Life indeed can be a Fairy Tale, you just have to find the right person to make you believe so. Bless Behati, (Mermaid) Angel of TRUE LOVE
I know I know… it has been a VERY LONG hiatus but I had warned you all that this space is my private oasis which I am in no way bound to consider at any planned time like a duty to fulfill for any reader (I write assuming I have none actually beside my dearest friends and… the future me, willing to remember how great my youth was: even if at 28 I have past the “youth” state, as I get to realize every day a bit more, and without any bad feeling about it actually).
I tried I don’t know how many times to update this but I failed every single one, sending the drafts to trash can and just givin up before I really wanted to write something, especially when I was alone in hotel rooms for work or waiting in airports for flights and connections.
Truth is I was always ending up reading books 😉 both on iPad virtual sheets or else enjoying the touch of a real book like the old times.
I come in here when I do feel and like; there’s no “due date”, there was never and it won’t ever be; it will happen also one day or another that I simply won’t ever come back again, and this blog will remain further un-updated.
Life is life and when it takes over, and brings you practically ALL around the world (blessed me) you just don’t have time to blog, do you?
True, I’ve been back from my long wanderings already a few times since I wrote extendedly in February, but as I am growing older, I had so many things to do (way better things to do) each single of them instead of blogging, like cheering OUR SEXY WAY after 10 days separation my hubby, or spending all possible time along my Italian friends after for two months I had to see them only through Skype being consecutively in Usa, Japan, China, and half of Europe that my priorities simply didn’t encompass any of… here.
I mean, I love blogging when it’s about time; it just felt so far like it wasn’t about that time enough ;).
Basically I am also asking those coming over here every now and again, sneaking, to just live with the fact this is not what they expect to be and stop filling my mailbox with absurd questions.
My life is jet bound and I love it…
This blog is for my worlds’ people; it’s incidental and coincidental if others read it but to me, also, it completely doesn’t matter: I don’t write for any stranger who comes to read this: so face the fact and don’t question the way or the times I update this because you have no role in it.
I also deeply dislike obnoxious mails and I don’t have any will to interact with strangers which means your opinions (of any kind) regarding what I do or how I am have the impact of a zero in my own Universe, and yelling or begging through mails or similar won’t change this at all.
It will just make me block you but not because you even annoy me… it’s just that I don’t like irrelevant fuss, and I always choose to stop the source of it for how small it may be .
It breaks my Zen pace, and that’s it: it will get cut out if it comes ;).
Hope it’s clear, so thankyouverymuch don’t bother me and if you like to read, well… read; while if you don’t… then what the hell are you here for? ;).
Back to the track (I will lose track of writing many times considering how huge and long is the span of weeks I will be covering… ).
So, I basically was almost giving up with the idea of updating this with a consistent post and I was ready to just write a small one about my Kobe Bryant in Italy, the shame of Dwight HOCOward and the sad fate of my Lakers in the year when Monkey Bronzey got a proper ring (shame… but this one unlike the half one of past year is REAL, I got to live with it…), the mess of Italian political tragedies, the new and beloved Pope Francis I, the fact that I am starting to wish I could be pregnant in a not-so-distant future, one of my best ever friends marrying, and some expectations on a just-about-to-happen anniversary trip with Karim (I will probably post this from the airport hall, I am already aware of this as I start writing on a sunny Saturday which we are spending at my parental house after being here all of yesterday evening too after the most awesome day out horseback riding in Pianura Padana) and I was about to just link and endless series of videos about Maroon 5 (which are already uploaded, almost all of them, in the way more up-to-date sections of NAWWAL 4 and NAWWAL 5) and Adam and his biz ventures… but then…
I actually had a previous idea in mind on some more “on-point” type of post which of course got completely scrapped because of what took over (you must get it from the title) so some of the pictures I had prepared will have a kinds strange title maybe or strange captions but when I created them I had NO IDEA what was about to happen and after I did I hadn’t time to remake things already done so be it ;).
We did lost great people recently… So long Margherita, you GENIUS, inspiring, amazing woman of SCIENCE & LOVE!
Before dwelling into the things and THE THING (I have not even idea on how to start writing that… it makes me SO happy and I can’t contain the joy, even if of course it has nothing to do with me in reality… but it still make me so happy, like a great book or a great movie or a great piece that I got to witness which makes my hope in the goodness of life being re-enforced), let me just tell that my own life too is shifting towards new territories and I am so delighted about that too.
Got SO much that I am thankful for to spill the bean about concerning these past four months and some…
SO much that has deeply impacted me and my life!
I could just post all the pictures and try to describe but it wouldn’t work (then if you follow me on Twitter and Instagram you must know already), as the majority of things that have blossomed in my heart and soul in these months of wandering from Far West to far East, from the romance of Sweden and the greatness of London and Berlin to the glam of Cote d’Azur for Montecarlo Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival can’t be truly framed.
The impact of another Japan lovingly trip… the huge impression China has had on me… the Great Mongolian vibes… all of that is a bliss which made me take steps within myself that are gonna change a bit of my life quite soon hopefully.
I’ve always felt Zen somewhere in me… but now; NOW I truly know I AM Zen innerly 🙂
One of my best ever friends and one of the perks of my “friendly benefiting days” got also married, and it’s deep and huge the way I felt blessed by that too.
It was a fascinating moment when his bride (whom I adore) told me she was grateful to me for shaping him that way she couldn’t fail to love.
I never really thought I’d shaped him at all: the way Fede and I connected on all levels was already “HE” from the start; if any I just kept telling him in life (and love is exactly the same, as it’s “life” too) you have to be yourself and always only that. People will judge if they can’t handle truth but those people don’t and won’t matter as long as anyone is honest with himself/herself.
So did friendly benefiting turn Fede into a better man?
I don’t know: I don’t think so… But maybe having to handle a strong-willed female helped him putting strong-willing females on the map as a great thing and not as a menace, which is more than half-men these days can come to realize will still exist, may they like it or not.
Fede’s marriage was amazing in an amazing place with amazing people!
Does Fede’s very beautiful and very lovely wife put in me way too much importance, did I do really something so valuable in his and therefore theirs lives?
I still dubious…
But apparently in her eyes I did and she is happy and he’s happy and I am happy so look?
Life has its greatest way to find the best patterns for everyone as long as people are real to themselves and others.
With no fears or constrictions.
I’m proud of who I am and of the fact the people I love are too.
I’m a very lucky person… and appreciating this love I get (and try to give, my best way) every single darn day.
So during these numerous weeks is like I got like a seed (or a series of them) which have been planted deeply in my core and the outcomes are daily still changing me.
The most important thing still that anytime I get now to see babies (my dearest one Eve above them all) I keep feeling this tingling…
I haven’t yet given up the pill… but Summer comes, holiday comes and RIGHT now our anniversary trip is coming and who knows… I MIGHT.
28 may be a good time to try to add infinite joy to our infinity joyous life.
You’ll know how it goes eventually.
Probably 😉
But not all in my life went just perfect these months…
Nothing can ever be just perfect in human life… this is a rule we have all to accept.
If I were willing to be just funny I’d just mention the abomination of Howard in Lakers Land…
COWARD DWIGHT HOWARD. Scum of the Earth.
But sadly there so much more and more important which has darkened my spirit.
Actually after the tragedy, my admire for The Mamba has even grown (didn’t think it could be possible) up.
I am even more inspired by his force and his bravery and his focus and determination in coming back.
He’s a legend in sport and he traces what I strive to become as for dedication and will (and skill, of course).
My hero will come back stronger than ever. Go KOBE!
I have no doubt he will come back and win again before retiring… I wish I could have met him in Italy last week; I never hated to be vacationing on a yacht like I did a week ago.
His love for Italy (my Milan, and Florence, and Michelangelo) is such a wonderful thing…
The things he does and the way he does them make me realize all is there if you TRULY wants it to be.
Nothing breaks him… only makes him evolve and get better, with pure effort and the strongest personality.
But for how terrible it was, Kobe’s dramatic painwas hardly the most displeasing thing that occurred during these months.
Of course being away this long, in such far away places (some of which aren’t exactly into European things, or American… ) hasn’t made me miss (how could I?) the ongoing FUCKING saga of Italy’s political situation.
Where “FUCKING” means exactly that: we are fucked in unmistakeable ways, my fellow Countrymen.
Oh, boy… I can’t fathom the ways Italy is able to ruin itself; I can’t stand the way the Left party in Italy scientifically… I’d say surgically always steps down and downwards to new lows EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Every single chances they get to keep on rising the level of ridiculous surrounding them… you can bet they will take the chance enthusiastically.
If you decode irony or sarcasm… it’s my last resource of sanity in a world that clearly has got it no more.
*sigh*.
In a very few days I hope Berlusconi finally gets CONDEMNED for being the criminal he is; I can’t stand the way the claim of being voted by lots of (stupid) people can amend crimes: people better remember Hitler got elected. Did that make his role, person, crimes any less relevant?
NOPE.
I get people feel stupid and ashamed for believing so deeply a filthy repulsive criminal but eh, keep on defending him will only keep making you act more foolish and won’t erase the crimes, only enlarge them and the responsibility of them will also be on your shoulder.
Berlusconi is a cancer for Italy.
It has to be eliminated (not that Italians won’t find other stupid people to put their wrong faith in… Grillo is already here sadly!) from the map, even though I fear Mr. D’Alema will try to be nasty again and save his ass (I blame him for the fact we had to sustain such a criminal for so long, actually).
Why can’t Italians be more considerate?
Why oh why we keep being ridiculous in our picks for politicians (?) and we put hopes up for people who are clearly NOT fitting or fulfilling such expectations AT ALL?
I always look elsewhere for political inspirations these days…
We were (of course) in USA for July 4th and I was really happy to be there and share this moment with my family there.
Proud to be half-American now. But I am ITALIAN still forever and 110%. That’s it.
I appreciate the huge Country spirit Americans have… I wish I could claim a person like Obama for Italy… I wish we could be guided by a true leader like him.
Hopes blossom in time of hard pain tho, don’t they?
So let’s keep hope and then act to make the hope TRUE.
In my days away I always end to feel deeply connected with my adored Italy…
Lucky me that Karim has always adored my Country just the same, to the point he immediately said he would have loved to been based here.
Who knows in the future…
We have houses here and there, and there will be a time when he probably will have to step into some of the fam biz from a closer point of view but home is where the heart is and no matter what… Italy is mine.
All my rants about my Country come out of pure unfiltered and unbound, unrestricted adoration.
I can’t bear to see the way my fellow Countrymen fell and fall for clearly scum people; I can’t stand that we are letting our own Paradise, the most beautiful place in the world (it is) fall in ruin (even in real meaning of the word); I can’t watch the way we let such treasures fade and vanish and the way we are not here to preserve and protect it all for posterity.
I don’t get how people cannot feel empowered by belonging to the Country which birthed the greatest geniuses of all time, and instead seem to hide behind the worst kind of men hoping they solve troubles, when they only can make more of them for us clearly.
But ehi, here’s just another rant.
I know.
But you must know instead that I am keeping doing my best in work and action and projects and foreseeable steps to be a GOOD Italian myself: creating value for my Country and opportunities to make it get better.
See you in 15 years and I am sure I will have done GOOD THINGS.
At least music always helps me and whenever I feel disgusted by thing I turn on to it and lately I have been at amazing gigs…
Up at the peak there was OF COURSE THE BOSS, the one and only Bruce Springsteen.
Best live artist EVER.
I also witnessed LorenzoJovanotti, and got the pleasure in Cannes to meet Daft Punk (whose success makes me so proud and enchanted!).
I also got to meet Cindy Lauper when we were in USA way earlier this year so so far 2013 is amazing in musical terms 🙂
Music is a bliss.
If I could add just one thing to me (and you know I don’t think I’d need to be any better because yes, I do like myself A LOT…) that would be musical talent.
I love my husband so much because he has that talent and the visual art talent and this makes the perfect combo to me.
All things you all already know.
My music love is what in the end keeps me keen at the untold “other subject” of this blog.
Because yep, it happens that NO MATTER how much they fuck with the chances I give them, Maroon 5 somehow have been a constant in my life and their songs have helped me a lot in many frames of it and for a reason that sometimes I tried to fight against (unsuccessfully) I keep “feel” them, in a very huge way, despite the occasional bumps their professional choices cause me to suffer.
What do I mean for “occasional bumps”?
Well, for instance when they cancel another European tour I had tickets for just because of The FuckeryThat ThingThe Voice that Karaoke Show mess.
As if that terrible, terrible show – (which I have seen in his first show FORCED when it premiered with Shakira and Usher as I was in NY and friends wanted to catch it… it REALLY didn’t impress me at all, though I could see why people may like it, all I could think of was “these shows ruin music value” ) – didn’t give Adam enough troubles already (he’s way too open and too openly liberal to work “fakely” on a tv show such as a family tv show… It’s never a surprise that his natural way to be outspoken causes him drama – albeit stupid drama – on such a type of “entertaining” (?) format):
American are stupid in so many ways, if they couldn’t decode the context in which he said this…but ehi, if you watch such a terrible show as The Voice, the start of your IQ mustn’t be high in the first place…
Do I have to start the update of these months from a rant about the band I so much love?
Yep.
Why not.
They deserve because they keep screwing European fans, and I am one of them even if I have already tickets for many of the Summer shows (I don’t know which one we will catch, so we just bought a bunch…), and for being the lucky brood I am , for me it’s never a problem to fly all over the world to catch shows (or anything else) I love to see.
But this I have is a privilege not many have, and I fumed when they canceled out thinking about all those sincere fans being cut out and losing money just because a stupid TV production had to step in (and again, there were no sincere words nor apologies with explanations to those fans, which was seriously so fucked up, guys… Adam may have contractual commitments but at least admit the schedule clashing and let people have REASONS for their disappointments. European audiences don’t watch USA tv and don’t count for your AI so you couldn’t be affected there, NBC!).
I still angry if I think about it. I am starting to think they will simply stop to tour Europe, which is their less impacting market, unless forced to…
I get that the Fuckery that awful Karaoke Show is very successful and makes your profile HUGE and has made Adam richer tan he could have ever imagined to become without it but screwing loyal fans, whose only fault is to live across the pond, trust me guys, ain’t a good idea.
You should have addressed all this in a sincere apology and the thing would have been at least more dignified.
As I write this, the point is that along my crew we have already re-bought the European shows, as well… so…
My rage was still smaller than my will to catch them again allegedly.
Let me vent a bit at least… even though you know in the end I always forgive them and that cat-eyed frontman, whose voice has the instant power of making my soul happy.
Damn you, Adam.
😉
How The Voice killed American Idol – sigh –
But this shouldn’t be the way I start to talk a bit (no, it won’t be “a bit”… I think it will be a super long ass part from now on actually ;)) about the band.
Or Adam.
No, I shouldn’t probably throw in first these minor details…
I shall write immediately what everyone knows I am about to, probably… 😉
And therefore I should mention the fact that the unthinkable has happened and the “Hookup Table” that was meant to be just updated here (and in the original post) for a series of new faces to be added after his Nina Agdal hookup (I was sure that wouldn’t have lasted, though I was excited he snagged also her, because she was fitting amazingly in the list of his bedded conquests with her amazing body and assets) is actually yes, updated… but it is update in its FINAL version now.
So yes…
Adam actually bedded Nina Agdal (not that anyone is surprised he could) for a couple of months around Spring:
Adam Levine was dating Nina Agdal – May 2013
As you see when I created the picture I couldn’t imagine (read the captions) that something so incredible could happen, and that this hookup with Nina would have been a farewell to Adam manwhore ways (the glorious manwhore ways of somebody who has bedded ANYBODY breathing sexy at a reachable span, for DECADES. And you know I approve this because folks, sex is the spice of life and if you don’t get it, I am VERY sorry for you!).
Yes, The Hookup and Dating Table of Adam Levine is NOW COMPLETE.
“Complete” as no one else will be included, from now on ;).
It won’t be updated I hope for the rest of his life (well, Hollywood is Hollywood, you know there ten years may feel as 100, but I am confident this which has happened is happening to survive the test of time even there) because…
Well, Just look:
Adam Levine dated TONS of amazing looking women. But only ONE had the soul and the heart to conquer him forever. This is the list of all of his girlfriends and hookups, until his heart delivered exclusively itself to a Mermaid Angel of Love, Behati Prinsloo. Congratulations to both! I knew you were soulmates! Awww ❤
I need to start and recollecting feelings to be able to write.
I don’t have a plan on how to process this post from now on, because as I said I wasn’t ready at all for this:
I didn’t expect it and when it happened it knocked me (HAPPILY!!!!!) way off my feet.
I will try to get back and monitor what Maroon 5 and Adam did from this past March to now (which is the time I haven’t covered yet) and in parallel trying to also put together what Adam and Behati’s did, though as I said it won’t be easy because I thought they were done for good, and I wasn’t even sent material on them anymore (basically my blog folder was lacking steps as I started to think about this post yesterday in my parents’ garden).
But before I get into chronicles I need to just trace what this news has meant in my world of fan of a band, of a man, and of MUSIC and dare I say in my state of married person who never believed she was meant to marry until I found my Karim (better, until my Karim found me actually).
In the break-up time Adam became increasingly annoyed by social media. I don’t see this ending not even now that he’s happy again because tons of mean people kept harassing Behati all along, even when they were supposedly broken up. These “fans” don’t deserve any of Adam’s glimpses of life. The more he gets private and the better it will be for his life. THE REAL life.
In a way… I feel like I AM Adam in this, and Behati so much resembles Karim in what she was able to achieve and discover and reveal that was always there, but seemed clocked behind thick bars.
Maybe that’s why I TRULY have always loved Adam and Behati together: I feel empathy with what they have, because it recalls me what I do have.
It’s of course not a real shared thing, but as I said I feel empathic nonetheless: my sympathy for this couple roots in my own essences, and this simply can’t be unmade or changed.
But let’s move on.
When it was clear they had broken up, I felt like the inevitable was happening again: no matter how PERFECT I always thought Behati was for Adam, it seemed no one could tame him.
I thought: “Bee tried the best anyone could… and if not even her amazing love could make Adam feel loved, then we will have a perpetual bachelor on the prowl because no one else has ever loved him the way Bee did, without using him at all… and the next ones will be probably just there to use him again, like some successfully did before Behati came to the rescue and soothed his needing soul last year.“.
Not that I was thinking Adam could be tricked again from fame searching “girlfriends” tho: he simply would have had his fun, shared a bit of love, or “let people borrow it a bit” as he loves (loved?) to state, and we would have gotten many new songs on new hookups and heartbreaks until he would recede from the spotlight and probably end like George Clooney, or Leo Di Caprio, aging while his side pieces would have not, and maybe after finding some solace out of the limelight, he could have finally married some obscure rich Jew woman involved with the cream of Hollywood law firms.
Yes, because for sure, he would not take “a normal folk” ever, not even if he had to at 45, and from his Production Chairman role up in the Hills (something he will soon or later become, a man running companies working in the Entertainment Field).
I wouldn’t have had complaints if this was going to be the output, let this be clear.
Love and Sex are personal and awesome and whatever choice Adam would be making, I knew it would have been the right one FOR HIM.
And I am a fan of HIM, after all; I am not because I agree with anything he does (look, The Fuckery), but because I have an utmost respect and consideration of the person he is, which among brackets makes me happy with the art he makes, and that I am convinced pours from his heart.
I respected his choice to break with Behati because my opinion of Adam (no matter how much he pisses me off with The Voice tragedy) is that his soul is a clear one, a soul which has always been in deep search of true love, and to me all that was clear from his actions in life has always been that his actions follow his deepest need his soul asks for…
And I thought by the time A&B broke up his soul, (a soul that was so in need of the purest form of love but also terrified to accept it fully, because his first and only love Jane made him die inside, and his parents’ divorce crushed his delicate and sensitive soul as a kid) simply told him he couldn’t be with Behati the way she wanted so he shouldn’t be with her, wasting her precious time and amazing soul away, in a pointless series of hurting turn-arounds.
When Behati took this in St.Barths they were broken up, but I was still loving her… and also Adam did 😉
It’s a situation he had been into a couple of times already, so I thought he just knew again it was time to move on.
Little incipit…
Am I naive in thinking Adam’s soul is good? Isn’t he a manwhore? Isn’t he a sex addict?
Sure he is… but how does that qualify his soul badly?
When is that loving sex and thinking it is a very important part of life if lived consciously and honestly becomes tarnishing for the soul?
To be a sexual active person, a kinky spirit, doesn’t mean the soul is tarnished.
AT ALL.
I am FULLY convinced Adam’s soul is pure, and I have receipts to that.
Adam’s songs are his soul: whoever can read his songs and his lyrics has to understand that Adam is in search of a true, immense love since he has started to sing.
Don’t get fooled by the fact he’s super sexy and a super smooth player in sex games: read throughout and deep down the surface: Adam is a clear soul bound to find LOVE.
He has ALWAYS been that, and he has always been in need, in desperate need, of THAT special love.
Listen carefully to all of his songs: you must understand it through it and if you don’t it means you are NOT musical at all.
I am sure one of the sources Behati has always had to GET Adam is his music: she can decode music souls and she understood what type of soul Adam was and is STRAIGHT away.
This probably made also her feel she had found her soulmate in those lyrics, in that soul pouring into his songs, that he seemed so conspicuous in denying a tad too often.
I feel Behati was always bound to make that soul he protected till the point he was hurting it free to fly and free to be without compromises and moreover without fears.
A kid has finally grown… but even when a kid, he was so cute 😉
And that’s why I always wanted her to be at his side: because Behati’s soul could feel Adam’s in ways even Adam thought not possible (until very recently, clearly: now he DOES believe there is someone who finally FEELS him fully the way lovers are supposed to feel one another).
But let’s get back to the process in which these steps had to be taken: namely the two former lovers were broken and reality struck in and it was under my eyes then that not even Behati could make him see that light he needed apparently…
He didn’t want marriage?
Good still, for me: not anyone is made to get married, or believe in true love makeable for what appeared to be Adam’s super high standards…
I mean… I didn’t believe in longlasting love either: then it came Karim but I thought there were no Karim for Adam, and that would not make his life any less valuable… we would have ages of sexy vixen at his side and he would end up with a different babe every year and a half.
It wouldn’t have been bad in my book.
Sex is great and not everlasting love can be very cool too.
But I was sorry for Behati: actually I stopped following her on twitter and Instagram (I kept her in the Maroon 5 list on my twitter tho) because it was clear to me she was still in deep love with Adam, and it hurt me imagining her suffering.
And while I always unfollow people that stop to be part of M5 world after they get ejected from it, I was keeping very sad about it because for real Behati had been a breath of amazingly fresh air in my days for the months she had been by Adam’s side.
But ehi, it’s Hollywood and anyway NONE of these famous people life truly affect or shall affect our living days, so I just got used to “Adam and Behati no more” and wished Behati to recover soon.
But two things immediately stood out for me about her after the (untold) breakup.
First, she was keeping being AWESOME, and never ever using Adam ONCE not even after the split.
All of Adam’s people kept being with Behati ALL along during their break-up phase. ALL of them. The band, (new and old members) and the FAMILY of Adam. ALL of them made sure Behat was never feeling alone or left out. They KNEW she was the one before Adam could reckon it even. True Love can see True Love. Always
She didn’t mention him, and no stories on her as “ex girlfriend” came out at all; she never commented, never bended to send “sources” spilling beans on Adam or their story… she kept it still RESPECTFUL and VERY private, no matter what.
Considering sadly Ali The Criminal Agent still has a part in Behati’s professional life (I hope she follows Adam’s will there and cut all ties with him immediately now, because that man is filth and dangerous and never a thing coming from him could be good for Adam, EVER), I was amazed at that lack of bad mouthing press about Adam a lot.
Now I know Bee probably was there to BLOCK all of that by herself, having clear in mind that she wanted Adam back and feeling she was actually able through her powerful real love to get him back.
Unlike some other people, Behati not only has never used Adam to rise her profile, but has always carefully avoided to mix private with work as much as she could.
She could have milked it SO MUCH! But she NEVER EVER DID.
She has success on her own.
She is a TRUE VS Angel since 2009, and her achievement now have nothing to do with Adam at all (her perfume Victoria was created and she was made the face of it when Adam was out of the picture, so whoever now claims she got that campaign because of Adam is as usual a delusional stupid whiner who has no brain to offer to the world); I will talk about this probably also later on tho.
Behati is a very strong woman.
It’s laughable that people could downplay her for so long while she is an Iron lady indeed, even when bleeding love.
She basically kept being awesome in my book, in that hurting me even a bit more she didn’t work out with Adam because I was keeping thinking she was PERFECT or him.
So I was basically trying to not look at her too much and avoid to see the bleeding.
But THE OTHER thing that immediately stuck out in my book after the (untold) split was that EVERY SINGLE ONE of ADAM’s FRIENDS and FAMILY and ENTOURAGE was keeping interacting with Behati DAILY, and always with a full display of great love towards her.
My instagram feed was a constant reminder of Behati: each picture she posted, she would get Jesse, James, Travis, Sam, Steph, Milo, Lucy, Savannah and everyone else ALWAYS be there for her; Vincent and Mickey had all love possible for her; she even ENLARGED her relationship with the longtime crew of the guys, and I was thinking “Wow, they do love her for HERSELF, not just because she was with Adam!”.
It really made me amazed.
I was just thinking since all of these people had fallen in love with her that they were there for her to keep her strong in times of need; friends can survive a relationship after all (and many of the pictures I had saved those days on Bee were actually called “Friendship Lasts Forever…”).
I found it amazing and deserved that such a special human being as Behati was able to get so much love; at the same time, I was wishing the love she wanted more than any other could have kept her by his side too… but I thought they were not even speaking, and that Adam was on the prowl finding his next partner while Behati was trying to survive her broken heart.
You may think Adam was cruel bedding people immediately after the break up but I don’t know why you’d think so: Adam has always been EXTREMELY sexual; that is his way to deal with things: his broken heart heals with sex and new beautiful faces around him.
Behati and Adam’s adored cousin, in times of their break-up.
He needs sex and for him love is found through it, not in spite of it.
I never thought she would last, essentially because the way People Magazine official statement was picturing their relationship was as “extremely casual” and since people writes only what reps approve, it was clear Adam for sure wasn’t being serious with her.
Well, with a body like that it’s not hard to guess Nina will never be alone for long in her life ;). I am sure she will soon find many other boyfriends taking care of her.
Not only Nina was beautiful, super sexy, she seemed also okay with being private (essential, in Adam’s world after he got to taste what a fame mongering “girlfriend” could make him suffer a couple of years ago…) so I thought we would have kept her as “next Miss Levine” until at least the end of the Summer Tour, basically (he gets restless on tour and he really hates the routine of it so a companion on tour was requested and Nina seemed a perfect fit being young and spontaneous and probably ready to enjoy the novelty of touring life).
No need to explain why THIS was a perfect rebound for Adam. Don’t act like it’s a scandal he took Nina for rebounding: he has acted sexually his whole life. It’s not like he presented himself to Nina as something she didn’t know he was and she AGREED wholeheartedly to anything Adam proposed her to be. STRAIGHT after he did. And she was right: why should have she refused the chance of being Miss Levine for a while?
But out there, Behati was keeping sending messages throught Instagram that were CLEARLY Adam related (I knew them, as I said, through the mentions and likes of Adam’s peeps on my Instagram’s feed, and curiosity often had me open their links, though I was not even thinking about saving those things because I was COMPLETELY sure Adam and Behati could be no more).
She was sending images of sharks (Adam’s nickname) and mermaids eaten up, she was sending sentences she did when they were together; and while Adam’s people always were there for Bee, NONE were for Nina, no matter how she tried to fit in with the tightest of Adam’s people (and you know his crew means EVERYTHING to him: they are like a bro’s gang and he has the same entourage since he was a teenager: if you have to stay with him, you have to be with those too and if they ostracize you, there won’t be any happy future I guess; and most definitely if they don’t like you for being with him, it’s clear that they have reasons behind the dislike. In this case they disliked Nina because they knew Behati was Adam’s true love. Adam’s friends and family acted in a protective manner because they wanted to save Adam’s future and happiness. Hopefully Nina won’t hold grudges because there wouldn’t be point in that. No one can stand in the way of TRUE love).
Behati’s Instagram feed was always a deep insight on her life… now it’s clear how many of those were messages to Adam probably. If Adam has an Instagram, is because of Behati, among notes…
In all this, I had NO idea (I probably wasn’t ready to think about it to not hope about it, since my fondness of Behati) Adam and Behati kept calling one another every now and again (not in a sneaky way, I guess just because it’s hard to let a GREAT love go away and no matter how retarded and delusional people always claimed Adam was not in love with Behati, he was indeed and very much if he couldn’t cut the ties with her, not even when trying very hard to).
Then it must have meant that Adam TRULY was into Bee.
It’s so funny recalling how many delusional and clearly not very brained people kept claimed for months (some even STILL) that Adam never really even LIKED Behati, just because there were no paid-for photo ops or paps call-ups to monitor them like it had happened in some previous relationship (which were all but fine, as many songs Adam has written clearly tell)…
It’s funny to recall that, because only retarded people can think true love is the one given out to the paps and tabloids to be portrayed onto, with studied smiles and studied looks of (fake) longing, while a kind of relationship which develops in full privacy and is indeed protected and treasured with the only people that counts (family and real close friends) shall instead be named as “rebound” or “not real” or even worse, “a way to get famous”, when in fact the people involved in this so-dubbed “not important” links were already famous on their own in USA out of their OWN work for the most known lingerie company in the world…
But I am digressing, again.
Adam simply couldn’t let true love go away. This perfect angel of love was made to make him finally happy. Thank you Behati, for making him happy for real.
So I was telling that Adam clearly was still HUGE about Bee; at the same time, Adam had been into many people… and “being into” never transitioned fully in anything more than mutual passion, and mutual pain after passion couldn’t grow into another step, which all of his leading ladies kept wishing for themselves after a while, and this is easy to understand (who wouldn’t want to become the wife of a wonderfully rich, handsome, truly successful son of Hollywood who was evenn born rich, so that his whole life was pampered actually? Anyone would die for being Missus Levine and this was even before he got to the peaks of his fame and power, even before he become what he is now, namely a household name).
But see?
When you are THE ONE… anything can happen.
Things thought impossible to be… well they can HAPPEN indeed.
I find it extraordinary that after Adam brought Nina to Los Cabos (at HIS house, he has bought a 6 Millions property there) he realized, just where he had seen new years coming in January 2013 with Behati and where he had passed his birthday with only his friends, deciding he and her had to break up), he realized once more his heart was missing Prinsloo like it never missed another living soul before…
Adam Levine bought in private equity a property at El Dorado in Los Cabos after vacationing there for New years’ Eve also with Behati. Guess bringing Nina there made him realize he needed Behati more than anything else in fact…
I can easily imagine Adam talking with his family and friends trying to figure out what to do…
I can see the efforts on his crew’s part to send him straight to Palm Beach (where Behati was vacationing with Ali Tamposi and friends for the 4th July week) and try to make him finally realize he couldn’t let her go…
Because all of Adam’s closest people ALWAYS knew Behati was the one for him: all of those loving him for real, and there for him from the start… ALL of them just ADORE and have always adored Behati.
Not a bad way to use some of your well-earned new cash, Mr. Levine…
Imagine this.
Imagine this moment, and what it had to mean.
Try to.
Imagine a person convinced that “nothing lasts” and that if it exists something that “never changes” that is actually the ill fate of ANY relationship, well imagine this person then trying once more the recipe which has always worked for making him move on from one girl to another, healing his suffering heart (because Adam knows a lot about love pain… be sure and if you’re not again just listen his songs), and imagine him picking up girls and pick one GORGEOUS young thing and of course sexing her up as usual and try to have good moments in her company…
But then this person starts to see that this time, with this particular girl he has letting go away, regretting it, missing her, this recipe of sexy substitutes at his side able to make him move on from heartache… it simply doesn’t work AT ALL.
Imagine him telling this girl he cannot forget and cannot substitute at all: “let’s meet”, and remember that this kind of meeting have happened also with previous ex girlfriends, but never caused trouble or shocks (sometimes they caused a brief reunion, like with Becky Ginos or Paris Hilton, but that’s not the point) so huge to make him RE-EVALUATE his entire life over them…
This extraordinary girl has made THE miracle of making Adam accepting LOVE.
Imagine instead that this time, when he truly cannot shake Behati out of his head no matter even NINA Agdal is there trying to everything she can to make him fall for her and then imagine the feeling at the meeting…
HIS feelings.
Imagine the Earthqwake in him, seeing Behati and being “flooded by emotions” in such unmistakeable way that HE KNEW, he realized and moreover ACCEPTED she was THE ONE.
I guess in that week around July 4th, where Bee was with Ali and friends and Adam had to see her to UNDERSTAND, finally, that his heart had found a home.
Can you imagine?
I can.
He saw her and the wildest emotion got him fully.
He saw her again and finally HE KNEW.
He knew she had been all along his soul-mate, and that he had to stop fuckin up because there is just one soul-mate who can make you feel in such a way; there is just one person who can turn a man-whore not believing in marriage, not trusting everlasting love, suddenly feel like instead all of those things DO have sense… like those are the steps he finally sees himself ready and committed to make because he cannot imagine to live again his life away from the source of his joy and love.
Imagine the beauty of such a stunning awareness.
I can… because I lived something very similar with Karim: I can assure you it’s the most powerful thing EVER.
Look… in his life Adam has LIVED for wild emotions: he knows them all.
He knew them all or so he thought he did.
While instead he had yet to taste THE TRUE emotion.
The one that only true love brings.
People have blabbed that he was too fast in proposing.
What?
He is a 34 years old whom has lived two decades of loves of all type; he knows well what he felt.
He felt something he NEVER did and I dare to conjecture, something he didn’t even think he COULD feel.
That reveal made him finally get the person able to do that to him… that person, that Angel always there for him… was and IS THE ONE.
Behati was there fighting for him and their love even when he was sex romping sexy vixens like Nina: she got and understood the only way true love works is by not wanting to change people forcedly, but giving them time to UNDERSTAND what is best for them in freedom, so that they can come back AWARE, and not misguided.
This is what Behati did: it took the utmost courage and the utmost TRUE Love to allow this. She is extraordinary.
Behati did the only thing that had to be done: she set Adam free, at high cost for her heart, and sure she had too suffer but ALL along she had faith in him and their love.
She had faith he would understand and would have come back.
She trusted their love the ultimate way and through that, she trusted ADAM.
This is PURE love.
She does love him immensely and the power of her love, that was what Adam couldn’t replace because he has NEVER been loved so completely by no one which weren’t his family.
Behati liked this picture of her friend the other day, after the engagement news came out: it’s clear what it means. And she deserves ALL of the joy and love she has finally conquered forever.
I cringe still for all the hate this amazing, extraordinary girl is receiving.
I know she doesn’t care because all that she cares about is ADAM… Adam THE PERSON, not the star.
She is in love with him for who he truly is, up and downs, pros and cons…
This acceptance makes her the perfect wife, the perfect life companion for him…
It makes her the perfect mother for their incoming kids (I can’t wait for that… they will be splendid parents, and their kids are going to be stunning with the most perfect faces and cheekbones EVER, with cat eyes colored hazel and with a massive skill at arts).
So to answer the previous self induced doubt (that I never had)…
Adam Levine KNOWS what he wants. If hr has chosen to marry, it is because he knows Behati is THE ONE.
Adam has not rushed a thing.
Nobody better than him has valued marriage and its sanctity and its difficulty and its SERIOUSNESS.
He wouldn’t have chosen to marry, unless he KNEW he would do that to his soulmate.
I feel tingling and happy and (I know it’s stupid because it has no link to my life) tears form in my eyes trying to figure out the shock and the mesmerizing happiness ruling Adam in that moment when he KNEW he was facing his soulmate, his source of love, Behati, and all fears and all doubts and the scare he always had about the “happy ever after” stuff simply VANISHED from his horizon, burnt out by the power of REAL love.
That sentence she used twice, ” I can’t promise to solve all your troubles, but I can promise you won’t have to face them alone”… finally RANG TRUE to Adam… a person who always told feared to be alone most, but a person who has always been too true to himself to fake commitments when he didn’t feel he was ready for it, when he didn’t feel he was with the person deserving such a step from him.
His concept of loneliness never meant “alone” as a just physical or practical state, as he could just snap fingers and he would be surrounded by adoring people, it mostly meant “alone” inner-ly, namely before Behati he was always unable to trust another living soul to the point of opening himself fully to them, and setting his soul free to be looked, taken, and protected.
Behati is the angel that made Adam surrender to TRUE love.
She has been so incredible.
Always believing her love, and her lover, and that they were meant to be.
She knew this from the start and that is a miracle, especially in a world as fake as the one of Entertainment industry.
But she never has used Adam: and never will.
This couple makes me just so happy.
It makes me so happy and I cannot wait for the forms this amazing fact will translate into new music.
Because MUSIC is what will come out of this perfection and I do expect something Maroon 5 have never reached before.
We will finally have the happiest songs.
The “forever together” type of songs.
The man who sings only about love, will finally pour his heart into true love songs, and no heartbreaks only anymore.
I literally drool about it and I am so happy also because – quite obviously – Behati and Adam are BOTH completely MUSICAL souls.
This musical soul has found her perfect match. So gorgeous babies they are gonna have!
One of the thing I have ALWAYS loved the most about Behati is that she talks with and through music and their lyrics, because it’s something I also have always done and which makes my little homages to them a tad more difficult, because in a way I have to not dishonor her amazing taste (their amazing taste).
What can I say?
I am enchanted Behati and Adam will marry and have perfect kids, perfect because LOVE will make them and their parents are two shining souls, on the path of true love, people who have always searched for TRUE love, and never got tricked by fake one, even though they may have suffered for fake ones.
Now sorry for this long thing… after I explained this I can get back to March and trace what has happened in M5 world, but so you get what lied beneath it all.
LOVE.
Let’s go back to March now, and get ready to a TON of videos.
What Maroon 5 is now is definitely one of the most successful patterns in pop history.
It’s not my word… it’s BILLBOARD’s and the way tracking which ones have been the most successful music acts EVER, Maroon 5 has now a place in those kinds of professional lists (I am not talking fans’ lists, I am talking professional Billboard receipts).
It makes me very proud because I have been a fan since their starts so (being the self-absorbed woman I am) it is a point of pride, as I said, seeing that my taste got validated by HISTORY.
FACTS validate opinions… nothing else (and this will value also later on, when we will get back talking Behati and Adam’s road to happiness, in which true love clearly won and fake loves got simply erased by gracious Father Time ;)).
Behati and Mickey at Coachella in April 2013. She is adored by the whole band. FACT.
I think one day they will stop working; but when it will happen there won’t be drama: they will just retire because their time will be complete.
One thing I know for sure: the band members will always be brothers; and as nowadays the usual stupid people are already here claiming Behati will break the band… well be assured she won’t because THE BAND wanted her to be back with Adam and know why?
Because she makes the one who creates the songs in the band (mainly) happy to exist, and therefore she makes also “the band” somehow.
Behati hung out with all of the band (except Adam) and Jesse for the whole two weeks of Coachella.
So please stop fronting and realize Behati and Maroon 5 are as close as it is possible to get. Thank you ;).
And then applaud along me this very smart business man.
Adam Levine covers The Hollywood Reporter March 2013
Adam is part of an entrepreneurial Family and his grandfather has been a HW tv producer; he has into his veins blood of smart and talented people; no matter the way he seems always so up-in-the-sky… he knows well what he wanted to achieve in life and now what he got exceeded all of his best expectations (and they weren’t small, those he had).
Still, in times like these, what he managed to achieve, without hiring ordals of PR following his life daily, still so remarkable.
yes, because he got all of this maintaining a very private personal life.
Which he will keep doing, because he hates people who sell their privacy to become somebody in the world of “famous”.
There will be a time when Adam will step behind scenes.
He has hinted at this multiple times, and he will do that and I feel it won’t take that many years to it actually (and yes, by then Maroon 5 will be no more, but again, a pop band won’t be likely to become as long-lived as a rock band, it simply isn’t possible in pop field to stretch a career that long).
The Fuckery at least has had a good effect: he made Adam the mogul he was always destined to be.
Now with all this money, he can plan the phase two of his life, and people shall just accept that he doesn’t like to sell his life to the media and they should stop harassing him for being so tightly private.
I actually admire and like him more for this because you can’t be happy if your life is too public: the public still a stranger and you don’t owe the “public” anything else but your honest work, your artistic output, which has to be the most sincere you can offer to them, sure; but beside that, no public person shall be requested to make their “private” days open for strangers to see.
Private life shall be COMPLETELY private: nobody buys the right to witness into your family, even if they have bought hundreds tickets for a concert or all of the music you have ever released (which is my case actually).
What a fan and the public obtain is ART and its consumption; in no way being a fan or a very dedicated supporter of some public figure gives anybody the right to obtain a pass to the life behind the scenes of any artist.
Who believes any artist or public figure owe the public anything they are are stupid and delusional.
And probably not even into the art of the artist at all, actually.
So Adam not only has become increasingly powerful and increasingly rich as of late; he has also become increasingly kept up and reserved and I LOVE THIS to no end.
That’s why I like his long interviews where his entourage gets to speak (like in this one): you get well which kind of loyal and rooted person he is, through others’ words and never his (a sign of goodness, real goodness to me).
These sort of “family and near people” portraits are of course completely conflicting with the many fantasists stories about who Adam Levine is, which are mostly a giant bunch of crap.
Yes, Adam Levine has been a womanizer and his Hollywood parties are legendary and a TON of fun… but beside that Adam is just a very normal, very focused, very artistic and determined guy who has always been having a plan for his life, and who has successfully implemented that while never forgetting about family and close friends.
This is the description of a good person.
Somebody those who are part of his circle are treasuring like the diamond he is.
Now that he has found true love, I am happy to see this privacy hasn’t changed a bit; and I don’t expect Adam and Behati to become more public at all with their love (her interview on ABC after the engagement states OPENLY this, in fact).
But back to the chronicle (again: you will see this “back to” formula a lot in this post, forgive me but I am writing everything in rush and as I said… this was vastly un-planned as post ;)).
The amazing Frankie was a precious creature in M5’s life: farewell to a wonderful and lovingly friend!
Yes, the adored Golden Retriever, star of Goodnight Goodnight video; the only lady who really ruled Adam’s (then) house by then… died after a few weeks of incurable disease, and she did while Adam was away, none the less.
She was posting revealing pictures on Instagram with her face pensive, and clearly something was broken in her life (we would later understand her and Adam were starting to break up, so to spend time with her friends and Candice and be around people who loved her from ages ago; but even her posted under Savannah’s pictures and Milo’s honoring Frankie her condolences.
But sure she was acting not being her usual super sparkly, super happy and super blessing self.
Behati’s recipe for making her head clear (and re-gain the focus in her actions, eventually) was of course the smartest way.
Work.
Work.
Work.
Without any whine, she kept rolling while the love of her life also was keeping rolling amidst the usual super, super crowded schedule.
She gathered herself together, held her head up but never ever, I keep stating this because it si so incredible and so deserving praise, never even once she sold Adam or their love to gain anyone’s pity or more fame.
This is what Behati was doing in St. Barths: appreciate how she keeps being adorable even in days where her heart is shadowed.
Pretty revealing Instagram actions back then…
She spent time working and then talking with her own people; probably finding in herself forces she knew she had, but that not many people have the strength to find or push in hard times.
She is a wonderful model, super professional, and whoever trashes her clearly has no clues at all.
She is also a wonderful human being.
Behati seeking heart therapy with her BFF Candice Swanepoel while shooting for VS in St. Barths, March 2013
Not being a fame whore or a person loving getting fully naked for fame doesn’t mean she isn’t wonderful in what she does.
Otherwise she wouldn’t have the most sought-after modeling contract in the world (yes, only her is a TRUE ANGEL) since 2009 (way before any involvement in the upper dating world, right?):
More from St. Barths days:
Behati in 2011/2012 made 2 millions dollars by herself.
Not through any other but herself.
Strong confident and independent women evidently bother weak, low-life and dependent ones allegedly. 😉
From the videos of St. Barths it is clear Behati was not her usual self there, anyway.
If you make a comparison with THESE behind the scenes from Miami taken in January when she and Adam were still together you see a different glow in her, don’t you?:
I remember she was very happy in tweeting when she was shooting these; it was due to this shooting she actually missed the Grammy Awards in LA, but then they were still a couple:
Also in those February day when they were together still Behati was shooting with might Bruce Weber, for a feature which would later appear in May 2013 Glamour Issue, and which I post here because she was GORGEOUS and still with light in her eyes then:
Behati for Bruce Weber in Glamour Magazine May 2013 – shot on February in Miami
They were not those March days instead; and while her work was keeping Behati in check continuously, Adam in between her tour schedule and his incoming birthday plans (and The Fuckery soon coming première after it) was also trying to shake thoughts behind him.
So Adam and Maroon 5 were in between huge gigs in So Cal and Las Vegas and a super birthday vacation was scheduled for incoming 34 birthday boy in Los Cabos, at El Dorado Golf Resort and Beach Club where, as I said, Adam has actually bought in private equity form a HUGE wonderful new dig for himself, too.
And while he was dong all that… and while his birthday was coming, and they would not pass it together of course because they were in the middle of a break up which was tearing BOTH away…
And THOSE lyrics… they DO make a lot of sense in those times, in their story, as well:
The detachment from the time when things happen and the way media then work them always amaze me; for instance, it was peculiar always in March how pictures Behati shot when coupled would come out when she was on a break-up phase.
People often don’t take into consideration that photo shots, advertising campaigns, and all these type of things are planned WEEKS in advance; so it was untimely but someway also very fitting that THIS Rihanna song would be part of a VS campaign, and that for instance what Behati shot for GQ when with Adam still would be published when they were no more, making it all even more awkward, and someway certainly painful for her and him:
Behati for GQ March 2013 with Nikolaji Coster-Waldau
He treasures private life; he doesn’t think he owes anything more than his work to his “fans” and moreover he is a very reserved person: when he wasn’t for a while, it was because he was tricked by some fame-seeking link to forcefully display his behind-the-curtains days; but the fact he allowed it never meant he liked it. He did because by then he was blinded by someone truly fake, and fell for those requests (with heartache following, and a HUGE lesson learned, as well).
He also cannot stand cyber bullying or the lies media can spread; he really despises it all and wholeheartedly.
So he put this out, and with this all of the people asking why he is not so social-media active right now may have their (FINAL and conclusive) answer:
Adam Levine won’t be a media puppet showin his life to gain “public”. LIVE WITH IT. It won’t ever happen anymore
I guess he couldn’t have been any more clear about the matter.
And I support this vision 200%.
Adam will never sell his person to the media: only his art.
So right before his birthday Maroon 5 played Las Vegas… Jimmy V fell off stage (lol) and as soon as the concert ended, Adam along Sam, Noah, Jason Fields, and Shawn flew off towards Los Cabos’ residency, while other band members remained in California (and everywhere else) wishing him good from afar.
Adam by now is an avid golfer, by the way; think that as soon as the guys returned from the very brief Los Cabos trip, as Maroon 5 had to keep on touring, he and Sam played straight at Vaquero golf club, too.
I FINALLY found the Episodes of his victorious stint with Tiger Woods’ coach Hank Haney on Golf Channel (watch it all on NAWWAL Page 5) which he filmed in the first 3 months of 2012 and he is by now truly into the game: he doesn’t miss a chance to play it and he has also a membership at Los Caballeros CC (the one where he did film along Haney during the show runs) ; but what he needed away from all eyes was time with his long-life friends to decode his life, once again (it did happen in 2012 too).
What he did come out with was another break-up he thought he was ready to handle the usual way he had done all his life.
“Heal yourself with new likes, until pain disappears completely and you move on”.
But this time wouldn’t have worked… because True Love is different and cannot be replaced or forgotten: it can only be claimed back, as we have seen did happen with Bee :).
Talking about work to erase pain though, Adam wasn’t only doing it as well, as much as Behati: he was adding to singer/songwriter/performer + tv personality/perfumer/clothing designer also a further layer on his portfolio, as his record label 222 (created solely for supporting Rozzi Crane actually) was ready to promote MORE people, such as Glee’s staple Matthew Morrison.
It’s actually a cute way to keep helping singers (and actually to me, way more efficacious than stay on the awful karaoke show… but that’s my opinion, and I know not many agree there – not that I care).
Around the same time, a new family “member” was added, as for his birthday Adam received another puppy, a male labradoodle he called Bones (in honor of Hart Hanson) to fill the immense void Frankie left at home:
Bones as a puppy
Some very surprising pictures of Bones surfaced a few weeks later, with BEHATI holding him…
At first I was like “hmmm?” because it was clear Adam was involved with somebody else at the time, although I had no idea yet who that “somebody else” was, as he kept it all very private, but words were exchanged he had a pretty new young thing by his side already (obviously: I think he never spent a day alone in bed after all).
Bones in March and April… with Behati, as well.
But I was so convinced that it meant NOTHING in the world of the former A&B couple that I didn’t even took much notice of it: I assumed she was just hangin around her friends and Adam’s family (she was with Molly and Ali and James while shooting for Jalouse and for What Women Wear feature in April before and after Coachella times and also in May, when she came for the “What Is Sexy” VS promotional work) and just kind of avoided further inquiry, assured that there were no chances for them after Adam had decided to cut it out the relationship.
JUST TO CLARIFY: I post here an episode of THE FUCKERY only because I have seen it; no way I change my idea on how dreadful for music these type of shows are (Go, Foo Fighters & Dave! you are RIGHT!) so if you want to see those episodes, again the only way are the NAWWAL pages because I wouldn’t still touch or watch such trash EVER.
No matter if practically all my friends adore the show.
Golf someway had keeping him in check all time: for instance on Easter 2013 he went to Sawdust CC to relax and have his private time… though being him Adam Levine, it seems that “private time” can’t ever really happen (he will work on that even more from now on, just wait and see):
Adam golfing at Sawdust on Easter 2013 meets some fans and takes pics with them
I find it adorable that Adam believes in her talent so much he actually created 222 for her, risking his money for somebody who has talent so faithfully.
By then again I guessed: “wow, they DO love her” but also “How awkward and straining must be for her get back there Adam-less, since it was there they started to be a couple in 2012?”
this was titled “Friendship lasts forever”… 😉 But so does true love fortunately! Ali and Bee at Coachella 2013
But I had faith Bee knew what she was doing: she also seemed happy and very delighted to be with all the crew, and it’s clear there’s a lot of love going on along among all those people.
And nothing like friendly love can heal a broken heart (hence my then “Friendship lasts forever” titles for all the pictures out of that pack of days).
Again, I wasn’t really paying much attention to their separate ways by then: I was just happy Behati had the FULL support of EVERYONE in Adam’s camp; I was happy to see her so tight with Jesse and James; so happy to see all of the crew giving her precious care and attention.
I was hoping she could quickly survive the heartbreak Adam was leaving behind him (as usual).
I still pointing out how this is incredible for a band which is on the map since early 2000 and which makes POP.
May was coming after; and a thing that never goes much noticed (because all of these are PRIVATE event put up by VERY RICH, VERY PRIVATE people, is that practically at every given space of time in the past 16 months Maroon 5 have performed a MEGA number of events that normal media couldn’t tag.
There at Jazz festival they hung out with super friend Savannah Buffett (the daughter of legendary folk icon Jimmy Buffett, if anyone wonders who she is still):
They truly have no clue how great musicians these guys are: if Adam weren’t gorgeous people would take them more seriously, but it ain’t Adam’s fault if he’s a stud and knows it.
Art still art, whoever face is the one promoting it.
Behati in the main time was keeping on working, and working hard, trying to fill her days without thinking too much about Adam’s days (and still receiving every single time she did anything tons of support, say, EXACTLY from Savannah…):
She is gorgeous by the way… (for Free People):
Do you think by the time their break-up was kinda under everyone’s eyes poor Behati stopped being harassed online on her accounts by stupid people?
No way: she kept being daily offended by tons of “fans”.
I think not only people online are low-minded, but also that there are way too many stalkers and the BEST thing anyone famous could (and must actually) do is building a fence as high as possible to preserve themselves from those dangerous freaks.
Those people are sick: they spread lies, they are vicious and scary… and I guess Adam was more than fed up with all that (by then, some of those freaks were claiming he was getting pregnant some phantomatic – not real of course – partner which was varying from being a tv PR, a starlet, an actress, a singer, a cheerleader, and who knows what else. Clearly Adam thinks all of this is insane and got disgusted by everyone online, and I think he won’t ever get back being seriously active with people, because he now just thinks the majority following him are plain crazy, and I think he’s right):
Say farewell to socially active Adam and BLAME YOURSELVES, people. You can’t expect him to like a crazy world. And he’s right not to.
Adam actually flew away from the location swiftly after the performance and he did because Nina was waiting for him actually.
The day after he had to celebrate his mum so I guess he had short time to enjoy the sex in between the two things 😉 (sorry, I had to…)
Yes, because on May there were also the celebrations of Mother’s Day to make him happy again and you know how much Adam is tight with his mum, how much he treasures her and her guidance.
In memory of this I finally found out an Insider Interview which was actually from 2012 where the two interact and they are just ADORABLE.
Patsy rocks, quite frankly: I can totally see the similarities with her brother, writer Timothy Noah (Adam’s roots of Democrats Belief).
Adam spent time on May 12 at Beverly Hills Polo Lounge with the family, starting to enjoy the super beardy & messy hairy look nowadays he’s mastering (and I like his Lumberjack version… I am pretty sure he’s sporting it now to remind of his Can a Song Save Your Life role, and it won’t probably cut it until the movie isn’t out, so we will see beardy Adam until the majority of September. Behati seems to love him bearded up, so no trouble there).
Adam and Useless One on Mother’s Day 2013 at polo Lounge
Now I know people are pissed that they don’t do meet and greets anymore but these kind of crossing tours request lots of sponsors and the meet and greets are given only through sponsors because they are those paying for the tour after all.
In these days and in this economic situation bands have to partner with sponsors to being able to consistently tour and make it all profitable.
It’s just not a choice but an oblige to re-asses some dynamics cutting the risks of financial overexposure.
Smart fans shall understand: too bad often Maroon 5 fans are all but that bright, and couldn’t see truths not even pointing them at those with a flashy road of yellow bricks.
Anyway…
Adam didn’t bring Nina, but his mum at the BMI Pop Awards, and when in a little we read the way People Magazine worded her “status” when it became known, we have no trouble understanding why: she simply didn’t ever belong to his “family circle”.
There was a giant elephant in that room instead, and that elephant had the perfect cheekbones and amazing lengthy features of Miss Behati, who was on the other side of the map wearing proudly her love scars, without any will to give up on her happiness.
James and Ali were also there at the Gala celebration because Ali too got some awards: but none was comparable to what Adam got of course.
But I have already talked about that so I won’t be getting in at it again.
On May 17th Adam was on Jimmy Kimmel Live:
Let’s notice another small thing instead, such as also this moving towards Las Vegas made again Behati and Adam’s roads diverge (which was appropriate, seeing the fact Nina was starting to appear by his side.
May 21st What is sexy VS in LA
Basically, Behati had to attend a VS Event in Los Angeles… and Adam did his best to avoid her the pain to catch him (but did they communicate with one another? we can only guess: the very tight-lipped lovers won’t probably ever answer this question).
I was again a bit surprised she didn’t even address it a tiny bit (still admiring her for it).
I thought that was their mutual deal, to never speak publicly about what they had and how it ended, much like they never actually spoke at all about it when they were a couple.
Behati working on the streets of New York
Still, it pained me to see Behati shadowed by the occurrence; but again she spent some days in LA and had her birthday there (with lovely Hello Kitty cake… you know I am a Kitty lover so you can imagine again how connected I felt with her, and how I felt the sufferance of seeing her away from the one she was clearly still loving) with Ali and James and Molly and I was confident she was on the road to recovery still, helped by friends on the double sides of USA.
This is what Behati posted on Instagram around teh time Adam and Nina got somehow “official”… Look well the posts. She rocks love.
Friends are always a big part in all these situations: but friends also know what is mattering in their friends’ lives so it doesn’t surprise me Adam’s people were all up for Behati to be strong and keep going, hoping Adam would be finally make a couple of realizations about his life in the process.
In the awaiting time, she kept working her (amazingly beautiful) ass off, solidifying her state of Angel, growing up and getting every day sexier as this behind the scenes movie testifies:
By the third week of May, finally the Love Somebody video came out.
You know I completely hated the third single choice out from Overexposed: it totally killed the momentum of hits from the band (though as I wrote they managed to get another top ten BBHot 100 hit with it, impressively) and to pick up another slower (in Summer, then, to make it worse!) song wasn’t at all a convenient choice in my book (even though Love Somebody is a superior song to Daylight).
But then I saw the video, and the song gained 100000000 points with me.
Another weekend was coming (the only space of time when Adam, occupied with The Fuckery That Awful Karaoke Show could perform out of his duties there) and another private Event was in line for Maroon 5, the Citrix Sinergy one at Anaheim in California.
But still the way the whole article was worded up in People made me clearly aware (as I wrote at the start of this chronicle) that Adam was in it just for fun.
Even more out of these excerpts from the article:
Again, have in mind that this is what Adam was aware would be published…
Now if Nina ever thought they had a future together, she is playing the naive card, because for sure they weren’t going to.
But I guess she rightly took her chance up to get a notch up towards fame while enjoying as well some good sex in beautiful places, and I absolutely applaud her for it.
She didn’t do anything wrong, as long as she doesn’t play now the “pity me poor tricked me” card.
Because that card ain’t no reason to exist, given these sentences in this People article…
Yeah… I guess marriage wasn’t in the plans at all from the start between Adam and Nina, right? 😉
But of course also that later would give Levine’s haters a reason to attack him, even though he never addressed relationship with Agdal or even if he never reckoned her at all, and the only images we would get of the two together would be stolen ones from Los Cabos where they actually don’t even kiss (not that I have doubts they had a lot of sex, but it was never like Adam acknowledged her at all, so why get surprised if he ditched her quickly once he realized he truly loved Behati?).
Not that Nina wasn’t worthy…
She is extremely beautiful and out from the little time I have followed her on social media she seems lively and cute and much loveable.
It’s not that she isn’t a great girl… it’s just that she was never meant to mean a thing in Adam’s world from the start.
If you don’t get why Adam thought she could make him forget anybody tho (which I am sure at some point he hoped she could afford to for him), well, take a look here:
Adam SURE tried to make his mind and heart go away from Bee… but if even somebody like Nina couldn’t make him do it, again, that means he was always being in love, true love, with Bee.
Of course, like it always happens with media which cannot do their work properly, suddenly also Nina became a “VS” model, even if the only thing she ever did for them was a couple of shots for Pink (even a little video with… guess who? BEHATI! How small this world can be ;)!):
No way.
Behati is the only TRUE VS model Adam has ever dated, and the ONLY ANGEL: Angela Bellotte, Anne V and Nina Agdal NEVER were under any kind of VS contract.
They are NOT VS Secret models at all, and no way none of them three ever were “Angels”.
The horror is that some famewhoring PR and Agents keep calling unworthy people “Angel” or “VS models” when all they did were a couple of catalog poses and a couple of walks in the show which got highlighted ONLY because of a date which was considered worthy.
Way to keep milking people on the road to fame, folks!
The only VS Angel and real VS model Adam ever got is ONLY Behati.
As the news of Nina surfaced, Behati saw her June number of Jalouse come out… Molly commented her pictures straight, with love
FULL STOP.
Nina works for Aerie as well, which is VS main competitor on USA soil, so there’s no way she will ever get cast in other VS work until that link doesn’t cease, for sure.
But I hope (still) she gets her SI cover because she’s got a killer body and a very brilliant personality, a cute laugh and she’s young and fresh and she deserves success, and she’s perfect for SI; she’s curvy and has natural beautiful breasts and she has that very sexy, feisty quality males in locker room dig, and young girls appreciate because it’s a beauty type they can approach more easily than a long legged mannequin who wears lingerie like it’s high fashion.
At first anyway the “Adam dates Nina now” news (which anyway made Nina’s fame skyrocket straight in all media mentions ALL OVER THE WORLD, you just need to check Google’s and Yahoo’s stats to get aware of it) was still overshadowed by the “I Hate This Country” “scandal” on The Fuckery .
Not all of them: the people who can seriously think a sentence like that was meant to signify what the words said.
But ehi, you can’t give a functioning brain to brainless, so be it.
At least one of the articles (and trust me every single media talked about this for AGES… which is insane!) monitoring the fact gave us insights on the MEANING OF THE VERY MISTERIOUS MAROON 5 NAME:
The media fuss was so huge Adam was forced to a stupid apology and I am sure over there he kept thinking the whole world of media and the whole of the way some public handles basic stuff is completely out of range and decency.
But at least we got a wonderful, wonderful CBS special(which is rerunning today If I am not mistaken, on CBS again):
For instance… he started to say FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME he wasn’t really “opposed” to marriage.
Now those bits make way more sense…
I wonder how much Adam and Behati were speaking those days; I wonder what was suggesting Adam to start getting less armed up about marriage… I basically wonder if his pain which couldn’t go away without Bee by his side was starting to make him aware there can be everlasting pairings, indeed.
Friends are forever also in New York: Behati walks with Shannan Click, BFF forever (she spent Memorial Day time with her and her Sage and her hubby in Montauk, while Adam was in Los Cabos with Nina.
Behati those days was seeing her friends in New York, she was working VS and just by May she was becoming the face of new Victoria’s Secret perfume, the bold and wonderful VICTORIA, which she would actually unveil in way happier days, weeks later.
She spent Memorial Day with working crews and she would also hang out with LA people, all of Adam entourage those days was then posting pictures out of Memorial Day 2012: the time when Behati’s and Adam’s relationship firstly got monitored, in Hawaii, at the wedding of Will Nash.
Happier Memorial Day: May 2012, Hawaii. Who knows if this will be also the place of bee & Adam marriage now? 😉
She would come spending time along Sam and Steph and little Vesper in Los Angeles; she would be taken care of by Ali and James and Milo: all when the media were up to pair Nina and Adam as much as possible and echoes of this new relationship were spread allover Europe, as well (Italy included).
Those messages Behati was keeping posting in Instagram though were her way to tell Adam she was still believing: and trust me, it takes a LOT to keep believing a man when he’s happily jumping in bed and everywhere else with someone like Nina Agdal.
It truly takes LOVE and Faith.
And that also makes a good marriage recipe, actually.
I love his purity: he’s SO different from media puppets, and so distant from POP puppets… he really can’t avoid to be himself, and PROUDLY so.
I hope he never changes there: I don’t think he can 🙂 so I am a happy camper there. His fierceness which sometimes turns so nerdy and stubborn pleases me SO much.
And Adam had also his own duties as a Jimmy Fallon guest:
.
Again Nina were nowhere to be seen there (while we do remember the year before Behati was all watching her beau at Rockfeller plaza, holding his sunglasses as all-in-white Maroon 5 were performing), and this had to be strange (not really) if they were starting to be “a thing” a little more serious than just a pair of “fuck buddies”.
This fact (that Adam is not really fit to cross “average-ness” because nothing about him is in medias res or average at all) will probably make his clothing line at Shop Your Way for Kohl difficult to be accepted, because from one side, he needs to make it “average” (given the retailer), but on the other side, this isn’t really what he can aim for, for his own nature.
I am therefore very curious to see how this all will turn out to be, quite frankly:
After the Voice ending and after the duties for the Today Show, Adam would fly with friends and with Nina in Los Cabosand by sheer effort (or people calling people?) they got papped even though El Dorado in Los Cabos is a PRIVATE place (and in fact those shots seem to be taken by afar, like a boat on the sea, away from the location):
Look how there are no real open signs of intertwining.
Behati took solace and comfort in the days of media going nuts over Adam and Nina with the refugee into Shannan Click’s family warmth.
She went to Montauk and spent time with baby Sage and let all of her soul pour over.
The most important Instagram posts those days Behati did were ALL about not so hidden (well, now they are not so hidden for sure) messages about TRUE LOVE; TRUE ACCEPTANCE; TRUTHS in general.
And some posts in particular (always remember Behati was being harassed by cyber freaks on all of those posts…) were more than clear:
Behati revealing Instagrams…
A little too much to not realize everybody loved her to pieces… and still she was missing the MAIN piece, but it wouldn’t be for much longer.
Faith in Love had to win, after all.
Just a small note: I have been told that around the middle of June Behati at some party in New York would have hooked up with Brain Games’ host Jason Silva.
May it have been?
Hardly.
Certainly he tried to whoo her, but Mr. Silva has a penchant for trying to connect with people in the showbiz with money connections so hopefully Bee was just gracious with him and let him on his place, untouched.
Jason Silva is honestly third-rate TV “personality” whose credits aren’t at all that impressive, and he tries to play the “smart card” when anyone who has actually spoken extendedly with him in HW will tell you is a big balloon of airhead, with a great sight on money and fame, forget art and “enlightenment”.
Sex anyway is good 😉 and a great de-stresser, too 😉
The Montauk time and the Instagram pics out of it tells me very well that Behati by then was still WAY into Adam; actually, the Instagram post she did on the day of the supposed meeting with Silva, namely THIS:
Behati clearly affceted and affectionate. Her love is incredible.
… it tells Behati was still in total love, but yet not safe, with Adam.
All these messages she posted (which I have started to properly decode only after the engagement news, because as I said at the start I wasn’t really following her that much anymore, feeling the pain in imagining her gone and realizing she was still hurting SINCERELY over Adam’s loss) deeply impress me.
I can’t really imagine the level of love Behati always had in herself; the confidence her love was MEANT to be, despite so many signs which were suggesting her she should have maybe given up.
I command her for truly FIGHTING for her love: because it’s her powerful will of loving Adam no matter what which has finally conquered his heart fully to her, letting his well built barrier fall down like houses of cards.
Because after Adam and Nina returned from Los Cabos, they went to Las Vegas on June 28, and the TRUTH began to sneak up inside Adam, eventually.
Nina had the SI Swimsuit Event to attend, and Adam brought there super pal Jonah Hill and a bit of their crew, to gamble and stay among men at Hard Rock Casino in Vegas.
Well, those couple more days there were THE LAST TIME Nina and Adam spent together boning having fun together.
By the very start of July, they were NO MORE, and actually never met anymore after it.
Adam had finally realized, after spending time with Nina, that in fact he couldn’t forget Behati (who was in South Beach with Ali and some friends, spending some days of vacation and flying there from New York post fashion shooting).
If you wonder what happened in the week Behati didn’t post a single thing on Instagram, here’s my guess: she spent 24/7 with Adam, “rekindling” their everlasting love.
She was DEFINITELY important, because without her Adam wouldn’t have had the evidence he couldn’t let Behati go away, or live without her; but still Nina was never anything more than a fancy sex companion for Adam.
In fact he may have been gracious telling her that: because as a public figure she would have been feeling even worse if some ass-seeking journalist would have approached her telling “ehi, look your former man: he left you to engage the one he was with before you… don’t you feel like a super loser?”
And maybe she DOES feel that bad and badly dumped, but Adam by telling her what he did was probably trying to make her feel actually better, as in : “look, I dumped you, but not because you are not amazing: I dumped you because I am so in love with someone else I am even ENGAGED – me, Adam Levine, the one who was claiming he would never marry – with that person. So don’t feel bad: because no one, no matter how amazing, could make me happy once I wasn’t with Behati anymore.”
What is true is that NOBODY expected Behati and Adam get back together and get back together to MARRY…
But while this may have been a surprise for strangers, it definitely was not for THEIR people.
People who are keeping being delighted but also very protective of them and their privacy.
Which is precious and fantastic and still the only way they shall act.
This love is pure and perfect and no one who’s a stranger (this one writer included) has the right to witness.
I just want to celebrate this because I feel it’s what all of Maroon 5 songs were calling up for a decade: pure love.
Which was finally found, and which hopefully will create the BEST MAROON 5 Album to date.
That is what I truly look forward to.
So let’s go towards the end of this HUGE post: I can already tell you there won’t be the mix I wanted to make with the chronicles here detailed mashed into videos with fitting songs: I simply couldn’t make it in so small time: I have a plane to catch in two hours and I simply can’t: I will maybe create some music homage as an unicum later (I have so many songs which would fit!), but again… i never promise anything over here.
Who knows when I will post again 😉 (I need my Summer time, ya’ll!) 😉
This is the Ryan interview…hear Bee’s giggling at the end:
I can’t really contain my love and joy for this. I can’t 🙂
I particularly loved these kind of natural reactions from people knowing him well: because the days before the proposal (the whole week leading to July 13) Adam was recording the Blind Auditions for Season 5 of The Fuckery, and ALL of his people could see his outpouring joy, in a way that seriously moves me deeply:
Love is Divine
And this is what Adam himself tweeted after the news spread… and I am sure you can reckon whom’s quoting here…
(AWWWW):
yes. It is and I have always known it.
Now people are starting again to question his feelings, his reasons…
Don’t expect them to become less private: they won’t.
They are real people treasuring their real lives: they don’t live a sham for the avid and nasty public.
After Songs about Jane we will finally have a HAPPY, DEEP, Real album about love again: Songs About BEHATI. It’s gonna be a masterpiece.
Their love is real and as a real thing will be secluded and protected by freaks.
I for one am happy with this and I hope they will NEVER recede from privacy this tight.
Nobody but their people has the right to be part of their lives, and if “fans” don’t get this, they are just immature crazies, and they don’t matter, they don’t matter THE LEAST.
… but they won’t ever ask or request for them to display their lives as it were a show… because if there’s one thing which is true about Adam and Behati is that they never treated their IMMENSE Love like a show.
She deserves all joy and success and what is best is that her professional achievements are coming for HER, and are not due at all to the fact she is NOW the future Missus Levine, namely, whatever happens, a Hollywood Royalty.
Angel of Love… Divine 🙂 Be happy always, sweet Bee 🙂 and thank you for coming and making my fav singer finally truly HAPPY 🙂
They are missing out.
Still, I pray and hope my fav band, my fav singer, my fav people whom I don’t have role in the life of (rightly so) will NEVER become anything different than what they are.
I love them like they are: true to their art, even tho they never call it art, true to their people, never selling their lives for money to a nasty and stupid public, and never denying who they are and what they believe in.
In 10+ years, this band has given me lots of joy.
For how long they will be around, I will be a fan and I am sure they will keep givin me joy and when Time will Dust it all, what will make me happy still will be knowing after the fame, after the success there will still be a group of friends forever, with their families tighten up together.
FOREVER.
Now I am in this hall at airport and my husband is giggling at me banging on the apple air telling me we’ll miss the plane (ironically) but I am happy I posted this.
It’s for sure full of mistakes and horrible typos and probably I should beta it but you know I never do it and I won’t do it not even this time.
This is not a professional writing: it’s my emotional and honest blabbing online, and those reading it who know me feel it and those reading it, not knowing me… they don’t matter in my world and I don’t really care about any of them ;).
So yes… I really like this post already.
It’s kind of an ode to Love and I always like that kind of shiz ;).
I couldn’t make the video I wanted celebrating such a long hiatus, with songs appropriate underlyining the different sections of pictures BUT I want at least to post a song which I heard straight after I knew about A&B engagement.
It’s an Italian song by Giorgia and her words… somehow talked about what Behati did to me.
So I post the video and a translation of the lyrics and wish True Lovers TRUE LOVE, and to keep spreading it to the world to make it better.
Karim and I will do exactly this in our – Divine – Anniversary trip which is just about to start 🙂
Translation:
It’s Only Love That Matters (by Giorgia)
“I Did make quite a few mistakes,
and I sport the bumps of them on me,
but I am not gonna think about them anymore;
I took it in, and I lost it,
but I keep watching forward, ahead, you know…
Just where I see you’re walking.
They are gonna tell you that I am crazy:
this is the price I’ll pay for being always sincere.
It’s only love that matters,
not just its numbers,
and not even the limits…
It’s a winding road,
and it’isn’t about logic, and it isn’t easy at all…
In the time of this waiting…
Just when you realize that
it’s only love that counts…
you must not get lost, you must also learn how to say no.
Yes, I’ve lost some of my time:
those kind of chances that never come back:
but it’s fine, it also makes me better
if my dignity keep still young nonetheless.
They will tell you that I am not ambitious…
This is the price I pay for loving without asking nothing in return.
t’s only love that matters,
not just its numbers,
and not even the limits…
It’s a winding road,
and it’isn’t about logic, and it isn’t easy at all…
In the time of this waiting…
Just when you realize that
it’s only love that counts…
you must not get lost, you must also learn how to say no.
No… No No
No To this time made by rage and cobblestone…
No no no…
It’s only love that matters,
not just its numbers,
and not even the limits…
It’s a winding road,
and it’isn’t about logic, and it isn’t easy at all…
In the time of this waiting…
Just when you realize that
it’s only love that counts…
you must not get lost, you must also learn how to say no…
I guess by now, it’s just a further morning (actually I will finish this at late evening… and prepare to a LOT of typos because there is no way I will double check a thing if I ever want to finish the thing for real ops ;))…
I have been long awaiting to create this post because in the past few days so much that I care of has happened in Italy that I have been on a roller coaster of powerful moods straight for around a week right now.
I have been in need of taking my time in relax… working (going abroad to Berlin again) then just spend time with Karim, and have a wonderful Milan Night in San Siro (whoooaaa we were great against Lazio!!! And I who thought Barcelona Magic was a one night stand!!!), then relax again and be just naked for a whole Sunday before the awkward sensation out of last week vanished enough to let me write.
For weeks (months… let’s cut it.. FOR YEARS) I have waited for a sign of change in my fellow Countrymen, and waited for this all to manifest itself in the just-happened turn of ballots.
I waited for them to understand criminal liars aren’t going to do our poor Italy any favor (because the only ones they look forward to would benefit solely themselves) and I was hoping this year would have proven my hopes right.
I was hoping after the worst bunch of years, clearly linked to disarmingly awful management out from essentially one party (person) Italians would have stopped to believe tales and would have boldly faced reality and would have acted consequently, because after all we are an heritage of amazingly talented people and we have skills, talents, brains and creativity to always find our way to become better, no matter how disadvantaged we are feeling or how bad the situation is looking.
Because DAMN… I am PROUD to be Italian… for what we are SUPPOSED to be.
I get so disheartened whenever I realize this concept of “Italian” might be just a thing of the past, since it’s almost all my life that the values that seem predominating in my Country are the exact opposite than what I strive for and I thrive on.
Watching Presa Diretta yesterday has made me undertsand better why Italians (and why so many of them) have chosen a former comedian as mentor… but while I do get the disbelief and outrageous anger towards “regular” politicians is a thing that – positively – finally has gotten to the limelight, I still very dubious that a recipe like the one Grillo suggests (? does he in the end suggest something after all?) can fix troubles.
Not only that… the other one, the cancer this Country keeps proudly displaying (oh, poor us), still around and not as done as anybody with brain and heart wanted him to be.
I can’t believe the way populism is so ready to mesmerize Italians.
Grillo and Berlusconi are just the same soup baked and cooked in populist sauces, the only difference being the fact Grillo is NOT a criminal while Berlusconi instead is one of the biggest CRIMINALS around.
I get scared when I see how much desperation (or sometimes just laziness) can revolve and push people in trusting what in my book should hardly be trusted.
Yes, Italians love fake promises, they love to have others think for them and find them easy solutions (that never exist in reality, especially in difficult realities such as the times we are in), and they are ready to believe the grossest tales as long as they are pledged to escape a reality that they don’t find flattering.
I cringe at this all, because I am a different breed: I think in hard times people have to FACE the difficulty and get over it by their own forces, with dedication, pride, with determination and drive.
In a way, M5S pledges for this kind of personal push, but I see so many anarchists and unreliable people merged into their following that I can’t avoid to question the goodness of the Movement itself.
I so believe Italians have the resources to finally turn tables and make their (our) Country free from the disgusting stealing robbering behaviors for 60 years its politicians have implemented… I just fear Grillo is not the one to guide this whole process.
Berlusconi keeps being around. DAMN.
I don’t think he’s fit; I on the other hand deeply believe Italians have to do what it takes to save Italy from the cliff we’re hanging on the verge of.
How?
With talent; that talent which Italians have in their genetic pool so strong but which they seem to always forget about, drowned in fears.
This electoral result freaks me, I guess you got it…
Except that it actually doesn’t even surprise me that everything has gone this way, to be honest with you; the more I evaluate the whole situation, the more “surprised” isn’t really the way I feel about this all.
We have even more populists people claiming the little that’s left of Italians’ dignity throughout surrealistic suggestions (which are really dangerous tho) such as “let’s leave Euro” “let’s exit from the Financial system” (which is sucky and so totally wrong, but which pays our debt, idiots), and similarly out of reach “brilliant” (no) agendas.
We are probably the only Country in the world (ever?) to give TWO COMEDIANS the highest rise rate in the last 45 days before an actual “matter-of-life-and-death” turn of election.
We keep having the oldest political class (yes, in the Parliament now many young people are stepping in, but the political parties and all the lobbies and all the commanding chain in this Nation STILL an affair of painfully old people, let’s face it).
How can they reckon what would work for us, when they are not even belonging to the generation(s) they are throwing off a (very high) cliff?
Why we still the only Country where people at the Left don’t really understand a thing about the generation(s) they pledge the voting of?
Sure… we gotta get up and try (as P!nk would say… I love that song) but sometimes trust me is all but easy.
Sometimes… especially after having been for some days again in a Country like USA… I would love to just give up and leave.
We go there in two weeks again and really… sometimes… I think seriously about that all.
But it’s a very quick thought: I’d never do that… I am an Italian with the love for the Country which is shaped out of the way Japanese people love and adore their own.
I would never leave the boat that sink.
I am not Schettino.
Even if it’s truly (and believe me it is) hard to keep on witnessing the way Italians do pay dust to themselves so constantly.
Joseph Ratzinger Benedict XVI steps off the Pope’s soil
I want fresh forces, but forces who understand politics and LAWS, not a bunch of digerati who can claim this Country (one of those with the hugest debt) can exit frigging Euro or can give a minimum wadge salary (that’d be great, but simply it cannot happen with our financial woes) and an ordeals of retards will believe this all and will create un-governability, will send Stocks down the hill and generally will ruin the already thin chances Italy has to resurface from a downward spiral.
Basically… my problem with Italy is that I don’t trust Italians’ choices again, because those choices are just about as opposite as possible to anything great this Country has ever done in its glorious past.
Why don’t Italians try to be great as they can and work their asses off and stop to wait for others to bail them, instead of believing all Fairy Tellers and let them sink us all any time an inch more down the water?
But yes, it was amazing, and I so wish Italy could claim a progressive party and man such as USA can.
That was where last post ended… we were just about to witness the magic and I didn’t imagine this post would have come more than a month after but you know me… life has its turns and this blog is just my fun memory and generally February, March and April are very hectic for me; both work-wise and because in them there are always the trips for Valentine’s time (later on that… this year it was marvelous again), our K’s time and then my Birthday time.
So when heavy working schedule mix with long trips to foreign places (or to K’s home, like it will happen in March), it’s not really like I can have time to write posts.
I queue things along and then when I will be able to write, I will (this generally happens in airports halls or when I perform tests at lab, just like now ;)).
Oh, nothing… just best Italian Journalist and Historicist alive 😉
To make it more understandable: when we came back from Valentine’s vacation in the amazing Caribbean Islands, I went straight to Florence out from the plane for a THREE days conference which was taking place in weekend and then straight drove (well, K did…) to reach Milan and VOTE.
The day of Elections while the results were making me so worked off, I practically fell asleep by exhaustion at 9h30 pm.
I think somehow I am getting old and I need breaks to sustain some pacing my life has.
When I am turning 28 soon I will shed a tear to my former physical invincibility.
Which has gone away, clearly ;).
I am also starting to enjoy quieter nights out dining with the crew instead of the formal super clubby mod we were put on display on weekends.
Sure I do still enjoy to dance and feel musically entangled in lobo strobes but it’s just that I realize “generation-speaking” that is starting (conveniently) not being my thing anymore.
Chapters of life and age showing… and I have to say I actually like this comprehension I have of the rightfulness of this all.
Is there anything lamer than adults trying to deny they are adults by behaving like kids?
I allow that to artists because they MUST remain kids at heart always (so basically I allow K to be so, even if that really isn’t his way to be at all), but regular people with no artistry in their DNA keeping acting teens when they are not… those gain all my disrespect and I don’t plan to be self-hating any time soon ;).
By the way though yes, Ia m aging and I am almost 28… I still super hot and super fit tho so it’s okay.
I’ll just sleep more and have sex at more convenient hours 😉 (still as often as possible as that calls for a perfect shape and beauty appearance too ;)).
But back at what I was writing.
Life is the greatest thing indeed.
Lately I am really trying to figure out what I stand for at the moment… not only these rhythms that are pacing out at different values…
It’s clear I am approaching that phase of life when all of my peers are starting to turn into family units; I love this.
All you need is Love &… cookies 😉
I love that we are together since forever and we are all coming to the same places, this is amazing.
I love that I am starting to feel some kind of urgency towards motherhood, too.
WELL STOP THE PRESS IS NOT LIKE K&I ARE PLANNING A TODDLER.
Not yet 😉
But the more we are around friends (really close ones) with kids, or ready to have some, the more I naturally start to understand I might get there with ease, too.
Look… not because I feel pressured for or towards it…
JUST BECAUSE K&I feel like we are starting to be ready (but again, that yet doesn’t mean we are trying a thing ;)).
While I was traveling like a fool past month, and I also got blasted by flu, Karim was there being amazing and I suddenly felt so HOME.
It was no mattering where I actually was… He’s HOME for me.
His soul is home for mine.
And I think we could be great parents in a while.
We just need to complete our working crafts and feel full with them.
He’s on the verge of wrapping up the most amazing project in three Countries; I have a very FULL 2013 ahead.
Once these things are accomplished and once we both slide in our meant to chairs in our Companies… who knows.
It MIGHT be TIME FOR CHANGES.
One thing I know for sure.
In a month I get 28 and I feel a woman and not a girl by now in full.
Women have a different mind sets than girls.
And I am getting ready to new chapters in my life most definitely and the wonderful things is that I feel so GREAT about this all.
I am loving getting older; the experiences my life has gifted me with are something precious and very special and I believe in a little while I could be good in passing all this to a new generation; and that new generation, THAT’s FOR SURE, would also be fathered by the most perfect man in the world (perfect also because he is not perfect… though people meeting Karim won’t believe he is not, because this is what he looks and feels like to all of us… but I know him better and I can tell you he is not perfect, but just because of it he is PERFECT FOR ME :)).
When we went to Venice Carnival I just glowed in him.
Carnival Loving Time 2013
The mere things he does to make me smile or to teach me things I didn’t know blow my mind and heart off every single time.
The Valentine’s trip then…
For days and weeks he made me believe we would have gone to Pennsylvania at Hershey’s SPA and then to New York for Maroon 5 MSG gig and then meet with his family in Miami (they obviously have a beach house there too… where’s the surprise ;)).
Weather was freezy POLAR in Italy so I was looking forward to some chocolate and more freeze and then (but only then) some beachy hot time instead…
Instead we went to the Caribbean magic and passed from the Cays in Turks and then move to Santo Domingo and touch a sleeve of Cuban salsa as well…
We touched Nature in the most perfect way, meeting sharks and turtles and iguanas and feeling like Adam and Eve in the Eden and HONEST TO ABOVE…
There I truly felt like if I could get pregnant IMMEDIATELY and even give birth right there and be only K&I forever alone on those islands NOTHING would have been more prefect.
Yes, I am THAT in love.
Caribbean Love 2013
And the greatest thing is that while the passion still there (because I live for sex and I am the most sexual kinky fuck you could imagine… and he LOOOOOVES it, no matter what) the real plus part of our bond is that we are completely into one another’s minds and talents.
We look up to one another.
We genuinely think the other can make our world EVOLVE, which is why even when we quarrel (like anybody does if they care about one another) we can actually try to guess if something the other thinks could be in fact… right over our own opinion.
This only can happen when you REALLY think the other is amazing, because then your ego (even our two ones, which are MEGA) can step off a bit and make you get better through the other’s input.
That doesn’t mean I don’t get mad when K beats me at ANYTHING though ;).
Because I do.
My competitive side is just… moon-sized ;).
But I also always say that is a wonderous thing that I can LOVE my best competitor this much and always feel blessed even when he kicks my ass.
The satisfaction I get whenever is HIS ass that I kick multiplies out of this all, too 😉
*insert evil laugh*
*And a LOOOOOOONG kiss* 😉
Talking about competitive sides… it’s hard (especially after the AMAZING performances of late) not to connect with what THE AMAZING MAMBA is doing at the moment.
He’s starting to think about retirement of course but just as I said to him… that day for me will make the transition about him from INHUMAN PERFECT ATHLETE to SUPREME SPORT LEGEND ICON.
I will also – of course – when Kobe won’t be playing anymore.
But like it always happens with my sporty idols… when THEY stop, a part of me buries with them and what they have inspired me out of LIFE lessons properly, through their sport’s mastery.
So when Kobe retires… a part of me will be completed and a seed will be planted forever in me and its offsprings (hopefully) will be also part of me forever.
Kobe is my FOCUS&Determination icon.
He will always be an hero for me, long past his Lakers’ days (and his obvious status as legend).
Talent is something that flourishes so highly in them two… and you know I can only like talented (multi talented actually) type of people.
So will the Lakers made it to playoffs?
I don’t think chances are that high at stakes actually…
His Mamba-ness
This because it doesn’t ONLY rely on Lakers… we have to hope those ahead slow down and this is never a good way to obtain things. But it’s our fault to have let the opportunity slides off our hands to be the sole responsibles of our own future so, whatever it happens, it will be on us and teach us better for the future (hopefully).
What I do know is that I adore to see Kobe and Nash play together; I have let go of Pau‘s disappointments by now (he’s injuried so it wouldn’t even be cute to speak about it) and Howard keeps being… I don’t know… resilient to finally give in to us and be a COMPLETE Laker?
Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant Lakers LOVE
I still on the fence about him; can’t help but feeling Kobe’s feels there (I know, I am biased probably but this is how I am ;)).
I hope Lakers make it to the playoffs also because being in the USA for a while in the next two months, I would love to witness again a game live at Staples…
I will actually be soon at Staples but that will be again just for a bunch of hours of gig catching when Maroon 5 play there in two weeks (less than it!!!) and it won’t last much , as we will be based in San Francisco by the time of K’s festivities 😉 and then we move to New York for both mine and his work (yes, no leisure time this time in NY)… and then from there is – hopefully if nothing goes wrong – HANAMI TIME IN JAPAN FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!! (and THAT will surely be only leisure time 😉 because I do deserve ;)).
Hanami Time for my incoming 28th birthday!
So right now I generally start to go backwards to the past post and put up Maroon 5 & then Adam (and Behati’s) things.
I will this time too, but since more than a month and A LOT of things have happened, I will try to be quick (none of you believe I will actually be able to, do you?) because already the video things are like a million pieces and this is going to be one of the longest posts ever already just out of them.
Take a seat?
Good 😉
Before I start, let me just point out for the millionth time that when I write about M5 or Adam… I do it only because they are part of my entertainment and “world of likes”.
The two lovebirds pose alike – Adam and Behati
This is not a gossip blog; this is my blog and here I list what I am interested in.
The day I will not find this fun anymore, I will stop; or the day I won’t find reasons to update about all my likes; I’ll stop this.
Gossip is not my thing; in fact, I love that for instance now Adam is very private about his personal and love life: that’s the way I carry my life too (I don’t let strangers enter for real in my circle and am very picky in my true life friendships) and for sure, the best way to have a safe and healthy and HAPPY life is let the crazy outsiders as separate as possible from the core of your inmost and safest personal place.
Super Classy Adam Levine – vintage
I am glad Adam has learnt it through bad experience off his (recent and not so recent) past: no true lover will ever ask you to display your privateness, unless it’s for gaining personally out from your weaknesses.
I always get appalled anytime “fans” claim the “idols” owe them anything other than the consuming of their professional creations; what fans are responsible for it’s the fame the idols may have but that fame came because what artists and idols PRODUCED matched a taste and a liking and then the only thing fans are to be credited for are to have been rewarded with THE PRODUCTS off from their idols.
The fans don’t own the idols at all; they can just own the products that the idols put off, and the occasional proxemity derived from the live consuming of that product, too.
Fans are fans because they LIKE THE PRODUCTS the “idols” make; in no way the “idols” life belong AT ANY PART to no fan.
I wish the ordeals of crazy heads who are way too invested in celebrity lives would understand this, that in no way the life of their idols are linked or will ever be linked for real to theirs..
In some years, Maroon 5 won’t be public anymore, just like it always happens with musicians – or actors –; Adam and the guys will lead very private lives and stay in themselves like it’s only fair to be… what will the crazy fans do then?
Stop breathing?
In the past month I got harassed by some very amusing mad folks and in all occasions (beside laughing my ass off at them) I just thought “poor them… do they really believe any of the people they worship would ever think anything different than “these are crazy” about them?” It’s sad when lives are so poor you have to borrow some celebrity’s one to feel you have a purpose in your days.
Behati and Candice in Caribbean Blue 😉
This isn’t how I work and this isn’t what this blog is up for.
These are my youth memories and my music likes are of course involved, as music plays such a HUGE part in my daily things, but as you have read before, I am not that young anymore so these chronicles (and all the material I upload) could just be gone at ANY GIVEN TIME from now on.
I won’t keep on writing for much longer, be sure ;)…
I will surely be stopping as soon as I have a kid for instance, or just turn this into a “mummy care” blog (with no pics whatsoever of my family of course… you know that privacy and I are double tied).
It’s just about what I decide to do, the rest of the days this blog may or may not have, and it’s no big deal really… just a phase of my life that takes place onto another one which ends, right?
Oh, and always remember… Internet is not real life.
A fandom is not real life.
For how important that all may seem (at least to teen people, and everyone has been teen so I do understand… I much less understand grown people spending TONS of time online following celebrities in their every move, as they couldn’t live a hour without imagining what they do or what they don’t… really? I suggest to go out and take a look at the sky 😉 and maybe talk in real life with real people flesh and bone, for a good change ;)), in reality it is just NOT important at all; it should not matter till the point you don’t feel fine if for a day you don’t check your internet, twitter or whatever in fear you miss Above-Knows-What that your idol might be sharing there.
These stuff… are not mattering for real in your life; trust ;).
It has happened to me quite a number of times by now to reject some material some people were sending me to be published here just because it seemed to me way too much of a reach by said people to suggest me to write one thing or another – for instance under a picture they sent – and to just completely reject the entire ideas they had about things the pictures or the link had to stand for (to be more clear: some people were sending me material to empower their sort of fans/stans wars through this blog and NO THANK YOU, I have left sixth grade a lot time ago and this is just ridicolous, especially when coming from grown up people well past their TWENTIES even. I don’t use, thank you very much ;)).
I don’t even know how to react to these things; they seem all so out of world to me… I can’t really picture how those brains work (or if they do exist at all).
A fandom might be nice, but not if it becomes borderly obsessive, or an obsession entirely.
Ewwww.
That’s gross and sad and just plain wrong: read a book in case… do not create a book in your mind using by suggestions living people’s lives.
Real life is made of the real people in your life, not a celebrity dream: try to step aside this all if you come here to read about celebrities (here or anywhere else), because you’re destroying your life this way.
Adam Levine and mum Patsy at Lakers old games
Okay 😉
Now I can start to put the pieces of the past month together, musically speaking ;).
I will actually put together the timelines of both M5 & Behati + Adam (sort of) because there’s no other way to do this in a quick way (today is testing day but is not like I can just play at work… I don’t want the lab cubicle to explode, especially NOT with me in it ;)!)
I will try my best to be understandable…
In case I wouldn’t (it’s fairly possible); just have fun with all the videos and magazines which are gonna be put up ;).
Let’s start from where it all ended previous post then.
Talking about that video… what if BOTH Love Somebody video and The Man Who Never Lied one (which have both been done already, with Emily Ratajkowski and Valerie Van Der Graaf) will be part of the re-edition of Overexposed, which I suppose will be packed around the Summer, as part of a bonus content (which hopefully is going to include a new song, a new version of Lucky Strike with a female vocalist featured, and some more surprises)?
I’d be VERY down to this all.
It’s not the moment to make Love Somebody a fourth single: as I predicted Daylight went to Top Ten in BBHot100 just for a hot minute (still, that is the best chart achievement of ANY Maroon 5 album ever: 3 Top Ten hits were not even possible with Songs About Jane!) but the sappy mood just won’t do much more (as it won’t the insane new rule for the BBHot100 chart… what a travesty, Bill Werde!!), and it would be foolish to push another similarly sounding single in Love Somebody.
the impressive chart success of Maroon 5 currently
Please guys don’t do it.
You have THE PERFECT songs in Lucky Strike, Doin’ Dirt and Wipe Your Eyes to rule the chart again… cut the sappy stuff and although I really like the way Daylight sounds live, I still don’t think it is at all that memorable song.
It’s in the line of Won’T Go Home Without You… cute but nothing historical; in years it won’t ever be mentioned in your best 7 tracks meme.
It’s time to let it go and bring the groove back ;).
A thing that bugs me (but I do understand where it comes from) is that the media and VS are trying obvioulsy to milk the fact Behati is with Adam; SHE DOESN’T DO THAT, being respecteful of her boyfriend and so good for him… but the media outlets do and this causes stress and charge for the couple.
By now is UTTERLY clear Adam and Behati won’t talk publicly of their relationship and THAT IS GREAT AND RIGHT; but the fact they won’t is making newsmakers trying to push them into doing it , even if by denying lies.
When the interview aired, the usual brainless suspects tried to read into Ryan talking with one of Adam’s assistants (NOT ADAM, be careful) the sentence that he (Adam they hoped, but it may have been the assistant, right?) was “newly single”:
This caused havoc online; the many mad people who hate Behati just because she is with Adam took the chance to vent into her account and offend her all possible ways; the psycho widows around had no hesitation in covering her with hateful names and horrible reactions; doesn’t matter that she was (and STILL IS) clearly with Adam (clearly to anyone a bit into his circle); the fact is that the careful media handling of some previous famewhoring exploiter has depicted Behati so bad, fragile minds have fallen for the lies and just cannot see the truth not even when it’s as bright as the Sun.
In all this insane and undeserved hate, not only Behati behaved so very classily and never stepped down to her haters sad levels; she just kept on being herself and being protected by her people (Candice, Doutzen), after she tweeted simply “Haters Will Hate, Lovers Will Love: It’s You’re Choice“.
And aside the grammar flaw, the point is exactly that: she doesn’t owe explanations; her life and Adam’s are only THEIRS and it’s good the hate she gets still hasn’t affected that one bit.
I admire her way to be about this all, and as usual I praise her for having in mind always and only ONE THING FIRST: ADAM.
Adam also has always made clear his private life is now SUPER private and he won’t put it on display; but I am fairly certain for every wound senseless and disgusting people cause to his Mermaid Angel, he has a way to heal her and make her feel the best on Earth, otherwise she wouldn’t be this brave in facing so vulgar hatred she definitely doesn’t deserve, being so lovely and caring.
Adam will fight (but privately) for his love, the way it should be.
No disrespecteful “fans” have rights to get a glimpse of their precious lives.
BTW, before I forget… Adam was again up in the last episode of American Horror Story Asylum (I have watched the Italian version on our Sky but the dubbing is ATROCIOUS to be frank… I came back to the original audio all times ;)):
I love the way his acting potential shows in the series; I can’t wait to see the way he does in the giant screen when Can A Song Save Your Life will be out 🙂
He has the classic beauty of all old school Hollywood studs; he just needs to practice and refine his moves.
In fact they used a – wonderful – version of old gem “Woman” for this promo video… the funny thing being that Behati actually is in it for not more than a blink… ;):
Behati anyway is gorgeous… her fresh beauty is refreshing for the eyes and her soul is so cute and quirky, just as Adam’s.
And anyway Vanity Fair was not the only magazine which Adam graced these weeks…
Allegedly Prince was not amused about the cover inclusion and of course, as the huge Prince worshipper he is, Adam immediately took the song off the album:
Prince and Maroon 5 KISS cover quarrel
Things like that happen; the only important thing is that Maroon 5 made up for their mistake (and I keep having the very beautiful Kiss cover, tho ;)).
Now sure he wasn’t perfect and sure the cue cards bugged him BUT those bugs also very trained actors (which Adam is not yet) so I won’t put a crux on Adam’s shoulder for having done what everyone does there (by SNL crew’s ORDERS everybody gotta read cue cards) and blast him for having not been perfect or totally natural reading the suggestions.
If you want to know though, Adam is not the only one venturing outside M5; of course there is James with JJAMZ, but you all better be ready also for May 14th, when PJ Morton will put out “New Orleans”.
This would be a double duty time in Miami actually (always having her friends & lover in mind it seems)… first she shot with Bruce Weber and Noah Mills (allegedly… and the two apparently just shot something together again in Zanzibar, but this come later on); while later she would be there again to share with her fellow Angels the Victoria’s Secret spot by Michael Bay (that the week after though):
And while we are at it… take into all these amazing shots for VS 2013 Behati’s campaigns 😉 gaze into her beauty and spunky attitude and try to understand why Adam is blessed to have gotten her :
While his lady was rocking beaches and lingerie and swimsuits, and also some good female professional company, Adam played golf with actor friend Greg Ellis (mocking the stupid fans who keep on believe the twitter account RealAdamLevine is actually his, and with the compliance of Greg actually… I love how he is sometimes cruel with the stupidity of people 😉 I love to do the same), then went with his mum at his brother Michael Rent’s performance:
Adam Levine Mum Patsy and Family at Rent in LA 3 February 2013
In fact, Adam is SUPER busy, because now he has the luxury not many people have in the industry to be a household name.
In fact is pretty difficult for male NON SOLO artists to ever accomplish that status.
Adam has reached it, and now, beside the music career as part of Maroon 5; as writer and composer; as solo artist (with other artists); as record label owner; as tv personality; as tv actor; as MOVIE actor… he is now ALSO at a status which allows him to have endorsements OUT of the music world (which he already has: for Samsung and JHC speakers along Maroon 5, and for First Act Guitars as a solo entity), like the very lucrative Proactive one:
Just know that the rumored fee (very likely) Adam has obtained for endorsing Proactive after Katy perry did (3.5 Million$) and Justin Bieber did (4.1M$) is around 4.6M$ for 18 months.
This is the power of being a household name, folks.
This is amazingly rewarding… but sure it’s also a bit draining as for scheduling and arrangements…
In fact in Los Angeles he had the first meet and greet for the Perfume the first week of February, in between rehearsals for the Grammys and recording with Morrison:
In fact Adam has never spare days practically… in his media tour for the perfumes and the clothing line he looked exhausted (I let you see this now even though it’s a patchwork which involves events happened the second half of February because it works better this way to make you see his tired eyes and face ;))
I am glad he is surrounded by people who love him dearly and since forever and by now no leeches or exploiters are around him anymore because his energies would be drained completely if he couldn’t find rest in love comfortably now that his whole world never really stops at all.
And probably you get why it is always more important for him to protect his private life and stay as clear as possible from fake exploiters and leeches.
Leeches that have kept using him even when it was really not necessary (or smart or fair… but have they ever been fair to him? no way…).
Case in point, the SUPER CREEPY 7 Hollywood Magazine “Icons” issue.
This glossy magazine was launched in November with David Gandy as main train… he failed miserably to sell it and then the team behind it (read the contributors in the magazine credits, and you will laugh your ass off at the fact they all belong to a “team” so very familiar… a team of people I won’t even mention because they are the worst of the worst) decided ONCE more to use the name they always used to get relevance again, and began to promote it in the media outlets (complacent ones, I suppose paid as well) to present Adam Levine naked again on the cover of it (and that, oh! miracle! finally sold the glossy piece of trash the magazine is).
Too bad that nakedness by Adam was dated July 2011, as the entire Levine’s spread is recycled and repainted work out of the Vogue Russia cover feature he shot then, and which then was out in November 2011.
Adam Levine used again for 7Hollywood Magazine winter 2013_the photos are from 2011
To make it all creepier, (the words in the article are all old, because of course Adam wasn’t reached for a new interview, and they had to recycle words material, just to have a promo push without being object of lawsuit), also the video of the shot was a recycled one from 2011 of course presented as if it was not old (I have the iPad version of / Hollywood and also that number of Vogue Russia, so I do know…):
I guess some famewhoring crew won’t ever learn decency and realness.
Good luck with the new venture… it’s not as good or rich as what they lost this new cow they can try to milk, nor even remotely as popular or worthy, but as long is giving them something that can be spent they won’t mind, and hopefully on the other side we have finally finished to be milked by all those losers this way, which is the only thing that matters.
Long gone the exploiters, let’s get back to the specific status Adam is in now, which is extremely rewarding but also which causes a tons of stress and fatigue, which sometime soon might be showin in some of his behaviors (I hope not, but when he is stressed he can be unpredictable, and he’s very human and mistaken when that happens).
First of all: Adam totally deserves this all which is pouring onto his head at the moment: he is very talented and although I HATE (properly, I do) that this all virtually started with a role that I detest and despise (because even I can reckon The Fuckery that thing success started this all at this scale), the fact it all happened finally so greatly for him is something that I am very happy for.
Maroon 5 Grammy Party 2013 with STING
Adam has never tried to hide the fact he loves to make money (and his honesty there is something I respect… I just hate the fact the medium to get that better is a sub par Karaoke show, because that is not good for music, although I admit it has been actually good for HIS music, giving him new perspective and energies and inspirations for sure), and I see the fact he is finally having and making more than many could ever dream of like a signal he will in a while be able to retire and have the family that he deserves.
Not yet, and not for some years more for sure… but now he knows, and sometimes hints at, at the fact in a while he will kiss everyone’s goodbye and just live with the well deserved wealth and memory of a worldwide fame his talent has created for himself and those who will be lucky enough to be there the day he will decide it’s time to become, for instance, a father (I still have doubts he is going to ever marry anyone to be honest, but surely he will father children).
I think in itself that is a marvelous thing indeed, to realize you have worked and reached all your goals and then you feel entitled to take a backseat and live a “normal” life, just way less ordinary than most people could.
I hope only he can find peace and not get stressed in the way to that retirement of gold he most definitely has already planned, or is starting to plan.
The latter part of this video is something that we will talk about later after commenting another FAKE piece of “report” regarding Adam and Behati’s life (will they ever stop to try to ruin them? Leave them alone and let their relationship be, for as long as THEY – and ONLY they – will decide it has to last!).
But the fact he is, doesn’t mean strangers have to be too, so keeps that in mind as well in the continuous of this post (or simply, plug in your brain ;)).
Girl has a great voice, but so far I have to admit the thing I like her most in is still the Come Away To The Water duet on the Hunger Games Soundtrack.
Bunch of lies, courtesy of Page Six, promptly rebooted by a series of similarly scum-mish tabloids.
The point is that again nobody from Bee or adam’s sides said a word on this trash.
Why?
Because they keep NOT caring at all.
Mario Batali cheers Adam Levine and Maroon 5 at MSG gig
Tabloids and insane people can keep believe what they want; while Behati and Adam can keep having their very private and personal life (together, still) which doesn’t belong to strangers; therefore they won’t ever answers the trash.
I totally support their attitude regarding this, you know; and I am really proud this is the way they chose to be.
Behati Prinsloo and Maroon 5 crew in Connecticut and New Jersey February 2013 for M5 gigs
And here we go, just to dismantle the fakers (that keep roaming the story… just the other day The Huffington Post kept saying “Adam is single since April last year” LOL… while he was coupled AGAIN exactly after April last year… not that you can expect them to know it all, especially when they cannot even write “romantic” correctly in their own language ;)).
Maroon 5 left New York immediately after the gig at MSG; Behati stayed in New York for a very important event; do you remember when in November at the VSFS taping she said after her apartment flooded she was guest at a model friend’s house, and that the model friend was pregnant?
Would you say no to a legend and a dear friend who helped you when in need?
No, you wouldn’t.
I just hope Behati avoided at all costs the slimey individual that was there too and who has caused Adam’s a lot of dirt in his life; I won’t even name that piece of trash, I just hope Behati stays well away from him because THAT in case would be the end of the relationship, given the opinion Adam has of the “man” and his “posse”.
This is actually their time together ut in video: ENJOY :
I mean, I repeat for the millionth time: Adam is not up to marry; this lovestory (which is at its tenth month by now, and which is very strong actually) could finish TOMORROW (in case it would I’d expect Taylor Swift to jump on Adam’s bones in a millisecond… she is SOOOOOOO thirsty for him it’s getting ridicolous ;)).
Nothing is given or promised for future but I find disgusting the way these two lovers cannot have their moments; I find horrible and repulsive the lies spread about them; I find terrible that Behati gets harassed anytime because of her relationship, especially when all she’s doing is loving Adam FOR REAL; and without exploiting him a bit, and instead of being praised for it she gets hated.
It must be difficult but then again; she doesn’t care, because her prize is Adam and then any obstacle shall disappear in front of such a thing.
I have to say he didn’t really tweet much after that, but if you took note Behati was having also need of him that day… I am sure he was a CLOSE witness of her day at the Soho Store in VS lilac glory 😉 (Perks of video chats in phone):
Similarly, Behati can now shine and you can totally get she is happy, like when she had to come back from the tour bus in New Jersey and get back to New York first to present The Fabulous Swim line, alone and with Miranda Kerr at location.
Check her grace, gorgeousness, style and cuteness.
And enjoy how Adam’s family showed her love by greeting her in this very important (professionally speaking) day:
For now know that Behati is also the face for ESPRIT 2013.
I love that she is carefully picking up campaigns which cannot harm her VS Angel status; in fact, just like it did happen with NEXT and Seafolly, which are competitor in theory with VS brand, these firms are ALL not operating on the USA soil (Esprit doesn’t since last winter) so Behati can be their face without being a damage to her main source of work.
Smart Behati.
Oh… and GORGEOUS:
Behati Prinsloo for ESPRIT 2013
I am not really on the fence or at a window; about when the lovebirds will reunite.
I suppose easily in California when Adam is there to tour with his band mates and then up for his 34th birthday celebration in LA and Las Vegas.
Sure she will know how to make him feel the most special birthday EVER.
I wonder when she will finally be able to go to her homeland for real and maybe spend some quality family time there…
I strongly advice all of you to try and witness this tour because as I have written in the video… this time around they are REALLY reaching out for the stars (that they are themselves), as each gig is monumental and really engaging this era.
It’s an experience you will treasure I swear even if you are not even familiar with them.
At MSG they were fantastic and I expect even more at Staples Center; I am also quite curious to see how this American energy will translate in the UK gigs…
But whatever… you TRY to catch them.
You won’t regret it and no matter how not cheap their tickets are… this time around more than any other time IT’s WORTHY.
Trust me on this.
Do it 😉
Let the music shine.
It’s all that I have ever wanted for this blog to display, actually.
MUSIC RULES.
Have a great March… catch you sometimes in April 😉
Celebrating in California (well, actually my birthday will be spent in Las Vegas, but that’s another story entirely ;)) and then spending time in between Los Angeles (our house!!! Long time not to see!!!), San Francisco (parental house of K… well, parental CASTLE of K ;)) and COACHELLA!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to taste all Coachella fun and Radiohead twice!!!
can't wait!!!
Sadly as you know no Coldplay because I have to get back in Europe (Sweden) for work duties but it’s okay, I prefer to watch them in Europe than in Los Angeles anyway (the crowd is often dead in the USA).
I will see them soon enough no problem: my tickets made somebody else very happy 😉
The lovely thing is that in Coachella (where we will go with security… *sigh*… I love being in Usa but to wander around with that still make me so unconfortable…)we will be kinda dressin up.
And… I will turn my hair into a raven braids basket 😉 I LOVE that!!! It will feel like a three days of disguising party 😉 (x 2), turning us in some sort of hobo/hippies with very expensive yet casual clothes (which is the definition of Coachella hipsters… they are actually way more coordinate and predictable that they’d like to think, so to try to be intentionally like a parody will be fun!!!).
So… TODAY IS THE NIGHT OF THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!
The Day is Upon Us
I prefer to write now and not after the game because Barça-Milan makes me giddy and shaky and overloaded already…
I know we have small chances but I want to spend my hopes well so… let me live this dizzy moment of awaiting in purity.
I don’t wanna make predictions.
I just wanna… live it and support my team.
Any case, to have witnessed Messi and Barcellona last game in San Siro was AWESOME.
A game of great magic 🙂 that last week really made me shine and be super happy 🙂
It was an awesome week because we celebrated also my Margherita’s pregnancy!!!
OMG (number 2) I am gonna be a AUNT! (not genetically, but trust me it won’t count… that baby of her is gonna be SUPER SPOILED by Missus Z, no doubts there!).
Just I hope she will fly carefully to California because I don’t want to cause her stress (and she will join us in Los Angeles, not in Las Vegas, just to avoid chaos).
I am so happy… I have no will to become a mother any soon (you know it and so does Karim) because I have too much to accomplish yet before I can think of raising another soul but the fact she is makes me overjoyed, really!!!
I love the fact her family will expand and I think she’s gonna be a wonderful mum.
They must be upload some soon because in these months Maroon 5 have lost another founding member and are becoming the 5-piece Britney Spears of “new” pop (I cringe and cry… the fact that Jesse is gone, just as I wrote last time, makes me SICK because he was the art in Maroon 5 and now all that’s left is Adam’s ego, given that James is using his creative bits in JJAMZ more than ever… and they are actually sounding GREAT!).
I mean… Look:
what is actually left of them? Adam's ego? *sigh*
And of course, the other news that is up still today is that, AGAIN like I totally already guessed well in last post, Adam and Anne split just yesterday… except that I am mostly positive that split happened a lot before:
The best couple I ever had feeling for just split... but maybe not exactly "JUST"?
I am feeling almost bipolar about this.
In many ways… As everybody knows, I was not convinced by their appearance together at the Grammies: even in this pic up above, you see Anne clearly awkward next to Adam, and Adam looks like he just has to have her there.
They were used to look so perfect at one another and with one another but there, there was already no sign of affection at all; like they had to be a couple for the world to see but without feeling it.
I also had questions going on after this Howard Stern interview: if you just listen to it, all seems fine and funny (except that is very rare that a relationship portrayed on Stern lasts… ask Becky Ginos or Jonah Hill’s longtime ex galpal), but I could actually watch it on Stern tv and again they looked just so different than in 2011… even in the pictures showing Adam arriving at the interview the day before on Anderson, you can see inside the car a woman with her arms strongly and protectively crossed at her tummy, in the typical defensive position of someone who’s upset. That person was most surely Anne (head is not visible) and all body signs pointed to Splitsville already (Marghe, next time don’t ask me to analyze pictures that you bring up: you know I am more than Holmes-like with that: body language has no secrets to me).
AND their split, no matter if currently the more Adam does things, the more I get mad at him (so much talent, so much wasted in too many idiot stuff), no matter if I know that’s insane and stupid…
Well their split makes me sad.
Not really “sad” in a deep way… just “sad” in that empathic way you feel for a character in a movie I guess.
Or maybe I am properly sad. Stupidly because celebrities and splitting up always are the rule and not the exception and they were never there to ditch their careers for their love anyway, none of them two.
But the truth in me is that I wanted for real to see them form a family though: I will forever think they could have had the most gorgeous babies EVER in Hollywood.
I for real (and practically as soon as they started be a thing) thought Anne was not only the most beautiful girl he ever dated, but I felt she had the right personality to make him a man and not an ungrown kid with ego troubles still at 33.
I hope they are actually in good terms as spoken but again… good terms mean nothing at all in the end when you weren’t friends before; you won’t become friends after that’s for sure.
I wish Anne to find joy; I unfollowed her on Twitter just because to see her (and now she is back having the icon she had at the start of her story with Adam) act and talk and be cute makes me sadder that she won’t be the mother of his children.
Make freely fun of me… I know that is STUPID by my side but what can I do?
That was my wish.
A childlike wish for children off of a wonderfully well genetically paired couple (but they were so rarely seeing one another so they had little time to practice the sex that making kids would require… another sign that no relationship could survive over).
*sigh*
All that said, one could claim this way next Maroon 5 album will sound like Songs About Jane because Adam will be full of feelings but…
I don’t have high stakes there because the HORRIFYING THING has happened: they have let OTHER PEOPLE write along them!!!
This is almost WORST than The Fuckery Voice sign up (okay… not “almost”… that is WORSE!).
What kind of serious band doesn’t fully write their material????
Which true feelings can be sung, if it’s not the one who sings or play writing fully the songs that depict them?
I am appalled.
At least I can forever treasure this gem that was still produced when Adam was writing all of his lyrics by himself… the amazing Gotten which has now a video that benefits the homeless youth of Los Angeles.
This song is majestic… too bad the songs that will be included in Overexposed won’t ever reach this purity, being not fully an effort of the band, but a patch up of Blanco/MaxMartin/Ryan Tedder (the old fan in me wishes somehow I will be wrong there, but the music lover in me and the purist of art knows there’s no way art can survive such a mistake).:
Adam’s voice can be so perfect… even on the Hunger Games soundtrack you can see that and hear the magic but… by now he’s so taken trying to be this “superstar” he just can’t see straight anymore.
I am sure among all the new “hookups” he’s about to have, one will be with his partner in the American Horror Story role he’s now gotten confirmed.
Look how I will be once again correct, just like I was about Anne and Jesse and Maroon 5 losing their dignity in full selling completely out following Adam’s ego “lead”.
(You know that when I write all this the old fan in me is desperate, right? Because trust me I am and I wish I could just refuse them in full now that they have let me so down, but I still can’t fully cut ties, because all my youth has been spent with their music and his damn magical voice… 😦 )
Okay, I better focuse on the fact my friends are arriving and MILAN NEEDS US!!!!!
That thought is my everything now!!!
Cross fingers for us?
I mean, I know it should be illegal to wish Messi and Barcelona to lose because they are the best of the bests now but I am a Milan lover and I can’t do any differently so….
SCREAM ALONG::: MILAN, GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Oh, and Happy Easter everybody.
When this month of life abroad ends, we will meet again 😉
I slept only 4 hours tonight (and now at work I feel like trash) because after Lakers won against the Miami Meat and the Monkey that is LeBronze James (LMAO!!!) & we celebrated at a friends’ house (big fun for 15 crazy Lakerholics!), K&I went home and were so super pumped we had one of the most awesome (and long, even by our standards) sex marathons ever.
I’m dead and reborn and exhausted and shiningly joyful!!!!
the one and only Masked Mamba. Superpowers and all 😉
End of story.
My pride, my pumpness will never abandon me today!!!
And Milan is doing darn greatly too… it’s such perfection in my world of sports right now… and okay I still believe Lakers this year are not serious NBA contenders but who knows?
Miracles happen and we have a miracle playing with us always so…
who knows?
When we will be in LA in April we will surely check some Lakers action, beside Coachella and Radiohead.
I wish I could still say “and Coldplay at the Hollywood Bowl” but sadly I will have to be in Sweden for a weekly working project by April 30th so… goodbye Chris.
I will have to catch you elsewhere (bye also to backstage passes… but I will gift a couple of friends with them, if the promoter accepts the names changes).
Not always things may go my way… but ehi!
I’m not here to complain because my life is fantastic, and I have the luck of being able to travel everywhere, and catch my favorite things any place in the world.
I mean… in this past month Karim took me to the most wonderful and wild Valentine Vacation (Africa’s Islands in the Equatorial Chain are off the hook… what a Paradise!!! Bob Dylan knows best ;)), which lasted well over a week…
well... that was Paradise. Indeed.
And just this past weekend we spent three lovely and well loved-up days in my Roman house.
You can’t really complain ever… we can do all we like, we are blessed to be able to being invited personally by King Giorgio Armani to his defilées in every town (though Karim passed that… which allowed me to spend times with some of my gal pals I never get time to be with enough, due to our careers and our constant traveling in the above-mentioned “world” ;)), we can share tables with some of the most influential people in the whole globe and overall we lead a life people can generally just dream of (or not even… because people are used to guess celebrities life, but they rarely have a clue about what really powerful and rich people live like, when radars never emphasize them up – and let me add – LUCKILY).
Roma. Love. K and I. Perfection.
Too bad sometimes sadness still come…
Lucio Dalla passed away and my family (especially my dad, a longtime acquaintance of his) has been seriously hit.
I also keep reminding myself of the person (and not the persona) Lucio… it’s hard, but his unbelievably awesome legacy as musician and artist will TRULY keep him alive for us all.
It won’t dry the tears, sure… but it’s a treasure still that we have and we will always have.
I chose this for Dalla tribute because it honors my favorite football player ever (no, you know it’s not Kaka’ ;)), the Divine Roberto Baggio, whom Lucio loved dearly, just as me:
Love, art, truth, research… inspiration.
All this makes LIFE worthwhile and Lucio was a master of this delicate balance like a very few people I’ve had the honor and the pleasure to meet in my life.
He will live forever (my favorite Oasis song right there ;), in my favorite video version):
Adam Levine and Anne V at 2012 Grammy Awards
About the topic of love and living forever… my friend Marghe has decided to stress me this whole morning about Adam Levine and Anne V. and the state of their relationship (like it’s any of our business…) because her skeevy “agent” Ali Kavoussi this past night has tweeted strange messages that in her opinion are jabs at Adam (who was in Cabo for golfing for the Haney Project, in a place FULL of Playboy chicks, allegedly, while she is in Paris for fashion duties, and that Kavoussi is there with her).
I don’t know.
My opinion of Kavoussi is really bad, due to what my dear BB has always claimed of him, and I believe he might have been one of those making the split rumor going around actually; but honestly… I don’t really care about any of that he said, because well… if Anne’s okay with that, why should strangers mind?
The celebrities’ lives are mostly foggy in reality; what we do know is often a well-carved surface that more often than not isn’t anywhere near the truth.
I hope they are fine and well, because I like and love them together but do I think we really have the true bites about them?
I don’t.
It never happens, especially in Tinseltown Universe.
Sure, Adam and Anne have paraded the state of their relationship post split rumors at the Grammys, and then with a (mostly hilarious to me, as I adore Howard) interview with Howard Stern:
Does this mean all is fine?
I hope so, since to me they should marry and gift the world with perfectly looking babies (Stern allegedly agrees), and I have always rooted for them from the start.
But then… that interview and the rest Adam has given those days in New York (or the look on her face those days, or his these recent days in Chicago for instance, at the Plot Your Escape event which showed him totally grunty – and that might have to do with Jesse not being in Maroon 5 anymore, but maybe not) in a way resonate with me as “We do love each other, but distance is a problem, so don’t get shocked when distance will part us off… love was great, but sometimes it doesn’t suffice” kind of preparatory explanation to be given to an audience that by now knows them as a couple, and would be someway disappointed by their split at this point.
I might be cynical there.
Well, I am cynical always ;).
But is this relationship of them really a problem for anybody other than them two?
NO.
I wish them to be together forever and happy and have the most beautiful birthday together soon, and for years to come… if it happens, I will be joyful; if they break up, well, I hope their lives will still be fine and stuff.
It’s not really a world class issue (but yeah, the genetics of the world would miss their possibly perfect off-springs, that would bother me a little ;)).
The fact that Maroon 5 line up is a mess, and they are not addressing Jesse’s departure (temporary? I doubt it but I hope so because to me Jesse IS Maroon 5), THAT is a problem to me instead.
But at least there is something involving them I like these days, and that is the new PJ Morton songs that features Adam and James (he sung it live a year ago, but now we have the recorded version with him and James and I really LOVE it, because when Adam goes soul I still adore him, no matter how many things I hate he’s now involved with):
In the end, all that I care for is MUSIC.
When that is good, the rest is just irrelevant.
And also when that is bad, the rest goes unnoticed.
I leave you musically then: because tomorrow Bruce Springsteen readies the album that will be THE album of the year and you gotta be worshipping the Boss:
I know I will.
WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN (but then all we need is also love, you know ;)).
Still trying to cope with getting back in regular-life territory after a wonderful three weeks break around the world, and a great weekend back with my beloved crew, I better try to update some of this blog.
I better?
I don’t know… maybe it’s just that waiting for tests to produce results can be very boring and today I got nothing better to do than update this, instead?
*considers the fact she is tired after a snowy weekend and the heart-wrenching Derby in San Siro, then checks her self-assumed state of boredom again to realize that ain’t the truth*;)
😉 Now things are manageable again 😉 and moreover every now and again I still like to show up round here and write a bit, for no particular reason.
Writing relaxes me, and somehow doing it clears my mind which is used to pace way too fast.
I won’t ever feel the update over here as a duty though so my reasons to open this and put some – virtual – ink at it are volatile, dependable and completely unpredictable.
I don’t come often, but I still?
I am also probably aging (EEEEEEKKKK!) though I perceive that only remotely sometimes (I still a party freak whenever chances come, of course, as this past weekend furtherly proved actually!); this means when I have spare times, 97% of chances are that I will love to focus on different things than staring at a pc to write stuff superfast (because writing DO relax me BUT I still produce that at my usual fast pace… that someway manages to slow me down inside… I know… *it’s complicated* 😉 like the whole rest of myself!).
Talking for a moment of aging, to be honest the only field where I perceive I’m aging is the one of sport.
But I need to clear water there: I keep being a daily sport practicer, and no way my body is aging there, nor my mind and focus… no, the field of disappointment (in myself) comes now that I am banned from waking up at nights to catch the Lakers live.
The only way I get to see Lakers live this year just as I did for this past Xmas
After last year’s labyrinthitis, I simply cannot do that anymore, and definitely not once every two days.
But watching Kobe still gives me emotional charge, and that works better when done straight when things happen (this year that might happen just like it did over the holidays, being there in person at Staples Center, which rocked especially with K, my father and his, in the best position namely the upper boots of the venue…)
Amidst all of Kobe’s personal life lows and mistakes, as long as he plays basketball with that drive and passionate and committed approach, united to his crystal clear class…
That’s all I look for on a basketball court (while still supporting HARD my homeboy Dani, who’s playing really fine so far!).
We're Past Xmas time...sadly 😉
Anyway, in case Kevin Durant wants to be traded to Lakers Land… well I won’t raise any hand in opposition.
He’s the only player I see capable of keeping up well after Kobe’s legacy: I don’t care for Howard (who’s already shaping up as a sort of a loser to me), or other names which are thrown this days around to Lakers’ ears – things that are bound to happen often when the season clearly won’t be a winning one, no matter how much I’d like it to be -.
I have even started to follow him on Twitter, just to explain how much I like him (and I follow very few people, so that means a lot in my world).
I have also started following Lana Del Rey because I am in love with her video and song “Born To Die” and “Videogames” , that made me fall hard for her crispy, deep, sexual voice.
I found her a cross among my dear Amy (forever missing), the amazing Shirley Manson (Garbage may be back soon… WHOOOO!) and Fiona Apple so I was all over her these past weeks BUT…
I am not here for artists who are good only in the studio: real music is LIVE (more on music later on ;))
San Francisco view from a privileged place 😉
Let’s get back to the past chronicles… During times in between last December and last week, I had the pleasure of taking along Swifty, my beloved horse, through all of our holidays spots (well, those houses are all family’s property, but I perceive them as holiday places, naturally yet).
He LOVED both of Karim’s houses (the one PALACE in San Fran, with the stables in their own park… awesome) and also the mansion in Paris (there the stables are a little out of reach, but he loved them anyway, and especially he didn’t really mind any of the airplane traveling. He likes to fly private just as much as I do ;)).
I had a truly special time abroad.
I fit marvelously in Karim’s family: they are always so sweet, kind and caring.
I love them, their way to be at once really upper class when it comes to interests and manners, but then really, really, REALLY down to Earth, true, and very gentle and polite with everyone so that they would never try to upstage regular folks just because they can out from their millions, positions and status.
I love this and I could have fit among them just that way.
And tragedies somehow pile up for our Country… not only the BBB rating (expected) from the S&P’s people will affect us for a bit, but so many things keep going in the wrong direction out of a strange and tenacious combination of destiny & bad humans’ choices.
I couldn’t even THINK at first when I got the news and even less after I saw the images.
Las Vegas NYE time was superbly sexy&fun&sharp
So much pain, and so much wrong, and so much unacceptability.
What was the Commander in Chief FUCKING thinking?
Then he abandoned the ship sinking PRIOR to many of the guests???
I can’t fathom my despise.
So I won’t.
But hopefully all these signs of fuckery all over the world aren’t a sign of the Mayans creepy prophecy (that, needless to say, I absolutely DON’T BELIEVE in), because I have way too many things to accomplish yet in my life and I moreover am always optimistic in the things that have yet to come.
The “Universe Countdown” just cannot happen while I’m alive, please and thank you (this is my ego speaking and I love it).
Anyway I’m trying to pack the year 2012 with LOTS of amazing experiences already, so in case I’m wrong… I’ll have lived it to its fullest.
And you know, that for me mostly mean two things: TRAVELING & MUSIC.
Those weeks I will be in Los Angeles and California for three weeks again (for life & work) so it’s all perfect… also because guess who’s gonna be at LA venues as well?
COLDPLAY!!!!!
we had a blast in vegas
Amazing.
All my tickets in and I can’t wait 😉
Ah!
Don’t get me wrong I still LOATHE the pastiche that Mylo Xyloto is (hard) especially now that with Charlie Brown being the third single they have no more left of good songs in the album to promote (they used already the only three up to Coldplay usually flawless high standards), but whatever they play, live they are awesome (as Rock In Rio furtherly proved to me).
Too bad next in line for them is that TERRIBLE and commercialized whoring-up partnership with Rihanna, that created the cringe-worthy Princess of China.
Mark my words: that Princess Of China song will sell a LOT, it will boast Coldplay just when they will be touring USA in Spring and make the only single of Mylo Xyloto to reach top ten and maybe (probably) the top of Billboard. But that won’t change the fact the song is LAME. LAME. LAME.
Chris knows what it gets to get spotlight, and the song is so bubble gum pop it will surely please the dumb masses enough to be a super hit… but in all that, half of my esteem for the once un-mistaking Four Kings went way downhill artistically.
Still love them of course… but this year Coldplay just like Maroon 5 did decided to step down from my pedestal due to the wrong turning towards a famewhoring attitude that is affecting their artistic credits.
The only other winner I’d take would obviously be Amy, but I don’t like the fact she sings a cover (same problem I have with the Black Keys‘s chosen song).
Paradise is the most deserving song in that lot; I consider Foster The People an overrated & way less talented copy of the Dandy Wharols crossing Phantom Planet, so I really wouldn’t like them to win even though that song is cute & catchy, while about Moves Like Jagger…
Dear Lord… the song is the most generic Maroon 5 have ever been.
I can’t expect well with the fact that song could be their return to Grammy win because if it’d happen we would get a fourth album filled with Benny Blanco’s type of unremarkable crap & I can’t take it.
Maroon 5 are (or were? Let’s hope they still ARE) so, so, SO much better than that.
Just listen to these songs that they did for charity compilations (the first and the last out of this mix of songs in the collage – with the always adorable Anne V, which I keep continuatively love – I did for Margherita and Serena’s M5 related blog), and I hope like me you will wish they get back to THIS and not praise such reductive crappy songs like MLJ or SH (please, let’s be serious… Pitbull could have sang those… Yikes!):
Error
This video doesn’t exist
I want their soulful and funky and NO AUTOTUNED talents back in full display and I fear it wouldn’t happen if a Grammy would rise for a song of Moves Like Jagger type (which I think still possible to happen, actually I think if the commissioners won’t praise the late Amy Winehouse, MLJ is the frontrunner for victory due to its astonishingly huge sales).
So what if Moves Like Jagger sold a shitload?
Sales means zero regarding artistry (see Katy Perry streak of number ones with less than a sub-par album).
Moves Like Jagger is a hugely popular song that is by far surpassed by almost anything else on Hands All Over (which I love and I find shameful it only went platinum after & due to MLJ, which became popular probably only due to the overexposure of Adam in *that dreadful tv thing*, and consequent fangirls’ screaming about how he’s HOT!!!! – which he surely is but that’s not the point in buying his music, darn…).
Sure, so far it has gained Maroon 5 an incredible limelight… they just won again an award (a People’s Choice one, which means they really are popular at the moment), they are candidated also at the Brits, they got multiple certifications and stuff going but… I want back quality, not quantity.
QUALITY, because they were so capable there, better than any other in group pop music, and now all that seems worthy is Adam’s hotness?
Sure, just look at him this past night at the Golden Globes, he’s FINER than FINE but… I want him back to willing to be a fantastic singer, not the one tasteless ordals of last-minute fans worship due to the fact he’s on a lame tv show and is “hot”.
He should dress formal any day. Adam Levine wins any competition for FINEST SPECIMEN at this past night Golden Globes Red Carpet. Lord.
For God’s sake Adam get back to your roots (but still wear tuxedos cos you’re flawless when well dressed… Lord Almighty you are), because out of the many blessings Nature gave you the first is your unique voice and your ability to touch inner chords of souls everywhere when you pour your own spirit in your songs, and forget to chase fame in the easiest way just because you’re also – it happens so – handsome and that comes easy in our society for folks like you.
Well, I hope 2012 sees the rise back of Maroon 5 (read Adam) and Coldplay (read… Coldplay ;)) back up in that pedestal they used to share in my world, things that will happen when they get rid of some nasty habit they seems keen with at the moment.
Do I have to call up the Mayans for it or…?
Okay 😉
Let’s find a deal: I know there’s still a pure artistic art in each one of you guys, so just show it soon again and I will be really happy.
I’m not asking much after all (lol ;)!).
Shizzzz it’s late and my tests are done!!! Therefore… hugs everybody, my logorrhoea produced the effect of making me forget totally about Milan’s loss.
Mission accomplished then: so thank you and catch you later again ;).
Ready to roll out to enjoy a wonderful day in Sn Fran, and to buy some Xmas/Chanukah gifts (Mash!!!! landing yours at Staples on Xmas ;)) here I am writing a small post…
I LOVED this ad!!! I. Want:!!!
This is probably my last one of the year… and I was held about writing this as well, because in the last day and half I flew half of the world and I’m prepared to have a wonderful Xmas time in California, an amazing (I’m sure it will be) New Years Eve in Las Vegas, and then I’ll be heading towards Paris to keep feeling blessed and in love (thank you life… I’ve probably been a saint or something in my previous one to get so much this time around? ;)).
This time I got Swifty flying with me 😉 He’s seemingly enjoying the new surroundings and apparently he reacted better than me to the jet lag (but he was chemically helped…).
What to say?
I’m super grateful for this mesmerizing year… For the way my family and my new family are lovely together (and both are with each one of us… and trust, K&I really wanted this to happen, because we’re very much fond of our families: they are our roots and force, indeed).
So happy to have still best friends ever, and really grateful to reckon my married status hasn’t changed a thing in the balances of “the crew”.
It’s important to keep things this way for me.
So, was this year perfect?
Well, not.
But this gives room for the new year to even TOP this one.
I like it like this.
Lakers. The Only Team.
Sadly I am fearing one piece of the “let’s top this year in the new one” puzzle won’t be fitting.
I wanna avoid to extensively post my thoughts in full over the blog (that’s why I waited to write, actually) about the sham against MY LAKERS, because otherwise this post would turn out to be the greatest cursing treaty of all times, but…
WTF (in Italian: ECCHECAZZZZZZZZZZO) ?!!!????!!!!!??????
So, even if this will be an incredible chaos in organizing, for Xmas we are gonna fly in the booth of Staples Center (in helicopter, as you know we have one) to experience the game and then immediately fly back in San Francisco to enjoy the festivities.
My dad can’t wait 😉
So… thinking that I seem to have a certain “good star” up above… can I formulate my Xmas wish to involve somehow my beloved Lakers?
Dear Santa, Baby Jesus, and Dear Great One: I’m not asking anything especially for me, cos really I have way more than a girl can dream (and I used always to dream BIG, so that means something…); it’s not for me that I’m pledging now.
Merry Xmas!
It’s for an army of fans and supporters that share with the little me this burning Lakers passion.
Please… let this season surprise us all FOR THE BETTER.
Let us never fall apart.
Let us grow stronger.
It’d be… that slight improvement on 2011 that I would REALLY look out for in the new year.
Okay.
I hope I can be heard 😉
And to everyone around… Happy Xmas to you all and to your beloveds.
Catch you in the New Year so…
PARTY HARD & RESPONSIBLY.
It seems sort of an oxymoron, but I strongly believe it’s not.
No rain falling… but lots of things to be happy about for this gal, who’s spending her morning time all tied up and nakedly merged with the most awesome creature ever.
My Karim.
My love.
Miami time rocked.
I won’t say “my life”, cos my life is so much other than just another person, no matter how amazing, but… “the highlight of my life” is pretty okay when speaking of him.
In a short amount of hours – well, tomorrow – I’ll be jumping again on our little (not so little) private plane (am I saying “ours”? It’s not. It’s Karim’s uncle one but he’s gonna be family soon… he already is ;)) and heading to the Land of my Joy, Japan along our families and closest relatives.
Our friends are also coming from literally all the world, as we have arranged flights and staying for them as well, for an entire WEEK.
Shiooooot I’m gonna marry.
Who would have believed it?
So many thoughts and feelings, but in so many ways this month-long partying all over the world (if you follow my twitter, you know what I’m talking about… ) felt like a celebration of my life and my friends and family ties, all heading, merging and mashing towards an event that somehow is gonna re-shape them all.
Enforcing them all.
Re-birthing them all.
We had an amazing and well-shared fun… we had mega parties in multiple towns all over Europe and US… we had CRAZY bachelorette parties and bachelor’s one (but we weren’t there so… I can’t judge ;)) we had very satisfying sexual plays (you know I’m mastering those, and kinky’s my second name), we went to Hamptons, we did sail in yacht and had amusing family time, we flew through Miami and had luxury treatments, we moved West Coast to enjoy friends and Maroon 5 (and Stevie Wonder, for me and Karim only pleasure though) at the Hollywood Bowl (nice, but somehow I couldn’t digest the presence and the flair of the Fuckery The Voice’s guest Javier Colon, who’s a good singer but nowhere he ever touched any inner chord of mine, sorry… Luckily the amazing Stevie Nicks saved the feeling of my night and somehow helped me re-assessing my good feeling with Maroon 5 and Adam), then we had fun in Catalina (ziplining rocks!!) in place of Las Vegas, before friends head back to Europe and their Usa’s place and only K&I enjoyed time with our families reunited first in his hometown (Love San Fran to death) and then here, in Paris, where we are takin off from in just a little while more.
Stevie Nicks bit was awesome…overall though I like Maroon 5 better in smaller venues; and what you will hear Adam say later on in a video that I will upload explains why (his voice is amazing but too thin sometimes for stadium sized venues).
yesterday night. Lovely Paris
Back on marriage though…
It’s funny because I still feel like marriage, whose concept is surrounding us from weeks and weeks, amidst dozens of references, bookings and plans, ain’t my thing.
I didn’t need it.
Somehow I still don’t.
I would have lived perfectly without it… it doesn’t add a thing to my life and my love BUT it does to my lover’s one and that’s why I agreed to marry him.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m putting myself 1000% behind this step (in my own way, which Karim knows and approves and love).
It’s just that I don’t necessarily thing it adds or detracts a thing to a relationship.
Marriage is mostly a way society of only A PART of the world and only from selected historical sections of it has found to preserve conventional tranquility.
Often actually damaging the reality of relationship statuses, teaching how to deceit, how to lie, how to be hypcrital just for a void “sake of the institution of it”, alienated longtime from the real FEELING of it instead.
I have been lucky to have gotten great examples of marriages working around me, firstly in my own family but I have never been naive about that.
Philosophy, History, concepts of Law and abiding of that have taught me much other things and all not flattering about the “sanctity” of marriage.
In a way I agree with what Adam declared about it on a very beautiful interview he did last week with Piers Morgan on CNN.
It’s a very beautiful interview that I’m willing to post here in its entirety (with my usual styled add-ons) because it marked in many ways my re-acceptance of him fully post Hollywood Bowl gig (though sorry, I will still NEVER approve of his choice to be on a reality tv competition, and I will never watch a thing of it until I have breath, no matter how into it he genuinely seems, also from this interview):
Anyway, back on the reason of my likings of this interview, which links to my pre-marriage status.
Yes, I see how marriage and real love or good relationship truly have never had much to share or depend on to.
A real happy relationship doesn’t need marriage, as much as marriage won’t in any way guarantee anything about the good output of a relationship.
What matters are love, respect, sincerity, acceptance, care, interests, clicking, out-sights about life – they don’t necessarily have to be coming from the same point, but have to be heading in the same direction – and sexual correspondences.

Love is important; in the sense without it not much else can give the same satisfaction.
Look: I’m talkin love in the widest of senses, not only or just the romantic/sugarly kind of it.
Love is love of a family and friends and the general skill in makin another feels that you have a heart beating for them.
In any form.
I have always thought empathy is a key to a good relationship: you gotta try and understand another point of view…
People never think “all the same”, and especially that never applies to “everything”, nor “under every circumstance”.
Love doesn’t measure at all over that, and in fact many successful links and bonds survive just because they are existing among very different people.
It’s the outreaching and the willingness to outreach to join another one’s dimension that gives the measure of your love for that person.
And it’s all but easy or given; which is why not many relationship are often that successful after a while, given the different level of passion and enthusiasm about one another that forcefully time sets in.
You gotta put so much work in any bond for it to survive, evolve and broaden.
But I do believe relationship can be eternal, if they apply to change and remain SINCERE and true.
Fairy tales don’t exist.
Hard work does.
You may think I’m cold but trust me I’m very happy and joyous instead.
These joyous days for instance though have been also worsened by a tragic news: Amy Winehouse died alone and sad out of her misery and solitude.
It’s horrifying that no love could help her loneliness and heal her wounded soul.
And therefore we lost one of the brightest talents EVER in popular music:
So sad nobody helped her quest for true love; that would have saved her, and her amazing songwriting ability to keep blessing our lives too:
That’s what I meant when I say love is important, and the key for anyone’s life.
Catalina's bliss!
I found it… and in some lil time I’ll be walkin down a beautiful aisle, with the most amazing family and friends, in the most amazing other Country ever (which is LOVE for me, too), all dressed in white (creamy white, camon) to join my path along the most amazing man who ever walked down this planet.
Don’t expect personal pictures to surface though… and so no guests will be allowed to share them (ehi… our bodyguards can be tough… lol!).
Private times are sacred for us, but you will get a glimpse and a stream of joy that’s for sure, because happiness is ruling me so much I can’t avoid to share it 🙂
Karim… I love you.
I promise you will never regret putting that ring on me.
See you after Japan bliss… keep checking twitter if you wanna look out for more 😉
Incoming bride Miss Z. salutes you…and what will I be after? Missus Z.?
Maybe 😉
Take care and have a great August everybody 🙂 I leave you with the return of >The Chief!!!
Hail to Noel Gallagher and his beautiful Death Of You And Me from High Flying Birds‘ incoming record – that of course I already pre-ordered.
Enjoy!:
PS: I finally agreed in doing something for Marghe and Serena and their Maroon 5 dedicated blog that I host 😉 BUT… I will just put up things… THOSE things… without editing. because for edit them I’d have to watch em and NO WAY 😉 Yes… I keep being in denial of that and pissed off on the whole Fuckerything.
Wait some hours days. We’ll work on that in Japan I guess 😉 from on the plane ;).
That will help chase away tinglings probably… ouch?
Sounds like I am turning bridezilla???
One of Karim's amazing gifts made out of fresh roses, in honor of my own name 🙂
I just want to express my joy for having been part (again!!!) of the amazingness that is Glastonbury Festival.
Random thoughts coming in shuffle…
Forget the unchained-ly awkward stream of observations… time is strict but I like it (three more days at lab and then is PRE-MARRIAGE PARTY MONTH…. *All Around The World*!!!!).
So, back at K&I amazing Glasto days.
Perks:
Coldplay.
Coldplay. (;)) (they were so great even weather held up again for them… just like at Heineken Jammin. Plus, new songs are FANTASTIC!!!)
Primal Scream (whoooo!!!)
Hurts (we planned our private flight right after them… I couldn’t care less of Beyoncé ;))
Mumford&Sons (overall EXCELLENCE live)
Janelle Monae (perfection… she was WAY better than Jessie J, who wasn’t bad anyway)
Tinie Tempah (my possible new hip hop crush… musically only cos he’s VERY short ;))
Morissey (crazyhead, but sparkling).
Weather surprisingly decent (for Glasto standard)
Camping in the fields!!! (awesome. I mean… K&I and a tiny tent? Amazing. We made friends in incognito ;))
Downsides:
Not having believed the rumor that Radiohead would be performing on Friday, therefore skipping at changing stages to try them. ARGH! Forever sad Zaira 😦
Not having been able (for time schedule) to watch Queens Of The Stone Age (damn!)
I realized I couldn’t care less of watching U2… because their latest album really was one of the biggest disappointment ever to me.
The mess of the dead body @ camps, and the protestors (don’t ruin a festival with politics, ever?)
The trouble at finding clear water…
The fact too many good acts again were playing overlapped, and you couldn’t have the full best from the schedule.
iPhone substitutive batteries: way too short on charge.
The price of private bathrooms (REALLY?????)
Way too many weirdos, and way too drunk (even for the notoriously DIFFERENT UK standards ;))
Press passes people trying to hitting on me way too hard. Karim at a certain point had to *politely* (NOT) lift from their ground a pair of the most annoying. 😉
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.
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!!!!).
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!!!
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 😉
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 ;)).
This post can come now, after a very rough patch that I have hit somewhere around the past 40 hours (well, it has stopped being bad since yesterday, actually…).
Song and routine we are preparing for my birthday bash (and DJs are gonna play what we… what I ask of course ;)) is this one (Xaro’s choice is approved!!!):
This is the way I felt. Even though what I wrote really isn’t describing a thing at all.
I spent the Monday glooming it down.
I had to move to ride Swifty and spent the night at MY house because I needed to feel… in my place.
I react so wrong to death…
All my science faith, all my logic… all my approach to the brightest and fullest side of life disappear when I confront myself with THE pain.
I don’t mean nor mind dying MYSELF: as I write in my profile here, I try to live my life in a way that I wouldn’t mind dying the next day, because it is the journey which matters.
I stand by that.
What destroys me about the death concept is when it afflicts those around me.
Sometimes I get affected even by those of celebrities (that I don’t generally care much for) when it happens that I did meet them in the flesh… Like for instance Liz Taylor, when I was living in London and she got Knighted by the Queen.
But yeah… the death affects me clearly when it’s about MY people. My crew. My world.
The people whom I care of, or just… the people that to me makes this world a better world, well… To see those people leaving forever leave me numb and shaking.
Gotta preserve myself for marriage times (but on playoffs I’ll be there…), so that’s why I hadn’t the faintest idea about Rick’s conditions getting to the final strain.
I know and I am sure he forgave me up there where he is…
But still I had such a gloomy mood those past days.
Then I just wrote to a couple of lovely and caring friends (Lass&Marco) and Karim’s care these two nights once again did the miracle of putting me at a deep ease.
Yesterday dinner in Milan was just wonderful: not only because we dearly love the place and its chef… but because we sexed it all up starting from the Restaurant and keeping it all along into an amazing core of the starry night.
Even though we do realize it ain’t exactly the right time to be there (Hanami isn’t really a feast this tragic year) to plan our great day, we die to be there exactly right now to try to HELP the Country we both feel so close to.
It’s very special this link we furthermost share, between us.
We love Japan with our whole heart and even though Kyoto seems mostly unaffected by tsunami, it definitely it’s affected like the whole Country by the nuclear scare.
But Governments don’t agree (we see their point, we’re not dumb); and our families as well aren’t up for this (and Karim’s one… you know… it’s also THE Government in a way).
In case April trip can’t be made, and if our will won’t prevail, my birthday week will be spent in Miami.
Even though I’d prefer it to be somewhere else (Miami kinda bores me).
Yeah, I’ll tan.
I actually face a very LONG tanning time this year: I will be free from work from end of June, and having the whole of July to get preppied and up for the marriage; then August… it’s OUR month.
Be ready world, cos you’re gonna be ours!
We’re very… ready and up and thrilled and yes… in love.
In fact I’m so calm and peaceful now I have even agree with Marghe in doing something she can’t do.
Assured that I WON’T EVER post a DAMN thing about the Voice of Fuckery of America and that I still deeply against anything (and ANYONE) related to it, there are other activities of someone I’m still trying not to consider these days (until that Fuckery show isn’t ended in all of its startin, making and finishing parts) that I will somehow cover here, at least for today, so that my friend can later link this I am about to post in her own blog (their own blog… sorry Serena I forgot you ;)).
I didn’t want to do this but Marghe says there’s no way she can upload this material that I had already prepared for her (her site account doesn’t allow that) and MOREOVER (that is actually the true reason I post this up) the result of what you’re gonna see is a CLEAR reference to Anne, and Anne still at the top of my likings so…
Okay.
I did this for you but it’s a one in a million event okay babs?
The quality of audio and video is poor and there are talk-overs that I didn’t even tried to edit/customize (no way I wanna waste time on them these days, not until that Fuckery awful NBC show which involves Adam still going), and the pieces that I cut together and patched are only 4 hours (out of the more than 9 that I have been sent), including the composition of the Youtube parts, but I’m sure many of you will enjoy this nonetheless.
It’s a cute song, even though to me its most relevant quality it has is that it speaks CLEARLY of Anne (and I love that… I adore the line where it goes “I won’t let anybody hurt you, and I’d hurt whoever tries to” or something… that’s very lovely to tell to your lover), and it has a very deserved feature in PJ Morton (about time!).
I am not really hit by it, but it’s a cute song, sure.
So this is part 1:
Error
This video doesn’t exist
And this is part 2:
Error
This video doesn’t exist
See?
Don’t expect me to start as I used to to chronicle what Adam did this past weeks because I won’t.
All I will post (because I am ready to honor Anne instead: I still dedicate chunks of my posts to her because she has never disappointed me 😉 AH!) of *that guy who let true music lovers down lately* is this picture collage that I made to test my new Hipstamatic packs and apps (LOVE Hipstamatic to pieces!!!):
Anne V and Adam Levine perfect couple
And now as I said, I’ll finish honoring Anne (who’s awesome); first take a look at my video (with awesome soundtrack) of her Victoria’s Secret 2011 PINK campaign:
Error
This video doesn’t exist
And then take this patchwork of her H&M advertising campaign (when I saw the one out of our MTV with her cute cute smile I squealed… she’s SO adorably cute there!):
Error
This video doesn’t exist
Then enjoy her Sports Illustrated 2011 little lovely video:
Error
This video doesn’t exist
And to end it all, (if you read Russian… ;)) enjoy this beautiful article a friend send to me , which I could grab because Karim was so gentle to read it to me in Italian (of course he does know Russian… the darn fact he knows more languages than I do kills my ego ;)):
Anne V celebratory article for her birthday on March 19th 2011
I didn’t congratulate Adam on his birthday (for obvious reasons, of course: feeling him zero these days it wouldn’t have made sense, right) on March 18th but I happily congratulated Anne instead on March 19th ;)…
The above Russian article was in fact a little homage to her, even though in the article she says she has very little left of her Russian roots in terms of friends and hanging out.
But she luckely mantains the STUNNING Russian look that is her distinctive shine!
Italians think Russians are the most beautiful females in the world (that is why I wrote that sentence above), and I am completely agreeing with my Countrymen there.
Right… I guess it’s all.
My birthday is incoming and next time I’ll write here I will write about where my party took place at.
