After one month I’m back, straight at lab, working hard, and taking time in between tests to update (quickly) this.
What I love about the fact I am always on Twitter is that now, when I get back from long times away (it was a month of K&I out of Italy!! Wow ;)) I don’t need really to put all up in this diary because… well, all that happens to me goes on Twitter and so if you are there and follow me… YOU ALREADY KNOW!
But I also like to put small paper-like thoughts over here.
So that when I am old and with no memory left I can collect pieces of souvenirs from here (KIDDING: we have hours of recorded camera and video testifies of all of our lives; it’s just that I would NEVER share a thing of that online 😉 You know me there ;))
So in just a few words, this month away saw:
my 27th very posh and crazy birthday celebration in Las Vegas,
some amazing home time in in-laws super mansion in San Francisco (how I am growing to adore that town!!!),
a couple of run & re-run in our home in Los Angeles, some special threesome time (my very special Bday gift beside the HUGE other one K. gave me… I love you and the way you get me baby 🙂 and you are always THE BEST and BY FAR :)))!) Lakers game (of course we catch the bad and then we are away for the very good.. but still GO LAKERS, always!!!), and the glorious laid-backness only that town give K&I,
two weekends at Coachella that were ABSOLUTELY fantastic… Radiohead, Gotye, Kasabian, Noel Gallagher, Calvin Harris being the acts stealing my heart the most, and enjoying – no matter the bodyguards I still have trouble keeping up with – friends, fun, happiness, and a look totally different (raven hair… I MIGHT think of keeping them in a while?) from usual,
Los Angeles 2012
working short time in New York alone, when I did realize I worship that town and I am delighted of our new apartment there, BUT staying there without Karim isn’t the same;
a FANTASTIC working time in Sweden;
AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING and SEXY, ROMANTIC, UNFORGETTABLE coupling time in Sweden. K&I now would love a small small house there too… *sigh* (no, we ain’t gonna get that too… it’s not like we can have one in every town we love? ;))
A sad sporty time when we returned yeasterday and I got to witness live in San Siro Milan giving up at once to both Inter AND Juventus (btw, congrats to Juventus: outstanding performance this year in Serie A).
a night of FIERCE sexual healing after the Milan loss (that erases all pain 😉 always).
What I keep from all this?
Well… I miss Swifty painfully when I am away?
THAT. But also (more seriously… not that that about Swifty isn’t serious, because IT IS) I am very happy.
I have a wonderful family, a wonderful acquired one, an amazing bunch of life-long friends; I get along very well with all of Karim’s peeps; and first, foremost and totally importantly… I am in love with the most amazing man.
EVER.
When we are in company… we shine.
Las Vegas 2012
When we are alone… we breathe each other’s souls.
And even when we do argue (because everyone caring about one another truly does) we still love even the part of each other that we can’t tame.
It’s an insane, yet astonishing, chemistry.
I feel so much into this… that when we are not together, I am another version of me.
Less glowing.
It’s not intentional: I keep being up and ongoing (and I keep attract lots of people… too bad I can’t play if K’s isn’t in sight, because in New York and Sweden when alone, a couple men would have deserved some of my baddest game 😉 Karim said next time he will let me do it as long as he can control it someway and GOSH… do I love him when he goes THAT tricky and cruel? Oh, YES. I DO.) but it’s just that I am the best of me when he’s with me.
He makes me… the closest I can be to my own perfection.
That is a sentence he uses for himself talking about what I make of him… and you see? We agree also there 😉
What else?
My Marghe and I meet this lunch time (we have things to tell!!! baby bump of her gotta learn straight from Aunt Zaira all things!!!
New York 2012
Yes, because I will speak directly to the baby, you know ;)) and I am even in such a good mood (despite sporty downgrade… but at least Lakers won and Dani boy is shining too!!!!) that I am even planning a NEW Maroon 5 video on You Tube.
Still hate Adam on The Fuckerythat thing (I am SO glad they are losing rating so badly… the sooner he realizes how crap that show is, the better) but I am liking Payphone (yes, I do… at the end of the day a song that mirrors something true in Adam’s life will always be good to me, even with the goddamn awful Benny Blanco’s cheap ass production) and I am looking forward to Overexposed (already preordered the deluxe edition on iTunes, and also the physical Deluxe packages they sell on their site and of course the special SAJ edition, the Japanese Edition from Amazon AND… I am soon getting the Payphone physical CD in promotional copy for Djs that has the three versions of it… I guess I am still a fan, after all – even though I still think Moves Like Jagger IS A VERY GENERIC, FORMULAIC, DOWNGRADING song for them.).
Whoever that girl will be, I am SURE that is gonna be at least for a while his new REAL girlfriend too.
I am well over Anne V and Adam Levine.
Sure, I will forever look at them together as one of the most beautiful pairing Hollywood ever sa; and I will still think their children, if they had ever lasted together, would have been rivaling Brangelina’s one.
I will still think for a while they REALLY had THAT major thing for one another, and seeing footage of them being affectionate will still hit a powerful note with me.
Coachella 2012
But… their couple, all considered, couldn’t really survive the test of time and life, sadly, and for a GOOD (and mattering) number of reasons, out of the surface (I totally believe they hit various rough patches… I mean, the lyrics of the – cringe-worthy, if that’s the production with the Derulo’s touch…- song Wipe Your Eyes, which surely dates around past spring, surely are a hint things were FAR from perfection all along?).
In the end, that relationship of theirs wasn’t meant to last (they didn’t like each other at first, they both put careers above their relationship, they stayed together 2 years, but in real days in the same place, barely 5 months, her family didn’t like him, she loved New York more than him & the idea of marriage more than him too… and I have a HARD, HARD time believing the super sex-addicted Adam could stand only masturbating in the long weeks without her… this may have been some task FOR SURE, let’s not be naive ).
If one considers all elements to a real relationship, out of the glam, the cuteness, the immediate rewarding, it’s not a shock Adam and Anne just couldn’t resist as a solid item and so good luck to them in finding a real match because they were not their reciprocal.
Bad for the genetic match (they were looking fiercely perfect together), but good for the life in itself: I am sure when Adam will retire from public spotlight, he will marry and have kids and be a good man but that is certainly not something that is gonna happen fast, much less pushed by someone who was not even living with him, and still was trying to make him tying the knot?
That would have never been a good idea. I am glad it did not happen because marriage is not a game that you can try and see how it goes.
It’s a serious thing (and here it speaks someone who would have never married if I hadn’t find THE right one, at all).
I also think that Adam will spend next year being back to his very slutty self and I can’t avoid to like it.
I want him settled down in many ways, but I can’t resist his sluttiness as well on the other side: the man is born to be a sex toy, and he LIKES that (anyone ever attending some of Hwood parties, or some kinky M5 backstage KNOWS this as the first rule… EVERYONE).
He’s the kinkiest, most playful, actively charming sexy predator I’ve ever seen in action.
Sweden Lovely Times April and May 2012
To tame him will request way more than what Anne had to offer (and I still think “sadly”… oh, how I loved them together!!! *sigh forever sigh*)
It’s the truest part of him still, and I guess “that change he tried to spend on Anne” in being restrained really couldn’t last.
No more “wasted nights” trying to stay tame at home and skyping?
I bet he gave up on them since a while already… 😉
But let’s stop it here… Chronicles will soon be after his next conquests/sexual rompings / hookups /claimed “just friendships” (yeah… those “friendships” where you exchange sexual fluids together, right Adam? ;)) so the fun will be spread soon again, I am sure.
Back on some more serious note… sadly music lost a legend.
My eldest friends always taught me about their importance for the global music scene.
If it weren’t for them, Eminem couldn’t have been.
If it weren’t for them, mixes between pop and rap couldn’t have happened (see Madonna and Beastie Boys).
Their lyrical power and flawless music taste will forever standout.
They could have produced so much more masterpieces…
I for one am shattered… and I also regret that I wasn’t able to catch Coldplay live at the Bowl (being in Sweden) if only just for THIS AMAZING PIECE:
The ever-amazing Coldplay tribute their due honor to the legendary Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch:
This is probably my fav BB video, Sabotage:
What else?
Oh yeah: Gotye is dominating charts everywhere just as I predicted and wanted as soon as I fell in love with his entire Making Mirrors album… YASSSSSSSSS!!!! 🙂
I would also like to dwell into politics a bit with the France and Greece results but I better hold on…
I said this would have been short, right?
I will be back shortly though.
The video I am willing to prepare for the YouTube channel will see a showdown of Adam’s past KNOWN girlfriends from Jane to the… next one ;)?
They are 22… so I guess I can use a bunch of songs that I haven’t put up yet (at least 4?).
We’re prancing around in this awesome colonial house (Hamptons, baby!!!!) and we are about to leave to New York in a little while.
Lovely Night London times July 2011
We reached Karim’s clan from London, where we went past weekend to enjoy the FINAL OF WIMBLEDON!!!
Nole won over Rafa in a Final that was amazing for me (they are my two fav players), as much as it was the time in London and the great dinner FTP for the winners, the night of the victory.
Meeting Nole was precious: he’s very lord-like and absolutely enchanting to exchange words with 🙂
Still, Rafa keeps the number one spot in my tennis heart, and Djokovic stays a very close second.
I told him and he smiled and said that he will try his best to make me change my mind.
*cute* 🙂
We had a total fantastic time here in the Big H, filled with parties, family time, yacht leisure (okay… K’s family yacht is INSANE… amazingly so!), horse rides along with dinisties of horseracers (WOW!!!) and in a way we would like to stay here a couple of days more but we are heading to New York to have the first parties out of the stream of ones K&I will have for our “Bachelor/ette Celebrations” and people are flying in from literally all over the world so it’s not like we can demolish so much fun for our romantic times alone 😉
I love these Hamptons, baby!
It’s gonna be pretty wild.
And yep— I hope the boys will have fun because we girls SURELY will.
Don’t be prudes or don’t read further (or incoming posts): I wish my future hubby lots of wild sex at these parties.
He knows for me sex can be like gymnastic if heart is not involved, so as long as he’s safe, he can bang at those parties whoever he likes.
To me he could even out of the parties, he knows how I feel about sex so he knows I’m very honest there: I am not one who feels any type of jealousy… it’s a conceptual forced feeling our historic culture and religious belief has placed within us to feel like sexual exchanges are breaking promises or faith, but that happens only if those elements strike in for what I am concerned… therefore for me – I get is not a common though – a sex thing can happen without any feeling or faithfulness involved.
I don’t lie about that, and I have always make it clear with all people who have been fortunate enough to share my sheets (or whatever else of the same category of “physical fun items”).
I’m an honest libertine BUT for the love I feel for Karim I don’t have problems in ditchin this for him to be happy…
Still I don’t see the point in being possessive with the one you love because the more you try to hold someone back, the more he/she’s gonna slippin from your chains.
I let him free, even though he has explained to me he can’t do the same…
I get you my K.
Don’t worry.
I understand and you know I don’t feel trapped with you anyway.
But yes, for me he’s free to bang around, even though I imagine he will give up most of chances also at the parties (I suggested to my friends who are there to push him instead… camon!!! Have fun you darn hot thing… make someone else happy with what Nature so kindly and abundantly has given you ;)!)
He won’t find anyway anybody who’s even remotely as unforgettable as me in a sex encounter, that’s for sure, so…I have no fears someone else can involve him as I do.
What I read on flights: Anne V and Natalia Vodianova in Vogue Germany July 2011
What about me then? Oh, it will depend on my mood, given the little boundaries I have agreed to accept and the fact we are in New York so probably lots of the people whom will be at the places we will hang at might be acquaintances of Karim or his clan (not that those hipster/rich types have sexual codes that involve normality anyway…).
And also it could depend on the fact I might find somebody sexy enough to raise my interest at my parties (and you know my taste are refined so it’s really not easy to catch me eye and even less easy to catch my attention after… but I expect people trying as usual).
Karim isn’t as open as me though so I know he had requests to undervalue when we were planning our “party times”.
He cannot stand me with anybody else unless he’s present, so that’s why we have parties in shifted days, this round and also all other rounds that are gonna happen in different towns (his is Monday, mine is Tuesday) so in case I feel the urge, he can… well, operate ;)).
I don’t really complain because by now you know that three is a very interesting number in my life ;)… And in these multiple parties it could even be surpassed.
I don’t wanna over think anything ;)… I let all doors open to *major fun*.
Rule number one in my life: I don’t give a damn about other’s concept of life.
I have mine and I am very sincere.
If you wanna mash with me, you better take it or leave it, and in any case, that won’t affect the way I will keep conducing myself.
Your judgment isn’t important to me: my life is fabulous just because I drive it very much as I like it to be.
Probably I would have been an amazing star in the decadent times in France or Spain by the end of 1800… but then the protections and the acknowledge of the STDS weren’t developed so no… I prefer very much to live nowadays, in the end.
Lots more things to do and chances to take 😉 and way safer.
I love to talk these subject in very pleasant literary debates… and people of huge culture and education actually get very engaged about this all; latest additions to my “literary and artistic circle of friends” are actually Karim’s father and uncle.
We had a very great series of conversations these past days.
They’ve seen the world and experienced all variety of people so I love to talk with them because their minds are very open and very rich.
We will be back in Italy next week: Swifty misses me so in the July travels I have to sneak in chances for rides along him (wonder if he will smell again the taste of another horse on me… he hates that ;)).
Next move will be in California, and Las Vegas.
It will also be a musical trip because after The Fuckery “that thing” ended I have finally allowed myself to re-listen to Maroon 5 so the Hollywood Bowl gig is what we will also do in Los Angeles in two weeks.
I actually also hope to catch Stevie Wonder the day before at the same venue but yet that has to be confirmed.
I still not enamored with Maroon 5 as I used to be though; I fear that wound will never be healed, and that type of worship I used to have for them and for Adam especially will never be restored in full force again.
And so in many ways Moves Like Jagger, which is an undoubtedly little summer pop gem, sounds like Katy Perry to me (and that is NOT good, though catchy-powering), making my liking of the song diminished in value (I can’t appreciate the fact pop-garbage producers like Benny Blanco have taken charges of Maroon 5 songs now… I don’t really like Stereo Hearts as I hoped I would have, either, and he’s involved in that too).
These are my summer songs by the way (part of them have been influenced by my stay away from Italy, especially number 4, which I LOVED as soon as I heard it on the radio the other day :)):
LMFAO Party Rock Anthem(I was the one telling you months ago this was going to be universally HUGE);
JOVANOTTI and Michael FRANTI The Sound Of SunShine
GIORGIA Il Mio Giorno Migliore(LOOOOVE IT!!!)
ONE REPUBLIC Good Life
COLDPLAY Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
MAROON 5 & CHRISTINA AGUILERA Moves Like Jagger (can’t avoid to like it even though I don’t love it)
JOVANOTTI Il Piu’ Grande Spettacolo
ALOE BLACC I Need A Dollar
BRUNO MARS The Lazy Song
place number ten is free for grabs 😉 I will have a final word at the end of the summer 😉
I leave you with cuteness though.
One thing that hasn’t diminished at all regarding M5 related stuff is still my appreciation of the Adam Levine + Anne Vlove story (still rooting for them to be together forever and have many gorgeous and physically perfect little Levines with a boost of Russian genes in… oh! how cute they would be!!! Adam and Anne are the best celebrity couple I have ever seen so…) and in fact I had to compose this collage when I downloaded for my friends Marghe and Sere some pictures for them to upload in their Maroon 5 dedicated blog (they will update it someday soon… I have no idea when though because they are bound to reach me in New York just today?):
Most lovely couple Adam Levine and Anne V in Los Feliz, California, July 5, 2011
This by the way are some of the stills from the shooting of Moves Like Jagger video, filmed by one of my fav directors, the uber talented swede Jonas Akerlund, whom Adam interviewed in 2009 for MTV (search this blog):
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?
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:
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.
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 –.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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…).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 😉
