Okay…

I wasn’t meant to write a blog this soon after the previous one (I have way too much things to do to update this more frequently than once or so in a month)… but on blessed Thursday September 13th, 2012 something did happen that HAD to be pinpointed, celebrated and shared so…

I HAD to come here and write, as soon as I got a lil window-time in this beautiful sunny Saturday of Summer-end.

So now after my well due horseride, after a very good meal my mum has prepared and before K&I get back to Milan for more afternoon sweet things to do (basically… visiting the FIRST reason for I am writing this post about, and some… sport event for tonight ;)) let me announce that my already beautiful life has received yet another gift for me to rejoice and be EXTREMELY grateful for.

On September 13th, 2012 the Earth has welcomed a new shining ANGEL.

Welcome my dearest Eva!

My dearest Margherita gave birth to this miracle creature, instantly transforming what was shaping up to be a terribly bad day for me (work, commitments I didn’t like to oblige, the Rotary Club dinner the evening) into one of the most beautiful, mind-shattering, heart-shaping and amazing days of my whole life.

It’s hard to explain… I thought I was prepared for such a joy but I was definitely NOT. The moment I saw the baby… and Margherita so destroyed but SO happy… something inside me probably just evolved.

That shaking feeling still here… and it will probably remain it inside my soul because Eva has now already become a part of me.

I am gonna be the best support for her… as I will also be the God-mother of her (thank you Margherita… you know it means so much and you know I’d give up my life for her… and YOU).

Even thought Karim and I yet are not planning nor willing babies (we want at least three more years alone 😉 thanx) I can honestly say motherhood is in my plans, and in his.

We talked so much about this as we got to welcome Eva in our lives 🙂

Oh, and if you wonder why Margherita picked up that name… its’ all due to this song that her parents loved and she has always loved to (it’s a beautiful song indeed):

Music is part of mine and my friends and beloveds’ lives so naturally… even the names of our babies are gonna be music-related easily.

I know K&I will surely find names which relate with our artistic passions for sure at least ;).

So… all about today’s post is related to love and angels and all that makes life better and awesome (which leaves me intentionally skip on the mess and chaos of that idiotic anti-muslim “movie” which is causing troubles in Middle East and that I have a slight feeling was created to favor that horrible Robo-Romney’s plans to destroy America and the world along; but as I said, let’s NOT talk about bad thing today, and let’s all just gaze in lovingly shades).

Today for instance I will go see Milan live in San Siro (after an amazing morning ride of my baby Swifty in the fields, and after a well due paid visit to my God-Daughter) after the past weekend we spent the most amazing time in Florence avoiding to catch games of any sort, other than through media reports (sex is the best sport after all 😉 and try to deny me there ;)… the small days when I can’t do that because of my period you know are named like “The Dark Era”… 😉 ).

And you know for Karim and I Florence is ALL about Love&Angelic things 😉

As we are on sport, I have to also say I can’t wait for the new LAKERS season of course.

I have good vibes out of it, and to celebrate those, I will post here a video from Adam’s latest show up (September 5 2012) at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno because there the other guest was MAGIC friggin JOHNSON and they had also a basketball showdown:

I can’t at the amazingness of this.

He was so glowing like a little kid beside his idol, and still managed to be funny and cool.

Magic and Adam on Leno

I would have just fainted being in that room then – even watching it on the video just leaves me fluttering away, to be frank and honest  😉

Of course it doesn’t take a genius to see how much Adam was glowing there… he’s so happy these days and you will see later why (he wasn’t alone those days in California… he had his personal Angel of Love with him all time, and I didn’t expect it so when Behati was revealed being there from a tweet of them two in his living room watching Roddick I melted of cuteness… but that comes later, read furtherly ;)).

What it matters is that I don’t think the Heat will repeat, as Magic fears.

I don’t think AT ALL.

Lakers are up for prizes: I am very confident about it as season starts soon.

And I will surely catch them at Staples this season again (it may happen around Xmas ;))

Go Lakers!!!! 😉

More magical/angelic things?

Before I go for the obvious (and you all expect it) let’s be a nerd some more…

In a couple of days then you know… the new iPhone 5 is out and OF COURSE I am gonna get it 😉

During the whole Keynote Apple had, my fangirling about all Apple stuff mixed marvelously with my Maroon 5 love, because guess which music was highlighted in EVERY product they upgraded?

That’s right: OVEREXPOSED, baby 😉 which still shitting on charts in awesome way, thank you.

One More Night just reached (again) the #2 peak on Billboard 100 (the era of number two’s… let’s hope it can produce a least one number one because that would be SO deserved!) and generally everything couldn’t be better on the Maroon 5 front.

Now that the funny song Gangnam Style is actually NUMBER ONE on iTunes USA, there is a small chance One More Night may reduce the sales gap with Taylor Swift‘s song Adam inspired to write about his friend Jake Gyllenhaal (read my previous post about it) enough to snatch that number one the song is totally deserving to touch (I still think the most perfect pop smash on Overexposed though is Lucky Strike so hopefully THAT song anyway will get its charting chance to shine sooner or later… please don’t waste that like you did with Stutter on Hands All Over… please!), but I don’t want to build my hoped up too much because also another number two peak is very consistent as result and it should be celebrated regardless.

Anyway Maroon 5 are just doing awesomely these days.

Adam Levine interview – The Daily beast Sept 2012

Awesomely.

They are always well spoken about from the general and buying public and the popularity of the frontman is getting so big it seems there are no sufficient outlets for him to contain the demand; they are also back on the road for a month and this makes the time flies in a different way.

We left them ending their South American tour (very successful) and get back to California for some days before the Asian leg of the tour started (these days actually).

In that small span of time we have learn that the next single was getting a video (they have to optimize times for these stuff, because beside the tour and that other awful thing which has started again, –  besting the even worst than it competition on a three night premiere, causing certainly happiness for NBC and damage on the brain of awful Simon Cowell, and that at least pleases me – end of note. If you want to see The Fuckery those things episodes go to the NAWWAL pages 😉 and don’t try to find those here 😉 – Maroon 5 are forced to encapsulate all their collateral works into very small schedules) and as we did my hope was that Adam had shaved the goatee he had on Leno to film it (please… let’s hope he did because the Mexican Look isn’t the best on him… although he still gorgeous with any lenght of hair on his flawless face).

Now we all thought the third single was going to be Daylight (and I wasn’t pleased with the choice because I think like many of my friends that the song is cute but unremarkable sonically); instead… we had a surprise when Adam shouted he was shooting a video.

In a little while news surfaced (and THIS pic) that the single will actually be The Man Who Never Lied and that means it is another “No fairy tales after you treated me like shit” type of song that we are gonna get out from Overexposed.

It may also easily be an obvious reference to the fact that probably someone has gone too far with lies thrown around also? Who knows… but I wouldn’t be surprised.

In fact, someone’s camp has exceeded ALL possible lies level for about 4 months straight in between February and June that it could be… but we’d need to ask the video plotter about it (we know Adam will have to have had his say there) and he probably wouldn’t answer other than with a revealing smirk, now that he’s happy and out of the haze of that awful past gone wrong.

Anyway… this is what makes us all believe TMWNL is the third actual single:

The Man Who Never Lied is going to be Maroon 5 third video from Overexposed

About the song though, I praise the choice because first I like it better than Daylight, and that probably is the only reason the single was picked in spite of it; I also firmly believe Adam was so pissed with all the fake reports his ex’s camp spread after the break up he is willingly picking up songs that demonstrate how the relationship was poised to fail from a very long time before when People said it ended (The Man Who Never Lied was written as Payphone in early January), and how really he had to endure way too much before he realized there was no other way to survive than let that painful and failing link die (that cut thing in fact certainly had to be horrible for him to make though, since Beautiful Goodbye and Sad have been completed and written one in February and the other on March 17th, and it was clear from his face&actions in March 2013 and most of April that Adam was heartbroken from the way his love had been wasted in a no successful relationship).

Anyway, we also already know who will be playing Adam’s leading lady in the video and that she is a sort of clone version of the ex, too, appropriately since the song is clearly a very clear depiction of something that had to hurt Adam VERY deeply (legs wise, and boob wise though, and height like also, Valerie tops Anne quite much – face is totally beautiful in them both instead, that kind of typical and mesmerizing blonde beauty that eastern and northern European girl have, that makes them all resemble luminous Fairies): gorgeous new young  model Valerie Van Der Graaf :

Valerie Van Der Graaf will be the partner of Adam in Maroon 5 The Man Who Never Lied video. She’s SO beautiful! And her looks remind me of a (better ?) Anne so it fits the video purpose 😉

We don’t know much about the shot other than it’s BOLD in Adam’s words (and it may be meaning anything, but my guess is that the video somehow involves screaming actions, therefore the captions for BOLD in his tweet?) and that it took two days and half of shooting and that he thinks it’s bananas 😉

I have loved all partners he picked for his videos so far (especially Bregje Heinen in Payphone), and I also love that Behati doesn’t want to appear there in Maroon 5 videos (the songs anyway weren’t fitting for put a loved girlfriend in now, so that’s also a good reason she isn’t there yet) and that means again she is in for the relationship and not for the fame she might get out from there, because she was with Adam during TMWNL filming and she could have asked visibility, but she cannot care less and this you know will forever earn to her my utmost praise and respect (it means also she is not jealous, because everyone could be in seeing her handsome boyfriend rubbing skin with some other very beautiful girl. Behati must be very secure in her relationship by now to allow Adam to be millimeters in contact with someone as amazingly looking as Valerie, for instance. Good Bee… you keep being very good for him :).

Plus about The Man Who Never Lied video is that it is directed from my fav Jonas Akerlund (Wake Up Call & MLJ… but I love the first) whom Adam is a big fan of and that assures me of its amazing outcome already.

Other than that?

What other news in maroon 5 world?

Beside that Maroon 5 just started playing in Asia and there Adam is so popular he has become also a clothing chain endorser (eeehhh… let me NOT judge this… I promised I would have been focused on good things today ;)).

Speaking about tour and live music, well Maroon 5 HAVE FINALLY SET UP EUROPEAN DATES for June 2013 (so far only in UK, which means I’LL BE THERE also around Glasto again!) and that is awesome; and then when they will be back from Australia they will be playing a special event (Alicia Keys will in New York, Maroon 5 in LA) on October 16th and I think WE MAY GO there too ;).

Happy Adam with that— goatee? sigh 😉

I want so bad that they come back in Italy too as well, and I will probably check some of their USA and European tour dates as long as they come off, accordingly with my working schedules.

After all, if Behati can adjust her working duties to be always along her man (and that must be not easy… she is in UK at the moment though, so the time zone gap at least has been significantly reduced between them, who are not used to being so far away and for so long… poor angels! They must find a way to reunite for at least some hours before the Asian/Aussie stops end? Let’s wish them so… We know Adam has developed a profound hate for “loving people just on a telephone/screen”. And luckily these days he has not to suffer for it too much, giving that his current Angel flies to him whenever and wherever humanly possible ;)) I can too for enjoying music, right? 😉

I guess.

Oh, and finally let’s write how much Behati IS an angel to Adam, in this showup of loving post-bits.

Because as you know last time we were guessing she would have been in New York when Adam returned from South America to LA, to take part to Naomi Watts’ brother Ben Watts’ exhibit in which she was a prominent feature; I honestly thought she would have… but then Ben Watts tweeted through Milk Studios Behati wouldn’t have been there and I started to wonder… why?

What could have prevented her if she was supposed to be in New York?

Well… for instance the fact she was NOT in New York but she was still at Adam Levine’s beautiful Hollywood Hills Home ;).

And we had certainty when she tweeted her support to Roddick (bleah… at least that untalented chap has stopped playing, thank God… but Bee and Adam were supportive of him, so not everybody must agree with my joy there 😉 I know…) from Adam’s sofa-bed (I have a direct acknowledge of that pad by now so… I was SURE that was his house even if Bee’s tweet was cryptic and as usual never revealing of their lovestory).

That wasn’t the only evidence we had as day later pictures came of the two lovers together in more than one place.. and I just melted so much I created this video for them with those pictures and as sound I have chosen the song that it is currently my ULTIMATE fav… The XX’s “Angels” which fit this post and Adam and Behati’s story PERFECTLY.

Enjoy 🙂

They are SO cute together… the pics where Behati grabs his ass and the one where he gaze smiling at her as she draws the heart on the glass of the store’s fridge are ALL about true love.

He’s so happy with her… she is really a wonderfully fitting companion for him, and they share everything as of personality… from the silliest notes on life till the way more important bits about politics and fears about world state, and the state of art in it..

I hate when I occasionally surf around the web and I decode and count the lies that were carefully spread taking place of the truth regarding this blissful link these two share.

For instance sites are now writing that this relationship between Behati and Adam started “after 2011 VS show (it’s easy to make those mistakes because writers of sites have the intelligence of a hamster, and they can’t even check their sources twice to decode basic mistakes… or sometimes, you know, they are PAID to spread FALSE news… because these days reciprocal popularity can be all about bizness could get).

Well… NO WAY.

That is just absolutely FAKE.

Beautiful and naturally enchanting Behati

They met there but then Adam was with the ex for some time longer after the show (in fact, up until then their relationship was still decent.. it was when the ex missed the November flight to Russia to meet him and the band there touring that things started to definitively crumble, because Adam started to realize the hard way that all the ex was interested in was her career and not him other than when he was not conflicting, but propelling said career of hers – this is what a VERY well informed person confessed to me and some LA people a couple of months ago, and so far this persona has never mistaken ANY of the inside tips so I trust this 110%).

And how could have Behati and Adam started “meet” as a couple when he spent November in Europe, and when in December when he was in LA he hosted and guested his ex Anne at times at his home?

By the end of year 2011 Adam and Behati were no entities to one another (Behati was also taken/untaken with her previous model guy boyfriend, and in fact they were also in the phase of breaking up and testing the no couple thing back and forth between them).

Truth both Bee and Adam’s relationships by December were taunted already and irreparably (despite fake photo ops organized by someone’s camp) on Adam’s side and gone from lovers to friends state in Behati and Jamie’s case BUT that doesn’t mean Adam & Behati went on with each other as some idiot keeps “guessing” in any of those weeks, DUH!

Adam and Behati started to hook up after Middle April – post Coachella – and in middle May Adam met again (he hadn’t since middle February after the Stern interview he did with Anne) his ex at Mercer Hotel to tell her he was starting an EXCLUSIVE relationship with someone else.

Sidenote: May 16th 2012 was Behati’s 23rd birthday so that gesture from Adam was likely a sort of gift to her, even?

Nobody can know this beside them two of course, but shortly after that day Adam tweeted a funny video of a karate kid and started to word the “You’re welcome” thing that has become a staple for him as he is with Behati… and just the other day Behati has tweeted a piece of that video in one of her moments of chatting time with her lover so far away from her (the guys are on tour in Asia now, and the two lovers are in their worst state of being wildly apart, so you can tell they are online at the same times… but they won’t tweet one another still private in front of the world ;), and therefore to patch together their cryptic tweets is becoming a sort of fun game for some, included a couple of my friends, in Italy and not only – though the club of “tweet collectors loses a lot having Marghe out for daughter duties, lol), making it like that video has some special value for them (it was probably something they found together to have fun, after having come out as “official couple” for the people mattering in THEIR life, namely family and friends, and after having cut in a definite way all rotten branches from their inner spaces).

I have numerous reports on that meeting from insiders & well trusted Fashion Personalities (at hotel too) but beside those, which are private conversations I had, I reckon I haven’t been the only one spotting Adam and Anne that day there anyhow:

The day Adam and Anne V last met, middle May 2012, when Adam told her in person he was with Behati – it was on Bee’s birthday. HIS GIFT to Behati, I suppose 😉

I can’t take all the lies about Adam playing anything dirt to his ex… Because simply he has been way too much of a Gentleman to her, despite the awful way her camp has treated him through tons of FAKE press.

He did all that was requested; he spoke in person and cut all ties the way a Gentleman does.

All that has been said bout Bee and Adam of dirt is just fake reports which are trying to make either him or her or both look bad (to whoever’s eyes)  but truth is they are in love, they are very private and happy, and they have been since May 2012, not a day before.

Adam has been shattered and misused before Behati came in the picture… he has been so desperate and sad for all the first months of 2012… why now that he is so clearly happy people keep pushing him and trying to make him look back at when he was miserable?

He has already troubles in being confident in true love (because so far he hasn’t found anyone loving him for real… and let me cross my fingers he may have NOW?)… he has been exploited for many years by more than one person… of course he’s suspicious and not open to profess his undying links now… Has he ever had a true one which was real and not fake so far?

NOT YET.

So far all of the love he tried to share was directed to people clearly not there for him, but mainly for his fame/popularity/similar bonuses.

This new relationship is starting just so we can’t really say a thing on it yet which is definite but please, let Bee and Adam test it on and by themselves and stop throw dirt at them while they are just progressing as an item, in such a cute and reserved way.

Adam has a very strong and SERIOUS approach at “the Big Thing” known as marriage and there’s no way this relationship is anything even REMOTELY close to it but the fact is that he is extremely happy now… and it’s a shock that it took so little for him to heal from what has been a GIANT heartbreak for him (just look at the face he was sporting in the whole start of the year, from middle January to April… you can also have the look at The Fuckery Season 2 episodes which speak more than a million of my useless words: he was looking MISERABLE and like a dead man and all this was due to how BADLY his heart had been treated in those weeks span) and that so soon somebody has been able to clear his heart and mind so well, turning him again at enjoying life fully.

Behati has been able to heal him in NO time; avoiding the thing he has ALWAYS done in his most mattering relationship, namely trying to give them (even if they were clear failures) a second try, which would have been at once useless and unworthy, and mostly damaging even more for his mental and heart-ly stability.

Behati came in and immediately she erased all of his pain; sure it had to be a work of love by her part, because the pieces she had to put together were really shattered but the fact SHE MANAGED IT shall tell anybody how incredibly FIT for Adam she actually is.

They are adorable together and we have got a happy Adam back thanx to Behati… Even if he can’t avoid to eat tons of ice cream with her 😉 (but she stays so thin compared to him! Guess age is starting to change Adam’s once super fast metabolism ;)) I like that somehow he doesn’t care… and that anything in these pictures of them speak about a very well-connected and confident in one another type of couple.

They are so sweet and natural and absolutely “normal” kind of couple.

Way more good looking than any average couple though… but there it was Destiny and Sky Above operating on their perfect genetic so… we can’t really objectify that part of their connection 😉

Adam and Behati all Loved Up at Gelsons September 8th 2012 – COLLAGE

All Adam’s fans should be grateful to Behati. FULL STOP.

But I already know stupidity reigns supreme in way too many heads so I give up in thinking this train of thoughts can be followed by a wide majority.

Good that nor Adam nor Bee care about the way people overreact on them together.

Adam may have started carefully with Bee, being all heartbroken and tested heavily by females’ usage of his popularity… but just look at him these days he’s with Behati and you will see an happy, lovingly shining man: and if you are like me, this is all you really care about, even though it has nothing to do with mine or yours life, my fellow readers.

So while the haters of this beautiful pair are keeping throwing dirt and spreading lies of smoke habits (Adam has always been a smoker since he was 14) and even low.kicks like drugs habits but the truth is just these people are sore losers and can’t take the truth., we can instead see that Bee and Adam are happy and at ease with one another and that they are at the peak of their respective cheerful personalities.

It’s a pity that some can’t appreciate how Adam and Behati are now a stable and happy couple; or how Behati is loved by Adam’s family, and reckoned by his most inner circle and protected by them, and how certainly she is loved by him.

Will it last?

Nobody knows.

And honestly is not mine or your business and it won’t matter in the long haul of facts because what THIS relationship they have has ALREADY achieved has been to take the toxicity out of Adam’s horizon already.

This relationship is already a success phase in his life, and it would be even if it’d end tomorrow (which it won’t, but you get my point).

NOW Adam is at one of the happiest moments I have ever seen him in; and that is enough for me to know, to appreciate and support Behati in everything of SO positive she has gifted that guy (and therefore us fans someway) already with.

The girl he is now with is lively, funny, GORGEOUS and unique; she shares with him the most of passions he has: music, photography, traveling, seasights, dorkyness, nerdyness and a very personal outsight in life; look at this video… she has his same manners (and this video has things in of when they never knew of each other, like rollerskating…):

If this of course isn’t a guarantee of anything, it is a strong sign the BOTH of them right now are certainly happy with one another and why the heck people are constantly trying to pay them (and her) dust for this beauty they have found in one and with one another?

I don’t really condone this need for hating or downplaying this wonderful girl.

I don’t… it makes me dazed and confused because I think great and unique people shall be treasured, not opposed.

The bad mouths are even stating again to question Behati’s career, which is a laughable thing to do once a model is considered ESTABLISHED since a LIFETIME

Vogue would NEVER… this is her video for the amazing June 2012 Vogue Germany editorial (I LOVE how she looks when she classies up… but at the same time I adore the way her natural style is absolutely not artifact and rock’n’roll… I love her tenuity):

Questioning if she works (since it seems impossible to someone the fact she can work but ALSO spend all of her spare time with her man… while THAT shall be the ONLY way for any girl to live… knowing that work and love have to be put in line and prioritized to make a relationship work?), if she is an Angel in Victoria’s Secret still (she is… just two days ago a new video with her came on up on the VS site… and she does YOGA there… guess Adam is proud ;)) is simply showing how out of clues her haters are, because her career is in all aspect a completely successful one, and she still quite young to reach out for way more:

Behati has shot for Victoria’s Secret for THESE Summer campaigns in VS Swim 2012, she has shot just the other month for incoming WINTER campaigns (twice, and I can’t wait to see the one she has made with Karlie Kloss) and the fact people keep trying to drag her status down at times really seems idiotic to me.

Why?

Behati is lining up a campaign for NEXT stores in the WOMEN department  that is already up in Europe… And I share this lovely video of it because it emphasizes how cute she is and it’s very recent:

She is doing many works as of late whenever she finds time to and whenever she likes the option.. the fact that she is not pimping this through her twitter doesn’t mean that she doesn’t work… it means that she LIVES too and that she doesn’t need to annoy the world with her constant tweeting about her “working achievements”.

I find it a good attitude actually, rather than not.

The fact she isn’t prone to PR spins and self-spinning of any PR opportunity tells me she enjoys life more than work and this is how things shall work (a wise man has said: you work to live, you must not live to work).

Anyway… this is her amazing editorial for Nasty Magazine (she was shooting this while she was with Adam in July, in a day break from him… so she can still work even being with her man you know).

Behati’s legs and ass are perfection. SO long and slim and toned… you all know legs are Adam’s favorite feature in women do you? Well, Behati’s are the best legs he had to cheer since Cameron Diaz’s 😉

I love her spunk and rock attitude in photos… but watching new and old things, all I get is that she is very unique and versatile and real as model.

She has a timeless, yet not too obvious beauty and all that she exudes is likeability, vitality, energy, and LOVE and passion.

Some of her old stuff that are amazing:

She has CHOSEN NOT TO WALK in Fashion shows more recently (and she had spent time with Adam in stead of that but it was already a year and half or so that she was not really focusing on catwalks, because that is not requested when you get established as she is and it’s anyway a personal choice…) but not because she isn’t fit for it.

In fact her walk is strong and elegant and she is very versatile to wear equally well ready-to-wear and High Fashion flawlessly (and her walks in her career testify this).

Just look some of her old walks and stop trying to question her modeling status (which anyway is FAR from defining her as a person, because Behati is just NOT JUST a model, she has way more interests and talents than just her modeling career displays):

Behati is an all-around delicious cute girl.

So sweet and full of natural charm…in this old video she is adorable and the way she tries to make fun of the way others make fun of her (beautiful) name is just so captivating and luminous:

All said, though, Behati is also STUNNINGLY beautiful…

Just look at this super picture (my gosh in the close up she gives me NATALIA VODIANOVA‘s teas and you know I just worship Natalia so…;)

Behati Prinsloo is purely beautiful. Here she really resembles GODDESS Natalia Vodianova, and there’s no better achievement in looks for me 😉

She is perfect for Adam and I hope this goes on because among the rest she also has one of the best music taste I have ever seen, especially in such young girls.

Every time she tweets lyrics from songs that I know and from band that I love I smile so widely... because she is SUCH a musical soul…

Of course all the retards around never understand the fine-ness of her taste and hints… but those are the same following Bieber and thinking the ex was good for Adam, while she was certainly NOT, given how much she has made him suffer in the end (but I will forever think they looked amazing together because yes, she was beautiful. Just NOT the right person for him, but no one can deny Anne was good looking aside him, and I certainly won’t. They were like Barbie and Ken together… but I prefer substance over dolls anyway so I don’t miss those good pictorials of them at all to be honest now that he’s happy again with someone way more apt for him).

Behati stands tall above in all mattering departments, ESPECIALLY when it’s about taste, connections and personality (while still looking GORGEOUS you know), which are things that truly define and maintain any good human bond:

Behati Prinsloo has an awesome music taste

I LOVE her attitude and it makes me sad somehow people bash her just because she is with a much sought after guy.

But she is making THAT guy very happy… and I can see why and I hope really this can go on… even FOREVER, if so good are going to stay the outcomes.

Of course nobody has no say on Adam’s life, and it may take him FOREVER to find his REAL half… but you all know I am really supporting this latest turn of links for him and I see the positivity it has having on him, even BY CONTRAST.

what I mean with “by contrast”?

For instance Adam and Behati are now apart because as you know Maroon 5 are on tour in Asia and this time she isn’t with him.

You know what I wrote in last post… that Adam – who suffers touring life – had an IMMENSE benefit in mood by having Behati alog him touring in South America.

Well, look at his tweets now that she isn’t with him in Asia and you can TELL he’s already stressed and that his mood isn’t the same it was in South America (no matter the fact the tour is shaping up to be extra successful and he’s making money in there in more than just one way…).

Adam Levine can’t stand the touring life without his baby Angel B…

He MISSES HER already, and this makes him suffer the touring life more.

The first tweet about being in Asia from him was also a message to Behati and her love for sea… (and SO reminding of her image from the top of their Rio De Janeiro’s suite where she called the day “PARADISE”, ain’t it? 😉 Those two are so cute with their back&forths hints… SO cute):

Adam Levine shows us (and Behati) how the sea is in Busan, Korea 😉

Yes, Adam is stressed and he misses his mermaid angel.

Hence the:

1) lack of tweets for some days and

2) useless tweets about stupid band names;

3) the absurd idea of GIVING A TRY AT FOLLOWING FANS (!!!!!!!!!!!) which may turn into Twitter wars (I would be entertained by that actually… but in the long haul we all know any celebrity who follows fans put them on Mute and separate them from the real Timeline list, so it’s not really a “thing” other than for naive people to pursuit 😉 and I for one I would prefer Adam would stay away from that kind of fake proximity with over-zealous crazy-heads… but his choice, I mean 😉 he’s adult – or something ;))

So Adam may follow fans? HILARIOUS. And probably his WORST IDEA ever after that goatee 😉

I don’t think it’s casual that just after the tweet about following fans Behati tweeted an amazing quote from an hilarious sketch movie… maybe a way to tell him “Dude, don’t go there… you know what mess would ensue?” 😉 (I also can see all of her crazy heads mad about Adam trying to delete their tweets hating on Behati in hope to make him follow them without pissing him off… oh, my… that would be like comedy entertainment… 😉 maybe it would be fun to have Adam follow some of the crazy heads? Time will tell 😉 All I know is that certainly I am NOT interested in that. Twitter is fun but ain’t life ;))

Austin Power!!!

For a while Adam will have to endure his Angel’s absence though.

It’s gonna hurt and he clearly isn’t ready for it (so much great sex wasted… and you know when they are together EARTHQUAKES keep happening – in LA it has happened already FOUR TIMES… included in September so maybe for the poor Asian Countries is actually better Bee and Adam aren’t shaking one another or their powerful shags would be damaging those Countries already proved by Earth Power way too much recently… 😉 ) and I get amused in realizing how much he just depends on human touch daily. He’s so cute when he feels lonely… you can read his mind through everything ;).

Poor Behati is renewing her VISA card in London and she will have to come back to the USA/elsewhere for some working action… I hope they can find as I said above some space to reunite before this long month apart ends though because Adam has been treated so well by her that he may crack without her presence aside for more than 10/15 days (they have NEVER been apart for more than 8 days in a row so far… which is AMAZING, but which is gonna cost Adam now a HUGE sense of solitude… and that is The Power Of Love, deal with it ;)).

Behati has always been with Adam these months they have been a couple, no matter how quietly (for instance we got a cute note out from Billboard article about that thing of how Behati was even with him at the reception for the show in Malibu at Matt Burnett’s house… but again she did NOTHING to gain visibility out of it… she is just amazing):

And again Behati kept all this quiet. SHE IS WONDERFUL for Adam

I hope they will also be together when on October 17th (Adam and the guys will be in LA then, after their City Bank gig) Adam will debut on American Horror Story

Because he will need some caring hand on him to make him stand the watch of his beautiful face & body slaughtered by Bloody Face 😉

October 17th: Adam and American Horror Story. Is this perfection or what? 😉

I can’t wait for this and you know it 😉

Ops… I said this post wouldn’t have contained anything but Angels and Love… but a story about an Asylum where the Hate and the Devils reign maybe is a bit off topic?

Oh well…

I am so into this new AHS season you will forgive my wandering there 😉

Take a look at one more promo for it, and shiiiiiverrrrr!!! 😉

I will fight the creepiness with the fact we are now going to the clinic visiting Margherita and Eva…

So no thrills and thoughts of evil will remain too much on me (but I like these shivering thirsts… AHS is awesome!).

What else?

I think nothing else…

Wish you all a wonderful time filled with ALL love and Angel Wings fluttering.

Life is marvelous.

You just gotta be receptive to it the right way and Love will find always a way to make you believe anything can turn up positively 🙂

And make you SHINE from the inside.

See you in October, folks 😉

(I promise not to write another post before… I PROMISE) 😉

Missus ( and incoming God Mother) Z. 🙂

Today I lost my Hero.

Steve Jobs. 1955-2011. Goodbye HERO

Steve Jobs, the man whose life has inspired mine since I started to know him and his amazing vision, has died due to pancreatic cancer (cop off the “PC killed Steve jokes… there’s no fun in this at all, thank you) and I feel so null and void inside.
Till I realize what Steve has inspired me and millions of others with through his powerful, restless imagination, and work and accomplishments, well that won’t ever die, nor fade.
Ever.
That’s the legacy of a man whose importance stands there with geniuses of history of humanity.
Einstein is Steve’s peer.
Gandhi is Steve’s peer.
Newton is Steve’s peer.
Leonardo is Steve’s peer.
This is the range of Steve Jobs.
There are tons of words I could say, and tons of images and pieces of writing I could address you to…
But always I think of these two whenever I think of Steve and who he was, and IS STILL, because in them you can feel the power of dreaming he had and knew he could share to push many other into breaking barriers, never feel lazy to try and try and try until they could make that dream a REALITY.
And beyond.
Because if there’s a thing that Steve has taught me and many others to do, that’s the fact you don’t ever have to let things drag you down, slow you down, blur you off.

Life is precious… too precious to waste it in mourning and regrets.

He said that death is the greatest inventions because it gives rooms for NEW.

Steve wouldn’t like us to waste not even a second crying for him, if that second could be devoted by us to make our dreams become true.

So in this day which is forever sad for me, I leave you with Steve’s Stanford University Addressing, and with the amazing Think Different commercial he made with Ridley Scott.
I do it because in his charisma and words and LIFE you can reckon how far a man’s imagination can reach and make, so that you all along me can keep honoring Steve and his touch on humanity by spreading THAT vision which is a pure message of HOPE and trust in the best qualities of human beings (and God knows how much we need such a positive perspective on things in such dire and dark days).

Steve Jobs. 1955-2011.

WORLD’s HERO.
MY HERO.
Goodbye and Thank You.

The amazing Ridley Scott’s commercial, and the impeccable and fast forward Apple style:

Missus Z.

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. 🙂

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 ;)):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

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 ;):

Error
This video doesn’t exist

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 usedsee 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.

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 Bedvideo.

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:

And this one too:

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 possibleblame 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
This video doesn’t exist

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:

This video doesn’t exist

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) :

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 restaurantsbecause 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 ;).

Adam Levine and Anne V: love is in the air, Dec 21, 2010 - 2

how could somebody hate on you, so shining…?

Hope you and the guys have a blast these days, and look forward to meet you several times in Feb/March.

Then the game of shame… but they are so beautiful, even the awfulness at Staples gets cleared by their shine:

And maybe in Fall, too ;).

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.

😉

Kisses, Z. :O)

Soooooo.

Oldie of Adam and Anne in February 2009 at Lakers game: they just got back from a getaway weekend together actually,prior to his San Francisco gig and prior of her Victoria Secret's Fashion Show.

Lotta to list and to say, so we better start it off.

I’m kinda dead after a really fulfilled time; I had a wonderful and intense 4 days in row Halloween Party time, and I gotta thank that in Italy 1st of November is National holiday, because if I hadn’t rested that day after parties and Lakers Watch, the subsequent further two days, where I have caught both Sting and Prince playing in Milan, and subsequently on each occasion wake up at 3.30 am to catch the Lakers, I would have probably died.

After the intensive streak, even though I was thinkin of updating blogs, we just went on a calmer lock-down along Karim, and enjoyed quieter weekend, a couple MORE Lakers watch on Garda Lake (we brought Swifty along too! My lovely horse enjoyed the surroundings of the lake a LOT!!!) and one back home, and so today which is Wednesday the 10th th November I update, like a week after the originally planned time.

I always try to plan these updates being less delayed, expecially now that Lakers play every two days.

But it never works so, and now I am realizing it won’t get any better in incoming months, so…

Basically…

Get used.

kobe the god bryant. 3 nov. 2010

My days are filled… so much that I am actually thinkin I will have to follow dad’s advice and hire a personal assistant of some sort.

Trouble is… I don’t want to.

I’m the ultimate organizer (and control freak) and to delegate… still a thing of horror to me.

kobe in his glory against Kings, 3 nov 2010

But I have to admit especially with the new USA partnership AND all the things that our incoming marriage brings on the table, a secretary or an assistant might be of an extreme help (just today I had a whole day long meeting which dried me completely off, but which was a complete success, too).

Let’s see ( I will talk more about this later).

Now back on the sporty side, just so I get back by osmosis some kick ass energy  😉

Because there’s a lot (well, there’s a lot everywhere actually that has to be said… life and love… whoooo!)

Yep, I am 6 Lakers games behind commitments, and I will limit myself to post the videos of the games, and just small footnotes because you know that my daily commentaries about Lakers gotta be checked @lakers blog @latmedina…through my daily “Post of The Day” that I link in my own Twitter.

Yep, Lakers have been a test in sure.

But mostly for my skills at being awake, because we don’t have a concern in the world with this INCREDIBLY amazing team.

First game I gotta recap over was on Halloween Day, and we won over Golden State Warriors:

Then there was the Game of Brotherly Rivarly, the one against Memphies Grizzlies of Pau’s bro, Mark:

Pau owned his bro, Lakers just dominated, and we truly are in a great spot with this bench.

W-O-W.

kobe and pau. love and respect - 1 -

Killer B’s and not only.

Kobe and Pau Love and Respect 2

We just rule.

On the subsequent game, the first back to back of the season against the Sacramento King, I had to give up to chatting and game at half of it.

Yep, I was dried up after 6 hours sleep in two and half days, and after a great Prince gig; I tried to stay awake but I wouldn’t have been able to work if I had followed all the game live.

So I waved goodbye to the Fam and went to bed, ASSURED we would have won.

Kobe already in the first half looked fantabulous… so I had no doubts or worrisome thought whatsoever.

Look?

Of course I was right.

Cos THIS was the game:

What say over that?

WE are so much better than anything else and Kobe… wow…

Old from 2008... yummy old I mean. Any almost naked Adam Levine is so.

Karim went at my lab this lunch break to allow me to watch the half of the game he saw live and I did miss to sleep and I couldn’t even eat properly, raptured by Kobe’s shining greatness.

I suppose my system had to sleep and pile that greatness today and not yesterday, because I would have got an overload if after THE AMAZING PRINCE, and after Pippo Inzaghi triumphant game against Real Madrid, I would have also got to memorize so much from him.

Kobe Bryant is unbelievable.

Unbeatable.

The Best.

THE GOD.

End of it.

Accept it, surrender, and bow to him- NOW.

You will have to eventually anyway.

Oh, and while we’re on that subject of Milan, sure I missed to not being in San Siro to pay tribute to the great Pippo… I loved this interview he gave after game: really, really enchanting and true and real. Now take what he did (this is the only comment I could find, and I like the internationality of it 😉 Guy is really into Pippo, too!):

Pippo is unique too. His ethic and love for his sport actually is similar to Kobe’s although class-like he’s not a god-sent.

After that game it was time to face homies… to be more precise Toronto Raptors (finally a game where we got tested and we went a bit messy, but survived thanx especially to Pau and Kobe and Derek. Defensive efforts gotta be checked, but I prefer to be tested rather than not you know it):

Actually the game was watched by us not live… because we were at my Garda Lake house but weather was stormy and the whole of internet connections (Vodafone AND Wind AND 3…) seemed off.

Adam Levine and Anne V at Liv club in Miami, 5 November 2010

We tried to make NBA pass work then we gave up and went to bed (of course tv screens were broadcasting Miami Meat… hilarious cos the Meat LOST… ahahhaah!!! Double pleasure because as you will see later in the Babies’ section Adam and Anne were in Miami that weekend and after the game they went to famous nightclub LIV, celebrating their love and getaway, and certainly Lakers victory AND Miami Meat débacle…).

No chats either but when we watched the game the afternoon of Saturday we LOVED it even though (or maybe exactly because) it was battled out.

Out of a 6-0 run we faced then Portland Trail Blazers, our archi-enemies and at home it happened that Pau Gasol just was unstoppable.

Wow, the game was like a trashing in motion.

Actually the only one not being amazing and incredibly dominant was (hold breath) exactly Kobe.

I wouldn’t start (like BSPN will do…) to break the hair in four pieces about that: it was just an off shooting game, it can happen, and the point is last years we would have suffered out of that, this year instead we just ridiculed our always loathed Portland rivals.

I wouldn’t really be worried at all: in fact poor next in lines, YOU Timberwolves: Kobe can just have plans to eat you alive just to prove there’s no trouble in Lakers Land (and there’s NOT for real):


I am honestly in awe of my Lakers.

And on the other sporty side, Ferrari might win the racers title still (let’s hope, even though Alonso ain’t my buddy); while Milan can have something still to say in Serie A and Champions League.

It’s a good moment of the year 😉

We terminate the sport section with the latest of the 6 games that I had watched…

Exactly Timberkittens Timberwolves this past night:

Kobe points helped us win a way too battled out game.

beware NBA ranking-writers... Adam can hurt you this way 😉

It’s still early seasonal time and I’m actually glad we won, though I had to re-watch the game during today’s lunch break at work cos again Internet and NBA pass were messy this past night and after a stream of lost attempts at regular viewing I stopped chatting and watching and went back sleeping at 5.30 am.

In time to see at least the end of the OT – THAT game was the one broadcasted on tv… shame still on Sky Italia – after which  the 3Chokers finished getting beated up by Utah Jazz (ahhahhahhha…. LOSERS… lmao…).

Wonder if Divine Adam will see his wish coming true and rankings of NBA pay more due respect to our Lakers (I doubt it).

We just need to tic and toc next one… that’s gonna be demanding cos it’s Thuggets at their home and you know I have always a certain scare of Denver (well… not scare.. you get me what I mean, right?).

Anyway, Lakers are gonna THREEPEAT.

No doubts.

Let’s enjoy the ride up and down, and let’s not freakout when (soon or later it’s gonna happen and it will be healthy) we will also lose some games.

Adam in the dark. With transparent tee. Yes, please.

Well, a bit of life blogging now, although I have already said something up above.

Our own Halloween has been easily spectacular, and you know a bit of it if you follow me on my twitter.

4 Days party time, from Thursday to Sunday, and each party was amazing, even though us hosting more than 70 people at Karim’s flat was obviously the best part of it.

We love to throw huge parties, but we are also very open in forcing our best peeps to stay and then help us clear and clean it all the morning after (yes we did ;)).

Everyone had a blast at each party, we met also new interesting people along (a rarity these days) and unsurprisingly our outfits (see previous post) were totally loved and praised and probably made a few a bit green… all good&better, yep ;).

more hob 2007

Of course we keep getting questioned about our marriage, everywhere we go and at any event we are at, and that happened also on the Halloween feasts… people wanna know every detail but baby… it’s ME: of course you will never know until it happens like we want it to happen.

You just have to know your lives are BOOKED and in August 2011 part of your holiday time will be a 5 days trip to Japan.

My friends are freakin out about that, in the best possible sense of the words.

Adam gorgeous smile on the Today Show

See?

Sometimes the fact I am rich and I marry a RIDICULOUSLY richer person is REALLY good.

We can make every person that we love fly and stay with us in one of the most fascinating places ever in OUR great day and this is just sublime.

I shouldn’t brag because that doesn’t depend on any talent or merit and it’s just fate… graciously kind fate that we are upon to; but one thing we can control over and it’s this: since we can afford it, we’ll try our best to spread the joy and make everyone feel in a dream, because it’s how we feel and friends involve friends in their best assets ever, genuinely and generously.

adam riding on Geneva Lake July 2009 (Travis Schneider)

While we were getting questioned about Japan, marriage and trip, we actually also made our minds up about how we will spend New Years Eve, and where: no more Prague or Budapest, because Karim will be there next year for working duties and so we will be there anyway…

We chose Cote D’Azur and Montecarlo 😉

Not bad.

Classy, and nerby and FRENCH.

We’ll love to claim wishes in French those days…

His Hotness. Any angle of Adam Levine is perfect.

I can picture us there already 😉

Beside that, and among lots of incumbencies (for instance, this incoming weekend I can’t be in Rome as Maroon 5 come – see later – because from New York it arrives our wedding planner and we can’t leave Milan… so my family house there will host Marghe alone that better give me QUALITY stuff from their RDS showcase ;)…) we are starting training up for the incoming snowboard season.

Yep.

Soon we will get back to mountains.

Too bad among the many things we’re among (you know mine more, but trust me Karim is as taken if not MORE sometimes… but he never whines. I’m the whining one ;)…) we are ditching what was one of last year’s most  entertaining habit: the Wii League Thursdays.

We will resume those maybe exactly in the friendly weekends at mountains?

I hope cos we really like playing Wii all together.

But these times to arrange a total Thursday all together is really hard.

Shooting from May 2010. Adam Levine

Weekends are easier for these things 😉 and we just had learnt to cope with a limited optionality of time.

Talkin about my Marghe, she keeps deny that but to me she’s willing to become a mum and albeit I believe she’s not pregnant yet, I wouldn’t find strange if she would come and confess at ANY time she actually is expecting.

That golden guitar is blessed and anyone attending a Maroon5 gig this year knows why 😉

Can two BFF be more different?

I totally see her fitting as mum already.

While no thanx… I would DIE&Freakout&Refuse any of that now.

Now and for the next 10 years.

I’ve got too much more to see and experience before I can be a good mum.

Until I won’t feel fit, no way.

Karim agrees luckily.

He also has lots of plans to follow, build up and accomplish and even though he loves kids, he doesn’t feel like be a dad for a long while more.

Pheeeew (I would have refused to marry if I weren’t sure of that correspondence in timing between me and him).

We are looking forward watching the Milan expo of Japanese erotic art.

Adam Levine passion for photography is a well known fact.

I bet none of you is surprised… are you?

We drag our inspiration by all kind of artistic inputs… from Victoria’s Secrets to Murakami to Stravinskji to Flaubert 😉

Oh, and there’s a whole Theathre season we will catch up to (ah… if day time would be 36 hours… how many more things we could afford to do!!!)

Art is so mattering for us.

Shame that for my Country and Karim’s Second home… my Italy is at such an ashaming point we have left one of our best and most incommensurable treasures DISAPPEAR forever.

I’m obviously talking about the Pompei Shame three days ago.

It’s beyond disgusting… and totally in hands with the shame that our politic is.

I’m sick of all this.

SICK.

Why my beautiful Country has to suffer all this?

Why my generation won’t raise up?

This saddens me so much… because I see so much uncaring and superficiality… but I better change subject or I’ll either cry or kill someone.

Well, what else then?

Adam Levine, James Valentine, May 2010 HAO shooting

We will be in New York for the Thanxgiving time, celebrating with Karim’s family in the Big Apple cos we are finally looking also for a two room Manhattan pad.

YESSSSSS!!!!

My deck of house’s shaping dreamily.

But we really just want a small getaway, REALLY small, a bedroom and a kitchen, so that we can avoid hotel rooms.

We still want it in the Flatiron/Gramercy zone and hopefully, especially with Karim’s parents in town, we should seal the deal (even if we get the keys in 12 months it will be okay).

The New York spot will be useful also because with the new working partnership I’m meant to travel frequently there for touch&go’s and to have a pad and not have to rely on hotels for maybe 18 hours just stops would be light years better, you know ;).

Talkin about Thanxgiving...wow.

Lovely Maroon5 laughing. Awww.

Last year memories of when Karim and I still parted for long days… it was the first time I realized I couldn’t really enjoy time parted from him, if it weren’t just a day or two.

I’m so in love, bitches 😉

And yep… I’m already casting marriage gowns.

ITALIAN designer, of course (Vera Wang? LMAO… second rate stylist, sorry. There is just two types of fashion: French and Italian. The rest is not really serious).

Oh… we will have to forcedly rush back to Italy straight after Thanxgiving because I gotta check Lady Gaga in Milan, ;).

Okay… while we are on music subject, let me just say that latest EMA were hilarious.

They should just stop doing awards… they’ve lost any serious relevance and while I was ready to take off Grammies from the lameness, last year Taylor Swift’s win proved also Grammy are a sham, so I’m just on a roll and include them in the whole same list too.

Before I get into Maroon5 territory, let me post a series of videos out of the GREATEST PIECE OF TELEVISION OF 2010.

It’s “Vieni Via Con Me”, on Rai Tre, with Fabio Fazio and Roberto Saviano, the author of Gomorra, which was broadcasted two days ago (November 8th).

Roberto Benigni - Vieni Via Con Me Rai 3

It was the time when I grew back hope in the good genes of my Countrymen.

The highlight, as everytime he does anything, was the purest HUMANIST of the past 6 centuries: ROBERTO BENIGNI.

This man is a miracle of grace.

I post the videos… and I am sorry for any of you who don’t understand him… you should learn Italian just for it.

He’s a genius: the genius blood of his Tuscany ancestors, which gave life to the greatest artistic geniuses of all time, runs blessingly in him too:

The monologue:

The part in honor and with Saviano (totally bewildered and in awe of him).

And then the most awesome and deep and moving rendition of the immense song “Vieni Via Con Me” by Paolo Conte:

My Country is THIS one.

The one who cannot take anymore to be ruled and to dwell into disgustingly thick criminally bound links; the one who’s leader in culture, arts, genius… not the one who seems half-brained through bad opium tv made for idiots.

Italy still has hope.

And pride.

Thank GOD.

Gorgeous. M5. Nuff said.

Time for goodness in music now… and there is LOT to say and track, so… get ready.

Not many videos today, because until kids get back in Europe for promotional duties (starting exactly with Italy) not much is around (some will come from Monday past night in San Francisco as well though, soon or later, I hope), but we have TONS of pics so don’t complain 😉

New and old, of course.

Let’s start from where we left two weeks ago then 😉

Lovely babies where on the last steps of their national tour second leg, and where in Windy Chi Town.

From second leg of the tour - 1-

I was composing tables to guess which space of time Adam and Anne had to complete their respective tasks (question: was the swimsuit shooting of her in Turks and Caicos the one for ANOTHER – it’d be the 7th consecutive… kinda unprecedented! – annual spread for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition? I hope we’ll know about that sooner than later… ;)) so that they could reunite for Adam’s annual Halloween Party and  I was thinkin “Wow… a life on airplanes… but sure it values the efforts!”, when following latest streams of music bites along, that in some moments also made Divine Adam filled with expectations.

When Adam was wrapping up gig in Chicago, Anne was returning in her New York house btw.

I was thinkin they might have gone with matching outfits (Adam and Eve?) but I undervalued the need of Adam of being a kid and loving a lot being covered in bruises and bums in all of his Halloween latest offering as for disguises (not that we complain… >>> *hotness* never makes me complain ;)).

from second leg of the tour - 2 -

In the Chicago date Adam actually went walking in the middle of the crowd (imagine the squealing…) 😉 and I honestly REALLY hope he will replicate that as many times as possible (prepare bottles and jars to store his sweat… one day technology will be able to clone that 😉 *kidding*… THEY COULD ALREDY!!! Okay… still kidding ;)) because of course that can make anyone go crazy.

It’s also their way to be totally lovely when they meet up fans that keeps making me enjoy these guys.

They’re good guys.

Adam made Dallas' director of luxury Zaza's Hotel gift him with a strange piece of vestiary...

Guys were very thankful for the way the month of October had made them feel, and as it always happen, I melt when they are so openly cute (aww).

I also really enjoy to follow the ongoing tacky taste of Adam for his kiddy requested underwear (oh, Adam… Calvin K. is disowning you…), as the gifting of what he asked for in July keeps going on… *sigh*

Luckily after that, and after Anne already did (see previous spaces in this blog and previous post) he managed to be his perfectly loveable self when he also shout out to little Penelope for her runaway introductory contest (little girl has the loveliest godfather ever 😉 and of course she DOES love him… secretely? lol… I’m sure she does love him openly ;)).

I still don’t know (I got mixed reports on that, and I guess they/he might have need rest, but you never know with hyperactive boy…) if after the gig they truly went to beautiful Chicago Club Cuvée, but if they did, they sure enjoyed a wonderful location ;).

Anne V in the spread of her covered Elle Sweden November number. So beautiful she is.

That very day, on the Anne’s camp, I received from my friend Anne-Karin the Elle Sweden November 2010 number with her on the cover (gorgeous… girl has a wonderous face) and this you see aside is the picture I love the most in the inner spread.

Karim kindly read for me all the Swedish Interview and for sure we would love to check some of her New York Tips when we get back there in two weeks ;)).

One more thing you should get note of: BID ON THIS GUITAR FOR CHARITY, thanx. ;).

THEN ENJOY THIS VIDEO OF ADAM ON ELLEN DEGENERES (TOTALLY ADORABLE), as prize ;).

Now after Chi Town the guys had their last date of the second leg of the tour in Minneapolis and that was also the final one along One Republic.

Adam enjoyed their company (it’s not the first time they chose them as openers actually), and was openly praising them – so when we will get a Ryan Tedder + Adam Levine tune?

I would DEFINITELY love it.

Oh yeah.

More shots from HAO session 3 -

I bet the way guys said bye to their bus driver got well enlightened by said bus driver’s mum.

Awww. Kiddy Boy…

Just when the tour was wrapped, we got the assurance they would have come to Italy (I already wrote it in previous post): I’m sorry to not being able to get there, as you know (see above) but well… I can always listen to the radio, also because I generally listen a LOT to RDS Radio anyway 😉 !).

Their stops are Italy on 12, then Paris on 15 (did they save some weekend spread in Rome?? That’d be so sweet), Then there is that Kid BBC benefit you know about since my latest post (CHECK IT) and then on the 17th they are in Amsterdam.

One small voice tells me inside… why didn’t you move your lovely butts here over Europe a bit before?

But anyway better later than ever… ;).

Maroon5 (minus Matty) Halloween 2010 styled 1

But let’s go back to regularly timed updates.

On October 30th, Adam touched back to LA, all involved in basketball talk (lovely…) and actually allegedly Anne arrived home (his home) even before him?

I have probably got that wrong… and they touched down there just together ;)… even though I love to know they hold keys of one another’s places.

That’s very cute.

As cute was Anne’s plixi of herself on Adam’s house balcony with her hair *almost* done for the big party.

Adam as John McClane. AWESOME (barefeet included)

Gorgeous sunset over LA in the background… (hear me sighing out in awe thinkin of my/our house there… that kind of sight takes everyone’s breath away… especially when you’re in love and share it with your lover. TRUST).

Adam announced through Twitter which costume he was going for and when he said that he was going to be John McClane I  thought 1st that he’s really fixed with Bruce Willis and 2nd that he might have been trimmed out his hair (but then the fact got under radar and I was pretty confident Anne would have discouraged it? who knows… ;)).

You actually see from the pictures he didn’t shave head and he was absolutely smoldering actually (is there a way he might be not? Exactly… there isn’t any), as the pics you see here makes you see.

Anne V. Hooters costume for Halloween 2010

Anne was going for the Hooters card instead… and girl was of course hot, and truly NOT in need of boosting up her boobs which are perfect as they are on her totally goddess shaped like body.

I would have guessed for her a different outfit for the party time but whatever girl choses fits her.

And she was lovely tweeting that picture you see (yep… THAT house. IS. THAT. Yeah.)

The party was under every notion applicable a total blast.

Everyone was just windblown by it and naturally: Adam this time magnified himself during his favorite holiday by renting the Hollywood Cemetery.

Yes.

AN ENTIRE CEMETERY, a MONUMENTAL one too.

He did.

Adam Levine as John McClane 2 - by Nathan Scott

Everybody flocked there, and if I only could have I would have sold soul to enter too (I would have know whom I had to address at for it 😉 no problem).

Halloween is really a top way to have a great night out, especially in Hollywood… where everything is twice as crazy and enormous and creative.

And decadent, too (which isn’t bad…).

Photographer Scott Nathan allowed us some privileged shots from the interior too (crazy & coooool!!!), and a lot of LA creative cream was in there to have a set up for good madness (when else is fair to get mad?).

Too bad Alex Greenwald did not show us his disguise ;)…

While Steph and Sam Farrar, how adorable, instead did (Vesper of course wasn’t along ;)…).

Dunno about Jeff Conrad’s costume, but yep it was just like the Phantom Planet + Maroon5 golden joint era all over again allegedly 😉

I loved a lot Seth MacFarlane’s costume as Hannibal Smith too 😉

But yeah… Adam as John McClane and JESSE as Nikola Tesla (awesome!!!) obviously were my fav pieces of disguises.

Maroon 5 Halloween 2010 more

I still found cuter than the originals Austin and Sophia dressed as Russel and Katy, as well.

It seems that not a single one getting there could hold back excitement and the whole scenery and mood and vibe was just off the hook.

I could have collected literally hundreds of reports out of it… after a while I just stopped receiving them because I would have turned green by envy 😉

In a nice way but… still 😉

In Adam's words... action duo 😉

Catch some pieces of news from Los Angeles Times

From VH1

Then from Just Jared

From Akon’s World HitLab 😉

The party was well worthy every kind of praise and ravishing commentary, but I found a bit cruel that Anne had to fly immediately back to New York like… in the wee hours of THAT same morning.

Poor girl, I thought, never catches a break (and she’s made of steel, allegedly… too! Noah Passovoy wasn’t the only one shocked about her resistance there I’m sure!)…

I was wondering which kind of really important task she had to pursue to leave that way from there, after a bubbly chaos and so much fun (Adam slept over the entire after day… happy and destroyed… just saying ;))…

Cuties & lovelies. And badasses. always 😉

But on that you will know in a small while 😉

If you already as I presume don’t. 😉

Adam could stay because the band NEXT duty after the tour was the AT&nT Windows Phone Launch in San Francisco on November 8th.

And of course ALSO because he was due to VOTE in the middle term elections.

He did… of course, even though nothing turned out as he hoped for (well, technically Democrats won in California but it’s hard to take it as a win…).

Also, Jesse wrote a lovely blog about that… I advice you all to read it still (actually he wrote TWO, but the sense is that…).

Jesse and blogging are strictly related and guys’ got a wonderfully empathic brain… catch this one too (btw, I adore Orinoco Flow song too…)

But Anne had to be on the other coast… while Adam had HUGE problems to face in her absence (lol… ;))

Why?

Anne V for Louis Vuitton 2010-2011

She posted one of her new Louis Vuitton campaign pictures while there (the one she shot in Capri back in September… GORGEOUS!!!), but we couldn’t really figure out yet.

Well…

Because she had to answer to Victoria’s Secrets Phone Call ;).

Yes… that kind of FITTING FINALS phonecall.

Something that makes me awe she actually FLEW to  LA anyway for Adam’s party (that was really a love choice indeed).

Yes, after her first actually walkin for Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Runaway in 2008, Anne was actually casted newly for this 2010 edition and…

Anne V Victoria's Secrets Wings to close Country Girls segment at 2010 Show - 1 -

and to make it even more awesome THIS TIME SHE GOT WINGS 😉

Yes she did 😉

I always smile recalling last year when VSFS was broadcasted the guys were back in Switzerland recording and at a certain point in the Alps boredom Adam tweeted that he was finding solace (“Paradise” actually) watching the last year’s show (which wasn’t even that good).

For a modelizer of his genre, sure nothing can look as inviting as a Victoria’s Secret catwalk… but then and now are two very different “Adam”… and it’s one of the models about to walk that catwalk (show gets recorded TODAY and broadcasted on November 30th) who has changed him so much.

I find it awesome.

Anne V Victoria's Secrets Wings to close Country Girls segment at 2010 Show 2

I wonder if he had imagined by then a year later he would have been with one of the winged ones 😉 (sure that plan sounded makeable enough at any time… ;)), not to mention the record holder for most consecutive apparition in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition ;).

Mostly I wonder if he had imagined this link would have turned him into an openly exposed overtender guy, who shouts out freely at his ladylove full of pride and joy for her achievement.

He’s always been that to me… but now he lets this shine along for everyone to see.

That’s very much a great change.

Immediately after Anne’s casting, and in race for winning “most miles flied over in shortest amount of time”, the two lovers left the respective coasts to toast themselves together in a private weekend time (awwww), in between at that point Adam’s duty in San Francisco with Windows and Anne’s Victoria Secret Fashion Show Runaway set for being recorded TODAY.

Anne Vyalitsyna and her first Victoria's Secrets Wings 😉

Anne got cheered by Adam’s assitant’s wife (Penelope’s mother) about the getaway and the working achievements and her answer to her was so sweet and full of familiar vibe I pictured immediately the 5 of them going on holiday all together… maybe soon a 6 trip? Okay okay… I know… I’m reading too much into stuff (it’s my soon-to-be-bride-mode ;)).

While Adam and Anne were flying (we discovered later they were flying to Miami, for a very bouncy type of weekend), we got served the news Maroon5 along Buddy Guy(WOW!!!) and Sara Bareilles will lighten up the Capitol Xmas Tree for the Presidential Stay.

Wow.

I wish I’d be in Washington December 9 for sure 😉

Hands All Over everything's that's THEM.

Then on November 23 they’ll be on the New Conan O’Brien tv show and on December 10 they’ll be East Coast again with Jimmy Fallon (more Questlove greatness to mix with? Yes please).

More awesomeness (and a straight Amazon + iPad purchase by me) was this awesome piece by great artist, writer and filmaker Andrew Zuckerman and his new piece of art called “Music”.

Just get a glimpse and then GO BUY everything like I did.

Amazingness, indeed.

Back at our Lovers (I started to call them ASquared like DSquared fashion brand… I will change it in a while I hope… but these pictures of them glued won’t help discourage the twining comparison ;)), Anne had time to share a cute article from Modelinia, while they were expecting to…

Oh yeah!!! They ended up PARTY AT AWESOME LIV CLUB WITH TIESTOOOOOOOO!!!!

Yes.

Tiesto.

Everyone knows I flip about Tiesto cos I love his music to pieces… awww.

Adam serenades you know who... 😉

And well, Adam also had ways to serenade Anne through Karaoke at Liv private boxes, and not only, too 😉

*cuteness* 🙂

Then if real elections didn’t go well for President Obama and Democrats, at least Maroon5 were crowned Senate of Pop by MTV/VH1 (of course, in a land where Bieber is President, you cannot really feel okay… *sigh* ;))

But ehi… it’s never gonna be the same.

Halt.

My boy hangs on with Tiesto… right? (a proper collab… asap!!!):

A place where I would have loved to be in that EXACT time 😉 Tiesto, Adam Levine, Anne V. Liv Club. Nuff said.

Ended the blissful time, Adam put himself on a airplane to fly back to San Francisco.

Well… he put himself exactly into the COCKPIT of a plane… evidence here 😉

Maroon 5 at Fillmore 8 November 2010 1

Anne too flew back to new York for all of her fittings and trials, because she’s got TWO outfits and you can see some of the pics here that I have been landed from friends and peeps hangin in the fashion territory.

Oh… the beauty… 😉

I also got in mail this week InStyle Magazine…

I had already got it anyway though cos lovely daddy passage at Mondadori this week brought me the Vogue Spain number with Anne on the cover along four other beauties and exactly that InStyle number with Divine Adam + VV fashion spread that you know already about (see previous posts).

Awww…. The two should just pose together in a proper fashion mag

For real.

Adam Levine in InStyle and Anne V in Vogue Spain November 2010 Issues.

Imagine the total shine!!!

Same shine, though of a different kind, spread from backstage into everyone’s eyes and ears when legendary Fillmore was graced by our lovelies for the Windows launch gig.

You’d tought traveling was ended?

NO WAY.

Anne V second outfit for VSFS 2010 1

Adam slept nearby airport a bunch of hours straight after gig ended to jump immediately on a plane and reach Anne in New York.

Of course he wouldn’t miss her shine either, gracing VSFS runaway, would he?

Or any of the pre-promotional duties (call him mad… look… 😉)

I melted… the once never ready to use planes man caught 6 in not even a week for her 😉

ADORABLE.

And he seems to really feel fine in New York by now, as she does seems way more acquainted with LA by now.

But heck… she DOES deserve all this. Look at her!!! 😉

Talkin about things deserving, although the category is a bit strange… well our lovelies are nominated for a People Choice Award so just click over and vote, thanx:

Click over to vote for the People Choice Award

So, at the moment Anne ‘s enetertaining the world on the first of the TWO taping of today’s show, Adam is ready to reach her at Armory Plaza (he slept way more than her… officially so that Chovy could melt more his heart… lol…) and sun shines (or whatever: they’re so happy that probably could substitute Sun through their shimmering smiles at one another).

Anne V second outfit for VSFS 2010 2

I wonder if there’s a small small chance that on the over planing of planes these days she will actually fly with them tomorrow morning to Rome too… I think it’s hard given the work but I’d LOVE that.

What other song will he dedicate to his runaway angel after today? 😉

They MUST visit Rome together 😉

Soon or later?

Sooner than later?? 🙂

They are just so beautiful together.

Anyway, music for today (beside good Akon and DREADFUL Katy Perry) will surely be Lady Gaga on that VSFS catwalk and I  am already amazed at almost all outfits.

I surely want EVERYTHING out of this Anja Rubik’s mise (from Zanotti’s spiked boots to the awesome kimono!!!!):

Anja Rubik and Japanese Kickin Ass for VSFS 1 -

Anja Rubik and Japanese Kickin Ass for VSFS 2

But in the end I just wanna Anne to enjoy herself, the crowd and her man and shine along on this beautiful stage.

Awww... they all look awesome... VSFS preview 2010

What more?

I guess it’s all by now…

I wrote a novel long type of  post!!!

And it’s time to go writing some Lakers.

Oh… there in my Today’s post you can follow my daily music tips.

You get that after such a long recap post putting up more videos would be nonsense 😉

Have all a great great time in our breaks 😉

If/when you feel the need to have bits of me, you know, twitter is the only way.

Or either you MUST hang on in the Lakers Blog 😉

Those are my web places only practically.

Daily ones I mean 😉

Luv, and lotta shinery, Z. 🙂

Good day everybody!

21st September 2010 in New York, Maroon 5

Waiting for Karim’s parents to reach us from Malpensa (yep, they will stay here a couple of days… well, not HERE in our loft all time, cos I’d freak out, but here in Milan, yep), and after a very intense working day (where I have finally managed to get back to do some pilates though, so it’s all good ;)) I am trying to fill these pages also because in 4 days we leave and I won’t update blogs till October 13.

We have also decided that Stutter is gonna be our marriage song 😉 yep. Karim sings it too me each day and it just fits our style of lovers. 😉

Think that this same update is likely to be written in pieces so I am starting it now that’s Monday, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’d extend it on Tuesday and maybe even Wednesday (so check the  very likely “UPDATE Shoutouts”).

Adam arrives at Letterman, 21st september 2010

What can I do… I’m busy.

Plus there are so many things on the horizon for me it’s a miracle in the first place if I update blogs at all.

It’s just that I have a couple of words to say, especially musically, so this is going to be kinda LONG post and a bit of a rant too (not really a rant, camon… but probably a very long informative post too).

Before stepping in the music week (some would call it maybe on some aspect a “Mourning Week” but I won’t because to me what’s gonna happen has reasons that have NOTHING to do with artistry, so I’m fine with the outputs, although maybe I can have a regret or two. But that NEVER on the artistic side. You will understand me later… ;)), I have to pinpoint that YEP… in four days we leave towards California where Karim and I will get formally engaged.

Adam At The Grove, 24 September 2010 - 1-

I plan a small change in my online backgrounds just to make you get a glimpse of us together, but in a safe image that cannot be and won’t be spoiled or misused cos we’re not full frontal. Plus for Up’s Sake Karim’s hair are growing back (yeah… you know from my twitter this Summer he went all skin cut because he was feeling the heat. Not that he was not hot there as well, but I like to pass hands through hair so… glad his hair are getting back to be… toucheable ;).

What else?

Oh, yeah… we will go round in Cali followed by SECURITY.

This is because Karim’s parents will be around but also because this is actually the way the majority of Karim’s life has been lived like.

Hands All Over launch party at Le Bain Sept. 2010

That is actually one of the reason he loves to live in Italy for: he has no family or status commitments of no type – or at least he has very few only – and in fact when I was like “Whoooo!!! Security for us? COOL!!!” he was just “Trust me, it ain’t a good thing… especially when you live like that since the start of your life…”.

I always tend to forget Karim’s background.

I shouldn’t but for me he’s… just this awesome man full of heart and talent and brain and sensitivity and for real all the rest disappears and for me… security shit really feels more like… a way to protect such a wonderfulness from scary people.

Adam At The Grove 24th Sept 2010 - 2-

But yeah.. I get it can be demanding for the self to be surrounded by such things since the whole of your life.

That’s why we will live in Italy, right? 😉 (for the foreseable future at least ;)).

At the moment that I am writing NOW, with not big surprise by my side (you know from all my previous posts how I was finding IDIOTIC the type of promotional duties and timetables the guys chose to commit to in Summer for Hands All Over…) all charts are basically kickin in the guts Sweet Babies latest effort (which doesn’t mean, see my previous post with the review, this ain’t their best effort in full fact), because okay that they are entering all charts in the top ten, but that is a serious step back compared from the release of If Won’t Be Soon Before Long.

The chart of USA, which will anyway show a MAJOR decrease in selling numbers (but again, EVERY artist has experienced a decrease to 1/3 of what they were formally able to sell compared to three years ago, see Linkin Park, for instance.. that’s the state of Industry right now…) at the moment I am writing – MONDAY – is a battle with Zac Brown Band (an ass half-pop half-country band which STOLE already the Grammy of Best New Artist from MGMT last edition, and which like all Country acts benefits from the fact the Country fans still buy records and don’t rely on Torrent/eMule/Stealing music), which the Country act could easily win I believe, just because of a series of elements.

Hard Rock Cafe showcase 22 Sept. 2010

Which I am about to detail (and which have been enlightened also before in parts over these pages).

Think that while you read all this two things have to stay clear in your mind:

HANDS ALL OVER IS A PERFECT ALBUM and MY FAVOURITE of Maroon5.

I CANNOT CARE LESS OF CHARTS, especially in days like this where shit generally rules anyway.

All that being said, let me detail my view about the “demise”… Factors that troubled this whole release were:

1 – As I wrote before: Country acts are still BOUGHT by their not tech savvy fans. In this, Country right now is the hugest and more marketable products in USA.

On the opposite side of the mountain, Maroon 5 fans are of the category that has no trouble downloading their songs illegally, being the usual melting pot of pop, urban, mainstream listeners (I give to their more rockish and r’n’b fanbase, which still part of their audience, a more driven will of going out and actually BUY their stuff still… but we all know from the datas of the sharing sites that Hands All Over has been majorly listened and downloaded way before its release… see again my previous posts disgust about this all).

Then this Zac Brown Band record is the second of an hyped band (they got the nuber feature in Billboard on the week of release of the record actually, which tells you some doesn’t it?), and we all know how much that works well, because in 2007 Maroon5 were media darlings as well.

Advantage ZBB, regardlessly of the quality of offering. That is watered down country at best, but ehi, I don’t like Country in first place myself, not even if Maroon 5 perform it actually… And moreover really, Zac Brown Band is a very watered down pop country crossover, nothing as great as Dave Matthews for instance, more of a bastardized version of that.

Adam At The Grove, 24 Sept. 2010 - 3-

Again on the opposite side, the press about Maroon 5 and the general consensus has been moderately cold. A part of the spectrum has reckoned that this is actually their most complete record and easily their best, while the majority has expressed doubts about this all given the fact to ditch the sound so marketable and uniquely theirs of Songs About Jane, after all the world was asking them to put it back, would have been not well taken by the wide majority of their fanbase (which someway has happened, but this is because that fanbase cannot accept a growth artistically of the band. And there, sorry, I don’t follow the “common fanbase” at all.).

Adam At The Grove, 24 Sept. 2010 - 4-

And let’s face… hype of the market is NEEDED in these times of downhill music sales (phenomenon which will keep going on and on till all we are gonna have will be huge debuts, and then quick disappear of lots of “new acts”, unless they won’t follow religiously all steps of planning heads at their record HQs…).

2 – A complete WRONG pick up of the singles to come up with by the babies (a thing that I will honestly NEVER understand, and probably they underestimated too… Okay that you may feel out of touch with contemporary taste, but… THIS much? I have no idea how such a mistake could be made…).

Without a great driving first single, you just cut off any chance of your album to be a best seller, and this especially if you’re an established act, because you instantly gather the feeling from “environment” that you might just not be in tune with common sense anymore (which is awesome if you are the alternative hipster, and way less marvelous if you are meant to be super mainstream).

Adam At the Grove 24 Sept. 2010 - 5 -

You know I was skeptical about the tone of lyrics off Misery for being the first single (see all my previous posts about this topic), even though I loved the happy musical dress of the song, which I was thinking was suitable for the Summer. But by the time I was guessing all that, I didn’t know that in the record there was a song like STUTTER.

For Christ’s sake… what were they on to to NOT picking that up as first single?????

That song was perfect for Summer: groovy, unescapable, boosty, HAPPY (yep, an happy song, that is what people want to hear in Summer and especially if it’s a comeback single…ARGH!!), very power pop, totally Maroon5 and sexy at the right level…

The video would have been SO awesome too (imagine Adam and Anne in that song… camon it would have been AWESOME!!!!), and overhall Stutter would have been IN SUMMER a fantastic hit pretty much all over the world.

Guaranteed.

Give A Little More would have been a good single choice as for number two, even though for me I Can’T Lie is far superior and moreover it would have showed that kind of retro’ sound, mourning but still happy in its sonic perception, that Maroon 5 fans off the first time LOVE.

Yes, because where is clear that the sound has shifted from Songs About Jane (I see it as an evolution, but we know legions of fans are actually let down by the fact they forgot R’n’B because that was in their eyes the uniqueness of Maroon 5 – to me it’s only partially true, but I can understand that point – ), truth is that I Can’T Lie would have content a lot exactly those kind of SAJ fans.

Holy Sky... click on the image to get on the blog where the original image was taken off from (here it's reworked with lights to erase background). He's PERFECT. End of it.

3 – The detachment from the moment they started to surface back with the singles and the time the album was released.

Hewl… way too long gap. Way too long. They had MONTHS to start to create a campaign for this all, and dunno why, they decided to take it so easy they were basically living under the radar.

It’s a choice, sure, they are entitled to it, but this was bound to take a HUGE toll.

4 – The complete let down of the rest of the world as for promotional duties during the pre-release time.

Okay this is something I have expressed concern, regret and disappointment all over and I’m not surprised at all of the outputs it has brought.

I hope they aren’t either because I cannot see how they could expect anything different than from what’s happening in the world-round charts.

You can think it’s not important as long as America works but that is so untrue: in a world so connected, the buzz in the REST of the world shows up is actually a boost and a comfort ALSO for your main market.

And unsurprisingly, the opposite effect drives your main market too (which is happening).

Relevance is a strong formula but gotta be worked over; now don’t get me wrong: to me charting relevance especially nowadays with all the marketing tricks and the general awful taste means a very little, so in myself I don’t really complain about anything because Hands All Over is a magnificent album: but I do believe if they’d just operated differently in launching it and takin more time to also explain what was about that record that they felt worthy and mattering this showdown in charts wouldn’t have been of this register.

As simple as that.

5 – The overall wrong assumption (this time actually by the fans) that Maroon 5 are easily marketable and easily “mainstream”.

Adam At The Grove 24 Sept. 2010 - 6 -

You know from my previous posts I love them exactly because of their richness in sound, so variate and so different, so for me that is actually NOT a minus. Their richness and versatility, which they have made SHINE in this record, is actually their best feature, and the reason they should gain praise for (like in the All Music Guide Review).

This is the measure of their artistic merit and the reason I personally couldn’t care less about their charting power (I never did).

But this is also what makes them have such an hard time making people rate them as greatly as they should been rated.

A rich, variate, educate taste such as the one a music of Maroon 5 deserved, is RARE.

It takes way more than your average pop listener to appreciate that, even though in the end they make “pop”, but “pop” in the Beatles way: EDUCATED pop that merges together all influences in something sonically pleasing and allegedly “natural” to the ear.

Heck, their VERSES are more melodic and hooking up than the wide majority of other musicians’s CHORUSES!!!

Karim's portrait of Adam Levine in his sweet 16. Grungey version from Maroon 5 iPhone app (aww) 🙂

But sure, this ain’t easy to make people acknowledge because they are and will be forever overlooked (unless they don’t go back to a full R’nB sound, which would make the world go in awe for, but which would simply NOT be them artistically… It’d be JUST a PART of them and they don’t want to get back there. And I respect that. A lot.

6 – The lack of sexiness displayed openly in the lyrics this time.

This is one of the tackiest and most stupid critic I’ve heard about this record.

I have addressed it in my previous post because I was sure others would have, and I stand by that: these lyrics are actually BETTER, more crafted, more real and more deep than those Adam used to write before.

They are more manly in the sense you can perceive it’s a man writing them and not a kid; and he SINGS them with way more passionate soul than ever before actually.

But again, in this quite shallow way to hear supposed “pop” music (it’s that a disease?), if you are not explicitly quoting sex you’re not sexy enough (NO WAY… , and a way to sing can be way sexier than the most open lyric, which anyway Adam gave room for anyone else to feel comfortable with, so I don’t see why if he felt these songs weren’t meant to express that, he should have got back to an old trick just because everybody expects that from him all the time…).

Soundcheck in Naples 18 Sept 2010

So okay… whatever happens tomorrow I’m fine with, and I so wish they’d be too, avoiding idiocities like declaring (I actually doubt they did THIS way) to that they’re gonna stop singing about models (this can’t be a sentence out from Adam… he has probably said in their next VIDEOS there will be less face to face action – too bad if any… – ), but I can’t really see why he should stop writing about love and love in his life.

Maroon 5 ain’t gonna be political writers as Muse.

They cannot be some philosophers à la Radiohead, nor nerdy weirdos (in the best possible way) à la Vampire Weekend.

They sing about love and ehi, there’s freaking NO problem with that.

Beatles, Police, Stevie and tons other sung ALWAYS about that.

Stop thinkin there’s a mistake there because those telling you guys there is are probably into metal and they’re not exactly the type of people who’s gonna give a shit about you anyway.

Right?

BMI Interview

RIGHT.

And by the way, just enjoy the music cos this music is really awesome (and no disband… no way ;))

Okay… after these words random (not really), prepare cos I have so much to fill the page with it’s gonna be like a feast of eyes and ears.

I mean.. there’s a LOT.

There is a series of videos from Japan shows starting with Misery:

And finally Give A Little More:

Yes… we have MORE than a bunch of stuff (gotta keep you busy for two weeks or something so I’m keen enough, am I not? ;))

For instance listen to this interview for Y100:

Just put all pieces up will take me a whole day… But anyway Karim’s mum and dad arrive very late in town (tonight they’ll sleep here actually).

Tomorrow they log into… well.. Grand Hotel De’ Milan of course ;).

But stop with my stuff and listen then to this piece from French Radio (more about France later):

Lovely Anne in the maintime is really enjoying Italy, where she came back after she also left Naples to reach London first for the catwalks there, too.

Anne V. at Gilles catwalk, London, sept. 2010

She rocked Gilles show in all glittering glory and a pair of incredible colors and faces on her nails 😉

I guess by Tuesday 28th September she should be moving to Paris for its Fashion Week, bust so far she’s just shone in Naples last week and then after that London Fashion Week series of duties she went back to Italy for OUR Fashion Week (btw, talkin back about Naples times… boy, watching Adam and Anne together in person is a bliss).

They so totally totally shine… I would have never bothered any of them in the hotel, but watching them is like watching Peynet. Their babies could be so beautiful… I know I’m fixed with that sentence but maybe it’s my state of future bride, I don’t know… they just inspired me so well it’s unreal ;).

Talkin about that, and the fact public display by public people can be commented over ANYWHERE, one of Psycho’s frankly freaky friends (oh, btw… Psycho WROTE me emails again… I even answered, in a fluke of humanism… BAD IDEA. I guess she’s still compulsive, but if she really wants to take my advices and move on, I’m sincerly wishing her to find a safe place and a safe pace to cope with her obsessions. I truly wish her to recover… just I don’t wanna her to write me ever anymore, anyhow though thanx…) had the brilliant idea to question me about THIS the other day:

Weirdos rule the web... beware kids 😉 If THESE are the mums...

(if that’s recall you that weirdo DeliaDobbs fake twitter, is not by case…).

Of course these people are way too obsessed, and way too stupid to understand what stays in this blog is a collection of PUBLIC messages out for anybody to know about by KNOWN people.

But I can do all, Psycho’s friend (this one here btw is NOT Psycho… she’s just part of a creek of similar crazies and obsessed people like Psycho is):

Do more sex, weirdo...

I can do all I want with the messages THE ENCRIPTED PEOPLE let us know about right?

Not that these obsessed weirdos that mock like 8 years old other people online could understand anything that exhiles from their 18 hours online lives, of course, all full up for cyberstalk (creepy people. Honestly.)

BeatWeek Magazine Interview on Hands All Over

See, if I were obsessed like you all crazies, last week in Naples I would have followed Adam and Anne and bothered them, I would have taken tons of pictures of them from my privileged position and hotel stay and then I would have shared them all over the web.

BUT I DID NOT BECAUSE MY LAST WILL IS TO CRASH THEIR REAL AND PRIVATE LIVES or to display things they would never wish to display (learn something here, please).

I just enjoyed their sight together when it was displayed publicly in the place they were at.  And kept the memory of the beauty they share around, without attempting any paparazzi-like move (I despise that attitude, also in the fans, deeply).

All that they don’t share for first, or that other news sources with status of media sources don’t claim about them doesn’t belong to web or to any other beside themselves well, and it WON’T EVER BE SHARED HERE… because it’s THEIR PRIVATE LIFE and I do respect it so totally, totally much (I do. You don’t crazies, because you keepon talkin HOURS online about them don’t you?).

Adam and Jesse Flying from Italy to New York, 19 September 2010

What is displayed here is simply a collection of known facts they as well let us know about being public people, collected in timely flow with the help and interest of at least 10 more persons beside me, and displayed on my page just because it is of interest for me being a lover of music and a lover of fashion and a lover of beauty to see my favourite singer together with one of my favourite models.

This is my prerogative because this blog detailes my likes, which they are part of, but it displays that in a very light way.

Now you stalker people stop mirroring my pages, or at least when I wear you off and out don’t go weep: my lawyers are always happy to meet yours anytime YOU FUCKING CREEPY LOSERS.

Go out of web for a while and do some sexually pleasant stuff: I bet this way you would stop spending more than half of the day online, creepy obsessive nerds.

I pity your sad lives with all my heart. No wait: I don’t: I laugh my ass off thinkin at your sad lives actually.

Okay, so let’s go on with the real things, while you keep reading and watching and hearing material out from the very fullfilled past week of Maroon 5.

This is a behind the scene radio piece that talks about the record again:

And another one from Fuse mid show:

There are gems, but my two very favourite things are BY FAR the awesome cover they did on Howard Stern Show of the immortal classic “Let’s Stay Together” by Al Green :

From the Crypt Blog: thank you for saving this awesome music

Click here to listen the download of that performance, which was so awesome even the not expected-to-like-Maroon5-type of audience swooned at the rendition:

Then anytime the guys are on Howard Stern the “comedian factor” in Adam raises up above sky 😉 LOL…

And then the fabulous interview Adam did with OUT Magazine, which is so honest and see-throughable which made me feel totally empathic again with anything he said:

Adam interview for OUT magazine page 1

And page 2:

Adam Interview for OUT magazine page 2

I advice you to click on the shots because along the interview on their site there is also a wonderful video.

I love every single word Adam said there.

He’s so himself there and I like that he likes Gaga, too ;).

Sincerly, he’s so adorable. People who don’t get him really are mistaken about him. He’s a shining soul.

And no matter how simply ignorant people comments about him can get, I love that he has his friends and he’s totally down to Earth about that.

Gay concern?

Just read what he wrote back and forth with Austin Nichols two days ago… No gay concern at all because if anyone had, they’d  NOT tweet anything like this right (and they truly are hilarious that way…)?

Somebody like this is just a shining soul (and he talked about Jakey G. because OUT is a gay magazine, you twits pouring venom over that… World is full of idiots, prudes, homophobics and douches, but Adam ain’t part of any of  it FOR SURE…).

Now take some from Letterman (I saw the Italian rerun like 10 times already ;)):

Hard Rock Cafe showcase new york

Beside the various appearances that you see and hear here as well of their release week (and more are about to come, like Chelsea Handler or Jimmy Kimmel live, where we wait for Adam to display his supposed amazing skill at Pop-A-Shot… which we honestly can’t wait to witness as well!) there have been showcases and parties (excellent choice… Le Bain… I mean, it’s awesome!!! And talkin about awesomeness, I would SO LOVE Adam and Ne-Yo to collaborate as soon as possible!!)

Maroon 5 at Today Show for ONE

I also found awesome that the resident DJ for Le Bain party was Questlove, who actually had the album with John Legend drop the same day? AWESOME 😉

Adam takes Letterman place

And there have been also a couple of erm… bright ideas about promoting the album release while some others honestly left me perplexed (gifting away one of your HarleyD, Adam??? Not really convinced about that…) on the side of album promotion (naw, not my thing, sorry. Keep the Harley and think still about babies honey, thanx ;)) not to mention a couple of lovely, lovely shoutouts from cutie Sara Bareilles which I cannot wait to applaude as well when they will bring her along in the three european dates that I am gonna check. I so love when they are reciprocally cute with one another

I’m such a lightweight I know (so imagine the effect of THIS shoutout as well… but I liked them all really!)

Interview for Jesse...

In New York there has been another moment where they actually performed the Al Green Cover .

You know how I tend to consider the material they cover like a phase of Adam’s life so I am delighted about Let’s Stay Together choice.

I find it really beautiful, tender, romantic and the way he sings it truly makes you get how he FEELS the lyrics. :).

The special show at Hard Rock Cafe has therefore another try there (though the Stern’s one is superior. Man there they were so flawless they impressed a very unexpected portion of the audience, which is a great thing).

So enjoy:

and then part two:

And there you go, again Al Green :

While we were talkin about Europe as well in the above lines, please check (even though it’s in French) this lovely review about the Westin showcase the guys did in Paris the other week, and that you know from my previous posts too:

Maroon 5 At Westin Hotel, Paris, September 2010

It’s so true that having the blissful experience of catching hem live is kinda a trip into a senseful, erotically charged yet elegant dimension.

I can see their new songs somehow might be difficult to strip down fully on that level, although to me it could be easier with these songs than any out from IWBSBL actually.

While we are on the French time subject, take these videos to detail as well:

There was then some more footage that they shouted about from the VEVO show;

Okay… let’s round it up and off now.

Adam loveliness in written form

Know that on September 30 Maroon5  will play for Facebook Head quarters (yup, where Kanye also did); then enjoy the awesomeness of Maroon5 iPad and iPhone app (oh, boy… there are videos of them as kids… Adam’s hilarious school reports, and tons of worthy things that just made me melt!!! Even my mum went mad 😉 LOL!)

Then talkin about videos, check this one out of the guys thankin us 😉

Frankie: the lady of Adam's house

If you haven’t gotten it yet, of course guys are back on the West Coast and Adam’s all delighted about it (wonder if he went to Lakers Training Camp… I will!!!) which means lovely Frankie has her daddy back again.

Oh, Frankie... you’re SO cute >>>

Allegedly her daddy Adam still a bit in his Peter Pan phase though, because he just shared this awesome pearl hours ago 😉 (isn’t he lovely?… Oh, he is).

Jesse has enjoyed AGAIN Muse this time At Staples Center and I just can’t avoid to keep praising on his musical taste (which is practically MINE…) 😉

Lovely Russian Fairy Anne V. and Florence Majesty - 1-

Before the close up of the post, please, let me have a moment of Country Pride as well (Country in the sense of ITALY, right?) because as I told you Anne has enjoyed firstly my Milan, took the advices I gave for her during eating times there (hopefully those about shopping too) and loved the style of our offerings.

Ended her working commitments there, but not her Italian time, she moved in Karim and I FAVOURITE TOWN, namely FLORENCE!!!

All degrees of awesomeness, really, because she just considers Florence the same Karim and I do 😉 (and we all have traveled the world, so it means something doesn’t it?) 😉

As per usual Anne is just adorable and friendly, and I always end astounded at the way she genuinely endorses and love our food (a model who eats… it’s wonderful and refreshing ;)), so take these because… because I like it (and her):

Fairy Talks 1

Fairy Talks 2

Fair Talks 3

Fairy Talks 4

Fairy Talks 5

Fairy Talks 6

Beside these communications, I had a great Fashion Week as well past week in Milan (beside missing due to rainstorm C’N’C, which was cute anyway they said me), where I have been going to shows and enjoying catwalks and parties and yep… I love beauty and style in all forms, so don’t blame me for being  fashionista because for me it’s all about being an esthete ;).

But don’t expect private pics again 😉 sorry 😉

What else?

I say nothing else for a while.

Unless as I said I won’t have to slightly update THIS post tomorrow or the day after (not a new one though).

I just hope my babies are fine and well with themselves because truth is they are progressing artistically and they have nothing to regret on the artistic side.

Then I hope they will never change A BIT humanly… they are so true and unique…especially that little hyperactive cute punk who wakes up and start to tweet improbable things just as I suppose he wakes up and start to talk with his brain that always rushes in no peace (and that’s adorable, although yep… sometimes certainly embarassing a bit ;))

Anne enjoying San Lorenzo this very morning, monday Sept. 27th 2010

I wish them joy and to keep their pace.

I like that.

I adore their music.

And I’m feeling better due to it (and I am a very happy person in myself, so imagine what specialty has to be the one which can make me feel even HAPPIER).

Enjoy your days folks.

Next time I’ll write here a new post (and not a small update onto an already written post) I’ll be and engaged gal.

Whoooo-Haaa.

Wind of change.

INDEED 😉

Luv, Z. 🙂

Good evening Universe!

Watching a great movie (Metropolis) while Karim sculpts at my home, I am enjoying the vibe of a fantastic day and the memory of a fabolous ride and jumping indoor with Swifty this afternoon.

I have already written my daily Lakers Blog Post and although I was about to just close pc, I’ve decided to update, considering I have to wait to tease Karim sexually till he hasn’t completed part of his work of crafter.

Let me start with the saddest thing bewildering what otherwise has been an excellent, cozy, all loved up weekend for me (if you exclude the fact I suck at golfing, but at least I do enjoy the surroundings there…), namely the tragic death of Shoya Tomizawa, young Moto2GP racer:

I need to immediately come up with something to ease the pain such a tragic destiny suggests to me, and so for how contrasting it might seem, let me just say that on Friday I have reunited (well, WE have reunited) with the awesome crew for one of the best usual programmes we do on the 5th day of the week, namely CLUBBING, baby!!!

It was due to have dance routines.

Because this summer there have been a certain numbers of video and songs that involved dances which have been practiced by us all gals.

And so it was all Ne-Yo (Beautiful Monster); Lady Gaga (Alejandro, my fav dancing jam!!) Shakira (Waka Waka) and Kelly Rowland (Commander).

Not necessarily all the best songs, but a freaking happy fun on a dancefloor.

I had SO much fun I even standed to wake up after not even 5 hours sleep (I still ruined by the Summer hyperactivity, I guess… ;)).

But I have to first list my CURRENT favourite songs post summer vibe, starting with my absolute favourite, namely The Hoosiers‘ “Choices“:

Then my ADORED Fabri Fibra with his genius “Vip In Trip” (boy, how I LOVE this man…):

Let’s put some french class in there with a very good discovery of Italian Summer waves, Zaz and her “Je Veux“:

And then Marina And The Diamonds, with “Hollywood“:

And these were sorta “new” songs out of the tail of backsummer.

But today the amazingness shaped FINALLY over the fact Bang Bang video was available for purchase over iTunes USA.

Which landed to a purchase (of course) straight off the acknowledge, and a repetita play which totalled a whopping 41 plays at lab diffusion system today.

It doesn’t take much to say what I plan for the time incoming after Karim will end his sculpting duties:

We left the guys on the last date of the first leg of the USA tour, and there I was guessing about future plans and the fact they were about to hit for sure England.

Well, less than moments after my post… they shared THIS:

Adam announces September 2010 Schedule

And beside the fact we all DO hope they fload the interweb with their faces (ugly? are you kidding right?), one thing we can surely drool over is Adam’s new icon over twitter.

All together now: Awwwwwwww!:

Awww. Those cat's eyes...

Okay, I’ll try to get back some decent composure (uneasy…) and I will go on with the obvious observation that I can’t wait for them to be in Italy.

Anne V modeling in Capri September 2010

I expected them to hit us because after all we’re the third European Market (after UK and Germany, and above France for international music) and in rapid growth and they are constantly followed here since they’ve started out of USA (this is what makes you go in promotion, the width of the market and how the market is responsive to your stuff.

Anne V modeling in New York atelier, 5 Sept 2010

I so loudly laugh when people from obscure Countries ask them to go there: it’s business that they do, baby, not a funny leisure trip all over the world, you know…

They go firstly and foremost where they have the best assets available, since after all they have to be profitable (laughable that some of the naive requests come from marketing and economical students? For real? I suggest to study better, people… You don’t seem very well onto Economy I fear…).

By now they’re an established band in their niche, to switch that might just not be optionable.

All that said, I keep thinking STILL they have been SLOW to touch down on England this time.

UK is the first Euro market, the Third in the world after USA and Japan.

And you wait till 9th September to go there?

Anne V Billboard on Fifth Avenue

No wise, baby, and it shows in chart.

No wise… but they can come back in their planned time, I suppose.

Luckily Adam’s musical taste is unaffected by not so shareable ideas instead: it’s always so spot on 😉

And luckily there is his always amazing sense of brilliant humour that he entertaines us with, like on the delayed flight heading to Japan, otherwise also known as “The Picky Flight Attendant Saga” or “Troublemaker Badass” 😉

Gosh, he’s so adorable

Anyway, talkin about his adorability and the way some really lucky “one” is allowed to share his light (well, she promanes lots of light too, let’s be fair…) my idea about the two Chovy “parents” to reunite soon was trashed as soon as Adam and Sweet Babies flew to Japan and Anne ended her work in Capri and head back to New York (to work again).

August gone, hello September and Japan!!

We’re still wondering when they will remeet, but it’s cute when they shout out to one another on twitter (via friends and directly).

Luckely there still technology to keep them together.

Japan is cool

Not the same (and this leads to funny porn tweets… and we know Adam is kinda master there…) but ehi, their lives are awesome so better if none of them lament a thing 😉 (and they won’t no worries…).

tokio from adam's room

Oh, and if you wonder… of course I’m green envy that they are in Japan.

Japan…. Japan!!!

MY JAPAN…

I mean… look at the pics!!!

Can’t wait to be again myself in Nihon to organize the marriage of next year.

I can’t wait to get there and to get there in April for August is too late.

Too late.

I wanna get there already this year 😉 (yup… I’m a kid and I say I WANT all the time ;))

Anyway, Adam can enjoy like we can images on Youtube of his significant other shooting, like here, ads (Hugo Boss here, thanx to Florence71 for the shoutout!):

And after all, seems that Sweet Russian Fairy is a romantic heart especially when she feels the distance… 😉 (I’m a bride to be, so of course I share her sentiment there… and I would actually love to see them engaged to marry. But it’s due to my own mindset now maybe? ;))

Take now two videos that the always awesome Jennifer Coles graciously sent to me, and which are furtherly taken from the VEVO show back in July.

This is one:

While this is the other one:

This video doesn’t exist

More now… Because… You know anything about them makes me happy, don’t you? (I fear the problem of street credit is that when you happen to have a truly handsome singer, 95% of your audience sadly – or awesomely – starts to be femalish, and that naturally sends the “alt” and “indie” male crowd the wrong signal that you are something near of a boy band. Sadly, it’s so, even if like in Maroon5 case guys are overtalented and really stylish in their sound, which is composite and layered and variated and rich. They truly can play and truly can deliver live, plus Adam’s got a very silky, peculiar voice which makes everything so special. To change that wrong mindset is not easy, though: by now it’s like too rooted in too many minds. But good luck there, guys… U’d deserve that turning table from indie kids – Grammy people though always had the light in ;)):

Maroon5 Billboard Cover Story September 2010

They must soon be returning in Europe and first in line is meant to be UK I think:

Maroon5 in England

And now the list of February Uk shows (Germany is in MarchItaly in April? My birthday month? It’d be AWESOME 😉 Just name them… Name them please!!!):

Maroon5 Uk February Shows 2011

Ops… I was almost forgetting, but the talk about live shows brought this back to my mind…

For the “Hilarious Idiocities from Crazy People” I wanna let you know that the always hilarious PSYCHO (yup) after the show that I told you she was about to attend in last post actually DARED to send me a mail asking if I did want to see and post HERE pics of that show that she would have land to me…

Ahahahah!!!

Like…. Seriously, nutcase?

Adam portraited by Jesse, 6 September 2010

I mean… really???

That was so entertaining we had a massive laugh at lab.

She’s so crazily obsessive (and gets uglier by the day, too…), she can really believe I could ever want to consider her normal again, therefore I’d ever accept to talk/interact with her damaged self ever in any form again.

Oh, boy…

In Japan you find ANYTHING: pancake cans...

Wake up: you’re a CRAZY STALKER: for nothing in the world I’d ever want to cross you ever again, not even in a virtual safe dimension cos people like you are NEVER a safe bet.

Keep fooling simple or not very bright people… keep being entangled with similar nutheads as you are: my world has NOTHING to share with any of that, for God’s grace.

You are a scary, obsessive, abusive and disturbed person: don’t cross me ever again.

Poor Babies… they have no idea what that disturbed individual could do the day they’d retire, leaving her only “projected life” and ceasing to constitute her ONLY interest in hourly obsessive paths: I shiver thinkin of her and her unaware/similarly scary crew… *brrrrr*: H.E.L.P?

But let’s stop this way too long bracket and bucket of insanity and go finish with beautiful things again to forget such frightening people; so let me talk about  my OTHER babies, Coldplay (awwww all over again!!!).

Well, another awesome thing happening these past few days has been that for the launch of the new Apple Stuff at latest Apple Keynote, both Lady Gaga and adored Chris Martin landed their presence (Chris in Flesh&Bones&ANewSong… which is of course something a future bride to be like me can’t avoid to love):

From NME: Chris Martin executes Wedding Bells at Apple Keynote

What else?

I’d say it’s all said and done.

And Karim has finished sculpting…

CU tomorrow, world (PS: the Italian Translation of this comes tomorrow… now I have WAY more important things to do… you know… Pink Bandanas, Kinky Plays and all ;)… Bride to be, but still a Nimpho ;))

G’nite, Miss Z. 😉

My ass. Literally. Sardegna 2010 😉

My lazy ass (still a fairly fabulous, kinda brazilian one I have to say…) has collected pieces of infos during my awesome (help me say it : A-W-E-S-O-M-E) holiday cruise on boat all over Mediterranean Sea.

I am pretty much singing with angels and have fairies brush my hair and polish my nailpainted toes so to come here, open Noah and start to type over it is like a HARD task.

Hope you appreciate the *big effort* ;)…

Actually, this here is where I have to make all those 127 emails related to Maroon5&Music stuff go, or Yahoo mail will explode.

Hence this first update (note: my fantasy gets dried over titles when I am vacationing… so this is the best I could come up with ;))

Maroon 5 on the video set for "Give A Little More" directed by Paul Hunter

Nah okay let’s be more polite… Although I am still sailing, and I will end this only in Verona on 28th of August (I am at Arena watchin Opera, you know… I am a rocking soul who loves opera too…) the amount of Maroon5 related material was a bit overflowing from emails so at least this has to be done, for how simple compared to my usual posts this could look.

Just a note: don’t ask me for blogs about my holidays.

The only reason I was carrying on with Twitter on holidays (thanx, iPhy: without you I couldn’t live ;), and it seems James shares my iPhone love, yep!) was to let you all know some of it to make you AVOID to ask me about it in other ways ;).

Let’s go then.

Pictures in this pages are either mine, gifts from Jennifer Coles or material shared by Maroon5 themselves through their web spaces.

Same goes for videos, audio excerpts and whatever else.

I start happily with a surprise I discovered actually recently when I wrapped up my magazines I brought with me on holidays.

This was in Cosmopolitan Italy August Issue:

Adam in Cosmopolitan Italy. Aww 😉

We left boys starting touring and enjoying nature and friends and girlfriends along (girlfriends who are very friendly with others stunners around… and I LOVE that in beautiful people ;)).

Adam wins. Anne... erm... not. 😉

Anne V, 15 years old time, modeling for Ralph Lauren (awww!!)

The tour goes on smoothly and beside the crossing over to Canada, where Anne wasn’t involved, she pretty much followed her baby along all time, until she flew Europe to pass her holiday time on August 13 (sadly bummed trip due to a missing luggage… YIKES!!! Those LV maybe? *tragedy* if so…. I would be dark for ages if I ever did miss mines…).

Lovely creature from Russia, – who’s right now frolickin in Turkey – though enjoyed a lot of Summer Life Tour previous to her coming back nearer to National Roots (maybe she should just get a bit better with bowling, but everyone gotta have some minus, after all 😉 And she’s so adorable in everything, to be lame in bowling is totally forgivable).

I mean… she was looking like THIS at 15 (awww… my hairdo ;)).

How can anybody not forgive her a wrong bowling game? 😉

I really like the way the guys are keeping people up during their summer traveling with an equal merge of tour bites, lessical nonsense, fun pieces and… well… also some political and ethical issues that they always put in the mix (and that’s something I love them more for).

Maroon5 Gone Good for Green

We also get to know how many grey hair Adam’s got (they look awesome on him, if any ;))

Ry Cuming joins Maroon5 on Summer Tour. Click for video (via popdirt)

That bowling thing that I was referring about above got on after Jones Beach gig on August 11, a stream of love Adam and the boys loved a lot (and you can see why ;)):

Jones Beach before...

It’s actually a very beautiful location, and it was nice to learn after his kidney troubles also Owl City could finally be part of the tour (I knew I would have LOVED to witness…).

Jones Beach Crowd 11 August 2010

Actually the gig I would have loved to see from this tour would be the Boston one (previous one), because beside Owl City I would have got the IMMENSE pleasure to hear live the amazing Janelle Monae.

I can’t wait to catch her live.

She pretty much kicks ass 😉 and she sounds also as person as a totally down to Earth, amazing spirit.

Every single time Maroon5 are involved with new people, and those people are voices or artists I already like (I got shocked by Janelle Monae on Letterman, and started to praise her BEFORE any of them openly did to our acknowledgement), I get giggles inside.

You know I am HOPING so badly they will collaborate now don’t you? 😉

Not always though my hopes about them get fully filled in.

You know I never lie nor hide my true feelings and I have to say the UK version of Misery video is about the wackiest thing ever. WHAT???!!!???

Do they REALLY like to go harakiri there or what?!?:

Maroon 5 Misery Video. Uk Version. No, NO NOOOO. Barf.

But luckely for every wrong move they come up with ten good things, just like this chat:

or like this further statement about Sound Strike:

And more importantly, they JUST ADDED ANOTHER DATE AT THE GREEK THEATHRE IN OCTOBER!!!! So I will spend a day more in LA and I will catch them two nights in row.

*Awesomeness* 🙂

Aside from rocking crowds out this summer, with ballons and coriandoli and kids’ requests (that’s Adam’s, fyi) Maroon5 have been involved in some fancy fancy stuff in this first part of August.

For instance here you can hear lovely Jesse with Lucy Walsh doing a Beatles cover, which is always amazing, innit?:

Jesse and Lucy do the Beatles thing 😉

Most noticeably though, they have shot with amazing Paul Hunter the video for Give a Little More (finally, a word on the fact in May they JUST shot Misery).

There are stills and I can’t wait to see it (also cos I really really like the song from the live I got of it).

Adam also got featured and enlightened in a episode of MTV US “When I Was 17“.

Needless to say, he was hilarious.

His Zen Tao ability to result at once adorably charming and totally nerdy amazes me all the time… ;):

Adam Levine in "When I Was 17" : awww 🙂

When he said he was “repulsive” I cracked out laughing.

He couldn’t be not even trying (and sure he did, he did try at times… ;)).

Sweetheart on stage

That face would prevent him from any bash.

That’s why he could pass the math exam even being DREADFUL in maths 😉

Adam Levine in New York Post article August 2010 (Model Behaviour)

He still such a sweetheart really really happy about being gifted to do what he loves most to do for living.

He always seems fond to share his gratefullness for the amazing life he got to live.

And that is lovely.

Truly.

Adam also got to find more people to follow on Twitter.

Comedians, Snoop Dogg, Ashton Kutcher, Lakers like Lamar Odom (I was surprised he took so much time before deciding for that, considering he is of entourage…), and rockers like Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee (oh, if I were a fly to listen to some of their chats… 😉 okay, I’m nasty… I know… ;)), and amazing friends like Rob Thomas (yesssss!!!! He found him!!! Love that :)).

And Rob, unsurprisingly, praised and proped Adam and the guys’s tough decision about excluding Arizona from touring.

You know how I love when our guys and their friends and fellow people speak their liberal minds.

I SOOOOOO love that.

And so, unsurprisingly my probably favourite tweet by Adam in all these days was the one when he did explain (more cohesively) his view on retarded Prop 8, overturned in his beloved California.

By the way, gotta admit out of all 36 people that I follow on twitter, Mr. West @kanyewest is MY favourite.

I said it.

He’s just awesome, and he can involve my one and only hero Kobe Bryant in Power Remix... that is just unbeatable in my book, folks, I’m a Kobe freak more than anything else cos the man inspires my whole approach at greatness in life… and allegedly Kanye’s too – great minds think alike –  😉

(sorry Adam, you stay gloriously in the runner up place though. I’m sure you agree with me about Kanye after all ;)).

While we speak about Kanye, his album got delayed till November 16.

This could be a good thing for us, if it weren’t that actually the fact AGAIN they are preceeded by Linkin Park on the sales week of September 14 won’t help at all any plan of ruling charts.

If the first single performances are again revealing of the impact the albums may have – which is generally fairly accurate -, sorry there’s no copetition between the Catalyst and Misery (so far, but of course I’d like to be wrong there…)

Still, on August 17 happy people can preorder Hands All Over on iTunes (only USA? darn…).

Let’s say I seem a bit more excited than Adam about 21 September in terms of priorities… That, or I just partially get the “brilliance” of Sons Of Anarchy… ;).

My HERO Kobe Bryant with Kanye West remixing Power

Whatever happens, I’m fine with it.

And so I hope they are, which I think they will be.

Rules of album chart performances after a decade bands are active (and they are active in a very “indie” kinda way, this regardeless the genre of their music) always have their peaks and lay downs and then peaks again.

I still not convinced by their strategy in promotional duties (skipping completely Europe, focusing on just half USA to tour, putting the first single out WAY too soon compared to the album release date, etc…), but as long as they’re okay and convinced, I mean… ALL is fine.

My appreciation as fan stays in the MUSIC and i don’t care how many I am in company with.

I will listen to them always as long as they’re around; enjoying gigs all over the world anytime it will be possible and cheering them.

That’s it.

Charting is important, but relatively at this point: they are in their niche, and allegedly happy to be (as they should;)).

On tour then it’s what you really get the dimension of cuteness about them.

Not strangely, kids (I mean… little people for real) always grab the true essence of adults, and they love them, don’t they? *swoons*

On the other side, socialites might start to find them a bit less intriguing…

He cracks me up… what can I do?

Boys on Tour

He’s hilarious, and probably has a short memory about a couple stuff… this unless back in *those days* he did not consider Paris H. a socialite, but an “entrepreneur” (yes, I’m being sarcastic… can’t help… and still he cracks me up cos I am SURE he would say that he likes to farts to whomever would present herself to him as a “socialite”. He’s made that way… ;)).

He still a kid at heart, and a funny one, to be precise.

You might find it hard to deal with, I find it quite poetical instead 🙂 (that Arrrr might surely be a Simpson‘s reference?).. and then he comes up with sweet words like these, and one just melts (I can see the goodness in New York Summer rain, both if Adam and Anne are in her apartment, or outside strolling together… how adorable are they?).

Chovy (Anchovy), namely Anne's Pomeranian dog.

Another thing that Adam shares with his belle is for sure a lot of Chovy love

I think as well Frankie could be not so pleased with that, but maybe it’s just cos I personally don’t see the point of small dogs.

You know already I just don’t like them: if I wanted a cat sized dog… I would have probably just chose a CAT (tastes, right?).

Yup I had to point that out cos Adam himself after all likes to verbalize out some pretty strong opinions as he goes on tweeting.

After a while he generally backwards a little, especially when what he said could have been sort of too mean, which can be either disappointing or showing him as a reasoning mind.

Depends on subjects… in all senses, I guess ;).

For sure though he has a personal vision of life, which is admirable even when (and it happens by my side, especially when he goes all relativism and immature-like) his opinion is not the one I follow as well.

Maroon5 rocking DC, 13th August 2010

Anyway, the tour still develop, my antennas are raising, and I hope you can still enjoy these updates even though they come so randomly during my well deserved own summer bliss ;).

Hope all of you nice souls (those who are) can enjoy a Summer even tenth as good as mine is.

It would be still Paradise, believe.

Rock On!!!

Cu later, *happy Zaira* 😉

PS1:

thanx to those writing about enjoying my Twitpics from holidays 😉 I am trying my best to make you all part of a wonderful trip. If you enjoy that, the best you can do is actually coming to Italy and see yourself!!).

Chris Martin surfing in the Hamptons

PS2:

Awwww I was about to forget…

Charisse was so cute in sending me a coupla notes about Chris Martin vacationing in the Hamptons.

I so so SO hope in this brilliant 2010 (musically speaking) also beloved Coldplay can put out the album.

It would be just spectacular cos also Radiohead are there to do it again.

Music is a bliss.

Get into the groove, folks ;)!!!

Z. 😉

Anne entering Beacon Theathre for catchin... well, Adam and the guys 😉

Awwww.

Today is ALL about Maroon5 so deal with it.

I woke up at night, to try and see if the Fuse link was working in Italy.

Answer = NO.

Got back to bed disappointed cos by then the words going from mouth to mouth from those able to witness that was that the gig was being AWESOME (of course).

But at least it was nice to catch the expecting blessed ones able to being THERE

Oh well… we will get some audio and video soon, but I couldn’t avoid to create THIS you’re gonna see out from the pics lovely Queen Jennifer Coles sent me.

Makes for you all easier to see them, right?

Enjoy :

Error
This video doesn’t exist

All that is important to know is that James was delighted, Adam was delighted, the crowd was delighted.

I properly DIE now to hear the new songs.

21st September just can’t come soon enough (just like I can’t wait for October gig at the Greek Theathre… LA… see me? ;)…)

To end this (and remember the Billboard Q&A, TODAY, at 5h30 NY time, okay?), I let you read a lil tweet exchange of Adam just shortly before the gig was starting: makes you understand how adorable he truly is:

“@adamlevine is probably the coolest guy i’ve never known.”

@DakotaHenry I’m seriously so uncool it’s out of control.

@adamlevine hahaha and that is why you’re so awesome.

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E.

😉 Enjoy your day, peeps 😉

Kisses, Z. 😉
