangirls’ screaming about how he’s HOT!!!! – which he surely is but that’s not the point in buying his music, darn…).

Sure, so far it has gained Maroon 5 an incredible limelight… they just won again an award (a People’s Choice one, which means they really are popular at the moment), they are candidated also at the Brits, they got multiple certifications and stuff going but… I want back quality, not quantity.

QUALITY, because they were so capable there, better than any other in group pop music, and now all that seems worthy is Adam’s hotness?

Sure, just look at him this past night at the Golden Globes, he’s FINER than FINE but… I want him back to willing to be a fantastic singer, not the one tasteless ordals of last-minute fans worship due to the fact he’s on a lame tv show and is “hot”.

He should dress formal any day. Adam Levine wins any competition for FINEST SPECIMEN at this past night Golden Globes Red Carpet. Lord.

For God’s sake Adam get back to your roots (but still wear tuxedos cos you’re flawless when well dressed… Lord Almighty you are), because out of the many blessings Nature gave you the first is your unique voice and your ability to touch inner chords of souls everywhere when you pour your own spirit in your songs, and forget to chase fame in the easiest way just because you’re also – it happens so – handsome and that comes easy in our society for folks like you.

Well, I hope 2012 sees the rise back of Maroon 5 (read Adam) and Coldplay (read… Coldplay ;)) back up in that pedestal they used to share in my world, things that will happen when they get rid of some nasty habit they seems keen with at the moment.

Do I have to call up the Mayans for it or…?

Okay 😉

Let’s find a deal: I know there’s still a pure artistic art in each one of you guys, so just show it soon again and I will be really happy.

I’m not asking much after all (lol ;)!).

Shizzzz it’s late and my tests are done!!! Therefore… hugs everybody, my logorrhoea produced the effect of making me forget totally about Milan’s loss.

Mission accomplished then: so thank you and catch you later again ;).

Missus Z.

I adored Don Giovanni and can’t wait to snowboard!

Good morning from the sunniest Milan folks!

Day shines and night shone.

The La Scala Don Giovanni Première was SUBLIME in my book, with a direction that I personally really enjoyed, with that final twist in the set that I totally dug, with the interactivity of the performers down the halls and overall thanks to an amazing night with my family and Karim (last year there was also his family, but this year to me the representation was better so it’s a deuce of the past two years as global rewarding for my spirit&soul!).

I can’t get how people could not enjoy that…

And there have been allegedly some (I can’t at lameness of uneducated people…).

Anyway, this is gonna be a very short post because after Maroon5 bailed out (AGAIN!!!!) of their Italian and not only duties, my weekend ain’t gonna be anymore an XFactor (pheeeeewwww… I was hating to have to attend the show just to see M5, but our friends who work in production there had land us special places to enjoy the performance and I couldn’t say “No thanx your show makes me feel icky” that easily to them, although they DO know their show as any other reality makes me feel awful…. ;)) + Rome + Milan trips to their gigs, and this means…

Wonderful Weather + Free Time = Amazing Snowboarding Long Weekend At The Mountains!!!!

At first I was kinda bummed and way disappointed about the further postponing (if there will ever be a postponing at all…) by Maroon 5 but then honestly I recovered very quickly (is not that I trust them that much anymore anyway so it didn’t truly “shock” me this time that they canceled again) and now I am actually happy that my weekend will be a snowy one 😉

I have seen them in Russia, and then a lot of times in this HAO tour in Usa so I don’t care for more of the same cup if they are NOT in it (I’m sure Adam has something USA-related to do these days he will be happier to commit for than not a four dates stopping in far away Europe… I don’t totally buy that he’s sick, surely not as sick as he claims to be because his voice didn’t sound sick at all in Russia, sorry. Maybe he’s sick for real, and then it means I am mean, but my distrust in him comes a long way after certain decisions he made about his professional life that will never make him the person he used to be in my eyes, ever again, sadly).

He’s a TV personality after all… he has stopped to be a serious musician the day he decided to sell his soul to reality tv: canceling gigs again without thinking of fans traveling COUNTRIES to catch them in Europe, and again giving those committed fans merely HOURS of coping time to patch bookings comes naturally after that (Adam’s credit will never be recovered, but I’m sure he doesn’t care much about this either, or he wouldn’t have chosen to put his feet into that degrading world he now claims to love and root for. Too bad the way he ‘s behaving is causing also HIS BAND to experience a lacking of credit and a generally spreading distrust: I wish I could have recorded what people at XFactor Italy and Alcatraz staff production confessed me feeling towards Maroon5 the other day, when they spoke with me about their impromptu canceling… Let’s just say they are now high in their list of “people who we hope to never have anything to share with again”…).

Enough of this broken record of mine (still bugs me a lil, but that pain also is recovering fast, trust me: I’ll enjoy the music he/they will share when they will, but no way I am gonna ever again lose any sleep on their decisions which are gonna keep taking credibility away from them in the eyes of educated music lovers. It’d be a waste of time from my part, since he/they don’t care about that firstly).

I leave you instead with the Tribute for John Lennon in the 31st anniversary of his sad and tragic death, because John is always ruling, dead or alive.

He’s eternally a boss 😉 and eternally every and each one of us must celebrate his supreme legacy :

Dinner ended lovely just a few minutes ago.

Our altar

Folks… how awesome is to eat Japan food in Japan?

Very few things compare, and I say this as an Italian (and the same, true Italian food is only eatable in Italy… no matter how good the supposed Italian place is- though Da Silvano in New York stands up as a good exception after many years).

Anyway.

Yes, I’m writing my first blog post as a married woman.

Lying on this tatami, which is soft and smell as beautiful nature and fresh life.

I am a very HAPPY married woman.

Karim and I are still based in Kyoto, and will enjoy much more of Japan for the whole of August (we will travel northern too).

Our closest family and friends will stay here for a couple of days more (that was our gift to them, a week-long Japanese bliss to share our joy).

Expect much cheesiness in this post.

But ehi… I plan to get married ONLY once (I would have lived happily in never marry at all actually, but you know why I decided to walk down the aisle), so my swhirlingly fluttery dreamy mood is got to be allowed.

the guest tables

Or else, just read somewhere else 😉

This is MY HOUSE, I do what I please, and what I do please only.

Where were we?

Oh yeah… the marriage thing.

Ceremony was spectacular, and it was at the same time Catholic and Shinto.

Lots of theatrical sighting, but in the end it was all very spiritual and romantic… very much zen.

As the day was August 6th, we took a moment and a speech to recall and remember and honor the victims of hate and war, in a day of love and bliss, and so we said a prayer we did create for Hiroshima Aniversary.

Everybody cried (this girl included, because I can’t ever hold feelings back, which is one of the reasons people love me for they say).

surrounding for the trekking zen day

Weather could have been better BUT somehow the fancy unusual light of the clouded-up sky served amazingly for unbelievably great photos (we got to see some sneak peak… for the record, our photographers are… well, they are *VERY* famous. Costly, Fashionably Reckoned, and just FLAWLESSLY skilled. It was an experience to get to be photographed b that kind of pros. Wow and double Wow…).

We ditched our Western-type outfits sometime at the evening, after the first balls went in, to wear some kick-ass traditional kimonos that were the gift brought by Japanese colleagues of Karim’s dad.

Which means diplomats, of course.

It was a very touching moment because – if you get to get accustomed with Japanese mentality, this won’t come as a surprise for you – Japanese culture is very kind and gentle, and politeness and respect are the core of any Japanese relationship with the Foreigners, but as much as they are incredibly cute and disposable, the same they have an exceptionally strict and intimate relationship with their own culture and to allow a Foreigner to wear their traditional clothes, the way they invited us to do means a WHOLE WORLD for them – and therefore to me.

The amazing location of our marriage

It means they feel us dignified enough to step into their inmost part, which is double-checked&linked with their traditional schemes.

It was awesome, honestly.

I wish I were able to say more in Japanese but yet I still a mess (Karim is endlessly amused by my inability there, given that he’s so fluent in anything Japanese-related, and not only reads but he writes in a wonderful calligraphy too… *sigh*), to express in their melodious language what their acceptance meant to me.

One day I will learn.

It’s a goal that I gotta hit.

Anyway…

Our friends had a blast (they still I suppose… they better be!!) and it was really funny to se how we merged the cheesiest Italian, American, Indian (K’s mum) approaches to party-times with the Japanese concept of it (which can get wild…believe!).

Then we are in the REIGN OF KARAOKE.

Still (we plan to do a show just tomorrow, for your information ;)) karaoke here is as popular as it was in Italy when I was a kid, in the first half of the 90’s.

We also wore celebratory kimonos after the dusked sky set in 🙂

That means we sang our hearts out several times, and we got appreciation by all Japanese involved (this Country values flawless singing at the highest rate I’ve ever seen anywhere… amazing, again), namely waitresses and waiters, staff at the Castle (oh yeah, we married in a Japanese Castle… did I forget to mention it? ;)), and then Karim just stole the day when he performed voice+piano a series of songs that are meaningful for us, most notably:

Elton John’s “Your Song“;

Coldplay’s “Lovers in Japan & Yellow“;

Chris Rea’s “I Can Hear Your Heartbeat“;

Maroon 5’s “Stutter & Sunday Morning“;

and my favorite when it comes to love songs, Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s “The Power Of Love“.

It was simply precious.

Then we sang together Al Green’s “Let’sStay Together“, and the amazing Cher+Sonny’s “I’ve Got you Babe“.

I also sang somhing solo for him… the best one turned out to be my rendition of Tina Turner’s “Simply The Best“, along with The Corrs’ (don’t laugh… I love that song.. ;)) “Irresistible“.

It was so, so much fun, indeed.

I feel so happy now…

The day after marriage we just stayed in our beautiful apartment in this incredible castle and well… we did what every newlyweds couple does, except that for us that is pretty much the daily norm (because I’m a proud nimpho somehow and I cannot live a day sexless unless forced).

We enjoyed taking breaths to admire the beautiful gardens around that are composed in so much perfected balance it is unfathomable.

We so love being here… Japan truly holds our hearts and to get married here meant everything to us.

6th August 2011. Me and my soulmate forever unite.

Thank you to everybody sharing our happiness… you all truly mean the world to us as well 🙂

If you follow my twitter you will be drag into more of Japan-love for weeks in, but now, as Karim is ready to start celebrate— *love* again, I leave you with a couple of things that I enjoyed while being here.

First the amazingness that was Coldplay tribute to the late Amy Winehouse at Lollapalooza (simply perfect… they stole my heart):

I adore Fix You… and this is amazing. Amy— I will forever miss your talent, just as every other real music lover will.

But love shone also in different forms, out of tearful tributes, like for instance when Maroon 5 hit Today Show on August 5th and Adam frequently made faces aside in the breaks.

Of course, he was directing all at Anne (whom he described in the New York Post as “the most wonderful part of my life”… let’s awe all together ;)):

The loveliness that are Adam and Anne together - 5th august 2011

Anne is in Russia now, but I am sure the strange times Adam is tweeting at the moment mean lots of Skyping for the far away lovers (which are both in synch also with their latest mutual passion… Golfing. They both are going crazy over it, which is also pretty cute, I’ll admit it even though I am not into golf at all, beside supporting Matteo Manassero and enjoying the surroundings of Country Clubs myself).

Anyway, as this doesn’t really involve ~~The Fuckery~~ that thing much, I can post some Maroon5 related stuff again… after all I said before I made up decently enough with them after their live gigs before hitting Japan.

This is a medley in music of pictures from the Today Show (with one of my fav tunes from Hands All Over, that got played also at our marriage):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

I adore to know Adam and Anne are together, whatever still bug me about Adam “post tv fame” gets erased by their magic as a couple… and then there still the fact I adore hearing the band and him live, because it’s for their live sparkle that I firstly fell in love with them all.

So, enjoy these videos I made out from America’s Got Talent (where they did performed the by-now successful Moves Like Jagger):

And also all the Today Show stuff, interviews included (even thought they mention that thing):

I get how in many ways that thing allowed Maroon 5 to get visible again (this ain’t a plus in my book, but it seems to be in theirs…), and created buzz to boost their latest sparkling hit, Moves Like Jagger (I like it enough, because it’s them, but I find it way too generic in comparison to their past music… but alas, that simplistic flavour is probably what makes the song a charting success now that the average taste is so terrible that Katy Perry’s songs are tying Micheal Jackson’s ones records... hear me cringe and cry, yeah….), which has just gotten its video ( it’s a pretty didascalic video which some will find also cute… to me the only relevant reason to watch it is that Adam’s carved like a God in tattoed marble there. And I believe what took so long to have it made was that Xtina stressed Jonas Akerlund to death so that she wouldn’t appear as a fat midget in the video next to him: look the edited frames and notice how her image is subjected to awkward perspectives… Xtina! Just accept your body… you are a star because you have a God-given voice, stop stressing about your weight and you’ll be fine), but I just can’t support this whole tv-fame haze at all.

In a way, that thing and its undeniable success is causing also the boycott of Moves Like Jagger by the two major USA radios – KIIS 102.7 and Z100NY, which are American Idol bound (which is why, despite the fact it is a huge commercial success and it has hit twice the number one spot on Digital Downloads, the song has yet to amass great numbers in Radio listening, causing its Billboard overall position to be fairly under its given potential).

A furthermore prove that record industry is a mess, because when radio programmers can be more influential on charts than people BUYING a song, and aforementioned radio-programmers deliberately don’t play what is undeniably a fitting Summer pop “anthem”, in favor of way less appealing songs, just to avoid a pair of tv competitors to get too much recognition before next Tv season gets in, you have clear in mind that everything that gets successful in the end doesn’t on real musical merit, but just because people’s tastes are forcedly fed with what record companies boost and decide they want to succeed.

Sad indeed, but in so many ways this is a also a responsibility of the taste watered down by idiotic reality singing shows, so in a way Maroon 5 shouldn’t complain about this at all, being PART of this process.

And this rant comes from someone that likes Moves Like Jagger, but far from believes it’s “amazing”: it’s a very good although generic poppy happy song, with a really great and catchy hook.

Still, it stomps over anything it is getting bypassed from by those supposedly “best in Usa” radios.

Shame on you, KIIS, Z100 & Ryan Seacrest.

Professionals?

Don’t think so.

But lets’ stop these thoughts… honestly, why go cares?

I’m ready to fall into my amazing hubby’s arms and live another amazing night over these softly tickling tatamis…

Sex is gonna be sparklingly SUPER and we feel so blessed here in this magical place.

And as for music… Japanese one can be really sensual and innuendo, too.

Have all a great summer— catch you soon!

Missus Z. 🙂

N.B.: EDITED with MLJ video and pic of K&I on August 11 🙂

Heineken Jammin Festival, Miami MEAT choke, (referendum?) = bliss

Oh… how awesome!!!!!!

Perfect performance

Today could be one of the best days of the year!!!!

Back after days of COMPLETE no connection (I got hacked past Wednesday in a very obnoxious way… obnoxious especially because it faked I could have ANY darn interest in THE Voice ~~Of Fuckery~~… Yikes!!! I despise despise despise all about any reality tv show, ESPECIALLY when it butchers THE art of MUSIC!!! The day I will ever watch that thing may the Judgement Day come and bury me down in flames!), today from a very quiet lab, as my tests roll on, I HAVE to get you all on the amazingness that has been the WHOLE Heineken Jammin Festival 2011 experience, and SO much more that is going on in these beautiful – although rainy – hours.

In so many ways, I loved to be not connected because I got even more pleasures out of being with my friends and lover in such awesome spaces and events.

I also had some wild super rewarding sex plays in the mud and washed up through rain which was SUPERBLY satisfying.

Dirrrrrrrt in the best way 😉

I just took a space to read this coming from Save The Children (for obvious reasons) to honor Gwen Stefani and No Doubts efforts for Japan Relief. YOU ROCK guys. YOU ROCK GWEN!!!

Blisssssssss!!!!

Three words: WE MET COLDPLAY (that of course wasn’t my first time, but it always is a FINE pleasure, especially when Guy is all chatty. He’s a dreamboat and always will be), and this time even Karim admitted he liked them – in that break AND especially for their rocking performance on stage.

I think it could all stop there if that were NOT actually the peak.

The peak?

I TALKED WITH LIAM GALLAGHER.

THAT is the peak and forever will be (though I really think he was intimidated by both my and K’s height… not that he would EVER admit it, of course).

My Oasis-Mania will always EQUALLY love both brothers, because one has THE most amazing raspy voice of his generation, and the other the most amazing easy writing skills (can’t wait for Noel’s solo album to drop… and while we’re at it, happy incoming marriage Noel!!!).

The days of the Heineken Jammin have been awesome… maybe not everybody loved the line-up as we did, but to me one of the peaks WAS DEFINITELY FABRI FIBRA!!!!

We re-met him (no big deal… he’s a homie ;)) as well, and actually as usual I had a blast.

We loved especially day one, even though weather wasn’t bright (but during the PERFECT Coldplay set, even rain stop bothering because NOTHING had to mess with the complete bliss that their set was. Gosh, they get better and better and better as performers every single time: the whole thousands and thousands were all so transfixed… males, females – because they have as many males fans as they have females, for God’s grace – everyone just stated the obvious: COLDPLAY are this generation’s U2. End of it. Another level, yep).

Cremonini and Elbow, the amazing Verdena, Negramaro (on second day) were really really good too.

Vasco Rossi on third day is a giver, I mean, Vasco is always a great fun live… but the rest of day three and some of day two was really a filler.

Taylor Momsen should just model because her music SUCKS; then… All Time Low??? REALLY???

Painful awfulness.

Never call them back again (not merely at this festival… just don’t let them come back in Italy ALTOGETHER, for the sake of music!).

Before we took off for the four days of Veneto’s magic we drowned in more bliss thanx to Apple and Steve Jobs, who revealed to the world the news about US:

Watch the whole of the Keynote from Apple Site:

Can't post the video here so CLICK over and watch from Apple site the WHOLE Keynote 🙂 Steve rules!!!

I adore Steve Jobs.

He is what I’d love to become, as I wrote, he’s an imaginative genius ahead of his time and full of dreaming power, without being naive or empty for it.

Steve… I suffer seeing you so weak and consumed… you’ll NEVER know how good you did for the world and… ME.

Love You.

Keeping up with amazingness of the past few days. we had to leave Venice soon on Sunday because Ladies and Gentlemen we had to VOTE for the Referendums (please let the Quorum be reached!!!).

This absolutely fantastic video from Sora Cesira, with its distinctive half Italian-English mash up, tells everything:

Genius again.

The total bliss ensued when this morning, just as I had hoped yesterday before getting some deserved rest, when I woke up to the GREAT news that LeBron(ze) James once again proved himself as the BIGGEST LOSER ever and choked again, overshadowed by Dirk Novitzky‘s TRUE class and losing the ring (he will never get) in favor of the very deserving Dallas Mavericks.

AMAZING.

Amazing.

AAAAAMMMMAAAZZZING.

This picture also is genius and it will keep me going smirking ALL day:

Dear Dirk and Lebron, thank you for a great movie... THE LOSS OF THE RING (Genius again!)

I’m very happy of the MEAT demise: I am sorry for Wade, who’s a great champion (in Dirk’s league), but you know my un-appreciativeness of Bronzey’s HYPE is as vast as sky and I hope finally it will stop, after the further proof that he simply CANNOT WIN.

He’s a choker, a loser, and will NEVER ever win, no matter how many (better than him) players he will surround himself with, he has NOT *that* factor that makes people win (read: COJONES).

He’s NOT a champion. He’s just a very good player with a set of natural skills that he NEVER developed rightly because he’s a lazy unfocused PRICK.

Very deserved. Congratulations TEAM Dallas Mavericks (Cuban still a jerk)

Yes.

This is what he is, because the only thing that holds himself from success is… HIMSELF.

What a waste of human being (You know I consider CRIMINAL when great talents get wasted due to people’s characterial FLAWS… it’s a damage to humanity to me, and let alone how can I take such a low form of life can get HYPED??? Please… shut up and hide under rocks. Losers will remain losers forever, because it’s in themselves the problem, and they just won’t solve that).

Stop hoping he will blossom because at 26 he’s starting to get old and stale ALREADY and should be ashamed the way he lost once again, once more.

Awwwwwwwww. The Laker Fan in me REJOICES so much.

I had really hoped a lot this would happen, and I am so delighted my fears past post were overcome by events 🙂

Today at lab, though, something else arrived that in a way made me very happy (I was thinking about buying it in Japan once there for marriage, because my record collection gotta remain intact a and complete NO matter ~~THE FUCKERY~~ that thing currently making me bleed), but on the other end still signify for some weeks more I can’t bend over that liking.

I can’t be derogatory to my life’s principles.

That means also (among brackets) that although I HAVE listened (once) to the song Adam and Gym Class Heroes did, Stereo Hearts (it’s a cute, unarming song… not a masterpiece, because NOTHING produced by those who write for KESHA and Britney Spears could ever be, but it’s a nice generically cute happy pop summer song that surely will do well everywhere, because generic is what rules the charts nowadays, if you exclude AWESOME Adele), and I reckon is a nice effort (nowhere near as good as the real rock song Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall, of course, but still a sweet happy pop urban song), I won’t buy the song until The ~~Fuckery~~ Voice ends, no matter if technically the song will be available TOMORROW from iTunes (this breaks a LONG habit, where I would buy ANYTHING off from any of Maroon 5 guys even before listening to the thing, JUST because they’d deserve… but now my fanship has way reduced, due to the musical crime Adam did when he sold his artistry out to a reality tv show… sorry, this is not amendable for me, and it never will. That super status is forever lost in my book, and it won’t come back, because I can’t really take him any seriously anymore, no matter his unmistakable talent and his beautiful voice…):

But I mean… confront the above (cute, I admit it) song with a real rock song full of guitars and real musical play, and with WAY better substance, then draw your conclusion on why I feel so let down about somebody after all:

I mean… there’s NO comparison regarding real artistry quality between these two tracks right?

It doesn’t mean Stereo Hearts won’t succeed (I think it will, and I hope it will because Adam NEEDS a hit after all) but have you looked what is in the chart these days? Kesha? Katy Perry? Taio Cruz? PITBULL???? If that’s what people buy, let me be with the music people DON’T buy, all way long (even if I am sure ETIAW will be bought a LOT everywhere, because it’s just too much of a good song anyway).

Oh well… a least so far Adam didn’t dare to ruin completely his credibility and duet with Justin Bieber or a Jonas Brother… but the way he’s now, I won’t be surprised when he would (ah, the good times when duets were with REAL people like Alicia Keys are forever gone, aren’t they?… what a shame…).

Anyway, back to the gift I got sent.

My Chinese partners sent me this as a present this morning ( they wanted to be kind after I served them with boat rides and Italian Sea last month… cute).

Hands All Over ASIAN Tour Edition, which is a CD + DVD.

I have to wait a while more. But thank you 😉

They also sent me a bid guitar. That I will immediately give to Karim.

Way to keep me cringe over what has gone that won’t return (namely the pure unaffected joy of having special M5 items, when I was proud of them…).

Lucky me, the mail was cute today though most especially because Radiohead FULL package for The King Of Limbs arrived (that’s what I call music…) ;).

That saved me someway.

And kept the mood just as perfect as it can get.

Now we just need a QUORUM.

Do it, Italy.

Do it.

I trust you 😉

Love, Miss Z. 🙂

Musical June with Coldplay overload starts in 3…2…1…

Good morning Universe!!!

This is it: your very happy Miss Z. is starting to feel quite dizzy because well… in two months I am gonna marry in Japan and preparations for that are swirling a notch up every day?

Today is June 6.

I marry on August 6. I can’t honestly wait…

Before I forgot… My hat off to Sara Bareilles for her awesome efforts in Japan:

Sara Bareilles is AWESOME

This is actually my last working month and I have tried (and I will still try) my best to focus.

Even though it seems so many happy events get in the way to prevent me from being too much awake, like the celebrations for Milano’s new Mayor the past Monday:

I still smile like an idiot about this because finally my Country has raised up and sent a powerful message to THE CRIMINAL Berlusconi who’s keepin it under tutelage by brainwashing its citizens with the lamest, fakest, more repulsing tricks.

From East to West, North to South the only message loud and clear given out from Administrative Elections was ONLY this one:

BERLUSCONI WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE!!!

You know how embarrassed for my Country I am out of all these years of him ruling us.

Our entire story is devoted to allow not good people to play “the Saviour” role but this with him is just too much.

He bended the Law at his discretion and WE allowed him so.

I can’t take it, I never could and I never will.

I hate to see how irresponsible for anything he wants to be and how unresponsive for way too long Italy has been at his damaging power.

But now THE YOUTH has had enough and I am proud of this.

SO PROUD.

Look, I’m not an extremist of the Left: I am somebody with sure Progressive views, I can’t stand racism or narrow-minded people who let fears of the differences exhaust their positive outlook at the openness of the world , but I want the Law to be respected, I have the strongest work ethic, I am not there to see anything even remotely anarchic takin anything of my Country out, and I despise Communism as any other type of tyranny (though Nazism will forever be worse than anything else, because its plan was first and foremost to destroy and to commit genocide).

And that’s why I am happy about these results.

The people who like me are repulsed by Berlusconi aren’t coming out from Social Centers and do not live raising fists and chanting all day long.

We are hard-workers with great skills, in my case pretty wealthy, we love art and fashion and traveling and we LOVE CULTURE and EDUCATION and never for a single day in our lives we would fall under the charm of a tv-seller with the culture of a caveman who says the same stale FAKE things from 1994.

Let’s hope THIS generation of young people can send this poisoning criminal where he belongs: in JAIL, or anyway NEVER in a public office again.

He has ruined this beautiful Country (with the sad collaboration of too many blinds and lazy italians) for way, way, WAY too long.

Let the downfall of the awfulness he represents START.

Awww 🙂

And if you wonder how can a Milanist like me despise Milan’s owner so bad, that’s not an issue: I would prefer Milan to be under ANYONE ELSE’s grab.

Really.

18th and counting!

I cringe everytime he uses Milan to his paving nasty plans.

Because that’s what he has always done: USING Milan, and no matter if we won under him… he won way, way more for himself than he made us win through him.

(PS: it was great to celebrate Milan along Dolce and Gabbana, btw…it was a day very special to paint best my heart in red and black again!)

In the past 60 days I have contributed (MAJORLY) to realize two of the biggest deals our pharmacy and researching company has ever inked; I have tried everything to succeed, and the last idea of taking our American and Chinese partners experiencing the beauty of Southern Italian Sea last May (with the original site location changed quickly) was surely one of the brightest I ever had.

It was cool to stay in my boat… even though the fact Karim arrived after me and left way before (his own stuff to do, of course… I love when he has an agenda he can’t ditch!) left me sexless way too much (and I can’t ever be fine sexless).

We found a way to celebrate and have LOTS of lovely role plays the weekend after clubbing on the Lake Garda with the whole crew.

I was allowed to play people REALLY bad (I am a bad bad bad girl) and that turned out to be a wonderful source of sexual rawness.

I am a master exercising power onto men: Karim loves to witness that; I never know enough if it’s because he knows now he can stop me from crossing the borderline (if he likes to), or if it’s because he knows I never had better sex than the one he keeps gifting me with (and you know… I have a pretty HUGE list of people of skill there that I slept with, chewed and spat out, and left with broken bones/hearts…).

The icy on cake that day was that actually I was so successful in my hunting for the perfect person to be played and tricked that night that I got offered by two lesbians too .

And well… that for me is always almost MORE flattering than catch men’s desires.

Men are way easier to intrigue and please than women. Men are simpler. It’s like the difference that passes between having a dog following you – it’s a no brainer, dogs can’t avoid to – or having cats willing to please and follow you – that is only a cat’s choice, their imprinting is dominant, unlike canine’s –.

To have females lust after me is like conquering a cat’s devotion, while when it happens with men, is a regular natural reaction, most like a dog can’t avoid to obey to his owner.

So, those two stunningly looking Dutch beauties went up catching me and from their Vip area to our own one they tried hard, OH! so very hard to bring me along at their suite in Sirmione.

Too bad I really don’t see the point in being tasting the lesbian world (beside a dream to see Natalia Vodianova or Michelle Pfeiffer naked maybe, because to me they are the description of females beauty), because in that case the threesome (or foursome) could have been really nice for Karim to appreciate.

wonderfulness from Salento, May 2011

Sorry honey: I like only men.

But you know I wouldn’t get jealous of you in any case. Save the option for your bachelor party 😉 I am anyway sure nobody could come nowhere as near as me when it’s about sexual skills 😉 Try freely anything else.

My confidence there is border-less 😉

(P.S.: if you’re prudes, this is not your place to read over. I don’t care what you may think like… my life is mine and my only principle is BEING TRUE AND HONEST AND REAL. Say always what you think and feel, so that if people stay with you, they stay WITH YOU and not with a person they think you may be, that you are not . Sex is the greatest thing in life. Sex and Love to go hand in hand have to mutually acknowledge one another in total openness and realism. Sexual desires are the most powerful of engines to ANY long lasting love. If sexual desire fades, soon or later love will fade too. The concept of possession is nowhere as important or working as the willing of belonging, which is almost the opposite of wanting to possess’ anyone. Jealousy is a cover up for insecurity about oneself, not the other one. Every woman and every man true to their own sexuality will always want to experience sex in many ways. FACTS).

Let me take one small moment to manifest my thoughts about the new Lakers coach, Mike Brown.

I ma NOT really down with him, but we will see and I have to be confident my Lakers are doing the right thing with him.

I am fascinated with the fact Ettore Messina could be his assistant coach (and it seems very much confirmed).

This is the whole of his press conference, courtesy of the great Mark Medina from LA Times Lakers Blog

Let's see how it ends. We just gotta wait, see and WIN, Mike. WIN.

Messina was one of the “Not Milano BBall Coaches” I have always admired, so it’d be good to follow him as a fan of Laker Nation.

But there’s a thing that especially makes me uncomfortable about Mike Brown with us, though…

It certainly wasn’t right to NOT tell Kobe before about him.

I agree wholeheartedly with Mark Medina (as it often happens) about it:

I am very much agreeing also with Kareem Abdul Jabbar about the idiocity (already goin on, as the Meat will surely win their damn ring now…) that Bronzey is the best in the game (nor now, and certainly never ever in any “HOF” debate…).

Good Lord… I will have a hard time suffering this Heat ring (they are so lucky, Dirk got even injured in the Finals… GRRRR).

But I am way too happy these days to fuse out.

So… whatever, MEAT. You get this ring out of others’ collapses. Treasure it, because it won’t ever repeat: take notice, Bronzey (and go licking Dwayne Wade‘s ass because that’s the only reason you will finally embellish your finger for….)

My very happy mood translates also in my sweet molding heart (NOT… I am not like that I know… but it did sound good? Did it matched my previously sex-overloaded tirade? No? Lol… ;)) acknowledging for once a good thing again about Adam (the one that shouldn’t be mentioned until The Voice ~~of Fuckery~~ still going on… even though, as that thing has been already renewed, I risk to never speak again of him if I don’t start to avoid thinkin he does… that thing – convoluted thoughts comin off from my still unaccepting soul. My soul will never accept that he took part in a reality show. *sigh*).

Okay…

When we were at Garda Lake, on Sunday May 29th, we were breakfasting at the cafe’ (we were 16: my house is big BUT I don’t have 16 milk bowls, sorry ;)) and we were checking our phones.

At a certain point, reading my Twitter timeline, I stumbled upon the sweetest ever message Adam gave out to Anne on twitter.

And even I, I admit, even if I am pissed with him about that thing, well I couldn’t avoid to melt.

He was at Prince Forum gig in Los Angeles (May 28th for them) and he totally LIVES for Prince…. but as Anne couldn’t be with him for working matters, he said this:

Damn you, Levine!!!

You and your adorable sweet lovingly heart.

Grrr.

When you turn THAT sweet, I forget even about your reality show musical crime.

That was so sweet, I had to openly say something over twitter (I was almost tempted to listen to a Maroon 5 song before that thing ends, but I held on: my principles for God’s sake survived the cuteness of him. I am happy with myself ;))

how could anybody refuse such a sweet thing? Not even I could.

Anne, in Paris for a working duty (that again involves an Italian photographer and I HOPE HOPE HOPE a GQ or Vogue Italian spread… crosssing all fingers), replied at her man’s love in the cutest way as well :

Aren't they just awesome for one another?

I can’t help.

I could never ever escape the magic that these two sparkle together.

I am a sucker for them since February 2010 (this whole blog testifies it) and I can’t wait for when they will mix their perfect genes together and gift the world with a new generation of handsomely looking babies.

Seriously… this is a collage made with two super recent pictures of them both: Adam, on Memorial Day 2011 at his place, and Anne, a bunch of days prior of that, in Gran Canaria, shooting for we don’t know yet what:

Everything I wanted to say about this stays in the photo. Adam Levine and Anne V together are PERFECTION.

The super hot couple will always be a blessed sight for me.

No matter what.

It’s also not a problem that YET the two aren’t married nor engaged (poor Anne had to rectify it because as she tweeted she was ready to fly from Paris to Venice on June 1st, to spend “hubby time” with her beau, she probably attired tons of stupid hate from stupid rabid Adam’s fans… get a grip, idiots: Adam will never be YOURS… and the day he will decide to finally settle down with somebody – and he must approach that at 32?-, it better be with Anne, because she’s awesome and totally perfect for him…): they shine together and are THE PERFECT couple, celebrity one or not:

Most awesome couple (beside Karim and I, obviously), Adam Levine and Anne V strutting their hotness in Venice, Italy, June 1st 2011. Awww.

They charm me EXACTLY together, even more than I have ever been charmed by Adam alone (and that’s to say SOMETHING, indeed).

the lovely Anne V

Anne V can make me forget the fact Adam let me so down when he decided to “land his talent to The Voice ~~of Fuckery~~” (any LeBronze’s pun IS intended, because you know how I don’t like Bronzey, exactly because he was given THE BEST of talent skills, but he never does his very best and he never fully commit to play hard to perfect them and be REALLY the best – in the end, I can’t stand underperforming people…).

Anyway, for a while more you will have to rely to Margherita and Serena for having your dose of Maroon 5.

I still striking on them until that thing won’t end.

And as it will reprise (sigh… already at the start of 2012? This cuts my flesh deep under and rips it out… *bleachhhh*), I will get back on strike again.

I love music too much to accept a reality show in ANY of my music digs, sorry.

Maroon 5 and Adam Levine are beauty of music to me… but NOT when they mix with such garbage stuff: I let retards like retarded things, and there is NEVER a possibility that the true art form of REAL good music or performance can EVER have a single thing to share with pre-fabricated stupid reality tv shows, all built up for low-standard-aiming masses.

Would Thom Yorke, Bruce Springsteen, Kurt Cobain, Freddie Mercury… John Lennon… and you go on with that… would they EVER had the dirty thought of accepting be part of such unforgivable sham EVER cross their minds (let alone have them sign onto the contract for it)?

NEVER.

Adam Levine and Anne V spotted by fans in Venice, Italy, on June 2nd 2011

And those are my type of artists: there is where I did ALWAYS hope and believe Adam could and should have aimed at.

Fuck…Even more contemporary artists, such as my nerdy genius Chris Martin, or Matthew Bellamy… surely never Noel Gallagher, or Lenny Kravitz… darn they would NEVER touch a role in reality shows with a long 50 inches pole: and in this sorry, all them will always from now on stand a notch up to Adam (while before I always considered Adam the type of multi-talented artist who could have eventually even SURPASSED them all).

FOREVER.

What Adam did downsized him forever as an artist to me.

I still love him, his huge talent, his amazing perfect voice, and I will always be charmed by his looks forever but after what he did, he will never anymore be someone I will worship for the artistry of music, like I used to do for so many, many years, FIRST & FOREMOST.

Doesn’t mean I won’t love his music: I probably always will.

I just stopped think he’s up there with the “Pure artists” club in my book of “perfect likings”.

He’s a fantabulously talented individual with an unique voice and a heck of amazing talent, and he has one of the most special and funny personalities you will ever come across, but that choice he made proved him also like somebody whom is too lazy to battle only with that set of God-given skills the perks of fame and show-biz: he prefers to rely to mere popularity tanks, whenever is it possible: because it’s easier, immediately rewarding, and more ego-pleasing probably.

Maroon 5 at Ca's Foscari private Biennale Party, Venice, ITALY, 2 June 2011 - 1 -

His (respectable, but not approachable for me) choice.

It doesn’t affect his talent; but it DOES affect his status as an artist and his reputation among “serious” ones, surely.

And among brackets… I don’t really think he cares about being taken as a too much of a serious artist: probably it was too much of a responsibility for him and he’s somehow happy about how, with his very commercial tv choice, he erased the need of being taken “seriously” by music critics anymore.

He likes to not think of himself as “all that”, so he’s fine with people screaming at him just “You’re HOT!” and buying his stuff, regardless of any of competency skills about the true appreciation of true music those type of folks (mostly overweight chicks from 18 to 45) can offer in the music debate.

I’m now sure of that: and for me that is a huge darn disappointment, but ehi, not everybody gotta die for art, right?

He doesn’t, and similarly the wide majority of his fans doesn’t seem to, either (and that will never be a good thing for Maroon 5, face it: numbers almost never equals quality, when it comes to music artistry).

Maroon 5 at Ca's Foscari private Biennale Party, Venice, ITALY, 2 June 2011 - 2-

Too bad because his talent was by far enough to let him be a GREAT one, without any of the tricks he has decided to let himself go for, and in the long run vanish along with.

I mean, at The Venice Event (the one that made Maroon5 fly from los Angeles to Venice for two days, to be the musical entertainment at the private party organized at Ca’ Foscari, which included amazing people like Paolo Conte, and the Black Queen Reigning Beauty herself Naomi Campbell) they were invited and chosen because they are DAMN CLASS, but I can’t see this going on that much longer when their leader preaches from a giant revolving chairs like he’s Doctor Spock turned musical guru…

End of the story, anyway… If any of you likes The Voice ~~of Fuckery~~ (many of my friends LOVE the show, and they all are very happy when I let them find the whole episodes merely two hours after they air in the US) it’s definitely your gain, right?

Can’t change my perspective there though, so “the strike” will be the only apt solution for times when “garbage” will risk to affect “beauty”in my very demanding eyes (and ears).

It’s like… a vaccine.

Or an induced coma to preserve true life.

You choose the metaphor you like best 😉

But I ain’t mad at any of Adam’s choices: his life and career are of course a deliberate pattern he only chooses how to shape like; I just can’t fake feelings and if something ain’t at all my taste, I won’t ever claim it is.

But let me close peacefully: this is a collage out from Dasha Zukova‘s party at Ca’ Foscari in Venice, where you see FINALLY Adam avoiding to dress like a brat and gently and elegantly (never as elegantly as Jimmy V though) pose aside gloriously beautiful Anne:

Adam Levine, Anne V and James Valentine party at Ca's Foscari in Venice Biennale - Russian Pavilion - 2nd June 2011

Now let me post two small things about Anne (the fact I am not uploading about her is because when I’d do it I would TOO easily fall in the charm and risk to write way too much about Adam then… and it’s bad because she is doing TONS of great stuff fashion-wise these days, and she would deserve space…).

Anne not only has shot campaign incoming for Dylan & George denim campaign, but (way more important and interesting) she will be the face along handsome Gabriel Aubry (Adam, be careful 😉 kidding…) of True Religion‘s new brand campaign (awwww: she’s dominating the jeans field, if you add Pepe to these!).

But there is some major make-up campaign allegedly looming ahead (Go Anne, Go!!!!) and then there is the new Chanel Chance perfume ad, 10 years after her debut in the fashion industry, with the first version of the same scent.

And the first version (look how adorable she always has been!):

You deserve all success, sweet Russian Fairy 🙂

And I really, really hope soon you will add to your achievement list a beautiful family.

I loved when you said back months ago that you were looking forward to that a lot.

Another small time of beauty (involving families… see the link and connection? ;)) was when Karim’s parents joined us for past week celebration of 2nd June (Italian National Republic Holiday).

My sweet Karim's love gift on June 1st, in Florence. Awww.

Those were four days between Tuscany and Umbria which were so lovely and perfect under every sight.

Too bad in Florence we didn’t get a chance to cross Jersey Shore’s JERKS and serve them as they’d deserve for their lameness against humanity, but hey, you can’t have it all?

We had to waste the chance of letting K’s family’s bodyguards (sadly, we had to endure that again… but I’m getting used to their “company”) serve those retards with some “good care”.

Weather also wasn’t that hip, but still… who cares when you are drowned into the greatest love with your fiancé and your families?

Exactly 😉

We got that somehow Karim’s family would like a Tuscany marriage but sorry… no way.

Kyoto is.

Stop trying 😉

In Florence the first night out dining with our families, we had a chunk of buzz about Shaquille O’Neal‘s retirement announcement.

Wow… the whole place started to speak as Italian news on tv (Restaurant had giants walla screens all around) were showing images of the Former Great Player.

My reaction was… WHATEVER.

I stopped trusting, liking and feel for him as soon as he started being an ass to my Lakers.

I reckon his FORMER greatness.

I am very cold about retiring his jersey at Staples Center, even though I can see why it someway MUST be done.

But I just can’t forgive (you know I am not a forgiver at all).

Everytime I look at him now, I can’t separate from anything his mouthful hatred against all things Lakers for almost a decade after he made us (undeniably) GREAT.

So… farewell, Shaq:

I’d rather keep talking about the beautiful past weekend in beautiful Countryside gems than you, sir.

It was amazing spending quality time for ourselves in beautiful places and also carry our families along.

I’m always charmed and at ease with K’s folks.

the amazingness of Italy

They’re so awesome to talk with; so elegant without being affected… so real and so much a true family (which is rare among those of their status, and even rarest when it comes to families who run great companies and are also involved in Politics… darn t was incredible when they brought us to an AGRITOURISM and we past the day pickin up black cherries from trees. THEY’RE FRIGGING BILLIONAIRES!!!! And they came up with the idea of staying in the Countryside and be all farmers…. and looked like they had NO PROBLEM whatsoever about it. Now THAT is really, really, REALLY cool!!!).

We had a blast together: we all get along so well, and it’s all but given, especially coming from different Countries as we do (though, to be fair: my family and I have lived in multiple Countries… K’s family OF COURSE did as well all of their lives, given the headfamily working duties 😉 so that’s actually pretty natural for all of us to feel at ease with foreign people, whom we don’t ever perceive as foreign after all…).

They’re very respecteful of everything: but at the same time very honest and open to never let you have second guesses at their words: what they speak, it’s definitely the truth they see, and so you can decide if you can get accustomed, or not.

They are honest and they obviously ask that same honesty to people around them.

I approve of that: is my way of life as well.

They really loved Assisi a lot: they went there previously and so did me and my folks (still always amazing to stay there!).

But yep… my super holiday approaches, marriage approaches… everything is falling into its spaces.

In fact, I am leaving towards Heineken Jammin Festival in two days (I get back my two days of lost freedom I had to spent in that Southern Italian sea, you see ;)) because June, albeit NOT yet a month of holiday, will anyway see me JAMMIN’ & SHUFFLIN’ a lot!!!

And yes, I am all pumped because after Heineken Festival it’s gonna be GLASTONBURY, bitchessssss!!!!!

Both events have the highlight in catching again ADORED CHRIS MARTIN and Coldplay ;).

Can't waittttt 😉

Awwwwww.

And of course the boys have released new music, after teasing for a few days.

Enjoy the beauty that is Every Teardrop Is A waterfall ( no need to mention that while we were enjoying amazing countryside specs, I immediately downloaded the song from iTunes and the first day alone I listened to it 18 times… LOVE its cheerful, happy, celebratory vibe and it will surely be a smash!!!):

Can’t wait to re-catch my four musical babies live!!! It’s gonna be a blast, they’re so amazing live, everything gets a singalong treatment and they just command the stage… in every possible way!!!).

Coldplay live are just everything a gig should be: rocking singalongs for never less HUNDRED THOUSANDS of people, and a full 12 years of decade remixed and reworked like a giant massive powerful jukebox 🙂

found Anne V in Repubblica Venerdi summer glasses feature. LV rules 😉

And you know, I love it 😉

Plus I can’t wait to hear Liam Gallagher‘s snarling again from Heineken festival stage, too (Beady Eye there!!)…

And Fabri Fibra!!! Whooo!!!

Then there will be Cesare Cremonini and I pretty love his singing live…

There will be Negramaro…

Yep, it’s gonna be really really good this incoming long weekend, and after that we will stay a bit in Venice and enjoy Biennale parties too (cos yep, we can ;)).

I’m still undecided if we want to move boat along, or just stay as per usual at Danieli.

Dunno.

We’ll see (Karim has a pass anyway… but we have great memories of Venice together from last year, and it all involved HIS parental friends’ HUGE boat rocking…so mmmh… it’s like we long for a boat anyway ;)).

I expect wonderfulness coming off from Veneto times, and most especially Glasto: hopefully weather won’t be much of a bitch but who cares… music happenings alongside my crew, best friends and my amazing fiance is something that can carry sun inside my soul, no matter if rays from our star shine or not for real.

It’s gonna SO rock.

Catch you after all the gig-banging.

And when I’ll catch you, I’ll be on my way down the aisle… or something 😉

AWWWWW 😉

Your very shining Miss Z. 🙂

Today is the 150 birthday of our beloved (and so very trashed by her own governants/citizens) Italy.

This whole happy recurrence has of course been object of controversy in my Country (it shows well how low we’ve stepped… but I’m positive we can go even lower… *sigh*).

Karim and I are instead overjoyed and we are gonna spend the entirety of the day together in Museums, Galleries, then being by ourselves at home while reading about history, Civil Rights and CONSTITUTION (yeah, that thing some criminal ruling us is trying to make paper cut for wiping ~~his ass… his face~~ it’s the same, so his ass works…).

I’m very happy Karim feels home here; it will be amazing for us to have double citizenship, because for us the belonging to a place we actually root for is a major bond linkage.

Today is not only Italy’s birthday (and Billy Corgan‘s too… you know how I adore the Smashing Pumpkins do you?); it would have been also the birthday of awesome Rudolph Nureyev, and in fact just the other day K&I went to Teatro Smeraldo in Milan to enjoy a magnificent night out celebrating the legacy of the one and only King of Ballet.

Please, enjoy ballet at his peak:

These days of ours though are still hard… because all that is happening in Japan deeply wounds us.

We constantly follow news on tv; my time in Berlin (beside a wonderful evening out with the new partners in one of the coolest restaurants in the world) has been spent Skyping while watching reports from Honshu.

We are yet unable to get passes for my Birthday trip… it seems hard to enjoy Hanami this year over Nihon but even if the celebrations wouldn’t be there… now and even more NOW I wanna get there to see and possibly help the Country…

I so bleed for my Japan.

And Karim does the same.

Before you wonder: NO WAY we change location for the marriage.

Don’t even kid.

Our marriage is sacred and it’s gonna be a Japanese Time.

End of the debate.

Talkin about marriage, and linkin it with birthdays… YES.

I know.

I promised that on the eve of Adam and Anne’s birthdays (which are tomorrow, March 18th, and the day after tomorrow, March 19th) I would have uploaded my most beautiful Homage Video yet, which coincidentally is also Karim and I marriage song.

STUTTER.

Yessir.

And well… given the happy recurrences (and the fact the video Meli – and K – helped me made is glorious), this post hosts a little truce in my temporary dislike of Mr. Adam Levine (the temporary dislike, you do know, runs and will run until The Voice ~~Of Fuckery~~ will still a thing), which allows me to do a little twisting of small updates strictly related on the birthday boy and his gorgeous gal (whom I still love daily and utterly. Anne has no part in my temporary dislikes… I still heart her 110% and continuously).

Adorable Anne V Collage

Anne actually makes me feeling better towards Adam these days, you know.

In fact, during her time in Los Angeles this month, her tweets were the only ones that were making me liking him like I used to that fair a bit still.

She has that much power, yep.

Anyway, a promise is a promise so… enjoy STUTTER (you can also catch it from my YouTube page of course) :

Error

This video doesn’t exist

I don’t know if this year the two lovebirds will be able to spend again their birthday weekend together, because just hours ago Anne had to fly back from Los Angeles to New York (she was missing from there for a whole month, so it was time), and Adam has to stay in LA for … THAT THING THAT I WON’T MENTION.

But they sure had a great time together in the past ten days, as you can see here:

Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna enjoy a Laker night out on March 14th 2011

The couple spent a huge amount of time together… but I don’t wanna take ages in detailing it – this is a TRUCE post, not a PEACE post, after all – then you know what?

For all your dose of Maroon 5 news (I know many come here for that), I am kind enough to link the work of my friends Margherita and Serena, who will fill my reluctant shoes for the time The Voice ~~Of Fuckery~~ will be a thing in getting you served with band’s updates.

I can’t personally like ANY of it, and I still bummed like many others about what that choice forced the band to do.

I am also trying to read the less I can of their twitters, unless they are not news about valuable things like live dates, new music available, and similar things that DEFINE a real band… (I swear I am trying to not write bitterly, but it’s hard… that is why I have decided to not update Maroon 5 related news until I keep being let down by Adam’s choices: exactly because I am unable to put a brake on my running brain, and shut it down to avoid explaining how his actions make me feel disappointed in him).

Anyway, my friends have done a pretty nice job covering my unwilling gap so, enjoy:

Maroon 5 March 2011 Updates by Margherita and Serena (Not All Who Wander Are Lost blog).

The good news (the bad one is that just yesterday the Voice ~~of Fuckery~~ actually started taping, and ~~our~~ YOUR bad boy with angel face is so stepping up his fame-chasing antics he even uses to publish promoted tweets – REALLY???? – which I am guessing are actually paid by the producers of the Fuckery Show, to be honest) is that Maroon 5 RESCHEDULED their canceled dates in Europe for November and December and I bought STRAIGHT not only the rescheduled Milan date…

I also bought Rome, Padova and… BOTH Saint Petersburg and Moscow.

Think that just the day before their revamped Italian stint starts, I will be at La Scala for its première.

Adam Levine in Amsterdam. Getting a new tat & playing live.

Music all the way.

The best way to get ready for anything…

And in fact as Maroon 5 are shaping up some round in America in festivals & fairs, even though yet we don’t know if we are free, Karim and I have asked Charisse to buy for us too the attendance to BOTH dates at Ravinia Festival in between June and July.

Just to be sure… 😉

Yes… I still adore Maroon 5 music.

Especially when it’s LIVE.

And it’s JUST because I love so much their music, that I can’t stand Maroon 5 had to stop touring to please only the decision of one of their members (okay, it’s the main member… but that doesn’t justify the move at all…).

In Paris (yep, I ended attending the concert actually…) the guys were PURELY awesome; Sara rocked… but nothing can touch Adam and the guys playing live and in fact the most of Sara’s shining came when she joined the band for a wonderful rendition of Out of Goodbyes (and you know I am NOT keen on the song either… so imagine how beautiful it was live if even I fell under its charm).

Yes… Paris gig was simply a gem.

Really.

Maroon 5 and Adam Levine in Paris, March 2011.

Oh, how hard is to dislike somebody so talented…

But in the end, my dislike is huge at the moment JUST because he’s SO talented.

I don’t get, I still don’t, why the heck he decided to stop relying on his true skill for doing some lame tv reality.

My whole blood boils if I think about it.

To tame me, somebody (you will be surprised… that somebody was actually Karim) sent me this ARTICLE, that shows…erm… shape details of Adam’s assets.

Karim sent me those to remind me how in the end I will still be charmed by Adam, no matter what… but think that I am so upset by him still that not even his hotness wins me these days.

If I see his body, and think of his voice, and remind myself of his many blessing talents… and THEN I recall he sold it all on THE Fuckery… I can’t help.

I still boil over.

But ehi… this post is a truce post, I said it and I maintain it so enjoy Adam Levine’s bulge details.

And some awesome yoga posture of his that I keep lust over (Karim knows and he keeps making fun of me about it… ;)):

Pretty sure Anne V tucked him into in those naked Cosmo pictures... *yeah* 😉

This part of my upload of course falls under the “Gifts” part of the title…

LOL.

If your style in visual gifts though is less “physical” and more regularly oriented, then enjoy this other series of way more tamed shots:

Mega Gift Adam Levine collage

What can I say… that he’s gorgeous is under everybody’s eyes.

*sigh*.

But I have decided I don’t wanna close the post with him.

So I will leave the final spotlight to Anne, because she just makes me happier than he does these times.

Enjoy shining Russian Fairy in her Victoria’s Secret 2011 campaign:

Anne V for Victorias Secrets PINK 2011

And also this little patchwork video I made with her tv ad campaign shot for H&M with Freja, for the brand Spring Summer 2011 collection:

Error

This video doesn’t exist

I close the update with a surprising thank you to Inter (yes, you’ve read correctly) for having kept Italy in Champions League (wish Milan had been able to do the same), because it’s fair in the day of Italy’s birthday to put aside even sporty rivarly to honor just the Country sporty pride.

Then I will also say that Lakers are starting to shape up for playoffs.

I hope the tests that I am undergoing for finding the best therapy to fight my Labyrinthitis tendency will allow me to wake up at nights at least during playoffs.

Reruns of games are nice… but the true fan can’t content him/herself with merely those.

I need the thrill of live stuff.

And so…

Happy Birthday, Italy!

Happy Birthday Adam and Anne!

Happy life everyone.

And you, you my dearest… Hold On, my adored Japan.

Catch you soon again, your never tamed Miss Z. out in Milan to celebrate her Country with PRIDE 😉

Gettin used to monthly updates (from LA with Love)

Hola!

19 hours after the takin off from Malpensa...

I’m around packing and unpacking and repacking for a very intense schedule, folks… and since it has been one month without updates, I thought about givin you some.

I’m in a very dreamy place as I am writing this… I have a breathtaking view in front of me and I am relaxing with my man after hours of meetings and professionally mattering dinners out.

I am at a very wonderful place right now… you will see at the end of the post ;).

I am actually patching something like… erm… 450 links into this one update, as I am traveling Milan > Los Angeles > New York > Paris (and then it will be Paris > Milan > Berlin > DEATH BED I guess ;)…).

Get used to these very sporadic dates with me in this fashion, because life is just too full for me to have more time to ponder about blogging.

Twitter has taken over as my favorite way to communicate thoughts around: it’s faster, less invasive, immediate and carrying the phone around everytime makes it a quickie that fits my fast life pacing way better than blogging.

It’s just the way it is 😉

I have been recovering quite decently from Labyrinthitis (see previous post), even though I still a bit dizzy at times.

Cuteness female...

Before taking off to Los Angeles (via London) I had finally the permission from doctors to ride my Sweet Swifty again (well, I didn’t really ride him… I mounted him for some dressage… the both of us needed some “contact” between us after almost two months parted and even if that isn’t our favorite thing to do together, believe me it was clear my lovely horse was finally ecstatic I was on him again).

I also had a wonderful Carnival party in Milan just the other Tuesday: Sami decided to do her best and allow Karim and I to not miss the bash (as we are all over the world in the main festivities… we will have to also attempt a strange version of Ambrosian Carnival in between Milan and Berlin moves…).

I also probably chose my marriage dress.

I said “probably”.

I completed my 8th fitting and out of 8 stylists I have one dress that I have fallen in love with.

As I return home from the other side of the world I will have the final say.

The stop in New York with our wedding planner will furtherly drive me there, I guess.

Cuteness male 😉

Though you know… all these trips are actually for working meetings mainly (but I always manage to fit in more things,especially after at the end of January it was Fede the one flying to New York to substitute me in the originary planned first partner meeting of 2011…).

While in Los Angeles Karim had actually been invited to some of the gazillions luxurious super parties that are in town for the Academy Awards… but he denied all of them because in the small free times that we have out from working commitments we like to live the quieter side of the City of Angels, staying in our surroundings, getting accustomed to our house (which we sooooooo love) and share time with just one another.

Then, Mash is in Europe for the Weeks of Fashion in the main cities and we have no chances for threesomes this time (okay, at the aforementioned parties sure that could have been an option but we don’t like cokeheads and those parties LIVE up and on on cocaine… so no thanx ;))

Vintage gig 2007

The best part of the Oscars time is that we will get to get off from LA to NY takin off from LAX when NOBODY will leave the town… that will make our internal USA move way more pleasant 😉 (yes, I consider lots of famous people absolutely insufferable so I actually hate when it happens that we find them in first class… mainly because the wide majority of them are ALL but first class people in the end ;))

But okay… let’s be a bit more clear in this update… tracking back from last month or something 😉

Not that I have actually done that much myself, because for a good cut I had to be struck at home battling the development of “Laby”; I thank the Skies that I have the cutest friends, the most awesome family and the best boyfriend and fiancé in the world because without their care and support I would have really become gloomy.

I hated being dependent and I hated to not be able to be me; now it’s better (of course, I’m even traveling…) but I still unable to swim, do yoga, and do all my regular things so there’s space to improve yet.

I also am very blessed to have Carlo now, who’s the best personal assistant a human could ask for.

LOVE YOU ALL 🙂

One of the greatest news of the past weeks is that I WILL FINALLY SEE THE HANAMI IN JAPAN:

Yes, we will go there for my birthday as we have also to check the in-location places our wedding planner has selected for the marriage itself.

NO NEED TO SAY I AM OVER THE MOON!!!!

Spending Sunday Morning in LA: No Lakers on tv. We stroll around 😉

Talkin about trips, we also managed to have a lovely Valentine Day’s private time, unexpected, and awesome, in beautiful France again.

Nothing like Paris… we have rented a house we are just about to use again in a few days from now when we will fly from New York to Paris: first for Maroon5 gig and then for more working commitments (both of Kand myself).

I must admit these hectic times, my Laby stumbling, the fierce chaos of my life trying to keep pacing with the marriage organization, the pr duties, Karim and I needs for time quietly together, the way we cannot ever neglect our amazing families and friends, forced me in many ways to give up on things I do love, like for instance watching Lakers games at night (I am forbidden by doctors: I have to sleep at least 6-7 hours a night) and therefore also writing in the Lakers Blog has been cut (not the reading though), even though some special events, like honoring phred, had to be done anyway ;).

I also gotta have a moment of pride still related with Laker Nation Fandom…

Because when Adam talks about Lakers, Lakers listen and sometimes they retweet him: of course that prompts a double enthusiastic response from me, that got acknowledged by… GOSH!!!!

Amazing @Lakers THEMSELVES, who…

So, The Lakers sent me a Direct Message on Twitter... 😉 *Me #FTW* 😉

YEP… They sent me a direct message.

That made me giggle (okay, it’s idiotic but I reacted so 😉 what can I do… ;))

The one and only Kobe Bean Bryant ALL Star MVP. For the 4th time 😉

We are pondering about some Laker-Land moment… we have been on such a roller coaster about our Purple and Gold, but we keep rooting, always and insistently, because our blood PULSES in Lakers colors and we just couldn’t be anything less than fanatics about them.

Some things put us in a great orientation (the All Star Game, the Boston Game, The Portland Game…) but some other things just don’t ring true…

STILL.

We just gotta hope playoffs see us blossom- and we gotta trust the one and only Black Mamba. ALWAYS.

The way the latest trades have shaped the NBA is tricky in my opinion and not in a good way for us.

I don’t like (unlike for instance Adam) the way the East seemed to get tougher: I strongly believe the best the competition is in the League of belonging, the toughest and most focused a team becomes; plus you may imagine how disgusted I am about the way DARN KNICKS TREATED MY DANY.

Homeboy got betrayed.

From now on, think of that, my list of dislikes about teams goes this way: 1) Miami; 2) New York; 3) Boston.

That’s it.

My very productive time in Los Angeles.

It’s also too bad while in Los Angeles we missed a good chance to see the GOOD version of the Lakers (double disappointment because Anne was there too with Gene and Noah… getting sweetly excited and as funny as ever…), because these some as 56 hours in LA are only dedicated to work for me (meetings on Friday, representative dinner on Friday, Meetings on Saturday, representative meet and greet on Saturday – when everybody not working would be partying for pre-Oscars…- then on Sunday we are chosing to rest and… to have a special surprise then takin off to New York at evening.

People are calling us insane for givin up the BIG “W” party (Karim’s family… how to put it in… is “friendly” of them brothers…) but we couldn’t care less: we went (I WENT) in LA this time for my business, and sorry, when it’s about focusing on serious things, the party girl in me disappears in front of the “I’m gonna become a millionaire on my own” one ;).

Without regrets at ALL.:)

But ehi, at least Lakers do look better now even though Kobe Bryant’s elbow newly injured against the Clippers might be a new and further concern.

Oh… a worthy mention in this blog update – before I forget – FOR SURE has to be the amazing show Roberto Benigni did at Sanremo Festival.

Benigni is this era Charlie Chaplin… only even better if it’s possible to say.

The most exciting thing that is actually keepin on making even these days that I am away is the video homage I’m planning for what will be OUR MARRIAGE SONG, namely the wonderful STUTTER.

Meli started working on it by the end of January and she has provided some amazingness so far that I am willingly sharing with you all (the video will be nothing like this… believe I’m putting my best in it).

I think this time the best link in between the posts about my life and the M5 related stuff is clearly this fact 😉

So take some sneak peek at what Meli has drawed and remember to tune in around middle march on my Youtube Page, because this time the homage to Adam (and Anne)’s birthday(s) will actually be Stutter:

This video doesn’t exist

And now after my business let’s try to track back more than a month of M5 news, even though starting with music I should say first that:

NEW RADIOHEAD ALBUM THE KING OF LIMBS IS AMAZING and definitely already best album of 2011 (sorry, I know… you may try to argue but you lose): as soon as it came out (a day earlier than planned) Karim and I went to Florence for an awesome weekend and we did listen to anything but that. Codex is at the moment our favorite song in the world and that’s why I have used it as backsound of the lil collage in motion that I have made of Adam and Anne at the 2011 Grammy Awards (you will see it later ;))

NEW ADELE ALBUM IS FANTASTIC and I’m thrilled all the world is tributing her glory (it’s months that I am saying she’s best female vocalist currently), plus, Adam himself declared the most right of loves about the whole package (so his taste still good, because incoming awful collaboration with Travis McCoy could have set people off there… me certainly 😉 ) Gym Class Hero my ass… ADELE is one voice he should aim to collaborate with. PERIOD.);

COLDPLAY ARE PLOTTING FESTIVALS AND I WILL SEE THEM IN ITALY AND BRAZIL (cos when they’re in UK I am taken with marriage ;)),

GRAMMY AWARDS THESE YEAR WERE AWESOME (but that is gonna be encompassed in the M5 post part anyway ;))

I ADORE BEADY EYE’S “THE ROLLER” AND THEIR WHOLE RECORD, and I have got further evidence Liam Gallagher’s voice is just magical to me.

We were leaving from past post Adam and Anne in Los Angeles together; she had arrived after her own commitment that made her miss the Critics Choice Awards after shooting Never Gonna Leave This Bed video, which was shot after Adam and the guys had a great night out with PJ Morton at the Troubadour.

I recuperated a video of the after party of the Critics Choice Awards, but I still unable to break the codex that keeps the USA images of the performance honoring Tarantino impossible to be viewed outside US (I haven’t really minded that enough maybe, but ehi, I have a life so content yourself ;)):

And while we’re at, check the awesome duet on Heavy of Adam and PJ at the Trobadour from this post (click over and you will see the page and the live video, too):

Adam Levine and PJ Morton perform Heavy at the Troubadour

I also found a very cute page with a video of Adam and Jesse sharing some cityseeing tips that you might like (they’re always hilarious together); again, click on the pic and get to the video page:

Maroon 5 can't live without this...

Anne in that maintime as you know had to rock her new bangs in the Pepe campaign that I showed you before; those days away she also tweeted about some things she was doing in Spain that later shaped up to be a WONDERFUL celebratory issue of Harpers Bazaar’s Spain: for their 1 year anniversary issue Anne got the cover and a gorgeous editorial; she also did some things in Germany do you remember?

Yep.

And do you remember (see last post) when around Xmas time she tweeted from LA that she had a photo session with Yu Tsai?

Well, that ended being a wonderful spread for TUSH Magazine.

Since I like all those, I created a little video to present you all the pictures 😉 (and I like the song that I picked up for soundtrack… I know… you know… I might be cold towards her voice but I LOVE all her songs which are dance-y and speak of heavily sexual stuff 😉 I rely 😉 LOL):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

Anne was away also to be the first Face at Escada’s defilé, as you remember, and those images are also into this other mini video that I created that unifies some random images of Adam and Anne (also from her previous years’ Sports Illustrated spreads… more to come about THIS year after of course):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

After all those commitments Anne flew back to Los Angeles, where she could appreciate lovely romantic things such as the full moon and less iconic, but still great more playful things like bowling… and allegedly she as skills there.

Anne beats Adam in bowling 😉

Many skills ;).

Adam and Anne spent some lovely days in Los Angeles, and Adam also came out to support Sam’s games – he could be a perfect soccer mom – ; allegedly they ventured out all lovey dovey in their own business time, but we got to learn through third parties that allegedly they couldn’t keep much hands off one another.

And I mean…

Also in public places 😉

I so totally picture that… *sweet* and *very sexy*.

Karim and I do the same so I completely support them there ;).

In fact the two lovebirds, after the cuteness of their Los Angeles rendez-vous, flew way before the rest of Maroon 5 in Jamaica; Maroon 5 were meant to be part of the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival, but Adam and Anne decided to go to the beautiful Caribbean Island before and alone to… well… to keep minding their own business.

And they decided those days alone they would have been REALLY alone: they cut off all phone related facilities.

*lovely*

In full.

Then they had business, and a good one, as a band of course.

Read some interview of James about the way the guys love islands ;):

James about Jamaica Jazz

You will see from the pics from the event that FINALLY after more than a gap of 16 months (last time he had done it he was with Angela Bellotte in New York in September 2009!!!!) Adam DID SHAVE HEAD AGAIN, rocking again one of his many styles (and you know I love him with the razored-off hair… his face is so beautiful he can rock it so well).

Finally!!!!

I was like “What is, Anne is banning you from doing it?” (insert cute laughing ;)… I don’t think she actually did it), because you know that elapsed time without chopping off all his Chia-Pet like hair was really unusual for Adam ;).

I actually remember that years ago somebody told me Jane (yes… THAT Jane, the one and only, Miss – now Missus actually – Jane Herman, daughter of Fred Segal’s owner Mr. Herman, the Muse behind “Songs About”) used to mock Adam’s shorter do.

Don’t know if that is true (by those times they were in not happy terms with one another, though now they are ) but whatever it is, you know I am grateful forever to Jane because without her cruelty to Adam, we wouldn’t know Maroon 5 at all ;).

Really... trash. REALLY. Glad it never blossomed. UGH.

And by the way, you know the only girlfriend Adam had that I really HATED to see him paired with was the Bunny Ho herself, Janine Habeck, the German playmate.

I am so so glad after that downfall (I don’t consider the flings he had with Parasite Hilton a serious thing, so she’s out of the UGH list but just because it was a fuck&go thing, that anyway gave us a cooooool song like Figure it Out ;)) Adam’s taste in women got back decently arising.

And you know how ecstatic I am of his choice over Anne.

Because I like him with classy looking people (you know I always loved him with Natalie P. too, even though she loved to make him feel culturally inadequate… like she uses to with anybody not “Harvard”-ed after all ;)…

But better a noisy obnoxious LOVELY and talented Natalie than anything nearby the trashy territories that Janine Habeck symbolized.

But okay, let’s stop this gossip back down to a not so stellar memory lane and let’s get back in Jamaica where the two lovebirds took sun and …

well…

You will see from tweets and images from the gig…

Some kind of reproachable fashion sense.

*sigh*.

Adam… dear Lord… why oh why sometimes you go THAT color blind?

The wrong kind of rainbow around your body can kill even your undebatable hotness. And capri pants on a male… gosh they’re so awful… Okay that Jamaica (in the words of Jesse I presume) may have changed you forever, but hopefully your perception of what’s good to wear will get back soon to “PRIOR” to it? 😉

The pictures in the small video are a sneak pick out from THIS SET on Flickr that you should check cos it’s AWESOME:

Okay that you loved those shoes… but why being a colorful hippie meeting an emo guy?

Adam and Mickey in Porto Rico, January 2011

Luckily the stop after Jamaica (Porto Rico) saw Adam keep the shoes, but being way better matched in the rest of the outfit…

As this picture evidences 😉

It makes me laugh sometimes to see how Adam can transition from being PERFECTLY ELEGANT AND PREPPY to be honestly looking like a homeless (and still hot, because with that body and face, he would be hot even dressed in recycled paper…)

Take a Journey in Adam Levine’s Style Rollercoaster through clicking this link (and know that for me the preppy style is actually his best and will forever be, because his noble features SHINE when he’s aptly dressed…)

The Caribbean tournament in Porto Rico wasn’t followed by Anne who had to fly away (and she also of course had loved the Magic of the Island… I wonder if she’s the reason Adam claimed there it changed him forever? I guess SO); but we learnt soon that the two lovers would have reunited a bunch of days later in Dallas for the Superbowl: Maroon 5 were set to perform, both at the Saturday Direct TV Celebrity Bowl Bash, and for the Tailgate Party of Fox the actual Day of The Superbowl on the official entertainment schedule.

While parted, Anne got to see the movie that I loved the most personally out of the Oscars’ roaster, the AWESOME The Kings Speech. And since her taste are great (who can argue?) she seemed to love it as much as me.

Adam… well… Adam has other tastes for movies.

SIGH. 😉

Btw, you do remember Anne filming with Freja in London when she was there in the days of Maroon5 presence past October, do you? (yep, the very romantic time they had there, and the days when Adam shot the Cosmopolitan naked spread, yep)…

Well, that was for the H&M new Spring Summer Campaign, and now you can see it (click on the picture and you’ll reach the page with the video of the spot):

Anne V and Freja E for H&M Spring Summer Campaign: click on for video

Now let’s instead get into lovely Mickey Madden’s world (you know how much I do have a soft, soft, SOFT spot about him!!!) because he proved once more how much of a lovely and deep creature he is by speaking again about his veganism.

You know I am not into that, but after reading him you know also I totally respect that vision too (mostly because he doesn’t act nor speak like a self assured blinder about it):

Mickey and his dedicated vegan behaviour

You gotta just love Mickey don’t You?

While on the break before Super Bowl, and among chronicle still of their Caribbean times, all of the guys obviously returned to Los Angeles.

The tenderness that California home inspires to them all, but mostly Adam makes it so hard for them to bend to touring.

Gotta reflect on that, because now that they’re actually on the other side of the world, you often, very often get the clear feeling that although they sure love to meet and play for fans everywhere, they also undoubtedly are kind of resident types of musicians.

They always were.

In a way I am glad in my life I’ve got to see them so many times (these incoming triades of Paris, Milan and Berlin marks if I recall correctly my 16th, 17th and 18th times I’ve seen them live…) already because a tiny voice inside me says quite insistently that it might be not much time left before they openly and totally change their vision about going all over the world to play live.

Adam tweeted from Superbowl (see later) about the 17th Birthday of Maroon5 – then Kara’s Flowers – on February 6th: I can’t help but thinkin this time 17th might actually be a not so happy number.

As they would say…

“It’s just a feeling that I have”.

But it’s pretty consistent and I have to say some of the rumors that are floating around about tv shows (I will talk of that later) pretty much confirm these feelings, actually.

Let’s see 😉

PS: In this very moment I’m listening to one of the best albums ever, by a recent discover of mine (how late I am there? I feel ashamed!).

PLEASE CHECK ANYTHING BY “JOAN AS POLICEWOMAN“.

That’s pretty PERFECT awesome music.

For real.

I’m also very into I BLAME COCO at the moment. Northern European music genes produce amazing beats.

And then, beside Radiohead and Adele (see above), I am TOTALLY and completely in LOVE with the awesome iTunes acoustic session of Maroon5, which is pretty spectacular and which I have used a lot in all my patchwork videos of this update as backsound tracks.

It’s AWESOME.

GET IT FROM THIS LINK: and do like me… buy only original music if you want to keep music alive.

Okay, back in tracking 😉

Oh… while I’m all over the world Meli still drawing for me of course… though u gonna know THIS PARTICULARLY drawing she already made a few weeks ago had been brought to our Los Angeles home…

Gotta put it where it belongs the most (see above about Adam being difficult in partying from his native town… LOL!).

I thought it was fine to place his portrait in a convenient space…

Am I sweet or not?

Also sweet are Maroon5 Latin America fans (and I wonder… don’t they deserve a tour there too? Do it guys, don’t be cruel…).

Among curious news then know that Maroon5 music is also good to train for… FIGHTING.

Seriously 😉 Oh… and as usual Jesse keep sharing cute and brainful things, and they still SWEETHEARTS (Haiti isn’t forgotten right?) and so we all must follow their charitable lead, too.

Let's paaaarty 😉

As on the West Coast the guys were relaxing prior to Dallas, Anne was gearing up for the commitments with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit stuff. She also seemed so happy, poor lovely sweet creature… unaware yet how she would have been tricked – and STOLEN, in my not so humble opinion – there once more.

You will see I had so much foresight there… unfortunately (not that I have anyhow ever trusted the taste of that magazine… they seem to prefer the most trivial models instead than those who could give them a classy sparkle anyway… So very and uncannily trashy americanism… so far away from European appreciation of elegance also in semi-nudity…).

Anyway, after all that it was SuperBowl Time, with the parties and the playing duties (too bad Adam did not also play at the Celebrity Beach Bowl, but only providing the music to it… I mean… Adam Levine, Matt Bomer at one sight? Malish beauty straight and gay at its peak ;)…)

The three days (that Adam almost missed due to the snowfalls and the late airplanes arrivals, while Anne flew way before him and way more in time… ;)…) were fullfilled and cute and among the minions things they did do, also regarding Anne including fellow SI Swimsuit gals, I have decided to cut the chase short and put all images in a mini video, so that you can get a complete glimpse of images and events, and I can just limit myself in comments by linking Adam and Anne’s twitter posts about the events later (and now).

I am starting to optimize also inspired by Adam’s witty mood – maybe – … or getting almost there 😉

Oh and yes… Adam was darn ORANGE at Dallas weekend.

Embarassingly so: I guess since he did shave from Jamaica, the gradient detach from the tanned skin and the shaved face forced him to a repair… but good Lord… that was so Jersey Shore it did hurt even his perfect face!!! (and in fact he admitted it later… though maybe his way to even the orange madness might not be that good of a solution either lmao… ;)).

From the tv take this excerpts of their perfomance from the Tailgate Party:

I just adore the whole of this to be honest… Getting glimpses of the happiness and satisfaction they all communicated out is satisfying for their listeners / followers too and makes you feel sweetly empathic.

It’s a mood booster in many ways, honestly: then I just feel fine in picturing all of the guys happy, in whatever way or due to whatever reason… I’m this much of a lightweight, yep.

And to be still more honest Keith and the guys would have been a better half time performers choice than dreadful Black Eyed Peas were in my book... the only thing I liked there was Usher’s dancing and since you know for me Usher‘s so overrated, you get an idea… ;).

During the days of Superbowl finally the awesome video for Never Gonna Leave This Bed was released: I STRAIGHT bought it from iTunes and unlike it did happen with the HAO video awfulness, the greatness of this latest video actually made me like the song MORE.

It’s an awesome video, check it:

Everyone was so excited about it, and RIGHTLY so 😉

Past the SuperBowl Time, it was time for everybody to get back to Los Angeles, as Grammy week was approaching (Adam seemed inspired about fashion choices days before the event… LOL).

Yeah... you saw it already but why not again? 😉

Anne was actually able to reach LA safely and way before Adam did, obtaining good Venice spare time in between.

Days prior the event were a round of preparation, and also there were a pre Sports Illustrated public relation management for Anne, and for Adam a preparation pre European Tour take-off and add to that some time in the studio (hopefully for something we will be able to hear soon?).

But they managed to spend their good times together, and Adam couldn’t hold his praise for his lady not even with his more famous friends, like Ryan Seacrest.

And to be cute to one another (awwww… how cute is of Adam to worry about her safety driving?), of course (and to FrankieGirl!!! Look how cute she is…).

During the days in Los Angeles Adam got to see the video of Sara Bareilles‘s incoming new single, UNCHARTED, in which he sings and stars along with tons of others musicians, being part of the “writer block” song.

You all know I heart massively Sara and to me is always a soothing moment whenever she and the guys merge visions to produce true art in sound and motion and whatever else they decide to put efforts into.

Can’t wait to see the results (the video director is Travis Schneider, the same behind Vevey Forever video and book).

They of course headed to the pre-Grammies bashes, and the best among them is ALWAYS The Roots’ one.

Adam also gave some interviews.

One is on the March Issue of Women’s Health:

Adam on Women's Health Magazine March 2011

The other instead was given the days prior to the Grammies at the Jewish Chronicle and I TOTALLY loved it to pieces:

Adam Levine interviewed by The Jewish Chronicle Feb 2011

Back to the Grammy thing now… You know how much of a let down was last year’s Grammy to me, because I thought it was a pure shame to land Taylor Swift the major prizes, and I was fearing something awfully similar could have happened in 2011 too: instead, seriousness was restored.

This year instead I have to say practically all results were awesome to me, and I would have just let Eminem win more landing him the two SOTY and ROTY awards instead of landing them at over boring Lady Antebellum (I can’t help: country-pop to me is lame, lame, LAME).

I have also to confess that I think Train deserved the Grammy they took over Maroon5.

Maroon 5 in iTunes shots

That song (Ehi Soul Sister) was straight a pure pop-rock gem and I have loved it completely since I first heard it: if any, you gotta criticize the Academy to not reckoning the greatness of that song in its due year (last one), but like it did happen with Maroon5’s win for This Love, the fact they put the “live” version of the song up for grab told everyone they were rightly the frontrunners for the prize.

I repeat… I think it was fair, actually. Too bad we couldn’t see Adam and the guys televised in another Grammy grab though, like they did in 2005.

Misery is a very good song, but it was no better: now if STUTTER had been instead the first single out of Hands All Over, I keep saying all the performance of the album would have been better, and I am SURE the success both the song and the record could have then enjoyed would have landed Maroon5 their fourth Grammy.

Adam said he is ready for 2012.

I appreciate the positivity.

Let’s see 😉

For sure one awesome thing was the fact Adam performed onstage with Rihanna, Eminem, Dre and awesome vocalist and songwriter Skylar Grey (they bonded at the after party, too allegedly), showing us once more how much of great musician he is, taking duties playing PIANO (I was blown away: that man can do EVERYTHING… if he only would focus on music “Kobe Mode”… *sigh* he can be so perfect being naturally himself):

Adam Levine’s talent is just MASSIVE. Face it.

But let’s start from the start…

Better… let’s start from the PRE-Start.

Adam caused a bit of Mayhem the Friday before Grammies when he couldn’t help but notice (as anyone older than 13) that the new Lady Gaga’s smash hit, Born This Way, was like a Madonna’s medley.

Given that Adam has always expressed admire for Gaga, it’s hard not to notice he was right.

Well, funny enough…

Anne had her entrance at the Grammies NOT along Adam… but Along Lady Gaga 😉 (you hear the song… tell me if Adam wasn’t right ;)):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

No shock or tricky facts… she just had the honor of being part of Lady Gaga’s theatric entrance in an egg, dressed by Thierry Mugler as a horned tall amazon, holding… a vassel that carried Gaga inside, like a womb.

And it was so sweet the way Adam rooted for her, once again Oh man they’re so adorable paired :)…

In this interview from the Official Grammy Red Carpet you see Ryan Seacrest interviewing BOTH Anne and Adam, as they reached the event on February 13th (this is a French News covering of Anne, too):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

Adam’s look was object of some controversy, too (and object of a funny tease by Kurt Sutter, Sons Of Anarchy creator, via Hart Hanson ;)).

I personally loved it (even tough you know I hate capri pants on a male, those pants were instead very European Fashion Forward, very stylish, and loved the whole of his mise).

Of course the Americans are too tacky to understand male fashion and they blasted him on the subsequent Fashion Police Show:

To be honest I don’t think Joan Rivers was actually rude or anything… I think she’s just a bit obsessed about Adam’s sexual life (you may remember a few weeks ago she said that thing about being a female in Hollywood, and getting busy with either Adam or John Mayer…)

Anyway after their entrance they of course stay together all time, and Anne changed her Alien Outfit in favor of an adorable silver and grey dress which was a very good match with Adam’s mise, too:

Error

This video doesn’t exist

The party night was only partially shared though, because Anne had to fly straight towards New York to attend the David Letterman’s unveiling of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover.

Hence, after she praised her man, and before her man headed to the best and most secluded VIP party of the night, she ventured to LAX to catch a red-eye flight to Big Apple.

Adam's Valentine sent to Anne in New York

When she woke up, it was Valentine’s Day too… and she wished happily to everybody to feel it… because Adam sure made sure she had felt it, sending her flowers while she was at the backstage at Ed Sullivan’s Theathre with Letterman (AWWWW).

I wonder how cute that could feel…

Sending love from Coast To Coast 😉

It was maybe that one the call Adam was taken with while shopping in Los Angeles those hours – as you see in the collage below -, before leaving to Europe?

Adam Levine shopping in LA on Valentine's Day 2011

Because as Anne was getting preppy for the big appearing and all the 10 SI Swimsuit girls were gathering in New York, the guys were putting together the final details in their schedules (and suitcases) before saying “bye bye” to United States for a first tranche lasting 5 weeks (the 5 weeks where I WILL SEE THEM, so some truly amazing five weeks on my own behalf, sure ;)… but a strong streak for far away lovers, even though they will sure re-meet before… well, before Russian times for sure, at least ;)).

Anyway, Adam was cheering for Anne a lot, but as I predicted, and as the PR campaign was mostly making clear in the past month, the cover of SI SWIMSUIT 2011 went to a girl who keeps looking to me like a person whose face screams “I cost this much per hour” even though Anne seems of a very different opinion than mine (but she’s always so lovely, I wasn’t expecting any differently).

I can’t help: I find Irina Shayk‘s face really gross and vulgar (also her Intimissimi ad that keeps running on Italian tv screams pornstar to me…).

Girl has a wonderful bottom body (legs and ass especially) but she’s got plunging belly and an axis eyes/nose/lips which seems too much unelegant and trashy to me.

Adam and his love for Italian food

I can’t help.

To me this is a PR mistake, as bad as modeling choice as it was the lame Brooklyn Decker (but at least she was having huge breasts… Irina hasn’t even them instead).

I fear next year cover can go to Chrissy Teigen now, which would be a total laughable shame, as the girl TOTALLY is average looking (even less than that to me) and she’s short and pretty boring on any shot I’ve seen of her.

But she has a very strong support, the editors totally ride her up and it seems everyone finds her funny (Adam also started following on twitter both her and John Legend… I can understand the latter, at least ;)).

Well, it’s not really like Sports Illustrated is THAT much of a big deal (it maybe WAS, but to be honest Anne has the kind of body/features/style/shape that can allow her to do way more high fashion stuff, than SI Swimsuit could ever land to her).

It’s a long time SI cover models are never high fashion ones: Marisa Miller (beautiful, but short), Beyonce (I know… ;)), Bar Rafaeli (short and with tendency to get fat); Brooklyn Decker (a pair of HUGE boobs, no runaway shape, and a face that to be defined butterlike is way too kind).

Irina Shayk may be the closest the cover has gotten to fashion these past years, but still nowhere near credible fashion (her face is too overly sexualized to be ok in high fashion photography).

Anyway… These are Anne’s SI shots (not fine those bikini peachy colors… but she’s so beautiful nonetheless):

Adam touched down on UK soil keeping feeling very lovey dovey – probably remembering all the strolls he and Anne did that previous October I mentioned before.

It’s so sweet the way love makes the guy mellow… 😉

Maroon 5 for David Lynch Foundation: click over to jump there

Anne instead after the Letterman thing weekend started the celebratory in between New York and Las Vegas about the Sports Illustrated issue reveal; I’m not really sure about first outfit/makeup/hairdo (very 80’s… maybe a bit too much to my taste ;)), but she always manages to look adorable even in the worst kind of mises.

On the other side, her body is just to die for… ALWAYS (look the way her stomach is flat… awesome!)

I found cute beyond words the way Anne hinted at her stay in Las Vegas, because that was where she and Adam first met last year (when Maroon5 were the resident musical guests for SI Swimsuit launch – this year it was Ne-Yo); and as teasingly lovely the way Adam said he would have stayed mum about “details” ;).

The whole event was well covered, and as you saw in the above videos of Anne she also managed to take cooking lessons (awww… those might always be useful girl; also because you’re with a gourmet type of man and although he can cook, it’s never bad to learn how to do it also yourself, so you can kinda… tease him – and yourself – more ;)).

I really like the way Anne seems always upbringing and cheerful.

She’s the definition of a sweetheart, with the perfect look of an elf goddess.

In Uk Land in the maintime lovely Sara Bareilles (best tourmate ever with Maroon5 , because they’re friends from a life and she’s naturally fitting in with the boys) was sharing good vibes as well.

The tour started in Brighton, and then moved on to a stream of Uk dates.

Here it is a compendium video out of first night in London at Brixton Academy:

And after that, take Adam’s sweet whispers along, too (so tender!).

Those hours, some of the concertgoers had the amazing experience of having Adam PHONE CALLING THEM (well, some of their friends or lovers who weren’t actually at the gigs, actually); thing that as you can easily picture drove more than one happily insane.

Aahahhaha.

Click on this link and you will see a video of the phone call 😉 (AWWWW!!!).

If I can ever get that as well not (that I will push to be front row… Karim’s with me and we have kinda of a “good manners” type of deal ;)…) I would make him call Serena.

She’s the one who’s gonna miss both Paris and Milan gigs actually so… it’d be due ;).

Anne V in Los Angeles, February 2011 times

While in break times in London, Adam went actually shopping for clothes in one of the COOLEST (if not THE coolest) place the town can offer, namely Dover Street Market (Comme Des Garçons: whenever Japanese style is, Style RULES)

As the Las Vegas mayhem ended, Anne went flying to Los Angeles.

She’s one her track to become a perfect Cali person as well?

Oh, God knows how I wish it so!

Anyway, she was there for attending All Star Game (and poor Adam really was envying her there… poor baby ;)), and then (actually just by the time this post is being written and posted) the Academy Awards Vanity Fair Party.

Awww she is gonna be so so cute there!!! (and Adam had his Oscar time last year… so this year is fair she will send to him cheering shout-outs, right?)

In the days there (a full on week and counting) she also had Malibu sweet & dorky time, she had more driving testing experience (and all around car maintenance) and also, completely cute, she attended as you read way above the game Lakers played against Clippers, along Gene Hong and N.P. 😉 (the game Karim and I would have attended too, if I weren’t more than only focused on my business these LA quick days ;)).

Maroon 5 in Manchester, 21st February 2011

Think that weather hasn’t exactly been always perfect… but it doesn’t matter: I’m really glad Anne is shaping up to be Cali-obsessed.

It’s the way it has to be.

You know…good influences ;).

Hopefully the two lovers had ways and time to be in long contact: also because Adam as per usual gets so homesick traveling far away he has the only remedy of keeping his system loaded on PacificStandardTime.

Adam also has a way to deal with touring boredome and that’s video-gaming.

Somehow new portatile phones facilities help him even more there.

Fruit Ninja is apparently a good cure as well, indeed.

Then there is always the ADD stopper by excellence to keep Adam relaxed while on tour… yep… the thing Snoop Dogg gets the most shouting up for… from Adam too, of course ;).

It’s very heart-warmening then to know and realize (as per usual actually) everybody gets ravished at their gigs.

It’s so making me angry (but after so many years of wrong biased reps, I am kinda used to it) how many people realize Maroon5 actually KICK ASS only when they go to their live gigs (where it’s impossible not to get how great they are).

It’s the “pretty boys making pop” kind of misunderstanding impression.

Adam in Kilt in Glasgow, 22 Feb 2011

Because of the way they look, and the way their music sounds, people assume Maroon5 is “just” pop.

Instead Maroon5 is GREAT pop, made by guys who can deliver magic live and who have actually their roots in the indie style of playing, more than any pop field.

But ehy… I know the wrong assumption is so rooted by now people will just change their perspective on them only if they get smart enough to actually catch them live.

I hope this is an option that can be kept going on for a while more.

I’m speaking like this because after their Scottish gig (look in the collage how funny Adam was wearing a kilt… BACKWARDS ;)) a news started spreading up in USA:

Adam and Cee-Lo Green seem to be in talks to become judges for a new singing competition, named The Voice, and produced on NBC (Universal TV partner… and Maroon5 is under Universal).

I HOPE THAT WON’T EVER HAPPEN.

Mostly because that would mean no tour, and I am not the only one thinkin people prefer great artist to tour and not being on tv judging; then I also think there’s no space for more audiences for more singing competitions (American Idol and XFactor are already enough filling); then honestly… unless Adam would plan a year break in case he had to become father or anything related… it’s just wrong for him to land his (undoubtedly awesome) face and expertize to a lame tv show.

I was so loving the impression I used to have he wasn’t fond of singing competition.

I sure hope this is a wrong feed of media.

Then… hasn’t Cee-Lo Green dissed Maroon5 lately?

I don’t really want to see a tv beefing in judging (and I love both Cee-Lo and Adam too much to wish for them to go on tv that way: they have to be on tv for singing THEIR music only.).

I better focus on UNCHARTED VIDEO PREVIEW (click on this)…

Then I better share with you pictures of just happened gigs in Luxembourg (coolest state name for Adam… Lux indeed ;)), and keep thinking about boys touring the best way.

I mean… Adam, think twice about tv shows… Andrew WK wouldn’t find it any cool, so that maybe he wouldn’t ever think again you can still “Party Hard“, no matter how you could brag still about it (reversal psychology ;)).

Then take these links and pieces of news about incoming schedules (for Spring and Summer again… so no space for tv shows?) for Maroon5 in Usa, and Caribbean again.

Beside the June show for the Golf tournament, Maroon 5 are set to headline along their Grammy buddies Train the Mid State Fair on July 23:

Maroon 5 and Train for Mid State Fair

Prior to that, and before Maroon 5 will get back to Europe and Asia for keeping on their World Tour (from Istanbul, to Cairo, to Dubai… and all over Asia), the boys are slated to perform on April 12 for Tru Tv special series launch Performances:

This is gonna be cool... 🙂

I think BEFORE this Tru Tv thing (because Istanbul gig is on April 15th, so they got to fly over Mediterranean at least April 14th? Or they could be there by April 13th and then fly from Barbados to Turkey? Who knows ;)), they are going to be part of Breakfast in Barbados event too (and that is overchill and really pleasant scenery, yep):

Breakfast in Barbados 2011 event: click to be informed

So by all counts, I truly truly hope Maroon5 keep being on the road and not really put on hold by any tv show madness.

To me they are a band…

And a band is mostly and ultimately so when it performs live for their fans.

minutes ago... Los Angeles shining from Griffith Park Observatory

That’s why I can’t wait, after we take off to New York in some hours (btw, how cool is to type on iPad from Griffith Observatory and Park?), to fly over to Paris to see them once more…

And then in Milan, once more…

And again in Berlin… once more again.

I hope this chaotic and filled update was worthy the wait.

To be honest I won’t review it much because this weather over LA today is promising and Griffith Park is awesome; we don’t care at all about Oscar Chaos over downtown so we will just taste our hours in a very sexy way.

Oh… we know we’re missing Lakers game with OKC in these moments but… trust me… we are gaining magic nonetheless.

Kobe will forgive us.

Catch you in March.

Bye Bye and be All Up^^^^ ;)!

Miss Z. 🙂

Good morning and sorry for the long absence.

Adam and lovely Frankie on greengrass

I know…

I’m late but you know what?

On top of all the planned staying-aways from blogs (due to holidays, schedules, and all that relates to our marriage organization) the past week I have also been plastered with LABYRINTHITIS (no kidding, I face another week of therapy at home, and that actually has forced me to pull out of my planned end of the month trip to New York: you can guess I’m not happy about any of this)… so be kind and realize there’s really a lot going on for this gal and blogging can/will be done in excerpts of time.

Ehi!!!

Combined with schedule and illness (snort…) I have also been forced to kinda miss AGES of Lakers games!!! Milan games!!!

You know it’s serious when even my sporty passions gotta step a bit aback.

Adorable Anne V in fashion magazines

This year is a very BIG year for me… I have such schedules that I have resolved to introduce into my life an element to avoid it to become untakeable.

So I have a personal assistant since last week (luckily he timed perfectly with my illness, so that my working tasks haven’t been completely forced to reprogramming, thank God…): he’s called Carlo, he’s kind, capable and gorgeous and he’s wonderfully gay (I actually decided for him among candidates when he was able to confess that in a very manly, totally natural, and even casual speech with me at the third go-through for the job).

The fact that I need even a personal assistant to survive furtherly keeps telling you that blogging really ain’t in my first priorities these days (though I still like doing it, when I have time), and if you follow my Twitter (also aside in this page) you are aware of what I am talkin about.

I’m trying to do my best with a day of mere 24 hours (well, while ill I spent most of that sleeping, but that’s because medicines are heavy, I can’t watch tv, and even music gotta be played really low… I can’t stay standing yet, only laying or seated, and of course no physical activity of ANY kind is allowed so in other words… boredom realm for real!!!)

Divine creature in his patio

It’s all I can say 😉

Oh… and I miss sex a lot.

Surprised there, I bet…

I also hate that anytime I fall ill I shrink and I become all skin and bones (and I don’t even have Chris Martin serenading me Yellow… well, actually Karim played it for me on piano the other day ;))

Can’t wait to feel better mainly for that (Karim btw has been an awesome nurse these days and also my friends have been all supportive and they came visiting me in floods… I love you crew!)

I will try to encompass the chronicles of this past month the best I can – given that I reduce chronicles to music basically, cos the sports that I can talk about is secondhand, which I hate in my current state- , but first, and very strangely compared to my usual behaviours, I share first the videos that i made lately.

You know from my previous post that I ~~TOTALLY CAN’T STAND~~ was quite let down regarding the idea Maroon 5 have had to make Hands all Over a single and get the video duties to that criminal who ridiculed the great original video of Misery (that’s just the worst ever video in the whole world, and I mean that stupid cartoonish cheesy horrifying UK version of it of course ).

So I decided that in My YouTube the first video homage of the year would have been the awesome cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” the guys did on Stern back in September (see the raleted post in this blog):

But you know also why I felt betrayed about the choice of pickin Hao as a single.

I WANTED STUTTER (the first three singles again, should have been 1) Stutter; 2) I Can’t Lie; 3) Just A Feeling or How; 4) Misery… THAT would have constituted way more of a positive bandwagon for the album… but that is gone by now… you know my opinion there 😉 if you read this blog don’t you?).

So I will have Stutter.

In Stop Motion.

With Karim and Meli (angel Meli!!!!! THANK YOU) drawing for me (my illness will slow down the preparation for it but March still the date to put it out).

I have a new set of tricks to train my Director attitude with.

And I am so into this all… I created a TRAILER for what will be my next YouTube Upload (by the way, Maroon 5 just shot the video for the fourth single, Never Gonna Leave This Bed, in Los Angeles… you will learn about it later in the updates ;)):

And since we are at it… of course (just like it happened with their real video for NGLTB …) also MY female lead will be Anne 😉 becoming a drawing like the rest of the band and mostly Adam.. in Stop Motion.

Talkin about Anne… look how beautiful she is for the Louis Vuitton Resort Campaign Spring Summer 2011 ;):

Okay… I have been toying with video softwares, you see 😉

Actually I also created a patchwork with stills of the incoming Never Gonna Leave This Bed video.

More shots and actual press videos of the making of will be posted later in this update (they are so cute cuddling one another… awww… the perfect couple they are!!)but for now take this and see all the fun that I am having with this patches (lol!):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

I’m properly like a kid with tech stuffs you know me 😉

Everything new on the matter to me is like Play-Doh: gotta put my hands on it and morph it into something that fits my creativity 😉

A little collage dedicated to the hotness that is Adam Levine. Enjoy 😉

During the holiday time when Karim family visited they were really shocked about the way I am at once completely tech master and also the way I can be traditionalists (yep, I can prepare homemade tortellini and cook pretty well, and teach that too ;)), at which Karim just said that is “my way to be Tao” ;).

Totally spot on.

Oh, let me add momentarily that I wish my guru Steve Jobs the fastest ever recovery: Steve, we’re with you.

I’m a tekkie and a proud Apple-ist.

I still haven’t the faintest idea on how to organize this post (Karim helps with typing cos I can’t yet obviously, while dear Fede, who will substitute me in the NY trip, put together the video updates under my requests… thank you guys ;)), so I guess I’ll just step back and start where I left you on the verge of Christmas.

LONG shot 😉

I know.

We left the boys and A Home for the Holidays was ready to be broadcasted: so there you go, enjoy it folks!

Red fits Adam so well (as much as it shines on Anne, too!).

Maroon5 have also launched a very interesting Photo contest that could allow you to pretty much roadie with the band on tour: check this especially and see the video (click on the image to jump on the page with video):

Send and image of LOVE and roadie along with Maroon 5

Trust me if I weren’t taken with that small thing that is marriage (…) I would ave tried it 😉 and probably so would have Karim 😉

Talkin about trips and who knows… marriage, the guys have added another Russian date to their schedule, in the amazing town of the Hermitage Museums. *sigh*. I’d love to check that one!!!

Adam and Anne shopping and loving it up

Adam has also been vocal in his funny way about his new years resolutions (and ask me why again the word marriage comes to mind… lol!).

Talkin about that, the two lovebirds we all love spent all the Xmas times together (awwww) and even though Los Angeles weather was strangely bad (but there have been moment of blissful sun and rainbows even!) they managed to make even rain feel absolutely romantic, as you’ve seen and as you will keep see.

Oh, man they melt me so fully!!!

During holidays beside Adam and Anne James for instance had time to practice with JJAMZ, and I can’t wait for that record in full (of course I’ll grab it).

Our favorite couple. Well, mine for sure 😉

Sweet Anne managed to have of course ANOTHER Xmas tree in Los Angeles too, and she tweeted an adorable picture of her stay.

Oh… yes: I keep melt of course 😉

Beside the bliss of their time together, and we all can so clearly see how much Adam shines in happiness any time Anne is around him, the festive time didn’t prevent our guy from tweeting some of what REALLY makes me adore him.

Xmas game with grandpy and Emma Zerner (lets not mention results...)

He vented against Sarah Palin a couple of times, and thank God, because that woman (??) is really a threat for EVERYONE (and sadly that got even truer around start of teh year, whena Deputy was shot in Arizona after her “advice”…), and his lively liberally oriented (well, he’s more an anarchist at times, but definitely more left than center than right…ALWAYS) soul couldn’t hold his despise any longer (I suppose he was watching Fox News at those times…).

What always makes me laugh is how his fans get surprised by his political beliefs.

Erm… Adam’s family especially from Patsy’s side is a well known liberal think-tank.

At Lakers Xmas game... shame... GAME. Game 😉

The Aunt he honors in the notes of Midnight Miles was the wife of his Uncle Timothy Noah, and whomever reads about politics in USA knows who he is.

Sure Adam may grow wary of politics (for disillusions) most of the times, but SURELY he would NEVER be a Republican, much less of the dull and idiot Palin’s type.

I love his political takes so much… Karim properly cheers at any of them (obviously).

That tweet saved him from my reproaches after they unveiled properly the Hands All Over video (I still can’t believe what they did with that… *sigh*).

BTW, certainly Anne had more fun at the movies with her pal than Adam did watchin Lakers getting destroyed on Xmas by the Meat. SIGH 😉 (He later joined her).

Vintage smirk in the dark

Those days they also started to share that they will play at this year SuperBowl: first as part of an event the day before, then properly at the Fox PreGame event along Keith Urban on February 6th (awesome!!!!), namely the SuperBowl Tailgate Party.

Talkin about incoming (well, that one is really a long way to come yet, it’s in JUNE) music+sports event, Maroon 5 will also play for those who play GOLF this year (and I might just check that, because one of Karim’s cousin is a PRO ;)).

Well, I’ll try my best to be there, accordingly with all the schedules of that period of course.

Of course 😉

After Xmas time it was time for the lovely couple and the whole of Maroon 5 to move to Caribe for the planned performances in Santo Domingo and Trinidad and Tobago.

Adam took it very “Indiana Jones-y” 😉

In the maintime, gotta say I LOVED the frankness of James in the Billboard article about the underperformance of HAO album (you know who and what I blame for it… with different singles and promotion plan, the album would have been a smash as it’d deserved, but now is late to re-adjust, and anyway it still a wonderful album).

Their honesty is always so pure and loveable.

BTW, Anne probably would have liked more sun to test her new glasses with in Santo Domingo… still, she managed to be adorable even under clouds.

Arriving in Santo Domingo

She’s naturally lovely.

The gig has been wonderful and here I prepared another video out from pictures… Enjoy:

Out of the beauty of the gig (universally reckoned) another really amazing thing was the way the band could actually be at ease in the places around.

I love that anytime it happens.

Another wonderful thing was that they moved out USING U2 airplane.

Adam was certainly happy on U2 plane 😉

REALLY 😉

How cool is that (rhetoric question)? 😉

anne V in Sports Illustrated vintage

Steamy Adam Levine. Yes please...

They moved from Santo Domingo to Trinidad and beside another lovely gig finally it seems Anne and Adam could enjoy some beach time (you know, those glasses they did buy in LA days before had to be used… see previous post ;)).

I just love anytime they tweet about food: two very slender people who truly love eating the way they do are refreshing! (now I don’t know about eating shark, Sharky, but I guess it can be tasty… I GUESS ;))

Also the other guys could enjoy the beauty of landscape and lots of other pretty things (aww).

Gig was coooooooool as well like we can imagine (check photos HERE) 😉

I often think how their systems gotta be trained well with jet-lags and stuff, because swirling that much cannot be easy on your body.

I know what I’m talkin about ;).

From Trinidad they had to move to Atlantic City where they were scheduled to perform for New Years Eve and those days (see also the Billboard interview) it seemed that the verbose one was James (I never complain there… I love how bright and full of composure he always is):

Jimmy V for Atlantic City press

While we are at interviews, read also this cute one from the same press tour:

Maroon 5 work hard as a group: good to know 😉

After reading things not mine (tsk… tsk… ;)) let’s roll and notice how the gigs crossing from 2010 into 2011 marked the end of the LONG time of Anne and Adam together in row.

One day I'll run out of adjectives... and moans... 😉

Before the return of the lovebirds into their privateness though they sure had a great great feisty time, you bet (stashes involved shouldn’t surprised a soul there, right?) 😉

Gal had to start workin again, but it’s so sweet what they said about hoping the 2011 would have just to be as great as 2010 for them to be happy (and since professionally we do know Adam wished 2010 would have been better, it’s easy to understand what – WHO – made his 2010 totally unforgettable, right? Awwwww).

Now if only they’d stop watching trash tv… *sigh*.

Okay with How To Train Your Dragon but… Jersey Shore??? Jersey FUCKIN Shore????

Adam, Anne… why? It’s so… irking… O__O (and no way I will link to the tweet of Adam about Jersey Shore because it almost made me puke. Holy… HOLY. JUST NO).

While Anne was getting back into her schedule, boys were heading back to sunny lovely Cali (well, maybe not straight sunny immediately as they went back…), and James for instance was intellectually ready… while Adam… well… Adam was being Linus.

Not the one of Radio Deejay (this is for Italians).

Btw, Anne in between tweets to Adam’s peeps let us know in some way why lately she did not carry her Pomeranian along while visiting and staying in LA… lol.

What was Anne heading to? You are about to see some 😉

First gal changed her look and got back to BANGS!!!! (yes… welcome back in our club Russian Fairy… you look awesomely pure with bangs… totally glorious m’am!!!).

She is beautiful. End of it.

You can see her shots from Paris offices of Elite Models (awwww) and then if you wonder what she used the bangs for as first move of the year…

She's totally elfic like. Awesome.

She worked it out for Pepe Jeans S/S collection ads, ladies and gentlemen!!! (GORGEOUS).

Enjoy the campaign:

Anne V and Jon Kortajarena for Pepe Jeans S/S 2011 ad campaign.

She’s just perfect. Perfect beauty. Perfect.

And that is not the only thing she was working for those days (I can’t wait to learn!!!).

As Anne was shining in what she truly does so well, modeling, Adam and James were spending some relaxing time and prepping for rockin Las Vegas at Aria HAZE Nightclub.

But before that, read the 25things you may did not know about Adam from US Magazine (hint: we DID already know ALL of them, didn’t we? I mean… they’re pretty common acknowledge among the longtime peeps by now?):

US Magazine 25 things you did not know about Adam Levine

I bet the maximum curiosity arose about Gene (Hong), because before Adam actually never so openly mentioned him (you might recall him in an episode of Mariah Carey’s hubby Nick Cannon show…?).

And keeping on with Magazines… he was also featured on Men’s Fitness February (the one with Ashton Kutcher on cover, that I obviously bought):

Adam Levine in Men's Fitness Feb. 2011

But don’t think I have no idea what you’re waiting for.

Let’s put it this way: the day THIS thing got online in the news, Adam Levine became a worldwide Twitter Trending Topic and as it totally should be the naturality and my blog got almost 1800 clicks in one day, because people were googling “Adam Levine NAKED“.

Yes.

Adam Levine naked for Cosmopolitan Uk. Hands provided by Anne V 😉

It happened that the images of Adam Cosmopolitan UK spread for the February issue (he’s the charity Centerfold) were leaked or at least previewed online.

Holy.

Moly.

Holy.

He’s just so completely PERFECT.

How gently and respectefully Anne tuckers his jewels in? Great check Anne 😉

And of course (talkin about aforementioned perfectionS) the hands covering him as we know are Anne’s (well, of course… like she would have allowed anyone else to volunteer there… lol).

Beside the fact Anne’s hands are actually pretty thick if any, I completely love the way she gently tuckers him inside.

No really… *great job Anne* (collective sighing of complete envy?? You bet. Karim won’t mind… he knows how I feel there, it’s innate in me to lust after Adam… but I’m very respecteful of everybody… *involved* ;)).

His perfect body crafted through yoga practice tells you a lot of things (beside that he’s as fit as hell): he has no fat and he won’t ever have it.

No steroids or over-muscling there, which make grown up men after they hit 35 become FAT once they stop heavy gym regime; no, Adam will stay always that slender and sculpted, and no name could fit him more than “Adam” in fact.

God had really to think about prototypical male handsomely features when he had to shape first man on planet Earth, right?

Oh… yeah.

What you find in Cosmopolitan Uk. Now go drool for about an entire day 😉

Well… give me a couple of minutes to re-gain some decency and composure.

Thank you.

If you wonder, the charity Adam had to strip for is the EVERYMAN campaign for prostate and testicular cancer.

Adam Levine attends Lakers vs Hornets game at Staples in January 2011

Which IS a serious issue so after you’ve cleaned your saliva from desk, push any male you know about do those checks (and check your own partner, as gently as Anne did with Adam’s privates. It’s also a very sexy way to get intimate, beside being useful. And yes… Karim and I did that too ;)).

In the days of solitude from Anne Adam did not really avoid company: he went to Lakers game, then he stuck in the studio (thing that he’s doing a lot anytime he reaches back LA: good boy… keep doing it good boy ;)).

Talkin about Lakers games… *sigh*… I miss watchin them badly these days of illness… (Okay I’ll stop).

Then they went to ARIA HAZE Nightclub (Sam along and Gene too, beside Jimmy V… and some Matchbox20 pal allegedly too).

The night was awesome and I know well because Charisse (Karim’s cousin) actually went there.

Too bad the Arizona shooting actually numbered the night all across ponds for their family…

But Charisse enjoyed the Las Vegas time of course and especially THIS cover Adam belted out of Nine Inch Nails’ epic CLOSER song.

We know it’s an all time fav of Adam and rightly so, because it’s so sexual and dirrrrrrrrrty of course he loves it (and he can do a wonderful rendition of it actually):

LOVE it.

So much.

Maroon 5 at Haze Nightclub in Las Vegas 8th January 2011 - 1

Take the collages again…

Maroon 5 at Haze Nightclub in Las Vegas 8th January 2011 - 2

and last one…

Maroon 5 at Haze Nightclub in Las Vegas 8th January 2011 - 3

Yeah… I’m loving cheesy collages lately.

Take it or leave it 😉 (even with Labyrinthitis I am stubborn and a nay-sayer… see?) 😉

His sexyness playing along.

After the gig and the beautiful sunsets Adam got back home of course.

My guess is that he avoided to be hungover in Vegas this time because being hungover in Vegas generally leads to strippers all over you and he had to imagine that wouldn’t have pleased Anne (Charisse has said to me there were wars among girls to get nearby to him in explicit way that night, but that he was totally unreacheable for that… GOOD THING ADAM boy. Good boy).

He had things to do… and to plan 😉

He also had to resist humors of good friends and TV mogul writers Hart Hanson and SOA creator Kurt Sutter about bikes… nakedness… you know… those things that haunt you if you’re hot and handsome and you still want to play Easy Rider 😉

Okay, it’s time for a bit of Flashback, okay?

I can put on thanx to my friend Siria the When I Was 17 episode involving Adam (it’s a re-reproduction… Siria thank you for recording it… you may have to do the same with the Critics Choice Awards… ;)), that a fellow British fan asked me about (glad to have filled her request, albeit in a no exactly perfect way ;)).

Enjoy this AMAZING version of Adam with cameos of Jesse and his mum Patsy (HILARIOUS and adorable man he is… also a bit of a bad boy… but with that face he can get along with it no matter what ;)):

And while we are at flashbacks, take also this small funny piece from Splash Tv on Adam’s past ;):

Am I good or what? 😉

Even ill… take note… lmao 😉

The night of the 11th January two things happened: the guys went to the Troubadour club to support (and play along) Maroon5 6th member PJ Morton (an awesome performance from everyone in the word of every witness) and Anne flew aside her man for a very, very blessed and important thing (after having shot her Victoria’s Secret Pink line duties, of course).

Yep.

The shooting of 4th single (but for me is like it’s the 3rd, you know why) “Never Gonna Leave This Bed” video.

Awwww.

Error

This video doesn’t exist

The song ain’t my fav ballad on the record, but it’s definitely a good song and I just CAN’T wait for watching the final video out of it.

Error

This video doesn’t exist

You have seen some of my own pics for the video, now enjoy proper images out of its shooting from media sources:

Error

This video doesn’t exist

And this one too:

Error

This video doesn’t exist

I can’t get enough of them together: to me is like watching a beautiful paint in motion.

They’re a livin beautiful art ensemble to me: my aesthete soul just gets fulfilled through their sight together; a peculiar version of Stendhal syndrome? LOL 😉

All I know is that nakedness fits the both of them just SO well ;).

Anne actually could remain just for the brief time of the shooting because she had to fly back to Europe first in Barcelona, for what is a cover and I can’t wait to discover of which magazine, and after that straight then in Berlin for Fashion Week (and in Berlin she was actually First Face for Escada defilée!!! whoooo), so she couldn’t take part in the Critics Choice Movie Awards the following day, when Maroon 5 acted as house band and honored Quentin Tarantino in a wonderful version of “Stuck In The Middle with You“ during broadcast (I will provide the video as soon as possible… blame damn codecs of VH1 and MTV usa 😉 for the delay).

While all that was happening, images of the video stills were making also the French drool ;), while I just have to agree with Modelinia and their article about the event: indeed Adam DESERVES the “best boyfriend” Award: Fo Sho… ;).

While you wait for the proper thing, enjoy this patch-wall of pictures from the event though:

The images of the night and the afterparties were all drool-worthy, by the way (and no one is surprised, is it?) and it seems it was really really a big fat laugh and entertaining jams all night long for all the boys (cute!!!).

I particularly loved to see Mickey and his ladylove (you know I have a soft spot for the silent one with the low deep beautiful voice).

Another wonderful thing happened hours later; Anne was moved to Berlin, and Adam went on voicing his ongoing pride, love and appreciation for his angel this way (awwwww all together):

isn't he so adorable?

Hours later, this was Anne’s answer (and I did melt… I was sick and super sick in my bed, but I couldn’t resist the wave of love the two exchanged and I melt… they are so completely wonderful as a loving couple…!!!!):

I can't help but adoring them two 🙂

Oh, they own my heart.

Truth :).

Biker Boy Adam ventured out the days after and beside that he also gave up to Lakers game after taping the Jay Leno performance (incredible!!!! He let James witness our win 😉 bad choice good boy… but at least Jimmy V had fun!), and he generally enjoyed the amazing winter climate of his hometown, ran more bike adventures, had some lunch and working meeting and especially he kept on hanging in the studio, for our future delight.

Btw, you know I am not a fan of Leno so the only thing that I let you see of it is of course Maroon 5 performance:

Okay. He’s hot. We can all agree there ;).

And “he” doesn’t mean Jay Leno of course ;).

Vintage Adam at Rock am ring

What to end?

First of all, Adam unveiled a very unexpected “old camp buddy” name and connection (really!!!!!) and then…

Lovely Matt Flynn had a moment to shine as well (check that podcast!!!)

Well, Anne has reached Adam back in Los Angeles just yesterday… I guess she slept a lot after her heavy schedule and I also bet the City of Angels is very glad to have her as an angel back.

Definitely Adam had someone to take care of after his morning in Santa Monica with Shawn, didn’t he? (a series of truly amusing tweets that one was… Adam is definitely such an hilarious guy!).

Vintage Adam 2007 VMA

We also all wish Adam didn’t have any more strange needs by the time he reached his belle at home (or at least that he gave her the candies... ;)).

We will hopefully have things to see next time too. We know we will 😉

Now let me thank my friends and Karim for having helped me out with this update (even though today I felt slightly better) and let me get back in bed to some more healing.

Catch you next time.

Hopefully decently soon enough 😉

Take care, as I will for sure… your sometimes very friendly (if you deserve) Miss Z. ;).

I made it!!!

I was honestly givin up at the idea of properly upload the blog this whole month of December… then I wanted to make it and come… then suddenly I almost gave up again.

Mostly because just when I was about to start writing, my friend Marghe sent me this APPALLING news, that unlike my usual behavior I put up (as a rejecting/coping sort of therapy: after that I will be able to write all that I was meant to, including PRAISE to Maroon5… but this atrocity doesn’t belong to the rest of my post):

REALLY??? REALLY??? That Uk version is a CRIME!!! It's cheap and terribly done... WTH???

Oh dear Lord… who the hell is advising them on these stuff?

Can’t they see how disastrous this is gonna be???

I am a complete fan of comics, cartoon art, being a Japan addicted and all: to me cartoon art has a meaning and a really high dignity but that in the Misery thing is GARBAGE, plain and simple.

Can’t they reckon how the ~~“revamped~~” SHIT version of UK Misery video was terrible?

And I KNOW, because being the fan I am, even if I totally barfed at it… I BOUGHT IT to stay as a completist towards their stuff!!!, and it almost made me feel GUILTY to watch the fuckery that is:

Worst. Idea. Ever.

I don’t get it… have they collectively developed a disease which mistakes awful for awesome? Are they kidding? (I wish…).

Then… Hands All Over as third single?

REALLY?

I am unable to cope with so much WRONG.

That is a good song, and I really love it, but after a weak performance from Give A Little More, you try HAO, which won’t ever be embraced by any of those who will never think you can do rock, and will be not fully taken by those who love you more on the rnb-popside than the funk-rock one???

*REALLY*???

And to make it even MORE difficult to embrace it, instead of going with a refined classic video (the story of the song would have given tons of chances for it) you betray its spirit and seriousness (and adultness) with a CARTOONED version, that looks like a kid trial at Photoshop???

Who do you think can enjoy that, really???

Can A video be that bad to make me dislike a song I actually LOVE? This video could... AWFUL.

You are not on the road of Pearl Jam great cartoon videos with that, nor that of Queens Of The Stone Age, nor in case 1 nor in case 2, because the style of the video still gross and poorly done, just like it was in Misery’s case.

You’re far away from Linkin Park even, because their cartoonish video have a depth and style that this horrifying trial couldn’t reach in 1000 light years (and I am not even a fan of Linkin Park…).

It’s ages away also from the one you were maybe aiming at, Kanye West’s Heartless… because Kanye has a true dig at graphic stuff and he uses colors and dynamics WAY better than your “director” could dream of in that video (whic I adore).

You’re on the road of the Smurf with that and I can’t really take it lightly, because it embarasses my educated fan conscience like a bad, bad, bad – and unsexy – slap on the face.

What is it… an Harakiri process? A test to see how strong can you try and be stretching things? A forcedly violent farewell???

Oh, boy… Luckily Karim sculpts and I can distract myself.

But it’s hard: this horrible news shocks me and it’s a bad surprise after what they tweeted, which I was hoping was a great video idea for Stutter.

I am disappointed… and it hurts, coming from them: I feel a bit empty at the moment if I think of this all.

You know how much I love every track of HAO… what I think of each one… you know I love the title track (read it here if any): but really this video can be capable or culpable of makin me DISLIKE the song even.

Grrrrr. This “director” is on my DARKER list: terrible, terrible and terrible: it looks beyond patched up and cheap. EWWWW.

I still love your flair... but that HAO thing HURT, Levine...

Then I thought this shouldn’t prevent me from update finally the blog.

Awww... such a beauty!

Because I have TONS of amazing material to share (you’ll see later, and as per usual random pics are of Adam and Anne from my pretty much infinite collection ;)… this because BEAUTY RULES MY LIFE and they’re a pretty darn fine form of it, which leads to me have pleasure watchin them > which is what this blog is all about: THINGS THAT PLEASE ME ;)) and I love to write bites of my life here, for the pure sake of it (mostly for my foreign friends who can know that way… and this makes my mail exchange virtually VERY MUCH easier ;)), and if I won’t write about it down now I won’t anymore so I just really had to face the reality.

No matter that hurtingly bad surprise… I gotta write what I planned to today.

When I left you on the verge of watching the amazing Lady Gaga gig (really awesome, she’s a great performer/entertainer!) dressed aptly for the event I must say (too bad I lost my tricot hat there and never found it back…), and I would never have thought I would have written down some words again ONLY by now.

Lady Gaga gig (from my plixis from twitter)

I was looking forward to update you about the awesome (help me say it… JUST FANTASTIC and also with proper deeper contents provided by Director…) Première at La Scala, but things just got way too much in to even attempt it now.

DECEMBER IS LIKE AUGUST FOR ME… (just way, way more … “crowded“).

Not even gonna try to put in words how gorgeous he is. WOW.

I don’t have time at all to write… even willing it, I just have tons of dinners/meetings/events to attend and/or prepare and/or organize and then, you know me, it’s not like I belong to Internet.

If I can come through it, fine… if I can’t… FINER.

I love Christmas dearly, you know… all the traditional stuff are mine in the core… and also the kitch-est parts 🙂

These days I have been so completely taken I had also to give up to write in the Lakers Blog (and there you could realize how much it’s REALLY impossible for me to write anywhere, when I can’t make it writing in there!).

I managed to read also because of the iPad/iPhone help on that, but really, there’s not a chance in the world I can have half an hour spare to write anywhere before… you know, before 7th of January I guess ;).

And you know me: I write there very seriously, so I would never step in just to say “heya”.

😉

This is the only post you will get before the 2011 comes (I am sure you saw that coming after this intro, right?)… so it encompasses my wishes for Xmas and my best wishes for a very Happy and Rockin End+Start of the Year.

I had an amazing 2010.

Found this one from one of my Italian Fashion Magazines: Anne in all her glory 😉

An year fulfilled with all the possible magic a soul can ask or dream for.

And in 2011…

Well, in 2011 I marry so I expect even more 😉

Tomorrow morning Karim parents arrive (yep, they couldn’t make it sooner than that… but no worries.. they stay until Karim and I leave for our amazing time ALONE for New Year’s Eve in Montecarlo and Nice, so we have time for Family after all), and today I finally completed the Xmas gift bringin to all friends.

Sure, these weeks I have been wandering through parties but to my special crew members, that wasn’t the proper way to exchange OUR gifts (Marghe thought the same which is why yesterday she hosted a ROCKIN Xmas party, which was absolutely wonderful at any rate ;)).

We visited those who couldn’t make it to the mountains last weekend (amazing weather and time… truly special… TRULY. If you read my Twitter – and you SHOULD… ehi!!! I’m nearly at 1500 followers and counting, ya’ll ;)! lol!- you know what I am talkin about ;)) and just landed them a very special thing to let them know how much we treasure them.

Oh… yeah… I wrote “we”.

Right now it comes so natural from my heart & mind to think of me as a double entity, or as a half of an unit… this is the way Karim has completed his miracle on me.

oh, that tongue...

What a wonderful feeling is the one of belonging.

Yeah.

This even if I still love threesomes and I am dirty and kinky… I belong.

To him.

Who loves me also because I am exactly like that 😉 and I never feel ashamed of it 😉 (why should I… I rock, me ;)!).

On these festivities I look forward to my adorable grandmother to teach Karim’s one (yep, she comes along) on how to prepare tortellini.

If you follow me on Twitter, you will see properly what I mean 😉

While we are on Xmas hints, know that my song for Xmas (beside as usual the awesome cover the guys did of John Lennon, of course, song which I created the video for in 2008, but stupid YouTube took it down… no problem, I reposted it in Yahoo videos… ;)) is Coldplay’s Christmas Lights 🙂

Lovely, Sexy Anne with her natural do

The Lovely Four (to not be mistaken with the Lovely Five, of course) have started shakin off the rust before incoming year roading with this awesome song and its adorable video and I am in love as per usual, of course.

I also like Train’s song and Pink‘s Raise Your Glass, and The Killers Xmas Single… but in the end you know those two above songs are the only ones in my book these days of happiness.

Ah! 😉

I really wish to you all a wonderful Xmas time with your family and friends and everyone you love, being near to you and make your hours shine.

Then I wish you all to do a tenth of the sex I will…

Trust me it’d be enough for a magic orgasmic overdose (so make your calculations… lol!)

Oh… yeah… sadly our Country still under Berlusconi: I try to forget it everyday to start with a smile… but then… nightmare comes back.

SIGH.

Now let’s have a little end of the year SPORTY RECAP (sort of… but mostly because I let ages of games pass by with my no -update span… LOL ;))

Okay… As I said, the sporty season so far sees Milan still lead Serie A no matter the latest demise (but ehi… cousins feel way worse don’t they?)

I’m really lukewarm and kinda appalled about us acquiring Cassano (WTF was actually my proper reaction to the news… ewwww) but what can I do.

At the end of the day, I support Milan no matter what (and the main no matter what is actually FORGETTING who the team belongs to… If you wait for me to comment on Berlusconi’s shame which keeps going on… I am trying to part myself from that because otherwise I’d die of inner pain and struggle. While you know… the only one who should die… yeah, YOU GET IT. YOU DO. *sigh*…)

lakers time is always right

About the Lakers.

Wow… there is much to say… I still feel twisted about us… there’s something missing in the puzzle but I have restraint in naming it.

Now Bynum‘s back and that’s a very good thing; but Pau still look strangely averted from games… Lamar has really flourished, and Shannon and the bench Killer B’s are a plus… Kobe still Kobe of course, but somehow he seems working like a very very slow Diesel Engine yet (still amazing, even so).

I write just hours prior of the Xmas Game which should see us prevail after last year shame… but I don’t know what to expect.

Meat are on the rise (hyped rise, still on it) and we SURELY are a better team but we have to prove it and we know in this moment we aren’t in a great shape (it’s not now that counts, but we need it now to win against a team on the rise, don’t we?)

I will update about the results of the Xmas game after the New Year steps in, all I wanna say is now and forever:

GOOOOOO LAKERS!!!!!!!!!

We Are The Best Team/Franchise On Planet Earth (and Milky Way Galaxy… 😉 ) and I am a PROUD Purple&Gold Freak.

His Hotness in His Shine

Right.

Now roll in for recaps of all the games played in the span of time where I did not update the blog.

Let’s get backwards till December 3, for the home game against Sac Town, that we won (well… winning against the Kings is not exactly shocking but that moment we were rolling in a deep struggle so… better we brought it home!)

A few days after, it was again a home game against this time the Washington Wizards: another win for a less than perfect Lakers team, but a win is a win is a win, of course.

The day after, December 8th, we were starting our road trip, except that we were still at Staples Center, being guests of the Clippers. We won, but really just thanx to a magic Fish play, and I have to say finally Clippers have a great player to watch.

That win… rang some bell just like a loss, too.

Her Hotness in Her Shine 😉

We hadn’t to wait much for a proper loss though… as soon as the proper road trip started in Chicago on December 10th, Bulls bullied us enough to make us have another scar on our skin in this less than pleasant phase of the regular season.

I could feel Kobe’s anger and rage by miles then…

And the rest of the five team we faced on the road had to, because after that game we won against the New Jersey Nets, then again against the Washington Wizards, which signed last moments of Sasha Vujacic as a Laker, as he’s now a Farmar’s joiner with the Nets exactly (note: I predicted MONTHS ago Maria Sharapova would have allowed him to move ONLY to Nets or New York…See? I just KNOW ;)) subsequently we rode Indiana Pacers and also poor Philadelphia Sixers, before wrapping it up in Toronto against the Raptors (minus an absent and injured Bargnani).

The road trips are never easy for the Lakers…

And this year in particular… we had to be tested way beyond the mere responsive tests on the floor.

There’s something more going on with us… and hopefully the final output of all this will be cheering us. The right way, I mean.

An appalled Adam watches Lakers demise against the Bucks, 21 december 2010 (Anne is lovely though, at leat ;)...)

First game home after the run has then been, just hours ago, pre-Christmas one against the Bucks, that could have led at least to lovely courtside watchin, right?

Yes, because of course ASquared went there attending (they had spent day searching for sunglasses… you’ll see later on. Shopping before Caribbean gigs? I bet ;)).

And just like it has already happened… it’s not exactly like Lakers helped their evening at ALL.

At least I hope they again fought the bitter taste the game left with lots, and I mean LOTS of Good Old Sexual Healing because the game was a TRAGEDY.

Obscene.

A constant craving for all that is wrong…

Kobe even got EJECTED for a tech foul (he basically fucked off the referee…)

Really… it’s a pain to depict how bad it was so I better let images speak themselves.

Yep.

This game at least, being the latest one, has the ~~pleasurable~~ worthy (not really, it’s more like a nightmare before Xmas without the grace of Tim Burton…) plus of an encompassed video directly here (while the previouses have the LINK to the video, as you saw):

Although for instance Adam has a different view on it... I just can’t really feel like we lost this neither due to referees (they were bad, but they always are) nor because we were focusing on the Heat already.

It was not referees fault if we did play painfully, dear lovely Seraphine.

Adam at Staples Center, hours ago.

There’s something wrong with us in this moment and it is that wrong from a while.

Pau isn’t really himself… and the way Kobe reacted tells me he feels deeper that this untangible (or maybe very tangible) malaise that we’re having is way more mattering than we’d like it to be.

I am really (albeit JUST a BIT) worried…

No… not about the Heat or anyone else.

As I always say, it’s all and always and ONLY about us.

If we deliver, there is no space to win for NOBODY, because we’re by far the best team.

But the point is that: it’s OUR fault this situation because we’re NOT delivering at all, not even by percentage.

I feel this year everyone thinks that just because we’re used to do it, we can rely again on the “switch on/off” factor, even worse, that we can do it even better and with less effort, just because our roster has actually improved (and it has).

Well… WAKE UP CALL my Purple&Gold Knights: the switchin works only through bleed /sweating, not by divine imposition.

Kobe Bryant reacts to referee in Lakers vs Bucks game: he'll get ejected.

Our complacency is like a bad cancer this year so far and in no way leaves me quiet nor serene.

Of course yeah, I STILL BELIEVE.

I will always believe.

But it’s in OUR camp.

If we fail… WE DO.

Technically others would beat us but the awful truth it’d be that WE DID NOT DO OUR BEST.

And this would make my Lakers Heart severely wounded.

So raise up.

Do it.

I'd like to be all of his stage gear: micstand, guitar, microphone... *whatevs* 😉

Lotta love, Z&K (who just had the best sexual healing today, staying naked home alone all day… because this is what you do your only free day of Xmas time before relatives stick into the picture, right?)

And here we are.

As per usual, Lakers introduce us to some music time, quite aptly, since the courtside connection just depicted.

I have updated the bites of Coldplay up above, (awwwwwwww… can’t wait can’t wait can’t wait to hear Chris live soon again… I’ll love their 2011 I know already… *sweet child of mine* ;)) in my life chronicles because as per usual the Maroon5 stuff is gonna have so many videos and as I anticipated a lil Xmas candy Plus that to interfere with it with whatever else, no matter how great, would be unfair 😉

As I said, it’s Xmas post and Happy New Year post so I have decided to put up a couple of gifts you find with difficulty elsewhere ( I treated them so at least is not a stealing of too great material).

Let’s say that we left lovely Maroon 5 and ASquared at the start of the month, right?

I was saying November seemed to have treated them right, but you will see how December did as well.

They’re just so darn cute and adorable together… (yes, I write it about 100000 times a update… what can I do… it’s how I feel ;))

My good Goodies Time start with this small piece of Interview, which is peculiar only for the fact Adam did record it JUST AFTER THAT FAMOUS NAKED Photoshot (that we can’t wait to see in spread right?):

Oh… the beauty… 😉

Guys also updated us with the third installment of the Palm Trees&Power Lines series (I forgot to create the mpeg video because I receive it through the iPhone / iPad app of Maroon5, so you take it from their Youtube… 😉 Sorry ;)) :

What I start with is the December issue of Los Angeles Magazine, because Adam’s one of the 50 Los Angelenos D.O.C. interviewed about the town:

The scanning of Adam Levine's interview in the Los Angeles Magazine, Dec 2010 Issue

Yeah… I know… it’s a really awful scanning but I did it for actual copyright purpose.

Adam on December 3rd, 2010 - Miracle On State Street, Chi-town 😉

Do as me: BUY it 😉 After all all my hints here are up for makin you people BUY THE DARN THING (a fan should?) after I give out suggestions.

My physical copy reached me thanx to Mash (you rock man); but before it I also bought a digital copy (well, I ad to subscribe for a year, but after all the magazine is lovely AND I have a house in LA, so it’s gonna be useful after all ;)).

I am also awaiting for the number of Guitar Magazine with James on it (found in Mondadori Milan, but it was a damaged copy so they’re changin it), because I am a completist about them FULLY of course ;).

So, get ready now…

Recap days trip in notes and visual is about to start properly and believe you’re gonna LOVE IT a lot.

A whole lotta…

… *love* 😉

If you wonder, December has been very freezy not only in Italy, but in USA too.

Evidence in Adam’s reactions to his traveling outdoors facings 😉

On December 3 guys were back in Chicago for The Miracle on State Street annual event play, while Anne was instead enjoying elsewhere a very intense massage (lol… her descriptions are so graphic and adorable…) 😉 beside being logically very excited for another minor thing ;):

Gal's shining right?

She’s so incredibly cute (and actually very humble, which doubles the cuteness) ;).

No need to point out that the most proud boyfriend EVER did not waste time to bless his wonderful half, and so there you go, get ready to melt again (I do every time they show affection towards one another… gosh I’m such a sucker for them… I know it’s absurd and ridiculous from my side but I have developed this straight and straight about them I thought “let them stay together forever because perfect beauty and skill should match always ONLY another perfect beauty and skill”… and surely they fit the profile of my preferences, don’t they?):

Isn't he absolutely adorable once again? Oh, the power of love 😉

Awwww: I just can’t cope with so much love (I lie… I sure can… and I do adore it ;)).

Anyway, guys were at Miracle On State Street and this is some of what did happen:

Error

and also this at your ease:

Error

This video doesn’t exist

I could witness their live gigs about for an eternity.

Hewl… yeah. 😉

While guys were around to play, Anne was in New York and really really excited to decorate her Xmas tree.

She truly loves it and showed it several times… updating us through her twitter multiple times (including the sweet proper pictures. I mostly love the way she’s always so down to earth and sunny in her mood. So enchanting, really).

Another one of her plus, I never get bored in tellin it, is her skill for comedy (much like her boyfriend… also there they look so much like a perfect match ;)): her talkin iPhone friends are growing and allegedly they’re getting kind of spelling lessons that are shocking EVEN to Adam (and that says pretty much all, being Adam cussing Prince… lmao!)

While Maroon5 were actually performing in Chicago, CMT (Country Channel) broadcasted the Artist Of The Year Event that you know about from the previous post (because it was performed days before).

Adam Levine gets cheered by Taylor Swift at CMTAOTYA- 1

Yeah… I know…

They covered FRIGGIN Taylor Swift.

Oh, man.

Now don’t get me wrong: I find the girl REALLY cute (she’s sleek and stylish and looks like a model which is a plus for me); she writes her stuff and although she really can’t sing live she has some flair.

It’s just that I really really REALLY can’t stand hype and I completely HATE fakeness and she seems a master in BOTH.

Sure it’s a sign of brain… but I can’t value what I despise… therefore although Mine rendition from the boys was AWESOME and brought the kinda flat song to whole new heights, I couldn’t stand the “OMFGAWWWD” constant expression Taylor was obnoxiously acting the whole time they performed it.

I am sure she loved it all GENUINELY.

But I still can’t reckon any ounce of genuineness in her, which is a set off.

Then you know… Country and I don’t match.

Anyway, THIS IS THE WHOLE SHOW.

Enjoy:

And now, let me serve you with a Xmas Candy.

Being now in sorta “Country” territory, I bring up for your enjoyment a WONDERFUL Country (and CMT) related old piece from start of 2008, when Adam and Maroon5 did a Crossroads Episode with Country Lady Sara Evans.

IWBSBL times. Those of the Crossroads thingie, too 😉

I have ALWAYS loved everything about that episode.

First, Adam’s look in that period was turning me on like Fire on Dried Bushes (insert all tongue in cheeks you like), at an even higher rate than he normally does – and which is already like the maximum human can take – : it’s like in Goodnight Goodnight video (which is my fav ever of their videos), but with his face actually shaved.

I ADORE him that way… the head shaved that lenght makes me wanna hold his head and caress it… caress it… till putting nails in it almost and Holy Sky… his perfect facial cheekboned outlines are just shining with that look, in a stunning way.

The best you get from his flawless, noble face gets so emphasized that way it’s unreal .

Okay…

Flawless Anne V.

I’ll stop (you know man turns me on… ;))… but it’s hard ;).

Anyway I love the whole of the sung parts of the show (also the extra on Wake Up Call).

There’s so much of Mr. Levine there, in such a short amount of time, it’s properly mindblowing 😉

I love to pieces the interviews parts, where he said that famous “I won’t do this forever” thing (and he said it right: if you wanna have a serious family, you can’t be all over the world. He just shows once again how smart and great he is. He won’t leave music cos music is HIM… but sure willing to have a real family, he will soon or later stop being what he is now, to be some other kind of musically engaged and devoted man, still. I love his mind and heart there even more, because he just gets so real there, and he’s so totally himself…).

Then there are two pluses: the face he makes when Sara Evans says to him she is the mother of three (and you see so clearly the “damn… I want to bang you… and now how? Oh… let’s see anyway” – kinda look… ;)), and then the completely AMAZING impersonation he does of Fabio (the regrettable Model For Sexless Middle-Aged Ladies Peeps).

HILARIOUS.

Adam is pure genius, always (the lovely ode to James’ hair desrves mentions too ;)).

So…

THIS IS THE COUNTRY I LOVED MAROON5 IN.

Enjoy (for real: editing is mine and thank you Meli for the pre-edit work ;)):

*in love* 😉

Okay, let’s get back on track now, after this lovely break in that exiles from the calendar we follow 😉

After the Chicago thing, and not before serving Mr Tellez (Adam’s assistant) a certain intense post gig threat (lol) guys moved to Buffalo for the KissMas Bash, on December 4th, and of course I can provide you some from there as well.

Enjoy a link to a Charice snippet involving them (click over), and then an interview:

and then a snippet of their gig, too (awww) :

Error

In the freezy town is anyone surprised Adam actually searched for an EATERY?

How he remains so miraculously skinny is a wonder to me… and after all he candidly confessed the only way he really loves to use his fame is the chance to reserve in restaurants “because I love to eat“.

WUC still frame. Drool freely. 😉

I fear in time of hunger he could easily eat me (no okay… that risks to start a whole lotta of NOT ALLOWED thoughts… I better come with another metaphor…) up ;).

At least he isn’t the only one enjoying his passion wherever he goes: James for instance had more tennis time also in Buffalo, too: *ACE*!! 😉

As models live with a suitcase ready, Anne in the maintime was already bound to leave her greatly put up real tree, heading to (again frosty place) Paris.

Adam and the boys instead could move back for 48 of rest in Los Angeles, which was more than cherished by them all of course; oh, and someway Adam managed to remind us all that he still have troubles in dealing with airplanes so constantly… ;).

His first eating stop back in LA?

Italian Place, Dan Tana’s.

Of Course. Then a check of the Green Hornes at The Trobadour.

Once again… all about friendly happy times and we all know how much he treasures those ;).

As the lovers were flying away in opposite directions (awww… both their jobs are a bless, aren’t they?), something actually flew the RIGHT direction to me: I’m speakin about the awesome BOOK and Movie of Andrew Zuckerman, MUSIC.

Man that is just ASTONISHINGLY AMAZING material.

I won’t share copyrighted stuff (just like it happens with all related with Vevey Forever) but I post a collage of things because if you are a music lover, beside being a Maroon5 fan, man you GOTTA own this.

It’s really awesome:

Music: by Andrew Zuckerman. JUST BUY IT. REALLY. A+++++

Word.

Probably I was too excited about the book then because when Anne in Paris asked for a tip for something to do, I adviced her about something she had DONE already when she actually was in Paris for the Fashion Week back in Fall (and I remembered it clearly as soon as she actually told me. Still, she always manage to be simply adorable and graceful in anything she says, so after all it was okay. I am dumb, but she’s lovely, and always ready to shout out good positive vibes, in a very inspiring way ;))

On a “good vibe note”, you will probably be happy to know that Ryan Murphy (Glee mastermind and creator) has confirmed to Rolling Stones that Misery will be in the spring renditions.

I didn’t know Murphy and Adam were mates; but this of course doesn’t surprise me after all:

So, Misery will be on Glee. I like that. 😉

COOOOOOOL. 😉

After the two (well, one and half) spare days in Los Angeles, before jetting off again, Maroon 5 recorded On what people will actually see TONIGHT, December 22 on CBS (you will see it on these pages with the next update… of course), namely A Home For The Holidays 12th Special for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption.

A Home For The Holidays - rehearsal

It’s gonna be a lovely lovely performance and so far you can enjoy at least a couple of pictures (awwww, red is not only Anne’s color, but also Adam’s ;)!) and also some twitpics they sent from rehearsal, too.

A Home for the Holidays 2010 - 1

It’s always amazing when their art matches their hearts, ain’t it?

A Home For The Holidays 2010 - 2

After that Adam *graciously* (no 😉 but he still so cute when he “dork-izes” up ;)) let us see what his boundaries are when it comes to the concept of… dirty.

Dirty SHOES, that’s it 😉 (you wish… lol!).

Nothing groundbreakin there, if it weren’t that he was actually bound to… erm… LAND AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

For serenading Obama and the Family during the lightning of their Xmas Tree (the day after…).

Quite aptly, 9th of December is the date of Lennon’s death so the song they chose was PERFECT to perform, with amazing pluses on that made Adam go awing.

Divine Seraphine... and a regrettable look at the White House 😉

And those were JUST the things happening on the 8th!!!

*sigh*… THESE are the boys that I love… not that awful thing at the start of this post (I can’t cope still… I will heal… in some more hours/days… but now it’s a bullet in my head); all skillful and sparkling talent…

There was a bunch of hours for Anne to reach back for the event… but while in Paris she managed to be again very very sweet and cute (California Gurl in pectore… of course!), but then she RUSHED to where she belongs, namely aside the sweetest of man with the sweetest of voices (okay, the White House occurrency was fine on its own, let’s admit it ;)…).

The morning of her man started still awing at the people singing along to him (awww… cute!), which included also lovely Sara Bareilles, one of the FAMILY ;).

Hard not to agree with Bones Mastermind Hart Hanson on the fact 9th of December 2010 of Adam was better than everyone’s average… 😉

Hard also not to agree with Anne’s enthusiastic approach to reaching the White House… 😉

She was also enjoying Santa at The White House (sounds like a Will Farrell movie title… ;)) and she was amazingly joyous in updating us about that and everything else she did experience that day: I love her way with words… :).

Just like the boys, of course 🙂

Adam seemed particularly impressed with the kid winner of XFactor (the one that beat Susan Boyle in the UK), and of course he loved to meet those other three he mentions you know… Obama, BB, Michelle… 😉

So, this is a collage (yep, that’s BB King… ;))

Maroon 5 at the White House. 9 December 2010 😉

The performances were amazing…

So now… enjoy the whole show and get festive (this is the apt post, isn’t it?):

Okay… as the gig finished, the guys moved straight up to New York, as the day after they had to perform on Jimmy Fallon.

This you see here is not a homeless riding on a fast train… is actually Adam with all of his bandmates and his fiancé gear to keep him warm (it’s a messy pic, but at the same time so cute… :)):

I wonder what did Anne wear, as her furry vest-coat is on Adam? 😉

As her man was finding solace in some nap, she had time to verbalize her emotions regarding her rushing to DC (and believe, 8 hours flight from Paris just to spend a bunch of hours there and then get straight back to NY ain’t a joke…I travel and I know what I ma talkin about! That’s love ;)), expressing joy and pride and mostly grace (as she usually does).

Maroon 5 on Fallon Live

The day of Jimmy Fallon Show was a great experience for everyone: for Adam, for Questlove, for Jimmy Fallon, for any famous attendant, for the crew… basically it was a great amazing time and you sure see a lot in the video I will post but NOT ALL OF HOW GREAT IT ACTUALLY was, because some of the best was behind scenes.

There is also the moment of Dee Snider’s controversy which wasn’t that controversial: Dee got rebuked by his wife and his son for havin behaved dully, then apologized himself to Adam, praised him (but not his band), and got the usual AWESOME ANSWER by Adam himself on the whole thing.

Man is so full of virtues.

He can handle stuff with class effortlessly.

He also probably really like Dee Snider actually.

Anyway, this is the show, enjoy:

After the taping, Anne and Adam enjoyed New York City nightlife.

First evening they went to Adam’s fav Standard top (the former Boom Boom Room); while during the day after, Adam bought a new jacket because they went also to the premiere of The Fighter (awesome movie?), looking just HOT.

AdamLevineAnneVTheFighterNY

Because well, there’s not really any other way they could look 😉

One more from the premiere

Right?

😉

The day after the time together it was again time to say farewell for the two lovebirds, because Adam and Maroon 5 had to move to Florida, to rockin out Tampa first (the day after it’d be Orlando).

Adam didn’t miss chances to quote one of his fav movies while moving towards his destination…

white fits Florida 😉

Both towns were unnaturally cold (unnaturally being that Florida you know), and Adam you know is sensitive to chill…

Anyway check both some Tampa Goodies (from links this times… you’ll forgive me? Pics!!! Forgive? Right ;))

And also some Orlando ones.

About Orlando I had to discover an irking thing: Adam befriends Mike Posner, namely the worst JT copycat ever (and I don’t even like JT… MEH. MEH. MEH. I won’t like this… I know.)

What was Anne doing while she was in New York still?

SHE HAD A PHOTOSHOT FOR VICTORIA’S SECRET: can’t wait to see it 😉

Post Florida, it was well due time for some Xmas Holiday time so Maroon 5 got back to Los Angeles (PJ has become father again and he missed the Florida times… he will be back in the Caribbean ones and Anne – who had a long writing cards moment earlier that day – was so cute to ask while complimenting and congratulating him on his beautiful newborn… awww… feeling maternal sweet Fairy? That’d be SO awesome!!!).

Anne V: Sports Illustrated BodyPaint (STUNNING)

Adam used first night home to visit Trousdale along good friends (though there was a bit of a hissy fissy moment inside, leading to a pouring out caught by cameras), and enjoyed straight some familiar time (although well… you know Hollywood nights can be rockin in many ways… sometimes TOO MANY ways ;)).

He didn’t have to endure solitude much longer, because his half flew rapidly by his side, as expected and as it’s fair to be (collective AWWWWWW thank you ;)) because who could be parted from him too long?

Even Frankie gets depressed when he’s away…

Anne had a première moment by herself in New York the night before flying into Adam’s arms (look, she’s STUNNING, as a gooddess…!!!) at the Little Fockers Premiere (less marv movie than the Fighter though).

BEFORE WE GET INTO LOVERS MODE, please take note of this awesome Photography Contest Maroon5 have up to talented people to enjoy: PRESS AND read and you won’t regret it.

So… Can we guess from Adam’s tweet that new driver Anne could get a Prius for Xmas?

Who knows 😉 Certainly the lovebirds found a way to deal with some really BAD Los Angeles weather (LA is under the biggest floodings in elephant memory… is it raining from a week… but that ain’t affected them, because beside a small note of the obvious, they wandered hand in hand… and tongue on tongue everywhere around Hollywood and Beverly Hills.)

Adam Levine and Anne Vyalitsyna in Beverly Hills, 18 december 2010

Anne even made it to a further photoshot sesh (oh… can’t wait to see this either!!!), before dedicating herself only to the one she gotta take perfect care of (lucky, lucky, lucky gal… ;))

Singing In The Rain? Burt Bacharach? Awww 🙂

Karim made a great portrait of the two angels kissing…

They are so incredibly beautiful and perfect together... ❤

They went shopping and Adam noted he likes to play Jewish Santa (lol), and that after all there’s no point in having if you won’t sharing.

I so agree.

Before I forget, taken in all this lovey bliss… Maroon5 have been chosen for The Critics Choice Awards, and it means on January 12 they will tape it for VH1:

YES!!!

Adam also shot a Funny Or Die video that we hope to see soon… and there, his alter ego is this fella… BRODY (lmao…), allegedly at Bardot? That’s the place he goes at on that day but until we see it we can’t know for sure 😉

Prepare to enjoy the last collages that come from hours ago: what they did prior to the Lakers Shame that you know from above.

Remember, in a bunch of hours there is the broadcast of a Home For The Holidays on CBS.

And now… enjoy Beauty and Love.

I’ll try to forgive you for that AWFUL Hands All Over Video, Adam…

I know in the end you and your voice win anyway: darn ;).

Hope you and the guys have a blast these days, and look forward to meet you several times in Feb/March.

Have all a great Xmas time and a super amazing End of The Year and Start of The Year.

Catch you in 2011: the year of me becoming a wife in Japan.

W-O-W.

One of Thanxsgiving centerpieces at Karim's parental house in Manhattan, November 2010

Some days, a lot of fun, a lot of food and – also – some good working days later (it feels incredibly cool to go to working meetings in Manhattan… really… I was so happy to hang down there with Brian and the guys I didn’t even mind that was takin away half of my GREAT Black Friday shopping, or the whole almost of the subsequent Saturday!), we’re back to the usual and nice routine, working in a freezy, sometimes snowy Milan and waiting for the GREAT Lady Gaga gig this incoming Sunday AND also the amazing Scala Première with Wagner.

Actually to prepare for that, I was spending reading hours in New York – still do it now that I’m back home – checking again the Eddan (in Swedish of course, with English text aside) and that, like it always happen, easily lead me to read for about the 13th time the whole of Lord Of the Rings (that in English and in Italian too… I love his style in all languages).

I actually read all Tolkien every December (and for every Tolkien I mean everything ever published under his name), because it feels very… fireplace&frosty related to me.

And then he’s one of my favorite writers ever.

Back to the USA days, it was great to spend this holiday finally getting… into it.

Talkin about good things in bed... Adam Levine, IWBSBL booklet offshots

Karim’s family is obviously very keen to these traditions, but it was honestly a shining family time that I totally felt complete part of.

Oh… and their house in Manhattan is insane.

Wow.

We were planning to check more apartments while there but then the Black Friday shopping took us quite over (always after work though) so in the end we went checking stuff only a bit the first two days (and trust me… on Wednesday chaos in the roads was so huge we didn’t really put our best efforts there at all).

We are in contact with the people we need anyway so some more chances for a check will arise soon.

I will have to fly newly to New York soon anyway.

We have a couple of ideas, but since the prices there are nuts, we will wait for something that WE REALLY LOVE.

Okay that we have money, but this doesn’t mean we like to throw them away uselessly.

Modesty is the key to a healthy life balance.

When back in Italy my first stop were Swifty and mum&dad…

At evening, that we spent with them, we watched the last episode of the awesome Vieni Via Con Me and this was my fav part of it all (the whole show was as usual fantastic):

Really, the list of great Italians‘ things made me drop my jaw off by amazement (Roby Baggio!!! Pasolini!!! Benigni!!! So deserved :)!) and then the list of Tobagi‘s daughter just made me cry.

Today our Country is in dismay but hopefully Berlusconi will end his shameful and disgustive run and presence soon enough.

Farewell, Mario Monicelli The Great

Sadly, just during the show we learnt that Mario Monicelli took off his own life to not being submitted to another’s will about when he was his due time.

We’ve lost the true Father of the best Italian Comedy.

On Tuesday evening Karim and I watched a marathon of some of his greatest movies and we plan to keep on all week long.

Rest In Peace, you genius.

Italy misses yet another true artist and a vitriolic, yet deep and senseful insight on its cracks and beauties, something that each youngster around should get educated into and at and throughout.

Karim shed a tear learning of him passing away.

I did too.

We come writing after a back to back sleepless nights because both on Tuesday and Wednesday games were around 2 am.

Adam and Anne at Lakers vs Bulls. NOW LOOK HIS TROUSERS. They're... erm... not fully zipped up? 😉 Did they had a quickie after the NBA Fan Of The Week interview? 😉

Considering on Wednesday we went out with the lab crew and we arrived home at 1 am… let’s just say in the past two days we haven’t slept much.

Also because Lakers did not really facilitate that (*rolls eyes*)…

I hope these days of zero sleep won’t compromise my incoming weeks of fun…

It’s just that you know me… I never say NO to fun and friends; I never say NO to live music; I never say NO to my sport passions; I never say NO to anything that I feel passionate about.

And you also know that when any of these things don’t exactly go my way, I need raw Sexual Healing to let the frustration go.

That of course happens especially with Sport stuff (because really, I never experienced any frustration in the other departments in my whole life, thank God!)

Therefore if you try to decode my message above, through witness of the Lakers… You get that there have been a certain number of occasions recently when I had to rely on my favorite anti-stress therapy.

Not that I lament a thing there, but still..

I hope in a stopping of the reasons I have to turn to that kind of safety for my soul for ;).

Never forget. Aids Still Kill.

I also take this good occasion to remind you all that yesterday it was World Aids Day, and beside the fact Coldplay finally released for Red One new music to celebrate the occasion (nice song, but not earth-shattering, still you all should buy it because it’s for a very worthy cause), I also felt the need to point out all charities that were available.

Aids still kill.

Please, don’t ever forget it and never stop to help those in need about it.

Please.

Do it.

Okay… I tried to postpone but you know it’s coming don’t you?

You must be trained about my way to compose posts here by now 😉

Let’s get into sport asap (even though this time at least the first sporty bite intertwines FORCEDLY with Divine Adam and lovely Anne’s chronicles… and you will see why very soon ;)) and let’s start from where I stopped last time, therefore with the awesome win against finally a worthy opponent…

Take a look at Lakers takin over Chicago Bulls:

In the picture you’ve seen enlightened by a heart (I know, it’s cheesy… AND I love it ;)) Adam and Anne witnessing the amazing Mamba scoring…

Kobe shots, Adam and Anne Watch

Adam and Anne arrive at Staples for Lakers vs Bulls 23Nov2010

Later on in the chronicles of them you will see how Adam was featured in the NBA Fan Of The Night segment that day, and how… they arrived and stayed and left in their amazing November 23th together.

Man I love those kids together 😉

But now let’s go on… Because happy times in LakerNation kinda stopped there practically, for a long (way too long) while.

There’s so much more you need to learn about and they are a bit of gloomy stories sadly.

Not all shines in Laker Land nowadays…

Contrariwise we are hitting quite a rough patch and we must gather back forces and strengths and focus somehow.

Quickly.

Here are the demises chronicles until today (can’t imagine it can go on any further… but then, you never know).

On the Black Friday (Black for real) Lakers went to Utah to battle the Jazz, and this is what happened:

I therefore expressed my frustration by sexing it up with Karim downtown Manhattan.

Adam and Anne watchin Lakers Chicago Bulls on 23th November 2010

We had a blast.

Yes, he allowed me to play (that way you read about in the previous post) so that after we had the best Sexual Healing therapy… EVER.

I hope Adam and Anne performed something similar because he surely had to feel raging after just moments before our UNFORGIVABLE loss he (like me) had the feeling as usual Kobe (in much Kobe Mode, but still our only Saviour when needed) would have amended for the whole rest of the team (and of the bench) which was unwatchable for large parts of the game.

But no… it ended in loss, which will be really useful afterwards anyway (this is the only way I can look at it…).

It must work so, right?

Gotta put things in a certain perspective.

Then just when we were coming back home, Lakers took their way back home to fight the drizzly Indiana Pacers, and this is what we witnessed (we did some hours later, but there you go) along the whole of Laker Nation:

I was shocked when, landing (LATE) in Malpensa on Monday morning, I got straight that we did lose that TOO!!!

I was really… WTF???

Kobe scores for the 105th time +40 points and we manage to LOSE HOME??

Adam Levine and Anne V attend Lakers vs Pacers game on 28th of November 2010

Again on Sunday???

That rang lots of bells…

Poor Adam and Anne (there again too, but not in the usual places… if it weren’t for Mash sending me straight a Divine A + Sweet Fairy A candid shot from Staples, I would have thought they weren’t there…) allegedly had to perform more Sexual Healing too?

I know Karim and I after watchin the game on taxi on our way back from Malpensa to Milan… DID.

Yep.

We met at lunch time at my lab and just had it in my keyed out little resting room.

*HOT*.

Still… “Lakers… WTF????” was the thought constantly struck on my mind.

If I only knew how I were not even half into pain mode…

I upload blog today and I didn’t neither on Monday nor Tuesday (nor actually Wednesday) evening cos my only blogging time after the demise was of course meant to be a stop (well, TWO actually) in the Lakers Blog.

On Wednesday though, the dinner out prevented me from writing there and in so many ways it was better because You’ll see the unthinkable happened.

Adam and Anne at Lakers Vs Bulls - Nov 23 2010

AGAIN.

I had to mourn with the Family, which I dearly missed in those far away New York days, and I did during latest chat also.

But ehi, for feeling part of an American family I had to follow traditions and it would have felt awkward to say at a certain point: “excuse me ya’ll, got to take my time and spotty-blog a bit” ;)…

I am sure they would have allowed me (they are from Cali after all and they all support Lakers, so…) but honestly in that atmosphere I never really felt like I wanted even to ask.

I was feeling so into family time I let it go (and you can understand how much that means in my world ;)).

So after the double demise, Lakers traveled to Memphis to match up again lil Brother Marc Gasol’s Grizzlies and yes, THIS is what happened (hold yourself… PLEASE):

I WAS SHOCKED AND SHAKED.

Adam and Anne witnessing Lakers vs Bull, 23 Nov 2010

Wow, how awkward, and not usual for me about my adored Purple & Gold Knights.

And the worst thing was that during the last few seconds I was again feeling we wouldn’t have made it.

I felt clearly we weren’t there to feel any lucky or mighty.

Last year instead I was always feeling we were there to subvert the impossible.

Grrr.

But don’t fail yourself: we’ll win this Ring too.

And these hard moments will lead us exactly there.

Mark My Words.

After a resounding Three Losses Streak, this past night we faced Houston Rockets at their home:

Yes… I know… YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IT.

Oldie of Adam witnessing 2008 Lakers Playoffs

I actually can, and that is what makes the whole situation really strange for me.

But as I said, I’m sure we’ll bounce back.

I AM SURE OF IT.

Okay… now it’s time for a lot (and I mean LOT) of cuteness, because after such a gloomy unhappy break we all need it, but especially I DO.

Especially because looks like there’s a lot of people coming round after two days ago CBS broadcasted the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010, showing Adam and the boys cheering on Anne multiple times and therefore raising the question that yesterday made “Adam’s Levine Girlfriend” the most popular Google topic (WOW!!).

Adam and Anne. Gosh... when they smile together sun shines brighter. SOOOO Beautiful they are.

Of course straight after that there started swirling up uncontrolled and idiot news about them being ready to marry or even already expecting a child (PLEASE!!! She’s a model… She won’t feather a baby any quick… though I truly hope they will procreate sooner than later because they’re so beautiful their kids would be SPARKLING) and hilariously some of the pictures of Anne were actually of Angela or of Becky (?? how such shorties could model in catwalks??) and even Maria Sharapova (oh, boy… Internet pics databases… the hell of the unawares… ;)!).

Is it that strange to do some decent web researches before writing idiocities?

Luckily over here we got them together from the very first start… and actually from that first stroll, somebody shared even this link (yep, February 19th, 2010 in Los Angeles… but that was just the first time that month they allowed people to catch them up, as the whole thing started as you know after February 10th…)

Fact is they are blissfully happy together though and surely I wish them all those steps as soon as they’ll like to take them.

his gloriously beautiful smile

But leave them alone… let them be.

They’re a wonderful sight together… no other couple ever pleased me so much that I wasn’t personally a friend of. 😉

I have the whole of the VSFS (and you gotta check from start to end because they keep appearing…) but it comes at the end, because as you know I post things in chronological order here 😉

Lots of videos (and the whole of Taratata) coming today… Literally HOURS of videos. 😉

Before following the timing trail of greatness, let’s step back with a lil LOVELY interview with MICKEY!!! It was released while they were in Amsterdam on November 17th (check previous post) and since I LOVE when Mr. Madden speaks, I put it up straight.

Mickey speaks on papers or radios so rarely, sure it did deserve some kind of highlight here 🙂

Read it and enjoy ;):

Mickey Madden speaks!!! Whooo 😉

After this, and always while we are in “recap” and “trackback” mode, take finally the whole available of Maroon5 RDS Showcase (November 2010) which is not the whole setlist, because the whole setlist was THIS ONE:

the whole RDS setlist

But okay, what you will hear still adorable.

This are the songs in My treatment of layout (it’s one after another, okay?):

And then the interview they did, which I left as it is on the RDS site. Enjoy:

While we’re at tracking back the performances that were just described in past post, it’s now the time to put up the UK Lottery Draw excerpts (order? my friend Marghe signaled me the bites but I’m not sure I put all in order correctly) with Gethin Jones.

Adam is seriously fantabulous there.

Sex on legs. Always.

That was a lot right? And we haven’t even started! 😉

Let’s get back to the start from just where we left, the day of Anne and Adam reaching back Los Angeles (of course together.. and they’ve spent a lot of time together this November… awwww the supercuteness indeed!).

7 days of hotness in Mr. Levine's shape

Adam could barely hold himself thinkin of what he would have done on Wednesday, because sure his first Lakers game live this season was a treat, but so was the Conan O’Brien show.

He adores comedy, you know.

But before that, Maroon5 let us know that the same Wednesday France tv would have aired the episode of Taratata the guys did actually record back in September (check this post about it… it was when Adam and Anne finally re-met in Paris after a month apart… ;)).

I think the whole show and the interview was AMAZING…

Especially the lovely part in the interview where Adam, after the interviewer was asking him about his dozens of female conquers, and if that about him had changed at all, he just pointed out his girlfriend was there (awww… “petite amie”… sounds so lovely in French).

Check this LONG video of the whole Taratata, and sorry if you don’t know French…

You must learn it (so should Adam, but we all know he’s way too lazy to try it ;)… Jesse maybe just forgot it 😉 right?) in order to decode the special video montage during the show.

Beside the live of Maroon5 songs, there is also the duet of Bang Bang with K’naan of course.

Enjoy, folks… it’s long and totally awesome;):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

Another totally awesome thing from the Taratata special is the final video request by Adam and Jesse, showing us and reminding us how much Mr. Levine adored/adores one of my iconic bands, Oasis (still mourn that they split, and I am overexcited that Noel is RECORDING!!!! Whooo-hooo!).

When he gets thoughtful in pictures... I love the vibe entirely.

This is nothing that should surprise us and in fact, transcended by empathy about the request, I just created a video with 170 pictures of Adam and the guys (and Adam and Anne somewhere to0), some drawings of Karim, and put in Maroon 5 covers of Oasis’ Don’t Look Back In Anger – sorry for the radio audio quality – and Hello, from Live On Friday The 13th. Then I closed it with a real Oasis jam ;).

Thought it was better than an anonymous YouTube video… Enjoy ;):

Error

This video doesn’t exist

Awww 😉

While they were moving from London to LA, it appeared the list of their World tour, encompassing among the rest Australia, Indonesia, Santo Domingo, Porto Rico (check their website, okay?).

I also found this interview that I quite liked:

The morning after their arrival back in Los Angeles, Adam and Anne became very chatty, letting us step into their world together.

I still appalled anytime Adam quotes classic albums, a too wide majority of his “fans” don’t get a clue about it.

What a bunch of illiterate ~~idiots~~ folks…

The times he must shake head had to be countless with some people (Sticky Fingers is one of the most iconic Rolling Stones Album, you darn mo**ns… Fans like you are better being lost than taken…Geez).

Anne V for SS 2011 Louis Vuitton Campaign (the one she shot in mid September in Capri) 😉

Talkin about music, then, that day Adam actually went to a studio (Henson one again?) to record a collaboration that he wasn’t sharing details of, but that gave him “Very Positive Feelings”.

Can’t wait to know/hear about it!!!!

The morning after, we further step into lovely Adam and Anne shine of mutual love.

They woke up and she tweeted this:

Anne wakin up in Adam's house in LA, 23 november 2010

And then this… (awww, I just can’t cope with so much… I’d squeeze them like two teddy bears…):

awww... he made himself breakfast for her... so adorable 😉

After which he replied so (weeks earlier he was debating with his friends how much his eggs were best eggs ever… ;)) to her:

best couple ever. god bless them.

I feel all kind of butterflies about them.

I have rooted for them straight… the very first sight I caught of Adam smiling for her THAT open way, she conquered me.

And you know which fix I have with Mr. Levine… but she’s like… a person you cannot hate onto.

Too gracious… and so beautiful.

Adam mini collage plus

They’re completely perfect for one another…

So much, that when Adam left to go to rehearsal for the Conan show of that day (the show is recorded during daytime to be broadcasted at late evening, ad it’s taped in Burbank, so he had to move quickly after that breakfast), and she took some parking/driving lessons in the maintime, the fact that she hummed one of HIS cars in the process was certainly forgiven by him.

How eras change!! 🙂

We all know how much Adam loves his cars, and everything that is “motor” related so the fact she can even crash them is a perfect measure of how much he loves her, in fact.

When the reharsal became backstage, and after Anne of course joined her beau, Maroon 5 taped their performance (awesome) and so, as you expect, you can actually watch it here.

I actually loved Hart Hanson‘ (Bones creator) tweet at Adam about the outfit he would have worn during the show (yep, it is a reference to what you’ve seen in the previous post), but then he was dressed.

TIGHTLY (oh, man…).

Enjoy ;):

As you know, after the taping of Conan Adam and Anne went to the Lakers vs. Chicago Bulls basketball game.

Adam was very happy to finally check his first Lakers game of the year LIVE, (you’ve seen the pictures up), but another thing that made him happy, and his lady VERY proud and sharing as well, was that he actually also went interviewed for the NBA Fan Of the Week show.

AWESOME… Check it (isn’t he so totally amazing? Oh dear… too bad after that game he had to suffer what we all Lakerholics did… from the stars to stables… but we’ll get back up to starred sky soon, no question!)

After that we learnt once more about Adam (and Anne’s there agreeing too) passion for sushi; I love that he loves mostly Italian and Japanese food (well, when he doesn’t go junk food, which it happens pretty often… if he hadn’t that metabolic fastness he possesses, he would be obese ;)), because… well, I’m Italian with a Japanese crush ;).

Obviously.

Anne V for Sports Illustrated. Wouldn't you allow her as well everything? 😉

The Thursday it was Thanxgiving.

Such an important family time you know.

Adam acknowledged well, and openly, how much he has to be thankful for.

Doesn’t go difficult to catch what (and WHO) was making him particularly grateful in those hours.

I really enjoyed to think that the two lovers were together that day especially.

As you can see, Anne’s just so simple, adorable, truly down to Earth type of girl and she totally sounds and appears as the perfect companion for Adam.

She is that kind of woman who can keep a man, especially when a bit messy, in line with tenderness and plus she can make him laugh (because she can be as cutely dorky as actually also Adam gets very often).

Then of course, being looking as a Fairy Goddess, she has all other qualities any man could ask for, hasn’t she?

The day after Thanxgiving, while they were about to enjoy last hours together (for that week span ;)), Adam tweeted something that some of his fans found strange or unexpected:

Wasn't crystal clear he has it?

He's just chemically&physically unique. Naturally.

Adam’s ADD is certainly a bland form of it, but in many many ways, anyone observing him, or getting how much hyperactive and rebellious he naturally is can understand how some of his fascinating, unique antics come also from the way that disorderly attention plays within him.

I am sure no one thinks he is strange or anything… his symptoms are actually very much in line with TONS of other artists’ ones, and he is such a greater cutie due to those sides of his behavior, it’s hard to picture him with a dysfunction, rather than with a flamboyant persona that has nothing border-ly about it (and to me, there’s nothing border-ly about him) .

His gorgeousness doing yoga. A very slow activity, that re-balances system.

Many of the best musicians, actors, play-writers, and a fair majority of past centuries most prolific and genius poets were clearly ADD subjected.

I am a chemist and a biologist and to me that side of Adam is just a sign Nature wanted him special and peculiar.

And then we get to enjoy his totally off the way sitting down style 😉

I’m sure you understand why he NEEDS to be a musician and also why he enjoys the focusing of yoga that much; you probably also get why he’s so impulsive and sexually charged (that is an often related need of ADD people, too), and maybe also why he finds the slowing down power of pot that intriguing (I won’t ever follow him there, but he doesn’t kill anyone with that).

His fast mind slowing down helps him to relax: therefore anything that holds that power is a healing gift for him.

Again… in all of his lyrics you can guess about these dynamics… well, if you’re smart enough and educated enough at least.

I thank above for creating such a lovely man, so full of talent, so that he could turn his uniquely chaotic self into an uniquely inspiring master to many people out there.

Anyway, enough of this (I still appalled on how much ignorant about life topics some of his “fans” are… how could they not get he could have easily been a subject of that? It ain’t such a deal, get over it…) and back to the last hours the two lovers could spend together in Los Angeles before having to move to the East Coast for different working tasks.

Too bad Lakers really did not help them in feeling too quiet… but then maybe they just enjoyed to sex the disappointment up after (Karim and I surely did 😉).

Surely as per usual Adam gets the most romantic and lyrical when he’s with Anne.

And as per usual, his native town truly sets him up for being the best he can be.

Check also LA Magazine December about it if you can:

LA Magazine Dec. 2010

Past that night, he let us know he was heading to Nashville openly; Anne was instead bound to reach Savannah, for what we did learn the days after was a photo session for Ralph Lauren.

How Awesome!!!

Ralph Lauren = Totally Cool.

her grace is undeniable

Airport time always makes Adam chatty, and he did also because Anne’s flight was prior two abundant hours compared to his.

He then teased us up.

A lot.

I love his way to be sexually charged 24/7.

I so do.

Adam in December is also featured in Rolling Stone, because he shared his Fav 10 List (about the Police ;)):

Adam shares his unbound Police Love with Rolling Stone Mag

James instead is gracing Premier Guitar Magazine:

James Valentina for Premier Guitar Mag december 2010 - Click Over And Read

Props up 😉

Also interesting is this auction that goes up in December for the Grammy Foundation… if you don’t know what to get for Xmas ;):

click to get the link!

As they landed in Nashville, Maroon 5 met straight some legend.

Anne's second outfit (my fav!!)

I was thinkin they were there at the CMT Artist Of The Year Awards to honor Lady Antebellum by that point… you will see in a while I was wrong.

Also, it seems that Adam keeps being very inspired about writing lately (who wouldn’t be in his shoes…), this regardless of places or weather actually.

While being apart, on that 30th of November, Adam and Anne had to think about how to list their tv watching.

Because that same day, Cbs was broadcasting finally the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, while on another channel the third season finale of Sons Of Anarchy was on.

You know they’re both SOA freaks… but of course they both wanted to watch VSFS first.

You know that I have the whole show…

And now is actually the time to let you see it.

So, enjoy beauty.

Think that Adam is shown four and plus times, from the start till the very end, and Anne has three highlights too.

They are absolutely wonderful… truly best part of the show was to see how in love these two are…:

Error

This video doesn’t exist

Anne though, in between cute tweets exchanged with John Legend’s ladylove Christine Teigen (a fellow SI model… and a very cute kind person, though I keep not understanding how people shorter than me can model, since I am 5’9” and Teigen – like that bland Lily Aldrige – is 5’8”…), had sadly to discover she would have missed the broadcast, due to the fact her plane back from South Carolina to New York home would have been delayed and she would have been traveling just exactly by he time of CBS telecast.

Very few people can wear THAT dress THAT flawlessly

Poor thing!

She sounded disheartened at some point… I would have been not happy as well.

But then, some kind heart managed anyway to let her see it all 😉

Before her flight took over she was watchin tv in the lobby and once again it’s clear that she shares lots of things with her man, who’s a total Stevie Wonder devotee, too.

But what was Adam doing on 30th night?

What were Maroon5 up to for the CMT Awards?

Well, you know I don’t really click with Country… but when I even learnt that they were up to cover TAYLOR SWIFT I chuckled.

Really.

I am having such a hard time dealing with this (in the whole Kanye‘s thing, you know what i think, and I wonder how Adam can feel being of my same school of life about it?), even though I was sure by the time Swift’s “romance” (??) with Jake Gyllenhaal was made public, someway their roads would have crossed.

But really???

Covering “Mine”???

Oh, boy... everything I did NOT want to see...

Okay that you guys OF COURSE have done an amazing job on it an definitely transformed a lukewarm “hit” in a classy turnover of sound but… REALLY???

I have trouble there.

Maroon 5 at the CMT Awards, 30 November 2010

Tomorrow I will see the broadcast and decide but… KANYE. TEAM KANYE.

Sorry guys.

I am not always agreeing with anything you do (though I repeat: I’m sure YOUR version of Mine is awesome).

Duh.

Better get back in BEAUTIFUL TERRITORY and let’s enjoy some of the cuteness about Anne’s catwalkin in a couple of actually true (albeit kinda simple) article on her surfaced after from the broadcast it was clear Adam was there for her.

they won the genetical lottery... 😉

First this one… and well, SURE they were the most beautiful couple there: tall and gorgeous they seem like real life Barbie and Manly Ken…):

most beautiful couple for sure

Then this beautiful one which quotes Adam gushin on her in September stop at Howard Stern’s show (check my past post… that day where the guys did that amazing radio cover of Let’s Stay Together… and you know I always think he sings it to her ;)):

He gets so sweet talkin about Anne 🙂

THESE are the next times you will catch Maroon5 on tv (and I will try and translate all videos here again):

next video chances

Yesterday then the day was quiet… Guys had a chat time in Nashville (if I can find a transcript of it I’ll put it up next time, along to what hasn’t surfaced yet that I have spoke about today), prior to learn that they had again gained a Grammy Nomination for Misery in the Best Pop Performance category (yesterday there was the Grammy Nomination Day).

Having candidate themselves only in 6 categories (due to the release time for HAO, check my previous post where I did post the prenominees link list) it’s already a good achievement that Maroon5 got again acknowledged as they deserve to.

I am APPALLED just at the composition of the Pop Album Category (only deserving one there is Gaga, but then I sadly knew it would have been an hard time for HAO), and about any of Katy Perry and Justin Bieber nomination, but beside that I am really pleased with the rest of the nominations, especially about Arcade Fire and Cee-Lo’s ones, because if you read this blog you know I tipped those (and Eminem and Gaga) all year long to take the major honors this year.

But yeah… That Pop Album Category and Perry+Bieber let me fear that like last year with friggin Swift there will be some to be ashamed for this year too at the Grammy Awards.

Oh well.

At least we know who’s gonna shine on red carpet, don’t we?:

I told you she’s just adorable 😉

And I don’t even like Pomeranians… but truly she was so cute 😉

Adam tweeted some time after these from Anne… I guess they watched the broadcast of Sons Of Anarchy while talkin that night? 😉

Whatever they do, they are adorable to me.

End of the debate.

They even made me sligtly forget about Lakers in those moments 😉

That’s how much I like the idea of them together 😉

Then this morning, while I was having a meeting … some KINDRED soul posted THIS (hold yourself… it’s DANGEROUS to health!):

O. M. G... Really. What one can say. He's so good you'd love to EAT him alive 😉 (nice nailpolish Anne, on that sole hand 😉 )

It’s the second part of the shot you know from last post... and oh… BOY.

I can’t process the thought.

My fetish for ilium bone and male hips goes to stratosphere with Adam.

I can’t wait to buy whatever magazine is that they shot these nature candids for charity along.

(I repeat: Anne… you lucky lucky lucky woman ;)…*sigh*…)

HAO. Still love it a lot.

Karim is NOW mocking me about this of course.

But he knows I can’t help the way this man sexes me up.

It’s… a natural chemical inner and unstoppable reaction (look the smirk he has… it’s everything a promising one should be).

I guess for today we’re okay this way…

I am cooking and very soon I will sleep after for two days I slept a total of 4 hours and half.

I’ll cuddle and enjoy the bless which is my life and the fact my beloved soulmate can even handle my passions about music and… musicians 😉

I’m just so very fortunate and blessed.

😉 Catch you in 7-10 days 😉

Enjoy this start of December, the Xmas await, and if you are Jewish, Happy Hanukkah!! 🙂

Z. 😉
