Overexposed Lyricgraphic

Good afternoon and Sunday Universe!

Summer shines on (or burns you out, depends on which town you are at in this moment…), the slow yet hectic rhythms of the Great Season of Tan are starting to take over, splitting days and nights in two very differently paced realities, and I keep feeling so well and happy and in love.

In a little while we’ll be celebrating a year long marriage: it’s been a pure bliss, and I am very grateful for it.

We just had a wonderful sex time on my boat and that is the best way to be sweaty in Summer right? 😉

We are moving back from Liguria, where we spent the weekend wandering over coasts, to Milano because… well… in a bunch of hours there is the Final of Euro 2012 and ITALY is THERE!!!! (more on that later ;)).

The more Sun makes day long, the more I am active so I am not suffering all these short trips, and the change of sights because I am always super energetic in this part of the Year that I simply access to a seemingly infinite bucket of power ;).

And then amazing things keep happen to me; for instance I am now followed on Twitter by Maria Latella!!! (really? awesome ;)) and friends are making a mountain out of this (I won’t be in the limelight ANY time soon… better, I won’t EVER be in the limelight, but they keep telling the days of my super exposure are seemingly coming. *sigh*. I still will be a reclusive super rich kid no matter what, deal with it, thank you, on both sides of Atlantic. I am NOT into fame, sorry 😉 I prefer a good life ;)).

Then the other night we had the blissful chance to share air with the Dalai Lama who has been in Milano; thanks to Karim’s and my family’s personal ties we could attend a special event… it’s my second time witnessing the greatness that the Dalai Lama is and I can’t express… the man exudes purity and sanctity.

Maroon 5 and Adam Levine for USA Today 30 June 2012

I feel… so innerly touched by him.

We have spent a couple of days in beautiful Florence last week instead (we came back this Monday actually because both K&I had work to do there); we got to hang out with our local crew there, and we always have so much fun that way, and we are even starting to develop a Florentinian attitude they say (well, Karim was already good with that: it’s me actually stepping up my game of witty and sarcastic humor, with a side of charming vitriolic shades ;)).

In Florence past weekend we witnessed San Giovanni’s fireworks from a Settignano villa; but being the day of Italy vs England (VICTORIOUS) Euro 2012 game, we skipped most of the anticipation for the pyrotechnical spectaculum in favor of a very loud football cheering.

You know how critical I was at first in this tournament of the NON game of our Italian team, but honestly against England we just DID DESERVE 1000%, and from there I have re-qualified everybody in the squad. Everybody.

I don’t know how we managed later to even DEFEAT MAJESTICALLY the German panzers (the team that I thought would have won it all hands down) but darn we TOTALLY did it and it was epic and we partied all the way back from my parental house towards Milan in the night between Thursday and Friday chanting our asses off like it were no tomorrow 😉

It was AMAZING and now I don’t want to swirl hopes up but you know… WE Have Chances. At least.;).

We are now moving to our house so that we can have THE GREATEST VIEWING PARTY EVER for the Final that we are about to play against Spain…

We all hope we will spend the night out in Milan carouseling again but you never know. You can only hope 🙂

That sporty satisfaction healed me from the tragedy occurred that Le Bronze King Of Overrate James finally won a NBA ring.

Except that he won just HALF of it, being this specific league ring out from half a season.

This is the way I keep avoiding to rage about Miami win.

James Valentine _Maroon 5_Huffington post 27 June 2012

And I am not even against Miami; I am VERY happy for Wade; in fact I would be happy they won if this wasn’t part of the FakeKing hype train machine.

Wade made Miami won; Wade kept them on track with his class and leadership when Bronzey was flopping; but of course the hype is all on the Monkey’s shrine.

It makes me sick :/.

But ehi… Wimbledon started (with some surprises, like Nadal’s sudden and fast loss), I will be following live from Uk the Olympics (and throw bad wishes LIVE to Bronzey, while admiring Kobe, Kevin and CP3 and Wade) and sport is just too awesome to be carried up and on with heavy hearts right?

Right 😉

I am sure by now all of my long-time readers have already decoded that I have filled this post with Maroon 5 related pictures (which I wasn’t used to since when Mr. Adam Levine betrayed my faith in his artistry signing up for ~~The Fuckery~~ The Voice, abandoning an European Tour that was JUST to touch Italy (twice, actually, as also in the rescheduled date last November his sudden “voice trouble” strangely was perfectly timed with The Voice taping… *ewwwwww* -__-).

Are you shocked?

I know that by now you are wondering IF.

IF I have heard it (you know if you follow my twitter I have…).

IF I own it (Sure… I do and I will again have multiple versions out by hard copies and iTunes versions, as well: I kept buyin ALL of their stuff and also collectors hard copies even when I have been at the peak of my complete dislike of Adam, due to that choice he made about his career that I STILL dislike; I did because his voice for me STILL BE A MIRACLE, and it will always have that influence of miracle-related epiphany to me).

IF I like it.

And I am of course talking about Overexposed, the new ~~Adam Levine’s solo album~~ Maroon 5 record.

Well, you all know how displeased I was with Moves Like Jagger; how much I hated (and STILL hate the concept of) the fact they let other people step into writing along them, outside of the band; you know I was more than against the full on turning pop, which I felt and still feel as a poisoning derived output from ~~The Fuckery~~ ~~that awful karaoke tv show~~ The Voice.

All this all still values, all these are concepts I still have in me… but then I heard the record and it was beyond me… I LIKED it.

Maroon 5 on EW May 2012 on Overexposed and more

Straight up to, too.

I actually properly LOVE it in most part, because it’s SO INCREDIBLY HONEST AND TRUE.

There are flawless songs in there… most notably, there are a few gems which are TRUE Maroon 5 because they are truly out straight from Adam’s soul.

Firs evidence: Sad; second one: The Man Who Never Lied, then Beautiful Goodbye, and Love Somebody (oh, boy… Adam Levine’s Love Inclination in a nutshell!!).

Those songs… those songs have such a power on me because (as the whole album is actually, but those especially) they are real; and when pop meets real… I’m fine with it, you know it.

I am actually so surprised this album clicked so majorly with me.

What was scary to me was the fact I feared Maroon 5 and Adam’s truthfulness about their music would have been compromised by merging with Blanco, Tedder, Max Martin & Co: but you listen to the record and if you know what (WHO) that is written about, and what they lived… then you can place each song in a real human landscape and that makes that glistening, bubbly, simple pop sounds something other and more.

Yes, Overexposed traces all that has been lived between Adam Levine and Anne V, even if not all the songs are about her (only Jane Herman could have had an entire record dedicated to herself and obviously, being still the only one Adam TRULY loved with all of his teenage, unprepared and pure heart).

It’s so obvious and clear that the most special songs are about Adam’s ex girlfriend though that only a retarded would deny it.

Adam is out of the haze of that failed relationship, and this article in the Sun helps understands how well (he’s happily coupled again, we all know, with adorable and super rock Behati Prinsloo and what I love the most is how quiet and out of paparazzi calling Behati is being since she started being his official girlfriend, one month and a half ago):

Maroon 5 and Adam Levine interview in The Sun UK 28 June 2012 on Overexposed and the perception of Maroon 5, Adam and his breakup with Anne, and how he’s happily moved on with his life, love and music from heartbreak once again

Anyway after listening to the songs in Overexposed, maybe also pushed by the super involved reactions of my – female – friends, I can’t help but feel sorry for how Adam and Anne went unlucky with their feelings for one another.

It’s painful that beautiful-ness had to end because it couldn’t go on, given the two different meanings Adam and Anne had inside themselves regarding what a Love Relationship gotta be.

For Adam, it’s clear, Love doesn’t involve a ring need; Love is something huge and immense, but not something you can promise forever before the time of forever arrives (I am near to that concept, even though I am married, so I get him and I can see where all that comes from).

For Anne, and that broke them (but you can’t blame her if that is what she believes in), Love is a Marriage bound thing that HAS to produce a stable and declared commitment (her family never divorced so her image of marriage is way different than what Adam’s had to endure).

Adam About the truth in Overexposed Lyrics from EW

Listening to the album I actually felt regret for having thought they broke up viciously and for having believed she cut off with him maliciously (he probably knew about the statement she would have given to People, though I still believe Anne’s camp tried to milk out all the press she could have gotten in a not fair and opportunistic way after the break-up, and still for many weeks after that); they sure had massive fights and that never really was confessed for how bad it went to the world (well until now with the record at least), but sure they both had to suffer when realizing they couldn’t do anything else than break up, because neither of them could change what they really wanted out from their relationship to move forward to.

When I listen in row to Sad and Beautiful Goodbye (that might have been written when they last spent a good night together, and Adam knew already it would have been their last, even if the thing in a way progressed after for a while?) through the random feature of Overexposed in the iPod… I can’t take it.

I start always to sob a little.

That’s the AWESOME POWER OF TRUE MUSIC ART and since Maroon 5 and Adam there proved me they still HAVE IT, I can’t avoid to declare myself once again a fan.

It wasn’t easy to buy me back… and I would have NEVER believed they would have with THIS kind of album but in the end… it happened, and it’s quite a shock for me, first and foremost.

It’s so heavy to know that; it gives multiple degrees of despair to paint Overexposed with; and it makes the record so much more than bubble gum listening super pop (which it still be at a superficial listening).

The crew have come with their usual debates about the record; but none of us reached the perfection of Angel Meli conclusions so I will post HER reviews, and various insights she gave about for instance the video of One More Night (which I find amazing)… because nobody could do better.

We all know we contributed with our numerous debates to Meli’s craft in perfect review territory (and it’s since last Friday we are debating Overexposed from town to town, and with lots of passion) and I always tingle and get stupidely proud whenever she refers to me and thanks me (among others) because you who know me personally are well aware that I simply ADORE, admire and I feel the greatest of gratefulness to that special woman and feel like a scholar basking in her glory anytime she speaks to me (and this happens… just with her, because otherwise I am Dominatrix of the World, thank you ;)).

So here it is the review of Meli, taken from her posts at ATRL (where she Queens around, because how cannot you feel her power whenever she goes and manifest her angel spirit of perfection and goodness ;)):

Angel Meli review about Maroon 5 Overexposed on ATRL Forum

All that said about the record, and how it makes my heart break anytime I reference any song to the real life that it mirrors (Adam said in interviews this week all of Overexposed’s inspiration is actually “LIFE”, and we never had doubts there after hearing it), I am even happier than Adam and Behati Prinsloo are together still (she just went with him two weekends ago in Disneyland, she has been with him in New York all these days for Overexposed promotion – and there’s a bit of a video you will see also here and not only in the NAWWAL pages -because that cuteness had to be shared – and in Miami with him and the band for the iHeart Radio Pool Party at the Fountainbleau, and they are just now coming back together in New York because Adam is due there to keep on filming his movie with Keira Knightley and what I like is that she isn’t publicizing it AT ALL, thing that Adam surely loves and most of all, thing that Adam NEEDS after the previous relationship had to face the press and media pressure, brought in by Anne’s camp which was craving for it to raise her profile, and so any time they were out there were paparazzi snapping pictures to be ending in hideous blogs such as Just Jared, which Anne loved to “keep informed” much to Adam’s dislike).

Behati Prinsloo glares at Adam Levine and Maroon 5 performing live at the today Concert Series on June 29 2012

Behati SAVED Adam from despair: she came to him like a saving grace, with her joyous, sparkling, lively attitude – who doesn’t know about her awesome personality, should inform themselves: you would be surprised how she is actually VERY similar to Adam’s personality in many ways – and I am SO happy about this, so happy in illogical ways, but I still be.

The more you understand about Overexposed, the more this sparkles clear: Adam would have drowned in despair over the way his love got wasted and misused, if Behati wouldn’t have suddenly and soon come with her smile to cheer him up.

Whoever has affection for Adam shall be grateful to Behati: she indeed is responsible to having brought Adam back to a happy life track and no matter how long they stay together, or how just of a fling this might be, truth is without her Adam would have risked his mood and sanity way too riskily, out of the forced way Anne went off of his life (albeit with his consensus, given that he knew without that ring, the story would have ended… and he didn’t offer that ring willingly, that has never to be forgotten).

I bless Behati: and I am sure she will star in Daylight video if as I hope and believe she and Adam will still be together by September (when I imagine it will be filmed).

Adam may seem a jerk at times and all but he needs love like nobody else; Anne couldn’t be the one or he would have kept her, but her fading away certainly broke his heart (and I am sure it broke Anne’s too, if all her tweets for months were about how love shouldn’t be broken by distance, and people shall not give up in difficult times, most like she was addressing Adam instead decided those were the reasons that had to break them apart).

The way in many songs Adam was keeping saying he couldn’t maybe profess those words “be with me forever, marry me” but at the same time the way he kept asking for her to stay at by his side (and Anne never did: she never sacrificed her time and career for him… that is the “distance” that broke them apart in Adam’s book, though he has stated clearly that Anne did what she felt was right for her and he doesn’t blame her for it at all; and Anne can keep tweeting that Love isn’t measured by distance but truth is if you are not enough with the person you claim to be in love with, then you are NOT in love, or you would feel the need to spend all of your time together, or at least way more than she spent with him anyway) tells that he came out VERY hurt by the end of their relationship.

But that is past… look this pieces for the other day (29th June) Today Show and at the start, look whom Adam addresses at after Mickey says “Cape Town” shall be next fav place to play (Behati was born inn Namibia, but lived her childhood in Cape Town ;))

He said it on Howard Stern too that the end of the relationship was painful (and way longer due than just by April the 2nd)… where he trashed the magazine reports (fed by Ali Kavoussi, so it’s an indirect dig at Anne’s camp maybe?) that there was drama in the break-up, and also pointed out as I have that Anne and Behati aren’t friends at all (“maybe acquaintances” he said, just as I did…) again indirectly trashing what tabloids published out of Kavoussi’s feeding of the press… I will post the latest Stern interview in Radio form below, and you will listen how Adam gracefully and gentleman-ly put an end to everything Anne and him ever were, with no blame, with respect and clearly with the memory of a very important part of his life that still is now PAST and FINISHED, as he’s now involved with someone else whom he wants to protect from intrusive witnessing… .

Adam’s heart has been cracked enough about this beautiful story of affection gone wrong… I’d love if past would remain past and never get mentioned again, especially when there’s nothing more that is real to talk about, and I am so glad Behati’s attitude towards gossip press is as strict and reserved as Adam’s: she won’t use him the way he was anyway a bit used in his previous love fest.

Now he’s mending that wounded heart, it’s doing it through and thanks to Behati and we should be happy for him, because he just hates to be alone (hasn’t he said that so many times, too? Whoever claims to love him has to realize for properly doing it you have to spend time with him, because he needs the physical contact, even if that may just be a lovingly intertwining of hands, which is the cutest way to show someone you truly love them…).

That fling-possible-outcoming-relationship maybe will produce new music as well, and who knows, maybe next time it won’t be a super pop record production, but it could be something VERY Soul-oriented too (or rockish… after all Behati is all about rock, she quotes amazing songs and she’s a perfect rocker’s girlfriend… maybe in the foreseeable future she could even sing choruses along him? we’ll see ;))

Take by now some commentaries about the record by the band…

From SPOTIFY (each track has an insight):

From Saturday Night Online:

And finally, take the Audio from Maroon 5 Radio Take Over on June 28 2012, firstly AUDIO part:

And then the video extras:

I have tons more of material (as I always had even when I was just posting it up for Margherita and Serena’s blog) but I will put it up in the Storage Page later on along these. It’s not like I will start to have this blog like I used to all of a sudden again 😉 I am not really as in charge anymore and I prefer to sex up my hubby … the Storage Page will keep serve for the rest 😉

All I know is that I like Overexposed, I truly do, and I am happy if Adam’s life isn’t anymore a sad mess, but it’s turning back to a smiling one.

Summer is up for sunny days and sunny love… it’s the way it should be and I feel it will be just so 🙂

Have all a great time of Summer…

Enjoy 😉

Missus Z. 🙂

Of course, I had to come online and post a blog TODAY.

We woke up around 7 am as usual, and we found our phones pulsating in colors like a disco ball hit by a flashy rainbow (we have different set ups for our iPhones and BBs, and the light that comes is determined by the people sending us texts/video-messages/mails).

We feared at first something bad had happened (we set phones with no sound at night) but then we thought if that was the case, somebody would have called at our HOUSE and that sound would have been heard.

So it had to be a good news, we realized with relief.

We opened our four devices and more or less it was an endless series of missed calls and texts reading:

THEY KILLED OSAMA!!!!

THEY GOT HIM AND SERVED HIM!!!

WHOOOOOOO-HOOOO!!!

We immediately phoned Karim’s parents.

You know… well, his family PROPERLY fought that man these years.

From the HQs.

It has been immediately intense for my baby.

He lost friends in the Twin Towers (remember that night last year when I had to console him mutely just due to a documentary we were seeing at night prior to NBA games? You must… I will certainly NEVER forget that night) and after that, also a couple during the subsequently declared wars (I can’t call wars “peace operations”, sorry… a war is a war and no fancy names can change its status).

People celebrating outside White House the news that US force killed Osama Bin Laden

We have an extremely complex and not easy view of all this that arose after 9/11, and the most amazing thing is that we realized we had even way before we actually met (and that is an issue that can cause way more than a simple tension in a relationship… let alone for people as complicated as K&I).

We know it was inevitable to war it up after that… but we still convinced war is never the answer to anything, unless for you “answer” means “way to be all dead soon”.

No matter who *wins*, war has never winning people on its count: only dead ones.

But yeah, the death of Osama Bin Laden is a great relief.

Even though we are completely aware JUST because of it, the world will immediately see his heirs trying to establish their status by attempting I fear MORE than one major move.

So yeah… I just expect terrorism to escalate pretty soon.

Still… this had to be done.

Hitler had to be dead.

Osama had to be dead.

I hope soon Berlusconi follows – a natural, and not imposed – way to be dead too (there, I said it. Italy needs to be freed from him, but not violently. He’s old and I still hope a natural death occurs as soon as possible.)

It’s a very HUGE turmoil of feelings for me and Karim (especially him, who even served during the war of terrorism) today.

Somehow, I feel like this was a further gift to mankind from Pope John Paul the Second who just got beatified (technically, the same day Osama got killed).

Although I am always battling some of the most narrow-minded concepts of Church, I have to say I have always admired and felt Karol Wojtyla, and that he always got me with his speech against war, when war seemed the most fashionable thing around.

Trust me: you know how cynical I can be: I am not a pacifist for the sake of it.

I’m no flower power at all.

My choice about it comes from philosophy and reasoning: in times when armies can erase the entire humanity, to try for peace is the ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE.

I know war is the most productive industry EVER, since EVER… but if we don’t stick in our minds we can’t ever win if we don’t ALL win, and look out for a way to comprehend one another and not fight one another, we will only get one step closer each day to the complete demise of EVERYONE.

There is no party there… no party who can just win.

Ideograms for PEACE and PROSPERITY

My choice for peace and understanding is a strategical one, not a naive one.

But all that said…

let’s honor the victims who fought in clarity and purity of soul, let’s pray for innocents that got killed on EACH side, because they weren’t taking sides at all in their innocence, and just let’s COOPERATE FOR PEACE.

Actively.

Terrorism isn’t dead, because to scare people is the easiest way to dominate them.

Easiest until mankind won’t step out of fears and embrace brain and heart to the fullest.

Fear works for half-developed humans.

Fully developed humans don’t fear: they try to THINK to overcome fears, and they understand fear cannot rule a good way to live.

Aggressive is not fearless: aggressive is a companion to fearful.

But sure I am happy this whole thing happened in Obama’s presidency run.

Man deserved this hard-to-obtain success (ehi, Donald Trump… please jump off your skyscraper before trying to say again the stupidest things on this event too… IDIOT).

I chose this song to underline my mood, in honor of all those fallen for mankind’s lowest instincts:

And now back to more down-to-Earth and personal events.

Getting near…

GETTING NEAR!!!

My Boat's times in Genova, April 2011

Absolutely unfazed by the fact a balding guy married a smiling chick (yeah, the MARRIAGE OF THE CENTURY… don’t think it brought much luck to his mother’s one the fact all of the world stared in awe watching the whole thing, right?), this further month passes away bringing MYSELF closer to *the day*.

Lotta stuff to be prepared…

Lotta emotions, all cute and fine and lovely, and to be honest we’re not a single bit relentless about this.

K&I are very focused and calm.

They’ve tried to make us question the Kyoto (yep, that’s it… we picked up Kyoto in the end) location due to the Earthqwake – Nuclear scare but it’s OUR marriage.

We want to get married in Japan and there we will.

You love us?

You’ll be moved there by our will to have you near to us that day.

If you don’t feel like sharing our day, be prepared to consequences (okay it sounds at once ungrateful and cocky but trust me when we made this speech to our people it sounded very compassionate and good-to-listen-to… ;)).

Love to eat facing Milan Duomo in Spring

I don’t think really we will have troubles with Parades for NBA to be taken into spotlight before our big month… in fact, we don’t reach out to USA until July (screw Ravinia Festival and anything even remotedly related to, and BRING IT ON GLASTONBURY instead!!!!).

Lakers have been painful to watch to during playoffs and although I really hope as a fan things may change I don’t see odds favourable to us at all.

But I know we gotta take on the Mavs in second round of the playoffs because I can’t stand Mark Cuban AT ALL.

I respect the Mavs… I don’t respect their owner (because he’s a DICK).

Too bad I can’t criticize Lakers will as I am also half performing this year as a fan (not for my responsibility though).

In fact doctors still ban me from not getting enough night sleep after my Labyrinthitis crisis, so I can wake up in the middle of nights ONLY to catch the second halves of games.

It sucks.

It makes me feel half a fan…*sigh*.

But you can’t play with health can you?

Kobe also disappointed me with a gay slur that luckily he managed to *explain* (not really—) or at least decently ask forgiveness for in a video and some partnering made-up moves.

Lakers Orchids in our balcony terrace

Still KOBE… WTF?

Then of course Kobe still Kobe and Still my hero for the way he play and he’s not human like the rest of us…

That man is such an inspiration of strength and will, darn 😉

At least Milan is doing well 😉

Too bad my two sporty passion can never go hand in hand as for results lately but ehi, at least I have always something positive going on, haven’t I?

I’m very up to my sport game too and you know sunny times for me means mostly tennis court battles!!!

I still love the way I focuse into tennis gestures and I compare them with good sex.

My fantasy runs miles you know when it’s about sex but really some things that are not sex reminds me a lot of it…

Then the output of sporty games easily always translate ANYWAY into something sexual FOR REAL in my world (you know me, don’t you?) 😉

April has been gracious to me a lot: we have spent some of our weekends finally getting acquainted with my Boat again!!! (love love love it), and then on the Easter time we went to my Florence house, but Karim’s parents and mine also reached to the amazing town (on their own though… we need our spaces free, ourselves… and then we stay naked at home way too much to have our parents rounding nearby… LMAO!).

The boat times and the Florence times BOTH have seen our crew to join us for some clubbing too.

I am amazed the way the bonds we share with my friends and Karim’s friends are completely natural and easy to go.

It’s beautiful to be surrounded by so much care and love.

And then… we just rule the world, don’t we? 😉

In Genova we got a promo copy at the club of AMAZING latest Foo Fighter’s record… that you gotta BUY ASAP:

There is a lot of music going on in my ears (and NO, until that awful thing that involves Adam still going on, I still completely untouched and not listening to any of Maroon5. I can’t take it. The Voice for me – and sure friends have tried to force me watch it – is a shame that can’t be approved, and it never will), and what is amazing is that now on Twitter I have MORE than 2050 followers (WOW!!!! I have added some due following myself to and now I follow 43… you get how AMAZING the difference is???) so I can spread my music appreciation posts so widely all over and wait for some advice from people too!!!

I love the way music is universally speaking 🙂

Music will always be my best friend… ALWAYS.

My consideration for its power is the same that I give to art in general because music IS art.

And Art as Beauty rules my entire world.

Anyway don’t worry… My friends over the other blog will give you updates also on The Voice ~~of Fuckery~~ soon (I landed them links so you will see that thing that I protected my eyes and soul from seeing. I don’t wanna be corrupted by second rated tv… or by tv at all. I try to take the best care of my brain cells, thank you) ;).

I will get back to my appreciation of M5 and Adam as soon as that thing will end.

I miss their music?

SURE, how couldn’t I?

This is just a PART of my Maroon 5 record Collection

Look, these are the 45 albums/specials/VideoPackages I got of them and ONLY in my iTunes: there are more than an entire day of ALBUM/EP/VIDEOEPs music and that doesn’t count the amount of physical recordings (ALL THEY EVER PUT OUT from Kara’s Flowers till now, and ALL their collaborations EVER made) that I have of them, which were these (see the video I made for The Way You Look Tonight below and you get HOW MUCH I am a fan of them) ONE and half year ago (they have grown since then with all that they have put out after that).

I even have special Asian versions of all their music. Do you really think it’s easy for me to NOT listen to my favorite band?

It is.

But I can’t cope with the disappointment they served me with and then I have over 1000 albums now. I can survive some months without their ones, and don’t feel bad for it, since they didn’t care about choosing a tv reality show over playing live for the fans who built them up.

Their choice.

My choice.

And we’re all entitled to feel fine about them, both me and them, of course.

They think music is only entertainment and shouldn’t be a big deal; while for me music is first and foremost great Art and SURE it MUST be taken seriously, thing that I do.

I might update at least on Anne though 😉 Because she is adorable

I am just sad that in the maintime I am NOT covering M5 and Adam, I miss the chance to speak about lovely Anne V…. I miss talking about lovely Russian Fairy, but it’d be hard to talk about her and NOT about her boyfriend (they still best couple EVER in the celeb world to me, and I keep being a total sucker and rooting for them to procreate perfect babies together, for the sake of mankind’s next generations’ BEAUTY) so I am forced to. Maybe though I can prepare a couple of musical videos with her latest working duties… I may soon… She still one of the cutest things ever and so sweet and kind. She’s an all-overly delicious human being, whose beauty is just ONE of her best qualities. ;).

But see… my principle about being true to what I deeply feel and see can’t be changed.

I don’t kiss asses, and I am proud of the way I am.

That’s why until Summer starts sneak in fully I won’t mention “that thing”, “that man”, and “all around involved”.

With this I hope I have answered to the mails I got asking me why I wasn’t covering The Voice, Adam Levine and Maroon 5 anymore since a while.

Yesterday Party Time

I can’t deviate from the value I give to music, as simple as that.

And I HATE reality tv and the way reality tv has transformed music scene into a sham.

It’s clear why I won’t cover M5 or Adam while they keep perpetrating what to my eyes and perception is a real big big big mistake.

I will get back to them when this won’t be an issue for me to deal with anymore.

Be calm.

And respect my choice at least since THIS is my house (I.E.: stop flaming this blog mail or my twitter: I anyway couldn’t care less of what you have to say to me, when it comes to things that belong ONLY to me) and this blog was created to “speak about what I find valuable and great, as I live my life“.

Next?

Next topic. Sure… this has taken way too much space today 😉

Just this past night, after practically Milan has won Serie A again (about timeeeee!!!) we had a great great party over Karim’s loft (it seems all so far away after today’s news…) 😉 and we actually met really nice new people thankx to our friends.

We missed our friends this weekend cos we went alone at my Garda Lake House to just… erm… well, doing our business in peace.

We love our crew, we really do… but sometimes we need to stay alone and just stay naked all time.

😉 You know us (and me especially) 😉

My dad last Thursday at Rotary dinner (EXTENDED BOREDOME) was joking with me and K. about our “creative sexual ways” (I am this open and natural about sex thanx to the fact I have parents who never pushed me at considering sex anything more or less than the totally most natural and awesome thing on Earth… and yeah my parents still bangin one another clearly and this is the greatest thing a daughter/son could understand. Sorry Freud…) 😉 and at some point some old fart came over and gave a sight of reproaching (mind your business, I am sure your “oh-so-holy” ass has betrayed your *lovingly* wife behind her back…), without saying a word.

My father said to Karim:

“Never try to become THAT way with my daughter or she’s gonna kick your ass.”.

I love my dad endlessly.

And so does his future son-in-law ;).

Karim in fact had a very gentle but cuttingly fierce way to answer (with a gracious humor) that as I love to ride horses, this time I might have found one ride where the horse ain’t that easy to be driven away from the road HE decides (which is true, and also the reason I am actually gonna marry him… me the person who had over 250 partners and never seemed interested to settle down AT ALL ;)).

My dad nodded in approval.

Colour the world for PEACE and let it blossom

I know I am way too lucky to have such awesome people around me.

I know.

And I appreciate it particularly today, which is anyway a day of deep reflection and thoughtfulness.

So folks… I guess I am done already because I am very tired of writing AND it’s almost time to go off the lab having lunch.

As soon as the phones stop ringing… (whole world is in need to talk these hours… it’s understandable).

Wish you all a great time and a shining May.

We are ready to travel a lot soon again, after all.

And traveling also emphasizes the fact the whole world is interconnected and that we need understanding to not make it blow.

It’s OUR responsibility to make the world a better place FOR EVERYONE.

Because it’s the only way we can keep on living, let’s face it 😉

Let’s end with the obvious musical choice for today:

PEACE.

Good day, wonderful world!

What can I say…

I am happy?

I am incredibly fortunate to live the life I do?

I can’t believe that at 26 (yes, I am 26 since almost a week…) I have got so many wonderful experiences that I have been gifted already to live, and it seems that’s a fountain that won’t end spilling over anytime soon?

Oh, man…

What a wonderous trip we had for my birthday week.

Before words will be found (somehow… but I know I won’t be able to paint not even a fraction of what I felt and still feel about that all), please take this amazing song, as guideline of amazement (lyrics are somehow imprecise but I loved the pics):

Karim and I listened to the song frequently during our stay… he sang it to me at least in four different versions (most amazing one the night of my birthday arising, in the Namibian Desert, in a tenth, with locals drumming along… it was pure magic!), because he says it’s really fitting the way he sees me.

And that he always felt that; and that he always had the will of taking me “down to Africa”, also to sing me that song under the right sky and with the convenient atmosphere.

Now tell me if I am not the luckiest person that ever lived ;)…

Of course the Namibian trip, for how perfect it has been, couldn’t move completely our minds and hearts off from Japan: it keeps wounding us the way this amazing Country so near to our souls keeps facing adversities; just the day of my birthday, and just to remind us we couldn’t be there as we wanted in that day, another qwake shaked that beautiful, unique land…

Will it end?

next year we will be there for Hanami: it's a promise, adored Japan

Those people are so noble and proud and dignified: they don’t run away, they don’t beg help… they stay there to help their own roots and Country rise back with the most impressive love, dedication and loyalty.

So much for me to look forward to, especially when my own Country (Italy) is digging lower and lower into shame (I will carefully avoid to mention Berlusca here because this is a post about purity, love and perfection and he’s all that is OPPOSITE to that, the criminal midget…).

So while we were in Japan, feeling the love totaly upon us and inside ourselves, at a level that almost crashed us in complete bliss, the thoughts of Japan and about Japan were still with us.

I thank all my friends and family, that donated almost 35.000 euros to Japan relief instead than gifting me material things (that I have in abundance); I was stunned when in Africa a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers arrived from Karim’s parents (awww) and along that a check receit of 20.000 dollars that they devolved in my name to the Japan Red Cross.

Now THAT is my way to celebrate birthday.

Thank you everyone… you are all wonderful and it humbles me and makes me feel so happy and secure that you are ALL part of my life.

I love you all.

In Africa we met the real sense of what humanity should stand for.

Namibia is an incredible Country… vast and different… you cannot avoid to love it, nor to notice and appreciate the extreme dignity they have, no matter how poor they are, and how they respect their territory and are very open to others, even though “others” for centuries exploited and bad treated them.

In Namibia there are for real the roots of civilization: some of the most ancient traces of human evolution are there, and there there is the oldest tree in the world; Namibia is also as all of you must know a place of wildlife and a paradise for feline lovers (and I totally am a devoted “big cats” admirer, you know that).

We went to Etosha, to Okonjima, we saw the dried Okawango starting to receive a little bit of water (season of sudden rain just started when we went in, even though we had the best weather actually and just caught a small shore for half a day in ), and while flying on a small private plane (we had used that all week long, to shorten the moves from internal zones to the coasts) we also saw the strange circles that cover the NamibRand Reserve.

I know I have been with jaw falling for marveling myself constantly ALL the week long.

ALL the week long.

We have enjoyed some special places, some incredible resorts (Kulala… oh wow…), but one of the things I REALLY love and admire in Karim is that he never really wants to be the classic super rich kid trying to fake taste exotic places.

So in fact the most amazing experience of our holiday was our day long volunteering for charity, the first full day in.

We dearly love children, and we know how privileged we are… so we have started to collaborate with the Children In Need Foundation and it’s not gonna be just a fancy “once in a while” pop-up.

We are gonna be serious about this.

Our families are gonna be involved too and we hope also our friends will.

Namibia, like most of Africa, has an incredible high rate of HIV positivity and that affects mostly children.

It’s not rethoric…it’s a true fact and the so-called “civilised” (don’t think so) world gotta stop having their heads stick in their asses and turn head around to catch the cries for help that the majority of the rest of the world constantly outs, unheard.

There won’t be ever peace nor collaboration until inequalities as intolerable as these won’t be erased.

In Namibia… the biggest luxury is WATER.

WATER, right?

That water we waste constantly without even thinking… there it’s something that values infinitely more than gold and diamonds (and Namibia HAS diamonds).

We’ve been profoundely changed by our trip.

Karim has already visited a great part of Africa along with his parents and uncle, and it won’t be surprising to know for those of you who know him that he could speak a bit (grrrrrrr) of the local dialects (he speaks fluent German, but the local language has NOTHING to do with it).

There’s something about him that charms everybody… our guide gifted him with a very precious bone completely sculpted as soon as he revealed to him he was into sculpting.

Then he said he would wait for us again to come over, but not at the resort: at his village and into his house, as “cloudly brothers” (it’s a way Namibian people have to call guests that they feel are coming for God’s Grace and Will).

Man, if I think of the sound of his voice when he said it and the way he was looking at us… I feel again the tears filling my eyes.

So powerful.

Indeed.

Only downside of our far away trip is the fact in the maintime Lakers managed to put 5 LOSSES IN A ROW.

Damn… 😦

I feel it’s very unlikely to have a wonderful further Parade before our marriage… but hey, a supporter gotta support and hope always.

ALWAYS.

In all this bliss, music as usual plays a wide part in my life… I have TOTALLY to mention that before flying over to Namibia, Karim surprised me bringing the two of us at Adele’s concert…

WOW.

Girl’s unbelievable and it’s gonna be hard to top this life experience in 2011 (and I have many Coldplay gigs booked, as well as Radiohead as soon as they are again on the road… but trust me Adele OWNS).

This weekend we will probably go to Liguria and … SAIL!!!!

Weather in Italy is purely amazing and completely Summeri-ish so it’s about time we renew the frequency with my boat (I still shake when I realize that the boat is MINE…).

Let’s cross fingers it won’t change cos I’d like to maintain my supremely uniform and healthy tan 😉

And then… well… you know Karim and I love to sexually tease our boat crew.

We can be so damn naughty and bad… (and when I did celebrate my birthday in Italy at Garda Lake with my posse, trust me we’ve been REALLY cruel and teasing… LMAO. My final “score” at the “Tease the most beautiful and leave them crazy with nothing at all” game reached a grand total of 12 poor hunks left dying over the floor. Karim was all pleased. He likes when his supremacy gets conformed through someone else’s pain… it’s his dark side, and I love that he has one. Perfectly “good” people are boring and unreal, ya’ll ;)).

Oh… for next clubbing routine we will work over S&M of Rihanna.

Girl has got my mind in copycat.

I was exactly like her at her age.

Well, maybe even younger, way younger than her age… but I so understand and I like her dance-y tracks with heavy sexual references (I don’t like her voice, but there she gets heavily filtered so it works, both for the dance floor and for the upbringing mood).

Also because it’s clear that she KNOWS what she talks about there and doesn’t give a flying “F” about puritans getting shocked (puritans have the most boring and fake life, and will never get how amazing a great sexual life is ;)).

So take S&M and learn the routines… (the new version with Britney Spears is awful… Britney never was sexy, and especially is not now that she moves zero and still be chunky and short):

That’s all for now folks 😉

Catch you in a while…

Be wild and happy and true to yourselves, and GO KICK ASS 😉

The day Adam Levine decided to sell out to “The Voice”

New York: this very morning. LOVE.

Okay.

I’m at JFK.

Ready to take off from New York to Paris.

It should have been such a wonderful time, full of lovely expectations and also some sprinkle of Fashion because although I have to be in France also for working duties (and so is Karim), tomorrow time of ours was mainly going to be a fabulous time at Casino De Paris, watching Maroon5 live in the first of three incoming European dates.

Except that that particular first chance has become THE ONLY CHANCE we will get (really, to get the first admission from TG Com was awful, too) for way a while time (there is the whole situation of the April Golf Event… but I think that’s on hold as well honestly).

No more cute fanmails from European fans that could interest them?

And I am not even sure I want to keep still watching the gig in Paris at all, frankly.

It would feel just too much of a farewell to my former love and admire of a band and a man.

What did happen?

There you go: The Shame. I mean... "The Voice". UGH.

By now many should know: Adam Levine is along Cee-Lo Green the first of a 4 panel judges to be part of the new Reality Singing Contest “The Voice”, namely the NBC answer to a question nobody decently smart enough cared for anyway, namely American Idol (and a fill in for that position before XFactor USA will reach the airwaves in the Fall).

So Adam decided to give up to his amazing talent, he decided to sell his bandmates to the shrine of self-indulgence, he kissed his world-fans a stinky goodbye, and WITHOUT EVEN TRY TO EXPLAIN OR APOLOGIZE (that makes me disappointed the most, because it truly shows how much he doesn’t care and he’s self-absorbed) he SIGNED TO BE A FRIGGING TV “PERSONALITY” on the NBC attempt to make even more losers get a record deal out of a saturated, completely idiotic market segment (read “reality show singing competition”).

I really lost all my respect about him in the very moment this news surfaced.

Somehow I am trying to dig deep inside me (and I don’t know why… because he does not deserve such a care now) if this refusal of Adam I strongly feel at the moment comes out of the momentum and it’s gonna get a patch over in a while, or if REALLY I do have to get accustomed to the way I am properly feeling I am disgusted by him, like I’m reckoning now.

If you have ever read me over Internet, you know how BIG this has to be for little Miss Z.

I have spent years adoring Adam, pros and cons, just because I have always found him – way before hot – a wonderfully talented and gifted and TRUE human being.

And now all is trashed by the worst choice he’s ever made, that screams in high volume “I am ~~a hopeless fame chaser~~ a person who cannot cope with lower than expected latest album results“.

Because to me this whole new event is linked to that… and it’s such a lame reason for such a full of bad consequences move.

I am appalled the way his bandmates are allowing him to ridicule them all… They really love him, but this to me more than a love proof is an enabling blind mistake that will cause a damage not quantifiable.

This is something the band won’t ever recover from because you don’t put a tv show in front of PLAYING LIVE… nobody serious about love for music will ever look up to them ever again!!!

This of course must mean something… it must give you reasons to ponder over, whether or if you feel like a real musician.

Which I fear Adam has stopped to.

Is it a temporary loss of senses?

Will it be forever?

The answer to this, the timing of this fuckery oblivion… it’s the thin line that may keep me care somehow about them or him.

Even though at this very moment the disappointment is so vast and wide it just eats everything around, and it doesn’t seem like my heart has space inside to still care about them at all.

It’s so bad and so sad for someone like me who has grown a total feeling of empathy with them, and with him, for almost 8 full years.

What did happen to the man who used to say reality shows sucked?

What did happen to the man saying proudly his band meant the world to him?

What did happen to the man pointing out he wasn’t a singer “like America Idol’s times”, because the way he used to do his job was rooting in way deeper inspirations?

Oh, Adam…

What an incredible, huge, incomparable disappointment you are.

I still worship your voice, but since this news surfaced, I’m not able anymore to like you as human being and I feel really like I’ve lost a friend there.

I hate this feeling I get anytime I think about you… I hate to hate you.

But right now… I truly despise you, I can’t help.

You’ve trashed my respect in such a mean, obnoxious way… it hurts inside… physically.

It’s awful, and maybe surely is an idiot way to feel… but you’re part of my “good inspiring people lot”… or should I say you WERE.

Oh, how it hurts.

I don’t recognize you anymore, and worst of it all, your words now sound all fake to me – and people know I can’t stand fakerism in any way, from anybody.

It’s this distrust that is forcing me to feel detached and negative about you.

I can’t like people whom I don’t admire or at least respect.

I can’t: to me the human factor is the main thing and right now to me you’re acting like a plain blind FOOL.

Sure, I can see what you did: you took a chance to make yourself popular again; it’s a free and respectable choice, IF BY DOING THAT YOU WOULDN’T HAVE DISRESPECTED AT ONCE YOUR FANS AND BANDMATES.

And worst of it all, if by doing that you wouldn’t have given up on MUSIC first.

It’s THIS… it’s your music betrayal that is making me bleed.

I rate music as the highest high form… Darn, in my previous post, in that Jewish Chronicle Interview you’ve given out a MONTH ago… YOU were the one speaking about music importance and greatness in your life and now WHAT?

You sell yourself to the lamest tv sham?

Really, Adam?

Really?

The credibility your quick announcement and cancellation made run away from your band and YOU especially won’t come back: you’re delusional if you think that could be restored or repaired.

We got your focus is in the USA only, by now it’s a certainty, but trust me that’s a choice you’re gonna regret pretty soon. Also your credibility in USA is gonna be trashed, because you’re now ONLY a tv puppet, and not a serious musician anymore, and all those with some decent salt in their minds will see it too much clearly to bypass the awkward feeling and give you a second chance at being anything more than “somebody like anybody else”.

You’ve sold out and it has nothing to do with music, but with the giving up of your musical essence in front of a cheap kind of popularity that won’t last (if it will ever come at all).

What a shame, for someone so incredibly talented who used to be so wit, passionate, smart and genuine.

I don’t see it anymore in you… certainly I couldn’t in this heat of the moment after you admitted the NBC signing on: this is so coldly calculated and so much of a loser move to me, I can’t even forgive myself for feeling bad FOR you, while I should just feel bad ABOUT you for the way you’ve flushed in the toilet anything that was once so distinctive and lovely about Maroon 5 and yourself.

The passion for music you had and represented is gone for what it matters, to my eyes at least, and I don’t give a fuck about seeing your sham on tv (because NBC is seable in Italy too); I don’t give a fuck about seeing you patronize young losers who are gonna make the music market even more pre-fabricated…

What are you gonna teach them, the way to betray loyal fans?

Because that is what you did when The Voice idiocity became more important than prove YOURSELF ON A FUCKING STAGE, no matter if whenever you go on that stage is clear you can rock the fuck out of it, because you have the talent to be simply awesome…

If you were bored with touring life, your band, and whatever was that made you disillusioned about the last year, you should just have had to be DAMN HONEST about it… I know a lot of your fans are so retarded they can’t even process a basic thought, but – this may surprise you – there were also types of fans like me who REALLY did care about your music and who have a really smartly functioning brain and developed music taste, and who are never gonna forgive you for what you did because your move just represents anything that’s OPPOSITE to smartness and vision and true music love.

I would have kept respect and love for you untouched if you had just been honest about the whole downwarding spiral out from HAO under-perfomance (I still think the album is great, just not promoted by all the worst kind of singles, and your laziness in going out of USA…), and you did admit and reveal you just wanted to try something out, in a clear and crystal way and confession.

Instead (oh, the shame!!!) you are not speaking a word about this damn choice at all, filling twitter with fake notes about loving the things you’re doing now (it can’t be true and you know it), neglecting truth and moreover keeping LIE about how many shows are gonna be canceled.

Because if the preparation of The Voice ~~Of Fuckery~~ will take you up and occupied in March, you certainly won’t be able to play around the world when it airs on tv, right?

What about Asia canceling then, Mr. Levine? Be honest, damn...

That runs from last week of April till MIDDLE OF JUNE at least… then why not telling it already to your Asian fans that you will never made it there, eh?

Grow a pair and face consequences, pretty boy.

You’re 32 in a while: you should be grown up enough for facing the outputs of what you’ve started, or is it good only when you have to count bank checks accounts in?

Talkin about money (which is amazing and important, when you make them HONESTLY), have you got an idea on how much people were spending to arrange trips and staying for your supposed dope shows?

No refounds can be given there, Mr. Levine.

I don’t care because I’m fucking rich and to me losing bookings is not a drama; I could even fly whenever I’d liked to to NBC studios and see your FUCK SHOW live often for what it means…

But MY reality isn’t everyone’s reality and it’s repulsive the way you haven’t spoke a WORD directly about this all in more than 30 hours.

Oh Adam… while at Hanky Panky yesterday in Amsterdam, you should have requested your new tattoo shouldn’t read I love “mum”: it should read I love mirrors on me and “$$$”.

It’s not a bad thing in itself… but at least be openly spoken about this all, and stop telling you love Europe and the World, and touring, when you just like to be at your home.

It’s not bad “in itself”: it’s bad if you FAKE other things instead to cover how you really feel.

What a grieving shame.

You know it all already; you know how many more fans are gonna be tricked that yet are unaware and keep hoping: but you’re staying mum and I guess it’s a deep sense of shame (I’d wish it’d be: it would mean to me you are still be someway true somewhere under your paths of self-destruction of what once was such a wonderful display of talent and creativity, instead than a rushing orientation to a spotlight that will never suffice to your parameters anyway…).

I wish you had been canceled gigs for whatever other reason than this one; for starting a family (which I would have SO loved, really), for becoming a MONK even…

I wish it had to do with something more relevant and noble than a way to make yourself pathetically visible like any other regular pop shame personality out there.

I am finding an impossible hard time in getting you this time for finding a small way to forgive you; the main obstacle about this process of copying stays in the fact you’re not being real nor true about the reasons of this move.

It’s the lies, or the truth untold and hidden, that make me icky and sick about you.

It’s a feeling that makes me die inside in my most innocent part.

It’s the youth I had that goes away, I fear.

It’s sad and it bites me inside like a poisoned cobra.

I thought you were an artist… I always, always, always thought of you mostly and mainly as a wonderful, unique artist.

Instead by now you’re just Adam Levine. My former favorite person out of my real world ever, who is hardly battling me and my stubborn memory after proving himself through a terrible choice one of the weakest and most insecure people in recent memory.

I’m so tempted in saying you farewell, and just wish you the best…

I would always wish you the best for the great times and inspirations you’ve gifted me with till 24 hours ago, even though right now you seem like you’re never gonna be a person I will trust or respect or look forward to anymore.

I have this voice inside that wants to push me to say goodbye to all that was so incredibly amazing and good about you: I could still love your singing voice, which is a miracle of perfection and uniqueness; I could still just cherish and adore your songwriting ability… but from what you’ve done, this voice wants me to profess I just can’t like you anymore as person or artist.

You’ve decided YOURSELF you are not an artist, in fact, so I would just follow your lead there, for one last time.

But maybe as I said it’s just the heat of the moment.

It’s so hard to give up on you and the guys… because after so many years of profound empathy, get rid of you is like get rid of a too much of a chunk of me.

I don’t know if I am ready to.

Time will tell what this will leave me with.

I hope it was worth it Adam: I truly hope you’re assured it was, because like me, you gotta realize a wide cut of your no USA fans feel like you’ve just proved yourself like a giant, uncaring, horrible douchebag (I hate to have written this about you, but this time… oh man, you are so deserving it!) .

I have in this iPad I’m writing this update from all the framed passages of what still your greatest gift to me, these days: Stutter, my marriage song.

The video which I have been prepared is too beautiful to be canceled and anyway I unlike you have a way to maintain my promises and words.

And I don’t cancel things just because I don’t like the way sun or clouds fill a day instead than another one.

These images, these drawings… the way you and Anne are shining through colors in what I have so carefully ordered and detailed… this still keep please my heart.

I got a sunny feeling when this very morning, just when, as I twittered my New York morning cheer, I read that Anne was there with you in Paris, in your free day, after her Los Angeles party time at Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

See?

That let me know I keep feeling strangely happy when I picture you and her together… and if I do, it’s because I know with her you are happy Adam.

So maybe yet I don’t fully loathe you, even though for the way you’ve silenced your artist’s side, you’d deserve me – and all of your loyal and music-lovingly fans – to.

So… let’s go to Paris.

Paris still beautiful no matter who hangs in there, who’s not such a beautiful soul to me anymore.

Maybe watching your gal at defilées (I knew she was going to be there, so I think in the end I’ll actually see her catwalking) will make up about you too.

Maybe… maybe time will heal this awfulness I am picturing now about you, this disturbance I get if I try to recall why I have always liked you so for, which right now is punching out and battling with the unnerving action you’ve decided to sign on to.

And the most awkward and stinging thing is… I don’t even know if I want to hope about this, or not.

Time holds all answers… so let’s just make it pass.

Au Revoir, Mes Rêves! Et À Bientôt ou…non?

Nous verrons ce que nous verrons.

Good evening from now cloudy Egeo Sea.

We’re reaching Mykonos and we’re quite amazed at the grace of our lives, and it would take a VERY special event to make me break-in here…

Which in fact did happen.

Lovely masterchief Mark Medina @LakersBlog in Los Angeles Times was so gracious to feature me already in the Blog special feature.

Of course (is anybody surprised?) the title involves my hero, the one and only Kobe Bean Bryant 😉

And THIS, my Lakers Pride and love, and my joy to be shared with all the Laker Fam there, surely deserves this time I take to come here for and update the blog.

In fact I can’t wait for September to come so that I can join back all warmin up season talks in the Blog.

Oh… and next week Serie A starts too.

Fall: Time For Sport 😉

Enjoy… *me* 😉

My Lakers Blog Profile. Thanx Mark Medina 😉

So… cruise still going on.

And man… I’m the happiest I have ever been.

EVER. 😉

Catch you soon again with a GIANT Recap post as well 😉

Bu-bye! 😉

Karim's Harley D for sunday ride

So, we are currently riding home this morning after a wonderful weekend at our friends Bianca and Roberto’s house in Veneto.

We had a wonderful time, we visited countryside on both days, and yesterday we had a very pleasant ride day over our Harleys.

Rob Coff on his Harley sunday

I cherish time with friends and I am always happy in decoding how much Karim fits with any of them he gets to meet for multiple days after maybe a dinner or a quicker introductory visit went out okay.

Today we pack.

Fitting in for one month for me is huge… but for how big my boat is, I know I better avoid to move a closet.

I can always buy something on the journey… 😉

The itinerary has been approved.

We skip Ibiza and the Spanish coast because we’ve been there a lot anyway, and we went to Barceloneta in May so we rather try the other side of Mediterranean instead.

We will move from Genova to Saint-Tropez, then move to Corsica, and then reach Palau and the northern of Sardinia.

From there, we will direct to Elba and Maddalena, then down to Ventotene, and then we will do Ischia and Capri.

We will then go to Eolie islands, we hope to see Agrigento too in Sicily, and from there, feeling quite like Ulysses, we will pass the sea and reach the bottom of Italy, the beautiful thriade Gallipoli, Leuca and Otranto.

From there we will do a bit of Greece and we will finish with Croazia, and get back to Venice.

Boat Life - Maroon 5 (6) in New Hampshire, 31st July 2010

Sounds pretty awesome, right?

Man… I am so happy.

I feel so blessed and lucky… well, it’s that I AM that in fact.

And in all this, I am with Karim (friends will reach us at the various stops, so that we will enjoy also friendly care beside the personnel we have on board to take care of us ;)).

The main thing of yesterday was my well debated, but then really approved, Top Ten Songs 0f 2010 List (so far… but I see it hard to beat at least any of the top 5 places…).

I listen and buy a shitload of music every month; my tastes are variated and I listen to music in 5, 6 languages so my range to pick up from is huge.

Basically, when I evaluate “the best” I try to see the complete package: music, vocals, lyrics, overhall feeling, impact, a sense of personality displayed, and boldness.

it’s not really about genres as much as it’s about… honesty in art.

Because for me music definitely is art.

Look at my Top 10 from my Twitter Page:

Top 10 Songs of 2010

I had to include Robyn’s song because she has this amazing talent in creating life real lyrics and apply them to club situations, and turning them into a well painted scenery of real stuff going on for real people.

Anne and crew in Saratoga, first date of Maroon 5 Summer Tour

I am a big fan of her, and she has actually created one of the songs I feel nearer to (Handle Me), but in “Dancin On My own“, the situation s completely unknown by me (I reject if any… never been rejected or even not considered holy in my life 😉 I know… seems like I bitch out but that’s how my life has worked… and like it will keep on working. Sorry. I’m hot ;)).

Still, she sings it so well I feel like I actually empathize.

That is good music (and then the melody reminds me of Limhal’s Never Ending Story, which I love!!!).

Another point that people got surprised was the fact I named “Airplanes” (#4) best duet of 2010 for me.

They expected either Gotten or Promise out of Slash album to be named that for me… and it should have, if I hadn’t feel those like no duets.

"People" on a boat in New Hampshire at the end of July... 😉

To me a duet has to imply two vocalists: featured vocalists by a legendary guitarists make me not feel that as duet.

And by the way, both Gotten and Promise would definitely belong in my TWENTYFIVE best songs of the year list so far.

But not in the top ten.

😉 Sorry. I’m picky. Even more when it’s about my favourite musicians. I espect always the over top, and being really really good sometimes isn’t enough for pleasing my taste 110%.

Saratoga and a Disco Ball...

I keep being this honest. I think it’s a total virtue, and I don’t care how YOU do feel about it. DEAL with me, or go away. 😉

I have of course bites of stuff about babies on tour, and I honestly await to see that gigantic disco ball live while they will play Give a Little More on stage (cute!!! some of the pics you see here are from their first two shows and from the Boat Ride they took in New Hampshire before the gig… boat are cool this year, I know. Mine is cooler though ;)).

There are also some lovely homage of the one and only Queen that I have to share, that she sent over days (and that I caught only a few hours ago because you know me… Holiday = Holy = No Internet for hours = Fun of Real Life = JOY… ;)).

Remember that yesterday for instance there was some Fuse Re-Run (for USA) and that there are more stuff that Fuse Tv keeps share.

Something like for instance this AUDIO thing:

And then the funny video Adam shared of James on Twitter:

And then that thing you saw also on previous post about Adam and Mickey supporting the No Nukes campaign:

Talkin about Video and Good things, yesterday Green Music Group YouTubed THIS:

To end, we know after a answer Adam provided yesterday before rockin out Connecticut that Maroon5 will be gracing my Milan town by the start of the new year (expected… but by then I will have already seen them at least twice, hopefully thrice ;)…)

I wonder if they’ll follow the plan strictly as last tour or will surprise me with unexpected dates in pleasant European corners.

I still think they are making a mistake in overlooking Europe for too long already, but ehi… they’re adult and experienced: hopefully they do realize what this might imply, and are okay with the outcome anyway.

Choices.

It’s all about choices and responsibility. 😉

Michele Merkin. I wanna be as toned when I am 35 😉

Pleasant Scrubby Stuff: Adam shouted out full of happiness yesterday evening at Michele Markin joining twitter and following him, which he replied with an immediate following at her (they’re clearly friends from quite a time, because all the LA crew followed Adam’s footsteps in the MM’s following so nothing nasty there. At least not currently/anymore… ;)) .

Anne must be really a sporty person… because THIS is Michele (not strange, she’s of Russian Jewish descent. + Swedish. Practically perfection, right? Well, in European optics, DEFINITELY you can’t beat a female 5’11”, with THAT bust and THOSE eyes and lips coming from Sweden and Russia mix of blood. Elves in Tolkien were inspired by THAT genetic. I’m just saying ;)… ;)).

But you know my way of thinkin and phylosophy there: jalousy is the most useless of feelings, both to manifest or carry inside, both to feel object of or make somebody feel inspired with).

Losers, and/or very insecure people are jalous.

Beautiful, successful people who are jalous just haven’t grown up enough, and to me they’re pretty much frauds.

If you do your best and are the best you can be in a relationship, you don’t have to be jalous and you don’t have to fear a single thing (and for me, betrayal is a fragile concept anyway…); so in the end, Anne is safe, as long as everything works and when it eventually wouldn’t anymore (which I hope never happens… you know I am a sucker for them to keep being together)… it’s not another one who is the problem.

It’s still YOU the only problem AND the one and only possible solution as well.

Anne V on that boat in New Hampshire, 31st July 2010... 😉

And by the way, Anne still looks so >>>

Don’t think we could have have any problem, right? 😉

Pearls of sexual Wisdom provided by Miss Z. The gal who wouldn’t mind her man to have sex with others and who would probably just ask “who is better in bed now?” only to have the obvious answer “None can beat you, Z.”

Because there couldn’t be any other possible answer, baby. GUARANTEED 😉

(Yep… I am THIS bitchy 😉 and that full of me. And so far, around 200 people think my nickname is Totally well-deserved. I’ll re-evaluate my self perception in case something earthqwakes that reality… ahahaha!!!)

Don’t be thinkin bad of Adam anyway (and how could you anway? He’s so sweet and adorable!), that is so open it can’t be bad, and Anne followed Michele as well as soon as the rest of the gang (though I am not sure she is part of the “68 chronic masturbators” Adam hinted at… LOL!).

This was what he was declaring about Anne at ET (you saw the video in the previous post) three days ago after all:

adam levine on ET 30 July 2010

But he definitely has a fav type (plus, I find Michele, whom I obviously don’t follow – not interested in her life after all – but whom I naturally put in my Twitter list M5&Related, really really funny. I think guys are tied to gorgeously stunning females who can be as full mouthed and openly sexual like males love to be…. she must be definitely a funny conversation to start along, and has that aura of tomboy I TRULY love to practice as well, which makes me get entertained in my reading) .

And let’s clap hands at him on it.

😉 It’s really really really something no one could blame him for: it’s for the better evolution of human species … ;).

What else now?

After we pack at Karim’s house we will move back to my territory, also because today I have to spend my last chance with my Swifty before I say bye to him for one month.

I will miss my horse so dearly!!! Hopefully he has been getting used to the idea of not seeing me for a while. *hopefully*… 😉

I’d just say to close this… enjoy yourself.

I’m going to be REALLY enjoyed in a bunch of hours…;)

LIFE IS GREAT 😉

Good evening great life and great life ON HOLIDAY!!!

Yes.

Still Images from Official Bang Bang video of K'naan, ftr. Adam Levine (badass!!!)

This post comes while I am enjoying my first hours of freedom, after 3 INSANE and very bitchy ultimate days at work; after a just ended shopping spree at Dior (awww) and a while before Karim and I, as soon as he will end his last session of sculpting (same as last time… I’m not allowed nearby him cos otherwise, as per usual, I’d start to lick his sweating hot body and he would SURE stop sculpting… but he cannot ;)…), will enjoy time together and especially me in a shocking pink bikini and a coordinated bandana.

Why all that?

Let’s say I got candies abundantly from Da Queen Jennifer today and I got to get inspired by new K’naan video, the one he and Adam shot 4 weeks ago in New York (see here).

I won’t post the video cos it’s unavailable yet but I can’t wait to properly buy it (as I always do with everything I love… for instance today in 15 minutes I bought over iTunes 11 old italian albums… ), but you see some stills in the first collage.

Anne V in new Orange by Hugo Boss advertising campign

I LOVE the video style.

Very fashion/badass, and it still remain simple.

I actually went to that Dior store hoping to find shoes similar to those you will see in the video at min. 0.11 ;).

This post will be fullfilled with video and news bites… (oh!!! and Kanye West has joined Twitter!!! I IMMEDIATELY followed him. I followed him half a day before Adam woke up on it 😉 LOL…)

We leave for our cruise on boat on Tuesday, but I have already to tell you don’t expect “fancy” cute long posts while I will be holiday-ing.

I will surely post all I will get to know/receive about babies on Tour (because yes, tour life has started TODAY in Saratoga and they are so totally delighted about that!!), but think that I will be on vacation and that if naturally this blog isn’t an addiction to me in regular year times… well, on holiday to update this will be nothing more than a kind gesture merely landed on those who like to read here, and not elsewhere (if they do exist... ;)) stuff about things I like, and therefore people I like (that they might like as well).

But let’s try to go in some order, because I have tons left from past days to show you (btw, their support for some days will be the very talented VV Brown!!! Whooo!!!).

We are of course starting from where we left, namely the Fuse show.

There are versions online that are not even coming close to the real thing, so until I won’t have something valuable I will let you maybe a bit down (not really).

I love what I have heard of the new songs.

I really, really like what will allegedly be the second single that they performed there (Give a Little More), and I am sure you can appreciate along me what PopWrap shared (it’s the live of Misery from the Beacon :))

Click on to see the video from New York Post "PopWrap"

There will be other re-runs of the Fuse gig concert… but of course (darn!!!) this sadly values ONLY if you watch it from USA (*sigh*).

At least we can still see the Photo gallery, right?

Adam and Jesse on the way to Billboard HQ

Before starting to move after the Fuse gig (the day after Adam and Jesse went on a train trip to reach Billboard HQ for the Live Q&A, that you’re gonna see/hear in minutes…), there is something really, really REALLY amazing that we have to read and see together.

Adam was part of the content of Inked Magazine Issue of August.

Awww.

Adam in Inked Magazine

And the beauty is that the article was written by himself, and it’s AWESOME.

No need to say as soon as I learnt this was out, I subscribed online for a year long membership ONLY to get THIS number.

$15 and some well spent. 😉

That article he wrote himself detailes his love for tats and for rides and it’s just brilliantly evocative in style of prose.

He’s so talented with words.

He paints emotional sceneries with those, effortlessly, and out of any prefabrication which would result cheesy.

Adam Levine in Inked Magazine - 1 -

This even when the subject itself may be cheesy.

The best part is that through that interview you truly catch how simple, and honest as person he is, and moreover an more important, how simple and as honest as person he cares to keep being.

He’s so awesomely grounded… but in a very quirky, sometimes funny and goofy way, you cannot avoid to love him as he is, exactly.

Adam Levine in Inked Magazine - 2 -

I hope as well though that “whomever I will end getting married to” (awwww… if he thinks of it… maybe he THINKS truly of it? awww….) will prevent him from biking once kids will be around, being “hopefully smart enough“.

So lovely, this piece of writing.

I would adore to hear in sometime that he is getting engaged, and fathering a new generation of handsome creatures 🙂

Another thing that he finally got to reveal, ending a debate Karim and I were having about it, is the name of his place of electione where he gets inked at when being on the West Coast -we actually got to hint several times that he may preferably FLY there to actually get any tattoo right now… – .

Ladies and Gentlemen, now we DO know for sure that tattoo parlour is Adorned!!!

But a thing I never ever got to actually acknowledge by certainty yet was the name of the artist he digs the most there (because he’s a guest artist yet), and whom he revealed in Inked Magazine being Brian Randolph.

Adam Levine arm sleeve tattoo by Brian Randolph at New York Adorned

I really love that Adam stated naturally that he is up for really NOT coloured tats.

I can’t stand body paint in huge amount with one trillions colors.

Adam Levine in Inked Magazine. Written by himself.

They are not really my cup of tea and I think they are very disarmonic.

But luckely, he will keep ink himself in just loosely blued and darkened colours.

Adam in Inked Magazine - 5 -

Fits his pale, lovely skin a lot better.

All in awe about this unexpected candy, we get even more thanx as per usual to the amazing Jennifer Coles, that today sent the videos from the Billboard Q&A Adam and Jesse went at on wednesday.

There is something so sweet and cute in the way they act together.

You could tell by MILES that they are really brothers with just different couple of parents.

I love everytime Jesse and Adam are together, it’s a great image and feeling to me.

But now you will of course want to know about the Q&A, so sit back and enjoy these 5 videos :

then this…:

this…:

and this last part:

Whooo!!! That was a lot and a lot lovely, innit?

but we haven’t finished yet.

Oh, no… 😉

After the New York stuff, which in Anne’s case included a stop at another kind of Brooklyn Shop (aww, we found where she buys all those great pieces of antique jewelry!!) the crew and the lovely, overly talented #6, PJ Morton (that guy is such a wonderful addition!! he’s ADORABLE and hugely talented, indeed) moved towards Saratoga Springs (the location of today’s gig).

Of course, sweet Anne was aboard along.

I cannot avoid to melt when I think what it has to be like to share THAT tourbus being in love with the people belonging in there.

Jesse captured by PJ

I also believe the happiest people on tour are, the best the tour is gonna result actually; therefore I’m ALL for this joined ride 😉

They have also quite goofed around while reaching there, which is always a good sign, right?

That dude at Karaoke yesterday evening seemed pretty impressive, in both Jesse‘s and James’ eyes.

I wonder why Adam decided to tweet about a goddddddamawful movie instead ;).

Anyway, yesterday is gone and they are just hours away from the gig.

This opens a lot of possibilities for Adam’s hyperactivism, which we really hope he’s gonna battle exactly as he hinted a few minutes ago.

But being Adam adorable and being his bandmates AS adorable, there are also other and way more important kind of activism that they practice and pursue:

“NO NUKES!!!!” is one of those things they aim at that make me LOVE these guys with my whole heart. Follow through. Please.

Random final notes in this truly huge post. Another video from ET, while I recall you that this evening they are also on EXTRA (I guess we will have that video too in a subsequent post):

Then the preview of the fact next month on Fuse there will be the broadcast of something Touré described so :

“Just finished a smart, funny, candid, revealing interview with Maroon 5. Can’t wait for you to see it. On Fuse next month.”

This is something to look forward (as it is to discover WHICH gig Bones’ creator Hart Hanson will actually catch out of their tour…) 😉

Enjoy your night peeps.

Karim is almost done with sculpting and well… I have a new tiny pink outfit to test… 😉

Holiday Time!!!!

Whooooooooooo-Hooooo!!! 😉

Tracking back

World, welcome back!

Yes, it’s me both writing and uploading this.

At home, yesterday. Rode Swifty, won at tennis... PERFECT!

I’m in the breaking moment of my first day back at work after USA trip, and being this a day among farms to evaluate tests along the producers, I can enjoy some summer sun in the middle of a heated up countriside and upload this through Noah.

Trip has been SO beautiful.

The part in LA got wonderfully accompanied by some days spent in New York.

Leaving New York, Never Easy...

What to say… Karim and I love Big Apple.

I have the usual reaction all Europeans have for that town… no matter how I love California as entity, (and I do endlessly), New York holds a special place in my heart because it’s just so… in the middle of everything.

And you actually have all the Four Seasons there.

I love that for instance I can enjoy also rainy or grey days there (and last one was cloudy most part), and that I can step off and be just a normal citizen wearing something more regular than not a tank, short pants and flip flops (the usual look in LA).

New York: Center of the world.

Don’t get me wrong… my heart is Californian BUT I love that Karim like me loves to be in New York a lot.

I didn't buy anything there this time... 😉 I did in LA!

He has a house there… but he doesn’t love to hang in there.

Something bad happened there in his childhood days, so about findin a place of our own also in NY, he said just:

“Sure, why not… I need another place to call my own here and right now, only a place shared with you can be my own, my love.”

Awwww.

🙂

During our further days in New York, I finally reached an agreement with the American Partners.

Say BYE BYE TO OTTO starting form January the 1st, 2011!!!!!

You can bet I am delighted.

Ah!

Karim instead sold two of his past sculptures (included the phoenix I so loved!!!) and got three more orders. It’s funny that he does this “as hobby”, being now really up to become a professor and a scholar on his own… What is interesting for me is that he will have to sculpt a lot more.

And you know how I get sexualized when he does that 😉

Adam and Chovy making new friends at LAX

Marghe right now is tracking our steps back in New York. She has arrived just a couple of hours ago, but she’s way luckier than I was there…

Yep, because as I anyway predicted, Sweet Babies are there prior to the performance at the Today Show (they actually arrived JUST exactly when I was leaving out… great timing, right? ).

But okay, I better try and being really tracking back facts since last post, or none of you will get a thing.

JimmyV relaxing on the plane

Let’s start from Wednesday, 23th of June, when the happy crew of the Babies AND of course Russian Fairy went on a private plane to reach Chicago House of Blues – that’s Adam’s thigh aside Anne, if you wonder…-, where a private event was scheduled to take place (we just know what certainly Adam DIDN’T read on that plane…).

Members of SIN went there, invited by the band out of a contest (Yup!! Psycho too ;)).

But not only those: Charisse, like us, is not a SIN member, but she could actually witness the show pre… in… and after. She loved it a lot (it was filmed AND although it was kinda short set, with only two new songs, she said they looked&sounded greatly on form!), but her eyes were more taken by a certain couple GLOWING standing together actually: awwww!!!

Jesse, Cami and Anne at House of Blues

*love*…

You can see from these pictures, all taken by the tweets of Anne and Jesse, that Miss V. has definitely entered the inner circle of traveling sweet halves along her man, just like the rest of the babies’ significant others have (logically!).

What is cute is that Adam actually sticks to Chovy as much as she does when they are together.

Awww (and I still DON’T like those kind of small dogs… but I love the way he gets tendered up by that specific one, just because it’s hers…).

Cheesy? Maybe. Adorable? ABSOLUTELY. Awww 🙂

Okay, you know how these two are lovely to me together: I won’t justify this fact.

I like them together: FULL STOP.

I also totally backed the very childlike input of writing that sign over the House of Blues walls.

I may recall you all that ME, the LESS romantic person on planet Earth known until recently, not longer than a month ago on a beach near to Barcelona wrote all over the sandy beach hearts with the initials “Z” + “K”.

Anne is in that same phase, and although in his own personal way, definitely Adam‘s there too.

This reminds me of the classic Queen shot for Bohemian Rhapsody

I find it genuinely adorable (and I’m one year older than her, so if I do, she can do it too… who wouldn’t in her place? Exactly ;))

Warming up for the start of the Summer Tour, Open up a space to Tune in On Fuse on July 27th, ya’ll ;), and then if you need a lil lecture take this lil excerpt out from this EW issue, too.

Around these hours Adam is actually bound to be interviewed on a radio. Allegedly, he will be asked about some fascination with iPhone4 (did they receive one each at the iTunes Acoustic session recordings? Anyway, I have bought one while in New York and I LOVE IT TOO!!!!!)

Talking about activities to be scheduled, know that on Thursday there will be another gig privately held and hosted by VEVO with Maroon5, and you can get selected to attend (Marghe, Charisse… I HATE you both, you biatches ;)… kidding!!! Have lotta fun!).

On saturday on Bang Bang video set

If you wonder what Adam did during weekend, well… HOLD ON….

HE SHOT BANG BANG VIDEO ALONG K’NAAN!!!!!!

When they wrote it I barely held myself in contaiment.

Yes, yes, YES!!!

I am waiting for this video to be shot since I firstly bought Troubadour 🙂 !

(therefore, hear me scream and see me jump and smile, even now that I am at work… *Finally*!!!! Not that my own video wasn’t cute, but I drool to have A REAL VIDEO TO BUY now!!! And I still wait for Misery one like an epyphany, too!!!)

Talkin about Misery, this comes from Babies’ YouTube directly, so I can link it here too:

Pictures from Bang Bang set instead are courtesy of Ben Berkman (Octone MainMan);)

I am pretty longing to put hands on anything related to Babies right now… and if only James’ hints about the photoshots for the album were right… LOL 😉

What more?

Oh, sure… I have to leave with the last Adam’s tweets before I slept last night.

It was Gay Parade day in Manhattan if you don’t know, and after some asked him about he taking a walk among it all , he answered THIS way (oh, Adam… wouldn’t you just say “sorry, I’m caged in the room with Anne doing everything BUT gay stuff” ? That’d have been even more amusing… LOL…).

But at least he was conscious his words would have been subject of misquoting (maybe already in the radio interview?)…

Poor angel.

Let’s just honour instead the serious side of Adam by quoting THIS he said, which I simply couldn’t agree more (NOTE: Adam has Chris Cornell as reference for great singing… while Dikkie, the genetic jump, has… Miley Frigging CYRUS. What’s wrong in this genetic pairing? Boy… the ashaming consequences of bad life mixtures…):

“People who want to be singers should listen to a soundgarden tune called ‘the day I tried to live’ …one of my favorite vocals…”

And so to honour Adam’s as per usual impeccable taste, I leave you EXACTLY with that, and the awesome voice of my adored Chris:

Have a great start of the week 😉

NOTE FOR READERS: for those waiting, the Psycho dedicated website will be up from July 10th, and not as previously reported, on July 1st.

The look the site dedicated to Psycho will have 😉

My impossibility to check my password devices while in USA caused a delay in the fltering of all webpages in the new site created aptly for the purpose.

Sorry for that, but I leave you with a lil snippet of the graphic…

Get ready to have fun along.

The provider has accepted all the downloading schemes there and finally my money spent on the customization will have a nice output.

I like to do things in style.

And I never forget an offence.

Never.

So, stay tuned: I will link the site from my Twitter main page, and as I said, it’s not a WordPress site at all.

Bye Bye! 😉

	End of a full on 201… on OMG! Adam and Behati will MARR…
