Italian World Cup

ok.
I can't actually say Forza Italia, 
you know, 
someone has just STOLEN such a beautiful wish.
But this is my wish 
for tonight 
for the World Cup match, 
as my auntie Loretta asked me. 
There we go. 
La Borsina Mondiale. 

I wish you the best, guys. 
From the other side of the world.

Sex and the City 2

Just watched Sex and The City 2 
Yes and Not 
:


YES-90'S 
When Carrie dresses up, 
while Mr Big is waiting for her, 
in front of the old flat 
as before she was HIS WIFE 
She wears 
celebrating the old good times 
a SOOOOOOOOOOO 90'S Galliano. 


NO-RELIGION, NO POLITIC, NO VALUES, PLEASE. 
I really didn't enjoyed Islamic men screaming against Samantha. 
Sex and The City supposed to be 
no judgement, 
just a nowadays version of Cinderella. 
C'mon 
you can't talk about 
the condition of women in Islam 
in 2 minutes of stupid 
sparkling 
movie! 
Talk about shoes, 
talk about love 
but that's it, in Cinderella's World 
there are no races, no visas, 
no religions! 
(cit. my Auntie Loretta) 

YES-CLASSY. 
Becoming older, 
the idea of style is more clean and everything 
sounds a little bit jet-set, 
The Girls here are quiet CLASSY, 
let say. 

Even though very 
very 
sparkling 
and ETHNIC CLICHE... 
the trend is 
(as Net-A-Porter defines) 
Gypsy + Jetset = Gypset.

NO-NEW OUTFITS. 
Used to be full of different outfits. 
Here, comparing to the past, not as many ideas... 
I think more or less just one shoulder. 
All-mo-vie. 







YES-MONEY MONEY MONEY. 
In time of Global Financial Crisis 
Fashion 
HAS JUST TO SPARKLE, 
this is an economic rule. 

YES-EVERYBODY IS A SINGLE LADY 
Liza Minnelli in the supergay wedding, 
singing and dancing Single Lady. 
Not as La Danielina but... 
Still cool. 



/this post is dedicated to all my girlfriends, I wish you all the best, 
especially Love and Shoes/

Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

is Love forever
In a fashionable way. 
Such a romantic period this S/S 2010. 
Time ago I went with my friend Olga 
Bellissimo. 
Coco is introduced to Igor by Diaghilev, 
impresario of the Ballets Russes. 
The attraction between them is instant and electric.
Just Passion. 
All movie is just talking about passion. 
Passion as the Igor's music and the Coco's collection. 
You can feel 
for a moment 
that she's feeling lost 
in such big passion. 

But 
she's Coco Chanel, 
FIRST OF ALL, 
so that 
she uses her passion 
she finds her balance 
in a beautiful garden 

with her perfumer, Ernest Beaux 
creating CHANEL N 5. 

Which is forever, isn't it?

I had the pleasure to be
in the Biennale Vernissage

WE HAD THE INVITATIONS!!!
We catched the
ferry
and we went to 
Cockatoo Island...

and was for a night 
the most artistic place 
on this side of the world 
(I fell in love
with Mr Gentleman
!!!)

Down Under by Bill Bryson

Let's
read
a
book.
Did you know that
in 1967 the Prime Minister
Harold Holt
plunged into a surf
and VANISHED?
As Mr Bryson wrote,
"THIS SEEMED DOUBLY ASTOUNDING TO ME
-FIRST THAT AUSTRALIA COULD JUST
LOSE
A PRIME MINISTER
(I MEAN, COME ON)
AND SECOND THAT NEWS OF THIS
HAD NEVER REACHED TO ME"
Exactly.
His funny
and "overall"
('cause he was just a traveller,
he's American)
point of view
is just what you need to know
while you're discovering
Australia
which is so far away every other place.
For example,
this is
THE ONLY NATION
THAT BEGAN AS A PRISON
but
it's
definitely
one of the most
FREE Country
in the world.

Waiting for Sex and The City 2

Every girl
needs answers.
And while I was looking for answers
in the web
which is
sometimes
my Crystal Ball
I finally
had a look
to my favourite
English Course
and Answers Crystal Ball
SEX AND THE CITY
I don't want to think about
the fact
that
HAYDEN IS BACK
....
I'm just feeling better
because the colour of my hair
in Australia
drives me crazy
BUT
is exactly
in Carrie mood,
so...I should stop complaining.
