Is Passion just for Fashion?

a couple of glasses of 
Limestone Coast Sauvignon 
with sweet Millefoglie, 
last cigarette before sleeping, 
and 
lost in youtube 
I'm thinking: 
is PASSION just for FASHION? 
Apparently... 









And 
because 90's are coming
....

Cold

I'm just going to the gym 
because it's 
actually 
wormer than my house 
And even if I'm complaining 
all the time 
for this cold 
and this is my aspect now 

...
still 
I see 
people 
with the thongs.
I think it's not true that in Australia 
there's no winter 
at all
I think 
they just 
don't care about it.

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?
