So… Gaining some time after reunion with husband, as works almost ends and I have a couple minutes to spend online.
Yesterday has been an utterly unreplicable experience of re-meeting.
We shut phones down, and we didn’t leave each other’s bodies for hours.
And hours.
And hours.
And this morning we replicated. What a holy situation of bliss…
It truly has been fantastic, and you must know by now my standards are really tough to meet, and match, especially continuously, in the lovemaking department.
But yes… this man can outdo himself (and me) so much, so greatly, all the times… that I couldn’t have married anybody else, really (without him I don’t think I would have married at all. Marriage was supposed to NOT be my thing at all, he fought to make my mind change there and it did JUST because of him).
I think I had to be someone really good and great in my previous times here because that’s the only way that can explain all of my blessings in this current passage over Mother Earth.
Truth.
But let’s try to be understandable.
It has been so hard to fly back from New York alone, as he had to fly to Berlin for work instead, and I couldn’t give up to my own work commitments to follow him as I had hoped to (I love Berlin, but it seems always when I have to be there, Karim can’t follow me (not all the time) and when I am too taken, he has to be there, again alone).
I had an incredible hard time in not merging with his skin for almost five entire days.
You know me… I develop an incredibly bad mood if I can’t have daily sexual activities, and the Skype/cybersexual/kinky online stuff we nonetheless did just couldn’t even remotely match the way we have flawless, amazing sex together (some of you would call it making love… but it doesn’t work for me cos we make AWESOME SEX while being in utter love. We’re just so totally fitting one another’s wild dreams there, the “making love” thing seems just not enough to describe us ;). Then to me sex is one of the greatest things ever, if not THE greatest thing ever and it works just better if love is involved but you know… it can function very well even when love isn’t.).
So my days Karim-deprived were telling me right now I really feel our lives are a UNITE thing.
Not that my friends haven’t been great to be with me and make me happy while I was alone in Milan.
Contrariwise: they were all amazing.
I still believe any person has to be an individuality FIRST, so even when alone, I of course am capable of having fun, be cheerful, do my own stuff and have satisfaction.
It’s just that now that I can’t enjoy out of coupling sexual encounters (faithful, I promised and I mantain, unless we decide ourselves to be open and let somebody sneak in… but that are for very selected people, and generally my own Valentine wild card that Karim has learnt to love and appreciate…) that energetic fulfilling need that I daily have stay someway caged in, making me… feeling appetites I can’t let go.
And from there, it comes some of that bad mood above.
Thank above all my friends know me enough to understand where it comes from, and they are able to forgive me and cheer me and uplift me when things like that happen (some will still offer themselves for some revival of my amazing wild days of friendly benefiting, but by now they do know those days are gone, but always dear to my heart and memory… and somewhere other parts of my body too ;))
My crew is awesome: they know me and so they really took care of me.
We had a quiet night out, because the tragedy in Genova just didn’t call for wild antics out; then we had an awesome clubbing night, sessions of weekend shopping, dinner out with just my gals, and sporty stuff (Milan in San Siro is always good).
But… maybe I am just growin up… I don’t know.
It seemed to me that all the fun I had wasn’t complete still, without not a single moment of me gazing into Karim’s eyes and smelling his skin.
I had fun dancing, I had fun turning down the usual plethora of guys and men tryin to catch my attention (some were cute and also classy…and as usual some kept on trying no matter my note that I wasn’t up for anything, or that I was married. Marriage doesn’t discourage any hunter, I know ;)), and I had the most awesome time of chitty chat with my best friends…
But missing Karim was hard.
I can’t wait for next trip together: it will be in Russia for the end of the month when we will be in Saint Petersburg and Moscow for partly the Maroon 5 gigs over there and partly to celebrate in a very strange fashion a far away Thanksgiving with our families (let’s just call it a reason to celebrate, why not ;)… as we all adore art, I can tell you the place we look the most to be at is OBVIOUSLY The Ermitage :)!
Our time in New York was pretty much all ours; yep, we met with grandmother but mainly we enjoyed our new apartment in the Upper West Side (LOVE IT!!!) just a shot away from The Beacon Theater, Riverside and Lincoln Center.
Gosh I love our house there so much!
We went to Letterman too and enjoyed at the same time (they were taping two episodes) Justin Timberlake (well, not that I really like him at all, and he SUX as actor still), the awesome The Civil Wars, and then the subsequent taping JOHNNY friggin DEPP and the someway disappointing Foster the People.
We also had the great pleasure of being invited by lovely beauty Brooke Shields at her Broadway show and enjoy the cast company quite after it, and we also went to watch another piece, Mamma Mia!, as New York was preparing to find some snow hours later.
Then the whole of Soho (where some very good friends reside) and the night outs, The Chelsea Piers, dinners at the Top of The Sky…
Oh, New York!!!
As an European, I’ll never be tired of saying it, NY IS the city… I meanI love California and I love to have a house there, but California love expresses itself fully towards the entire Country, while talking about TOWNS, New York just BE IT.
We couldn’t obviously remain these latest few days so we missed Saturday Night Live on the 5th November (too bad, episode is hilarious and yes, I actually enjoyed Maroon 5 there even though I still only moderately like both Moves Like Jagger and Stereo Hearts):
Today we were actually invited to be witnessing the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, where Anne walks and Maroon 5 (and KANYE!!!!!) will perform; but honestly, I will happily content myself with watching it on tv, because I feel not any urge of crazy fandom by now.
I still obviously love Maroon 5, but I can live with missing them sometimes.
It doesn’t nor wouldn’t hurt me anymore at all, like it used to when they used to be flawlessly epic to me, and therefore any missing of their “existence” would have felt like a deprive to my soul.
Now, I am a fan that likes and loves and praises, but not longer completely adores and worships them, pros and cons no matter what.
This makes me somebody who has a number of huge likes in music, but not anymore a devoted and 110% fan of ANYBODY (still, I have my list of likes that I can put in a numbered list, and the top positions still always the same, even without worshipping I presume).
But there’s a thing that they did this past week that I truly loved that involved Maroon 5, and that thing was a chat they did for z100NY radio where Adam confessed his fandom for my other favorite band (and they still them two who keeps being my favorite, no matter Moves Like Jagger, Mylo Xyloto mistakes of various sorts and crimes against music, bad reality tv shows The Voice shame), namely Coldplay (I also adores that he gives hints about Rock In Rio, a gig that I adored to attend to, for both bands).
Watch it because it’s so cute (in its entirety, actually, not merely the part where he talks about Coldplay, or when he rightly defends his position against those idiots of Fox News, for instance):
Talking about idiots, politics and douchebags – all things that apply to Fox News and anybody trusting that racist, angsty uninforming trash – , and I use the term way too generously, in Italy that stupid criminal Berlusconi is keeping us hanging while the Country falls apart, drowns itself under water, generally struggles to survive and he still speaking like everything’s fine and like he actually has a voice to raise to make things better.
Can he die already, please?
I mean… NATURALLY (he’s old enough, isn’t he?).
I think Rino Gaetano said it best (it’s scary how this song works now like it did decades ago…):
I really hope my Country can raise the bar, raise its head up and start understanding to be OKAY, to be fine, to be respected and trusted you gotta WORK, be responsible, be true, be HONEST and never give up to ANY of these things.
We have more brain and more talent and more strength than we think; and the fact so many in this Country believed in a rotten, fake, poisoning and poisoned criminal’s “fairy tale” has brought this amazing place on the verge of despare, and bankruptcy.
I know we won’t permit this any longer.
So… as I keep being blessed and happy… I hope my generation will provide the great energy to start a new and better chapter for many, and for all the Italians too.
John Lennon wasn’t the only dreamer.
Last song I post, makes me remember New York in the sweetest way:
Have you all a great time.
The happiest woman on this planet. Ever 😉
Missus Z. 🙂
My 2011 Sporty Tao: Milan and Lakers
Posted 9 May 2011

So, yesterday my Sporty Fan Year for 2011 officially ended.
If you know or follow me, either here on through my twitter you know I am a fan (and a devoted practicer) of many sports: I love tennis, swimming, horseback riding, volleyball.
I regularly practice them all and add yoga, pilates, general fitness to the list; but when it comes to my way to be a sporty fan, you know I have only 2 teams: MilanAC for football, and Los Angeles Lakers for basketball.
And once again, my two passions couldn’t go hand in hand in celebratory mood at the end of this season, as it has happened a lot lately (for a certainly consistent amount of years, in fact).
So, as you MUST know, Milan won his 18th Scudetto on Saturday (we were in Florence and we found even there Milanists celebrating… super cool!!!), and yesterday we celebrated back in Milan with friends (even NOT Milan supporters, aren’t we kind or what?), waiting for the REAL celebration on incoming Saturday in San Siro (I can’t friggin wait!) happy and chanting and all dressed in Red&Black (they are my two favorite colors anyway 😉 so that’s pretty easy for me to pick up stylish stuff in my closet ;)) first in downtown Milano and then at Karim’s pad – he still lukewarm about this whole “soccer”thing, but he loves to party along at least ;).
I still believe the team is far from amazingly assembled; and Champions League‘s struggles totally proved my point (and you all know Milanists only care about Champions… so a Scudetto is great, but not nearly as great. FACT).
But I loved the way we played with the good attitude in this Serie A and no matter how we weren’t flawless we managed to be sufficiently consistent when the falling off of our opponents opened a wide door for us to pass through and reach a valuable goal.
The struggles are important; my Japanese-shaped working ethic implies that only from battling the greatest things eventually come.
I salute you Milan: you did extremely well with the little you’ve got: now please try to get what we need for getting another Champions because we’re so far away from Manchester United and Barcelona‘s amazing level that it will take a revolution for us to be competetive again where it ONLY does matter.
My award of the year for Milan goes to Allegri.
I don’t have a player to honor… because they were not that great honestly, but he did a great job in not making the cracks show too often or too long to taunt Milan’s legacy in Serie A this year and trust… that requested skills.
Managing a team that shows clearly flaws requests so many good qualities even to begin detailing them is hard.
It requests psychological understanding, charisma, strength, motivational impulses; you have to be patient, you have to get foresight, you have to be cool and clear in your vision and you often have to hide in an unreachable part the most logical essence of you, without letting it disappear, to keep pushing people who are not what you would like them to be, but who are those you need to shape and ameliorate to reach a target which is skipping out of your grab like a ball bouncing, if you don’t set the record straight at multiple times in a season, in multiple ways.
This makes a good link to pass the torch to the Dark Side of my Sporty Tao for 2011.
While Milan is the light part, with a dark core, Lakers sadly have been the Dark side, with what I think still is a luminous inmost part.
I am so blunt and angry we gave up THIS HORRIBLE WAY to Cuban… But I could never give up on my Lakers pride.
Which is acknowledged by the Lakers themselves.
Even more angry that this probably means LeBronze will finally get a ring.
If they pass Celtics (and odds are 60% to me now… even though I still consider Celtics a way better team than Heat, where I only consider Dwade a superior player), sadly the NBA has them as frontrunners: I don’t see Mavs surviving any of the East teams to be honest and OKC seem still so very young and naive (but I’d love to be proved wrong).
But really, it’s months that I don’t feel this had to be (or could be) our year.
In all this, know one fact: PHIL JACKSON IS THE GREATEST COACH / MANAGER EVER.
I am desperate we will lose him.
His way to be what he is is what I think basketball strategy and play should be; I’m a Triangle devoted and I love the Sun-Tzu‘s quality of this game approach and no other coach will ever give that back to me, once Phil’s gone.
What makes me sad in the way Lakers lost this year, is the fact we waved Phil goodbye with a never-happened-before humiliatingly received SWEPT.
That is awful.
I was speechless yesterday whenever cameras would show Phil’s face on Dallas’ homecourt.
You could see his dignity shining, and I couldn’t believe the history of sport had to have THAT slap as final gift to one of the greatest people EVER in the whole of world’s sport legacies.
He didn’t deserve it and we shouldn’t have allowed it.
But truth is we couldn’t stop it.
For the year that has gone, I never ever felt we were having that clutch quality to us anymore; it hurts me because if you have followed me these years, you know how much I have always had that sureness about our games, even in times when everybody but Kobe and Derek probably would have given up on us (last year’s 7th game for instance) I JUST KNEW.
But this year that inexplicable faith wasn’t there.
I never felt we could move mountains.
I never felt Kobe was there to save us, this year.
And it hurt. It hurts.
I worship Kobe, and I have this trust in him which is unparalleled and still so it was a shock for me to realize I wasn’t believing he could always have saved us in this season.
But we will get back on top, and so will Kobe, and it will happen just thank of this huge demise (because this is what happened this year… a bounderless demise).
I was scared at the start of the year, when we seemed unstoppable, to realize we hadn’t apparent faults (see above post dedicated to Milan); because no team is perfect, and it has not to be, especially from the start.
You gotta perfect your game, and ask things to yourself to get constantly better and focused in a season; and to start up so easily didn’t put any of us in the right state of mind.
And you don’t get a right state of mind easily, especially as a two time defender champion, if nothing rings a bell in time…
We had to wake up and see incredible losses and blackouts: but unlike previous years, out from mistakes we weren’t growing; we seemed to recycle mistakes in new combination, and never get past them by evolving through them.
I don’t think it was a chemistry issue: in fact I still think we were a BETTER built team than past years; it was I believe a trust issue, but not in the way it sounds when I say it.
I’ll try to explain, because it makes me feel less pain inside to analyze things.
I still a scientist, you know.
What stopped us this year, was a mental rely that we had in our skills; we past so many battles the past three years, that the players faced an hard time in not feeling able to revolve things anyway, at a certain point.
It’s more than complacency, and it’s not only complacency.
It’s a mental way of the body and the mind to save energies by getting through known and experienced paths that have already worked.
Somehow this year we missed the chance of discovering a new way to be great, and by the time that further quality we should have chased and developed had tp be there to make us win, we simply… hadn’t “IT”.
And you cannot invent it at the moment.
I don’t claim this lack of craft as a conscious process, otherwise I’d BLAME my players hard; I think it’s a fine psychological balance the one of the achieving athlete, to try to squeeze the best out of himself, and resetting every time the past, although everyone claims they’re able to, is actually the most unbearable of things to be done.
Every time.
Then there is the real physical struggle: to reach for the FOURTH year straight a final series is something hugely demanding.
There is no comparable efforts in team sports: and simply, this year it couldn’t be done.
It couldn’t.
The way some of our players played these playoffs have been jaw-dropping delusional and disappointing.
Pau and Lamar have been shells of their former and possible selves; Andrew didn’t come up with a strong mind (unless last year) and Ron, Derek, and yes also Kobe just couldn’t be fully themselves.
Being these all players who have been there and done that already, I am sure they COULD see how nothing was actually right.
But what can you do if not trying to make things right nonetheless?
The way we fell apart also in style in Game 4 against Dallas (classless and unforgivable way to end a game to me, but I see from where it came from, just like Derek said) is a clear sign of this all.
It is the way sports work: we need to reset.
We didn’t reset this year, and if you don’t do that you won’t live another season of glory, because you will be struck in a past one that was gone and couldn’t re-happen.
Many things are on the horizon: I think the team will change, and it will be tough for me to see some people (beside Phil) go away.
I am deeply thankful to all of my Lakers for the emotions they have gifted me with; even today that I am in pain and I mourn over a loss to Cuban’s team.
I respect the Mavs, but I despise violently their hating owner.
I can’t help but love my guys instead: even today…
You’ve gifted me two years of Los Angeles celebration, and I would have loved a different one this year that I am marrying; but as my Labyrinthitis kicked out me from my usual way to follow you live every night, I felt this couldn’t be another glory Summer and I can’t blame you for your imperfect effort, when I first I couldn’t do my best as a fan.
Next year, my dears: next year we will be back on top, and I will also be back in my nightly owling support, after all the therapies will complete their runs.
We need struggles to evolve and we needed this to wake up from past dream, so that we could feel what we want to achieve as NEXT dream.
I am not feeling destroyed.
I only feel pumped to chase something huger and better next time; I long to see what we will be shaped like.
I know Kobe now REALLY will have to rethink himself as a player again to have HIS LAST ROUND OF RINGS (yeah, you read correctly: he will get TWO more before he says stop:mark my words) and he will achieve that without Phil.
I am still tall and proud in my Laker faith today; just today that everything seems a ruin.
It’s not.
We will surface back again from our ashes, like a purple and gold burning phoenix.
Don’t doubt, and chin up, Laker Nation.
This is just a Summer a bit longer to rest and collect back forces.
Our next Parade just got delayed a tiny bit.
And just because of that, we will celebrate better and louder when it will come.
I hope my fellow fans are not too down; I hope we will not do anything unclassy and stay confident and cool.
We have the HONOR to be following a wonderful team whose glory shines through the years and so will again and always.
So let’s not be whiny and just let’s put things in the right and real perspective.
We cannot always win, but we will be up in line to win again just immediately, I have NO DOUBTS AT ALL there.
FOREVER A LAKER.
FOREVER A MILANIST.
Good day everyone ;), I still your very happy Miss Z. 😉

Gooooooood Wednesday everybody!
Yes, I know, I’m late and what you’re about to read is another HUGE post.
It comes at my late evening, after a sunny wonderful day, after a wonderful, perfect waking up at 4 am for what you’re imagining (yep, MY LAKERS!!!!)
What can I offer as explanation?
Well… I like to live 😉 and Fall sets all paces back to a careful and cozy slowness, especially when evening falls and give rooms to darkness shades, and all I ask is to share a hug (and then… lots of other stuff) with Karim.
That’s why I always push updates forward and forward.
Because at work these days I have too much to do… and at nights… well 😉
*You must know me by now* 😉
I have so much to say and share, but of course, as that’s the first thing that has happened today (it was already MY wednesday, as you have gotten above ;), yes) let’s start with NBA roll and my beloved Lakers in their Ring Celebratory Night!
I was longing for the start of the new Quest For The Ring, and as you know from my daily posts in the Lakers Blog (which I regularly link from my Twitter), the first games won’t really see me worried.
This doesn’t mean I don’t wanna us to win them all… 😉
I have been delighted by the entire Ring ceremony in fact.
The beautiful words our Knights spoke, their faces, their chemistry… the total feeling they REALLY are a team of committed people who genuinely enjoy being in the same team.
Kobe was so smiling, so happy the entire time (and he’s starting his year as 15th in the row with the Lakers, greatest franchise man ever), even when the game wasn’t seeming that smooth (but as the chat proved, I never worried a moment… ;))
And then the game showed so much how much we have again improved.
You read it all in my Today’s Blog Post that I will link from my Twitter after this update is posted, but I just wanna pinpoint it:
1st Ring has been the Vengeance;
2nd Ring has been the Rising up Above Adversities (injuries);
THIS INCOMING 3rd Ring (yes… it’s happening) will be a TEAM play, not because Kobe will let it be (he still THE BESTEST BEST) but because WE FINALLY HAVE A BENCH.
Today we’ve been rusty, imprecise… but even then, it’s clear we have so much more than anybody else.
Moment of pun intended: ahahahahha… collective moment of laugh at the obvious demise of The 3 PUPPETS Chokers of the Hyped Land, namely Miami Meat of total loser LeBronze: wiped off by the Celtics, who will always be better than them.
But sorry… we’re always gonna be better than Celtics, as well ;))
I was really really amused by the way lots of delusional hyped chokers tried to justify the obvious, namely the much expected loss of the Meat in front of a true basketball team (albeit hated sportly speaking by us).
What did you expect?
Anybody understanding basket would have taken the Celtics over the Meat.
Co.mon.
Be serious.
But enough… now take some images, starting with the TRULY amazing Ring Ceremony (that I risked to lose cos Sky Sport Extra stopped broadcasting after Meat demise… idiots…):
And then the Game recap. So very us… so very Lakers Thrill:
It was amazing.
AMAZING.
We’re just gonna be so great… and you know, I feel a lot of what Adam said both during the game and at the END of it , sealing his obvious enthusiasm;).
And of course, I totally share what he said about Kobe, too… 😉
But as you see here in this awesome pic of Travis Schneider (Vevey Forever director) shared, Adam’s beloved Lakers is RON RON (and how cannot I understand? Ron rocks :)!)
We. Are. The. BEST. Just surrender. 😉
And even if you don’t surrender, we’re gonna win anyway (no matter Evil Stern tricky ways to favorize Princess Of Losers BronzeY… all heil, Lakers! ALWAYS stronger than them all put together. ALWAYS)
PS: I love the way we are interacting in the Lakers Blog: we are also being very musical… I’m about to learn a lot more on classic soul, rap, hip hop and rock thanx to the amazing people there.
Oh… and I have also been honored with the RCOTD award.
What made me proud about it is that it was about Kobe, my hero.
So you know… I get emotional when I am reckoned for my sporty commentaries, but I get touched innerly if and when that happens for a piece that I was writing about my one and only hero.
It felt sweet.
Dunno how much I deserved it, but surely all I was thinkin about and of and with then was PASSION.
So for me that was pretty much it.
They got it…:
Awesome 😉
Love my Family 😉
Since we are in Basketball territories, and soon you know you will know about Maroon5, (and anyway you’re gonna see all way through this post tons of very recent AND quite old Adam pics…) let me share a video titled as Accomplished Renegades that I have been played and replayed since I have been sent of.
It’s Divine Creature Adam talkin about passion, drive, talent and basketball.
I can’t start even to let you picture how all those things, united THROUGH and IN him, makes me feel even more why and how he’s my favorite singer and favorite “person-Idont know-but I wish I would”):
Oh, we’ll be on that soon enough, but surely as soon as the second leg of Maroon 5 tour ends tomorrow, Adam will be quickly returning to LA to have his infamous Halloween Party.
Anne and Adam in the main-time have all changed their twitter pictures, maybe cos they are training to change their both overall appearances for the big festive celebration?
Dunno, but both pics are adorable (see evidences right and left ;)…
Adam‘s one was taken on his was from Switzerland to Saint Tropez last year summer, and that really looks like an Italian ESSO gasoline pump.
I also well remember that day he wrote on twitter – see what he’s actually doing – that in Italy food is so great even a stop at a gas pump would let you eat better than in the majority of other Countries finest restaurants…
I so so so so hope pics surface from Levine’s Crib Hollywood Halloween BUT that will be talked about later because what I TRULY look for is OUR Halloween time over here.
Today I have ditched fitness for going to the hairdresser and I’m currently sporting extensions which are red on half of my head (and bangs) and blue-sky on the other half.
This because for the next 4 days it’s Halloween Bonanza, we will have 4 parties (biggest one Saturday at us ;)) and THESE are our costumes:
I love this so much!!!
We were all thrilled when a friend who works in the Fashion department (for a very famous maison) offered to us to create our disguises this year.
And then you know… Karim‘s gonna wear the tightest stuff arising my excitement and desire… my dad said we like S&M too openly in costumes this year, and he’s right.
LOL 😉
Oh… and yep… this kind of hairdo I have described and I have put on me today will be carried until November starts even in everyday life.
I can pull it off.
I’m anyway too hot for makin people trying to argue too much.
And then there are chignons and hats to let hair stay composed and anyway elegant, even if flirtatiously and flamboyantly colored, so just let me be (no, won’t anyway set you free cos I never cage anybody in the first place … 😉
What can I say… fact is this: I LOVE Halloween 😉
I also love to cook, and in fact the latest weeks have seen both me and Karim train ourselves in the fire(s) department (in the fire department we are already great, thanx ;)).
Last weekend, while we were in my Florence House (aww… we adore spend time there!) I even tried to spread Italian cookin mastery and I properly posted a series of more than 25 Plixies from my Tweet Page so that everybody could have learnt how to actually prepare TRUE lasagne ;).
You can start from here and go on till you see the whole recipe… Try it !
What else?
Well, in a great day after two great weeks, where Florence rocked our love and NBA started at its peak, of course something had to go wrong, just because philosophically it’s impossible to be always in a perfect state.
Well, music shame in America GOES on.
Another Country Ass act prevents real music from deserved spot recognition.
Yep: Sugarland have prevented Kings Of Leon from Billboard’s top; another shame Country fake band to take laurels so unacceptably, after Zac Ass Brown Band took the 1st place off my Babies.
And expect Princess of Nothingness, brain-seizured Taylor Swift to rule again throne of lameness next week.
Gosh: this girl writes as a 13 years old, fakes goodness, then sleeps with famewhore and notorious manslut John Mayer, and writes an hilarious take at him after?
Oh, boy.
Go John… dick-matize her more: I don’t find you attractive at all, but if you can trash he fake image of this fake undeserving “singer”, then please DO IT.
I’m sick of fake Country.
Give me back Faith Hill and Neil Diamond… I’m not telling bshit… Give me HUGE stuff like Dave Matthews and Neil Young… and those fake new “stars” at least would be fairly disappearing in front of solid songwriters and performers such as these mentioned .
Taylor Swift? Please.
PLEEEE-A-SE.
Girl is a PR intervention.
Much like LeBronze, except that LeBronze is actually very naturally skilled (I don’t deny that) while Taylor Swift sings like a dying cat.
Nothing substantial, beside a great way of selling fakery.
What can I say?
Right now in USA the only things that work are Autotune (yikes) fake teeny pop (barf) and Country Asses (ewww).
Oh well.
Let’s focus on the good.
Next week I will see Prince live in Milan at least ;).
After that, we are planning to spend the week of thanxgiving in New York, joined by Karim’s family there.
We should arrive on the 24, celebrate on 25, and then stay there a coupla days till we get back on Sunday 28th.
We do that because I have to arrange another meeting with the new partners (Brian!!! Whooo!) and then we are on the roll to find a tiny apartment in the West Village OR Gramercy.
Man I can’t wait.
I LOVE Gramercy.
I love New York.
A two room house would be entirely perfect for Karim and I… we truly want it.
Another amazing thing out of November is of course that we end and leave Otto The Prick out of boards FOREVER.
Gosh… finally freedom from that lurid idiot.
YEAHHHHH!!!
You won’t ruin me another New Year’s Eve 😉
While in New York, if possible I’d love to cross Dani G.
Maybe there is a game worthy at MSG?
Dunno: should check 😉
My calendar revolves around Lakers anyway 😉
What I know for sure is that we will be back for the week after cos there is Lady Gaga’s gig in Milan and I can’t wait!
Originally I should have caught her in November in Turin but then Milan new tickets were made available and it was better to stay in my town, and in a weekend, rather than going in Turin in the middle of a week 😉
Rah-Raah… Oh, la, laaaa! 😉
Gaga suits also Halloween week very well 😉 innit?
Okay.
I might have ended my personal sweet nonsense, and I am anyway not recalling other things I might have liked to say…
Am I aging?
Probably.
I can start the Babies’ updates then, and you know that includes all the surroundings (read: ANNE) ;).
I take off with two radio interviews, one of which is related to also a video where Adam professes love for Africa (from Fox).
This is the radio excerpt:
And then there is an interview for Capital Radio:
I have 14 more videos of the babies beside the one I linked above of Adam playing basketball so… sit down and take a breath… also cos some of them will make your need of oxygen arise 😉
Some of them are historical pieces from the previous album’s boxset.
And here I list them, before I get back into October Life chronicles, starting with how they formed the band:
Then the writing of Harder To Breathe:
Then the one of She Will Be Loved (I SO Loved James’ hairdo that exact way and that exact lenght! – and talkin about James, know that he’s featured in GUITAR Magazine of November!! I also always adored, as you read above, any time Adam would completely shave his head off. It brings out his facial features so perfectly…):
Then This Love:
And how they started writing It Won’T Be Soon Before Long:
Okay. Now let’s start the run of the past two weeks.
Guys moved to Sacramento, where time ago somebody decided to enjoy the typical away night: and it’s that “vague” remembrance that tells you how much that could have been *fun* ;).
Beside that fun, take a look at In Style of November 2010 ( Charisse has send it to me!!! Whooo thanx babs ;)!!) where Adam and british singer VV Brown shine their beauty on (awww).
What can I say??
Oh, boy.
I can’t help he sets my pants on fire.
Karim is resigned to my physical reactions to anything he is, and by now I guess he’s still confirmed that doesn’t mean I don’t adore him.
Adam sets my sex on fire.
End of it.
Btw, the spread is really gorgeous.
Can’t wait to have the magazine in my hands actually.
Back to Sacramento, and to the actual gig, I always have fun acknowledging how their live sets can turn dubious people into believers.
Good thing there are some people who GET them.
Talkin about some of those people, well, actually very special ones, while guys were leaving Cali to cross State borders, Sweet Russian Fairy was finally coming back to New York after a long run all around the globe, to hug back Chovy (I was wondering exactly about him in my last post… telepathy?).
In that same day, the Final Drafts for the 2011 Grammy were revealed.
Check the Grammy Submissions HERE (honestly, I don’t see spaces for wins but a couple of nominations should/could reach out in fact) and in the end Mutt and the guys should truly get recognition for their amazing work.
I still completely in love with Hands All Over (and here take a Russian review of it ;))
The more I listen to it, the better it gets.
Quality.
But ehi… see above… quality these days is simply not understood.
*sigh*.
Anne isn’t bad in fashion photography you know, so she let us know that she’s on the cover of November 2010 Issue of Spain Vogue (I posted the thumbnail way above!).
I will buy that in Milan as soon as it arrives 😉
Awww… leotards… 😉
In the schedule of reciprocal lovers’ time, gotta start to give room to the December special sounding Holiday events, such as these:
Kiss Mass Bash, Jingle Ball and some first trip to Trinidad…
Then we knew already NEW YEARS SHOW it’s Gonna Be In ATLANTIC CITY 😉
Oh… if you go to a Maroon5 gig (which I wish you to, cos they are amazing live) please think twice before throwing panties onstage, unless they’re “lived”…
I didn’t say it: THEY did:
I LOVE ’em boys.
Moving from their beloved Cali to the East, guys stopped and got through New Mexico, and since Adam OF COURSE brought on tour one of his bikes (maybe two?), he took the chance of the moving day to venture into wild nature, and meeting people (which he always like).
I wouldn’t call him organized, but surely (and that’s why I like him) he was completely PASSIONATE about it all 😉
Then as logically expected, Adam and the guys did their thing onstage: just like they do it always, bringing it home greatly.
While they moved to Tulsa, Adam shared that he hung out with THE HANSON (yeah… Mmm-bop ones) time ago there and loved it.
Unexpected connections, but kinda cute 😉
That moment in Tulsa, Jesse took a pic of James , while James took a pic of Adam whom finally took a pic of Jesse, SIMULTANEOUSLY.
I know.
Adam there spotted a goatee.
I hate goatees.
And thank above it seems it did not last on his face.
Adam, honey, you’re the hottest on Earth but not even you can pull that off well.
Go with the beard OR the shave but please NO goatee.
Anne… please force him never to keep one EVER, thank you.
No one looks pretty with a goatee unless he’s not a 1890 French nobleman, sorry ;).
On the mug department instead, no complaint or restraints: Adam is always lovely showing what (I think fans?) gift him with.
Adam is also a very deep and bright person: that kind of person who just can’t think everything is gonna be fine and always so, unless you’re not an unaware idiot.
I wouldn’t say he is cynical: he’s SMART.
VERY smart.
I feel way more than some proximity regarding that approach to life: and I loved this shoutout to Kanye West, who had his album cover art banned (not anymore?).
But now, let’s get into a BEAUTIFUL piece of Los Angeles Times on the guys (really??? I’m almost shocked!!): CLICK here cos it’s awesome, and then watch this from the same Los Angeles Times article, and see FRANKIE!!!:
While we are at the cute videos step, take this awesome pieces from MTV Japan Diary (long 27 minutes and absolutely DELIGHTFUL):
WOW… Yes, I know 😉
Oh, and since we are on the MTV page, let’s share this video of Adam and Kelly Rowland while EMA approach
More about guys: Adam shared that among inspirations for Hands All Over there are two of my fav musicians EVER, Tupac and Marvin Gaye.
Look, he isn’t saying the MUSIC sounds like those; he said the approach to honesty in music they tried to pour into HAO links the record to them.
Which I agree with completely:
And while we’re on the subject, take these videos about Hands All Over release party in New York :
Then an Introduction about the record:
And a further piece about it:
Okay… to let you recover, I turn a moment to fashion stuff and Anne (so maybe MALES will choke a bit ;)) because in New York Sweet Princess had a wonderful runaway for Express OUTSIDE, and guess where?
Yes, At Gramercy (sigh!!!!), surrounded by my beloved Flatiron Building 😉
The day before the catwalk, lovely Russian Fairy took a walk down her memory lane and shared pictures from her Prom Time year, and a couple from past modeling years more close to nowadays.
Overly cute and auto-ironic and always so reliable in talks, isn’t she?
While Anne was getting preppy for her show, Adam and the guys were reaching in Texas, and Adam took the chance to visit a music store and buy a guitar (that he later confessed to carry along since purchase, like obsessed with it).
Adam also did an interview for Virgin Radio Ca,which I hope will get released for us all to catch, and also provided a vocal rendition of Alicia’s If I Ain’t Got You that keeps impressing whomever isn’t deaf.
Before I go on, while we are on the interview train, take this small piece with Adam and Jesse:
Gotta say that while in Texas, the Final of World League of baseball were on.
And we learnt that: ADAM hates the Yankees, – too bad because I LIKE them ;)… – and that Matt is a passionate and almost crazy Giants fan.
Matt is also just like Adam: sport goes good… cookies for everyone!!!
Well… everything got well, because Texas Rangers deafeat the Yankees while Maroon 5 were playing in Texas, advancing to the Big Final, and later also Giants came to the same point.
The fun facts were that both these events were linked to and talked about DURING gigs.
It’s a band of sport fanatics. Granted.
Back on Anne’s runaway and catwalks, we not only could appreciate pics of the event itself, not only got to listen to her overjoyed, and we could sneak in thanx to her at the afterparty, we also got to read that THESE days she is in Turks and Caicos, having more tasks to do.
Fairly enough, she has admitted hers is the kind of job that allows you such wonderful place stays you can’t really complain ;).
This is anyway the Express Show rendition:
From Texas to Tennesse, babies were fastly approaching the final streams of the second leg of the tour, and too bad some very cool ideas couldn’t take place, mostly due to bad weather on their day off.
But when they finally got to play the real thing, as per usual it was awesome.
And oh well… those visions… *sigh*… FIRE on FIRE.
😉
Anne in the same hours was preparing to her trip off by shedding some on her passion:vintage jewelry (lovely piece, gotta say…).
Dunno about her cooking mastery… but I’m pretty sure if she’d like to, she’d be a very good cooker (see my recipes if you like, girl ;)).
She seems certainly to have that same sweet touch Adam has with little kids; and in fact she’s rooting for Penelope, Gisella and Shawn’s daughter (whose godfather IS Adam actually) in her attempt to start modeling (awwww).
Btw, Anne as specified is now is in Turks and Caicos and someway watching that I feel like I’d like to jump with Karim on a plane and enjoy sun and water 😉
We’re almost done now… just take one more video from Fuse:
Since we’re always bragging about them and Fuse (naw, we aren’t…but we’d like them to always be fine), take a chance to VOTE FOR MISERY ON FUSE COUNTDOWN >>> HERE and then …
While you’re at it, try also this link for the People’s Choice Awards, by clicking here and then do what you’re requested to.
And then know that in middle November, seemingly now, Maroon 5 will be back in Europe.
First they’ve been confirmed for BBC Children In Need:
And also, seemingly in November, (15) they should get back to Paris for a RTL2 sponsored gig.
I love when they hang out in Paris, so to celebrate their “allure” take these two videos from French territories:
and this one from backstage of Paris show in September:
Someway I link the town with them so well 😉
Okay… I might admit I’m quite dead through writing so… just saying bye and see you soon sounds too rude?
Please forgive me… but I need relax 😉 And Lakers Blog 😉
To come here and write I haven’t fully celebrated today glory 😉
Have all a great time.
Catch you soon 😉 (more or less…)
HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!
*evil laugh* 😉
Hugs, Z. 🙂
Crazy Week, with break-ins of light

Okay.
I know, this comes:
1) late;
2) and it will be… “short and on the point”.
I have a crazy week at work, it always happens when July comes and we have to fit in everything before holiday time.
Still, lots of break-ins of light are available to cheer my life still.
This weekend we get back to my new Florence House (we’re gonna get roasted by weather… but doesn’t matter ;)) and just yesterday we bought a baby to fill in.
NO, stop… not a TRUE baby (don’t call social services… lol..): we bought an iMac for that house too.
Ehi! Gotta be connected and workin in style from there too 😉
This evening is super-boredom instead: Rotary Dinner. Yikes.
To help me through the double tasks of work, useless dinner among frozen penguins, and the incredible heat over Milan, they come the GOODIES!!!
Mighty DA Queen Jennifer Coles has filled me with stuff these past two days and although I won’t be very descriptive (don’t have time, plain and simple) you’re gonna please your eyes, ears and imagination/projection/expectation frame of mind with Maroon5 related Radio, Video and Pic candies.
Is it okay?
Hope so 😉
Know that yesterday two very enthusiastic and captivated Adam and Jesse (and Colbie Caillat actually) have been talking to the students at the Grammy Camp 2010 Guest Professional Day at USC Thornton School of Music on July 14, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.
Kids and music?
Sounds so perfect 😉
The pictures you see today comes from that event, and for those tagless, you have of course to thank again Jennifer Coles (the others I downloaded myself from Getty Images, n.d.r.).
PS: notice the way Adam sits on that chair. What an adorable brat… 😉
After the camp Jesse and Adam got back at reharsal, and we know it because their new recruitment for the tour, the talented P.J Morton, posted tweetphoto of the session and also of Adam drumming during them (you know I love to catch Divine A. on drumsticks ;)).
After that?
Well, after that Adam just confirmed he has way too much time on his hands (literally?… okay, that was nasty… and I love being nasty… 😉 theee-hee… anyway, Adam sould just switch to European porn – Beck is okay too though – …We are better there too… 😉 ninja and porn? Please…) without his half, who sticks at the other side of the world (and allegedly not even that happy about it either…).
He really really REALLY needs to use his night time in the normal way he always likes to.
Or he needs to get more into Jesse’s advices to cope with channeling energies unable to flow the way he’d like them to.
No escape 😉 (and he could reach universal harmony… ;))
Okay, now let’s post all the goodies, cos time flies and this break also is near ending.
Radio bites, starting from Radio Sophie (never wake him up TOO soon… ;)):
Then a little hint at what Divine Adam thinks of that idiot dbag of Mel Gibson:
Then the incredible and fun moments at the Awkward Show:
And then AJ Radio part one…
…and part 2:
And finally, The Buzz Interview Part 1…:
… and part 2 again:
And finally, to cheer your eyes… the CNN behind the scenes of Misery Video:
And some really really great video about… well.. Adam “getting bad” (awwww ;)):
Okay… hopefully this will cheer up your day like it did cheer mine 😉
Back to work, and rushing reactions.
Later ;)!!!
Z. 😉

This is a title which is working actually only if:
1) you’re Italian;
2) you’re familiar with music of the past 45 years;
3) you’re a Gianna Nannini fan.
Out of that, it will make no sense to you.
WHO CARES?
Exactly.
I write this in the middle of my working task at SNAM Progetti in San Donato, and after I got back to my lab for briefing about it (the reached agreement with the American partners opens up a plethora of new links that we can’t wait to milk onto… I love my job. I love to being good at it. I love to make money. MY own money. It’s not about being vain… it’s about kickin ass in life, u know ;)), where I had already a certain HUGE fun in teasing that poor young, handsome engeneer that I met lastly just there, and who keeps watchin me with the starry eyes.
He knows I’m taken.
But I have played him with looks in a way he won’t care about that detail (I’ve seen all this so many times, I can probably decode pheromones of a human male by MILES, lol…).
Yes.
I can be this cruel.
It’s unharming… at least, it’s unharming ME.
But as per usual I have been 110% brutally honest with him, so I don’t really put any blame on myself. I won’t really play down my look just out of safety for male human race, right?
I got ahead of me a certain number of years still to make everyone turn heads at me anywhere I go (never expect slutty outfits from me though… I leave sluttyness to those who are not beautiful enough & have to rely on tricks… ;)).
And I LOVE IT.
No way I will ever play it low there…
For the weekend, we still undecided if going or not to Heineken Jammin Festival.
The panel of artists DEFINITELY would deserve a check… but I would be more interested in relaxing a bit on the Lake… honestly.
There are spaces open for changing my mind but Karim too is more oriented at getting feedback from there by some of our friends who are heading over the happening.
We’ll see.
Back to the Radio Baccano thing, and after the multiple radio excerpts upload of yesterday, today we have MORE of Adam’s loveliness on Radio (always thanx to Jennifer Coles, who fills my morning mail checks with adorable gifts!!), that I let you check:
and also a second one (beside the radio things, you gotta bow at Jennifer DA Queen also and especially for the pics out of Z100 radio interview… Eldorado!!! Eldorado!!! At work I couldn’t avoid to think of them both ;)… *sigh*…).
Check this out too:
Beside being awesome in sending me (and therefore YOU) all these radio interviews (expect more…), Jennifer also provided me my new iPhone Ringtone 😉
Guess which one… (THAAANX!!!) > Mine is #3, the part of the song that I predilige (Min. 2.01 to Min. 2.31)
Talkin about Radios, this morning waiting for all people to join us at the meeting Room in Snam, I made one of the guys there turn Radio that was listenable to RDS.
Why?
Because after catchin yesterday Misery on other radios, I TOTALLY expected beloved Anna Pettinelli to deliver it STRAIGHT there.
And I didn’t fail.
“Check this from Maroon5. I mean… Maroon5! We’re not speaking about one of those trashy bands here. They are all about class. And this is the new single paving road for September Album. Enjoy Misery!”
AWWWWWW. 😉 (Probably once she will see Adam Easy Rider version and catch ALL of his new tats she will re-evaluate… NO. She won’t. 😉 He’s one of the rare cases of class even when tattoed from head to toe 😉 SEE for reference >>>> David Beckham ;))
We’re on the verge to have daily loads of materials btw, because machine’s out and running.
Don’t expect me to update this DAILY (no way…) but be assured NOTHING will be lacking of valuable.
You will just have to wait a coupla of days between various updates.
I have a life, and my weekends are like… HOLY, you know.
But let’s keep rolling along for today.
There are some news the babies’ themselves shared:
For instance, the fact in the new Guitar Hero Pack is Included THIS LOVE, and this of course makes me quite happy 😉
Or that they linked the same link I did yesterday (Boy, I’m quicker than them? LOL… actually that was Jodi’s help, if you remember ;)…) about >>>
Again, how beautiful are Adam and Anne together, there and anywhere else? They clear the grey sky when paired.
Just one minute… that look Adam had on the radio interview… doesn’t remind you all of something?
That pic of Anne, that she tweeted while on the plane to Chicago last week, is perfect to give you a glimpse of Adam’s humour again (yesterday he tweeted A LOT).
You know that Russian Spy Gate that is currently up in the news?
Well, of course Adam couldn’t avoid to link it (he’s kinda *involved* with Russian stuff at the moment… LOL…) and he sounded really entertained by the implications.
Dunno about you guys, but I can TOTALLY guess the sexual game of that night between them two:
“Honey, let’s remake something in the line of Bond. Something like James and The Russian Spy who loved him, just way nastier…”
Well, I would have definitely tried it.
I’m SO sure they planned something along that line too… 😉 (they better to… things like these are way inspirational…)
But let’s get back to news, or the thoughts I’m having about certain scenes won’t let me be that informative (*sigh*)…
Billboard yesterday had two news related to Maroon5:
One is about the chance to take place to the gig I already mentioned you on July27, which is a charity event, and which you could attend filling the form Billboard has up to >>>>> CHECK IT ;
and the other is a WONDERFUL intervention plan many artists have decided to take against discriminatory Arizona recently implemented anti-immigrants law, called The Sound Strike.
Maroon5 have agreed to take part in that, and I gotta thank Billboard for makin me happy with this news (I love their serious side).
What more?
Well in his number of tweets, yesterday Adam delivered one of his trademarked overexcited answers to Jesse, preaching the zen beauthy (and balance) of Buddhism.
Why Am I not surprised Adam can’t really quiet himself up that easily? 😉 LOL…
Also this piece of Interview he did along Mickey for MTV press on the set of Misery Video tells well (he tells that about himself… ) that guy is just a no tamed kid.
Lovely and utterly charming, but… eh… what can I say… not easy to deal with, for sure (bless you guys who can keep him in check…).
Btw, just one hour ago, Adam was sharing this >>> CHECK IT and therefore, my prediction about having LOTS of material to post from now on just gets vivified in full ;).
Maybe though wakin up that soon doesn’t help the Zen side of Adam (is there any? LOL..) because he sounded none like a buddhist asking something to please (or to taise) Jesse up: it seems that none of them is familiar with Wikipedia (too bad… Psycho lives out of THAT and Google Translator… what if the babies would learn about those *marvels* as well? What she would talk about then? LMAO…).
Anyway, time flies and I can’t wait to check off from lab and get into Karim’s arms. Today no World Cup so we will go out in Milan.
I leave you with one of my favourite videos/songs at the moment.
Starting with lovely Robyn, and her Dancing On My Own:
Then Chiddy Bang, “Opposite of Adults” (cos I dance on that a lot):
and the awesome “The High Road” by Broken Bells:
Have a great day!!!
Whoooo! 😉
ARGH!!! (Insert swearing of choice)

Be Zen, Zaira.
Just be Zen.
Forget that yesterday Otto was the usual complete idiot; forget that.
Focus on good things that followed that: Swifty and a wonderful ride, Karim‘s loveliness at evening and night, and Fini that has ridiculized Berlusca and shown him off how pathetic and out of any democratic scheme he is.
Think of the loveliness of sweet Marc and his adorable package full of love (awwww dear… you made me cry 🙂 sweet!!!).
Be Zen, Z.
Try to.
It’s hard though.
No matter the awesome session of sexual healing that has saved me from coming inflamed at work, it still hurts.
What?
Well, Lakers lost against OKC and although I could expect it (I predicted a win in 5, so one must have been theirs), it hurts a lot because we could have won if just we had used a grain of salt more.
Durantula finally lived up to his name (especially in rebounding he killed us), but overall the game win – of Thunders – is to be ascripted firstly to their tight defense on us all the time, then to Stern&Fester “caring eye” (PJ, you said it so well at the start…), and finally to the fact we just didn’t do our best.
Lamar, for instance, never did so far in this series (saving yourself for the Thuggets? Fine for me… but we have to get there first you know…)
I don’t wanna put too much of whining in here cos it’s not my style and in a few hours I will just have all the talks in the Lakers Blog, but I can’t deny it hurts.
Generally I would try and have a moment of charme by referring to Divine A., but even Adam in his last appearing wasn’t living up to his name…
Just take a look at the obscenity he was wearing on the previous game (yep, he attended that too of course), and like me start shake your head and wonder if he wanted to go back to Kara’s Flowers Style first grunge-y version (plaid-ly speaking, at least).
I mean… there are fashion (?) choices that I just can’t take, and plaids are one of them.
Coloured plaids with acid mixes then… even more ewww in my book.
But after all, when even Prada male collection for Summer 2010 (I tried to buy yesterday some for Karim in MonteNapo.. and failed) has a degree of horrible tanktops beehived, you gotta ease up and then maybe it’s just that I am a little too picky? (well, if I am, I am glad to be so in the end… I kiss no one’s ass, never ever. Therefore right… I still hate colorful grungey plaids and all holed up tank tops on males. And females. Gross and tasteless).
Of course he still HOT, so the picture still something positive to catch eventually.
But ehi, Adam… in times of need, at least you should provide just comfort, not wearing a suggestion for a further headache on my already proven nerves 😉
Luckely on Earth Day‘s birthday sweet Jesse was festive and cute and sent us all through Twitter a wonderful collage of polaroids of the guys.
That saved the eyes *completely* at least 🙂
Music bites of the day are the four songs that yesterday lifted me up and rocked me a bit while Otto was driving me mad (keep looping them in my head while he was senselessly trying to hit on me. The delusional fat loser…).
First of all, Temper Trap:
K’naan Soccer Version:
Ellie Goulding:
and the song that always makes me smile these days, Train‘s Soul Sister:
Have all a nice day.
Kobe my leader… you’ll have your revenge on saturday, and after all this means a more game at Staples to watch on Tuesday, and I like that as a new chance of… “nicewatching” ;).
Go get ’em, Lakers; after all everyone lost the third game so… (no okay.. I don’t care and I wish we’d won. Can’t fake my feelings ever. I am disappointed and angry still).
Always faithful in you still, my babies in Purple&Gold.
Kick some serious asses on Saturday, and make those Smurfs mute.
😉

Oh, my…
tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow…
Marghe marries!!
I am freakin out (and it’s not only due to the vision of the We Are The World 25 première…) and my whole body tickles.
Yep, for Marghe’s big day.
And not merely that.
In 3 hours my body will receive some ink.
Oh, gosh… what love can drive you to?
It’s not gonna be big. It’s sized like a 2 euros coin.
The design is the one you see aside.
It’s a Tao… with the ideogram of tao.
It’s me.
The only symbol I feel myself ready to wear forever.
It’s mattering and defining me at all levels of my life.
Mentally, spiritually, philosophically.
It’s really the closest to my soul you can get and attempt to reach at.
So that’s it.
I will wear a tao on my skin.
Nobody will see it unless he makes sex wit me or take a shower with me, cos…
Not even the skankiest bikini could show it probably (not sure for skankier underwear, that at time isn’t even covering the minimum…)
It’s gonna be placed right up my “special entrance place”.
The V that attracts all P.
(what you think a bout? Nasties… “V” stays for “virtue” and “P” stays for… Prayers ;))
This decision came out from my concept of Valentine’s Day.
I don’t care about costly excuses for shopping in the name of love.
That’s bullshit.
A Valentine gesture and gift that matters to me is a person who tries to do something to lose a bit of himself/herself to step into his/her significant other’s world and likes.
Karim will gift me with something I love, and he accepts to love through me as well (yep, a threesome with a friend. Game already played. But still TOP), for this enforces and major our bond, self acceptance, intimacy, dedication, mutual acknowledge and generally TRUTH; hence I had to come up with something as important for him, to be reciprocal.
A life longlasting tribute to him, and to the way he has changed (and keeps changing en evolving) me, living onto my skin.
“You can’t even begin to guess what this means to me, delightful Princess of mine. I never ever thought you would have inked your body out from my will or wish. It’s something precious and eternal and it shows to me better than so many other things that you’re keen and committed to me, to us, to a vision of sharing life. Fully right now. This is the most beautiful gift you could have gifted me with, altogether.”
The ink will be colourless, and for a while I have to confess I thought about putting into it the letters “K”, and “Z”.
But that wouldn’t have been me.
By inking that special part of me, the way I would have never imagined I would have agreeing in doing (let alone come up with the idea MYSELF!!!), I already stated everything, actually.
Now let me confess I am scared as hell cos I know it will hurt and I hate self inflicted physical pain.
I have to be so totally Zen and Yoga about it.
We will do that out of the Milan Tattoo Convention. The inker that will ink both me and Karim again (he wants get another small tattoo near to his intimacy as well, but he’s not gonna tell me about the design…) is a British master that Karim loves a lot, and whom has already inked him.
Wow.
Aside today’s posts you’re watching the M5 collages.
One is out from the pre Grammy Party and it encompasses more pics.
The other comes straight from the Vanity at Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel where the beloved boys performed to entertain a fluke of models in swimsuits (well, not really then… but yep, when off from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition they were actually celebrating).
Out from the red carpet pic, I always get amazed at the total unability of Adam of getting “natural” at the duty of it.
He constantly looks in another direction compared to all of the rest of the band.
Not to mention he’s clearly not at ease having to grin forcedly, while he’so luminous and shining when he really WANTS to smile and he’s free to do it just because he feels so, and not because he has to.
Awww. (ps: only Adam could have harmonized Wyclef on WATW 25…)
It tells so much about his natural shyness and inmost refusal in front of staged up things.
Man is just pure at heart.
He’s totally unable to act.
I love that.
Makes him so valuable in my book.
Even more than he already is.
Have all a great weekend.
Tomorrow is my best friend’s BIG day.
I don’t think I will post or twitter pics unless she won’t tell me that I can.
But really… it’s her moment and I think I will be so emotional that I will probably be unable to even hold the iphone, if any.
Kisses everybody 😉
Catch you on Monday;), when I will also speak about the Winter Olimpics (KD Lang’s “Halleluya was AWESOME!!!!)
*INKED*!!!!
Whooof.
