( WE'RE DOING IT! )

while i was looking for something in one of my wardrobes (which of course i couldn't find because my mum has probably made hiding my things from me her mission in life é__é) i happened upon the gown i wore as a debutant and i couldn't stop myself from trying it on.

I'm amazed to say it actually fits quite well still, the shoes too. Only thing missing is the long white gloves i can't locate, and that's a pity because I've always had a thing for silken gloves with nacre buttons.

It was quite strange to wear it again after so many years (well not that many but surely a few more than a couple ^^) and dammit that dress weighed a ton!

I didn't remember how heavy all that silk, lace and crinoline are, now i understand why it was so difficult to dance quadrille and viennese waltz while wearing it!

I know i've disappeared again, but this time i've a pretty good reason at least.

Sitting inside the executive lounge having a lazy breakfast and writing a post because you can't do what you want to is pretty ridiculous! we wanted to go swim in the beautiful hilton pool this morning but 2_6midsummer's luggage isn't arrived yet so she doesn't have her swim suit é___é
why is this when you travel from malpensa you so often get trouble with simple things like getting your bag on the same flight you've booked? i'm always amazed at how difficult is for easy things to work out é___é
At least hilton staf is great with very nice people and the service is quite good too.
you must enjoy smal things in life to live happily a wise person said, and we're working on it!

in a hurry so i'm writing the post next but here are THEM The For Kitten of the Apocalypse




with mom Lucilla and Shiro supervising everything.

I must see this movie as soon as it's released somewhere! Beautiful guys, romantic love, incest a girl can't ask for more really!
It remind me so much of Starcrossed, i just hope it ends better...

this post too is an other promise i had to keep, and it was long due, so to my girls: sorry again for keeping you waiting!

starting from me and the Persona white dress

I had promised myself (and really a few other person as well ^^) i would have written about LAcon, Los Angeles in general and a few other things but as it often happens i didn't find the time and the will to do so till now.
this time to my excuse i can say i was so completely overthrown by the experience i completely shaded away from it whenever i could bring my mind to think about something else ^^
in my life i've met a lot of people, several of them really brilliant, some other incredibly good looking, quite a few very talented, a bunch of them also famous, so i know i don't go starstruck because of the word celebrity, but even with all this considered i would admit no other human being has ever had me so shook up as one of those guys, and not because of anything as simple as look.
But i'm not talking about this now anymore than i did before.
Let just say Misha, Jensen and Jared are truly amazing guys, not only they're more handsome in person than you could ever imagine by simply looking at them on screen, but they're even more charismatic, charming and funny in their own peculiar ways than they're beautiful and this says something considering how gorgeous they are.
Also they're incredibly nice (especially in comparison to pseudo celebrities here in italy who are ridiculously stuck up even when they're completely nobodies) and down to earth, real persons like you can't easily find in everyday life.
At the same time i ve got no trouble at all in recognizing the "star" material because really they know how to enchant they're audience simply by being themselves.
Anyway i didn't start this post to ramble about them but to share pictures. i would have posted all of them but i'm pretty sure 2_6midsummer and frappu would have killed me (even if they look much more beautiful than me in these shots!) if i posted the ones with them too and this reduced my options to a very low degree ^^
So here the two picture where i'm alone with the boys and really picture doesn't do them justice at all, me i totally look like a dork but that's normal so no worry about it ^^

ok, i still need to post pictures and infos but i've been so busy this last month or so and i've been in dire need to relax, hence this post with memes, quizzes and tests.
i promise i'll get back to all the people waiting for a replay as soon as i can, i swear!

( enjoy )

ok i'm not talking about the convention yet, really i can't do it right now because i need to get my brain set straight on line again before i do, or i'm just going to ramble like a bumbling idiot, but this i must say: I LOVE MISHA COLLINS! He completely rocked the convention!
Really he is the most adorable man ever!
He is smart and funny but also he is so very nice and gentle, and so totally cute in such an innocent boyish kind of way it's impossible not to like him.
In fact he is so kind he readily suggested a few places we needed to visit while staying here in Los Angeles when he discovered we were Italian.

Here is Misha's sightseeing advice number 1 - ( Venice... )

we're arrived and we've already gone sightseeing all around the city and now before going out for dinner and after dinner fun i'm sprawled on my bed letting my poor sore legs and feet relax a bit (we probably walked for more than 10km!!).
today we've walked on Sunset Blvd. and Hollywood Blvd. to take a look at Walk of Fame, Grauman's Chinese Theatre and Kodak Theatre it was fun even if Hollywood is not all that special as anyone can imagine, unique for sure, beautiful and charming? well i'd say i'm not so convinced. On the contrary i've liked Rodeo Drive which seems like a piece of Europe has been transported into Beverly Hills and made bigger than any fashionable european street is. The road is not so long but very large and spacious and so sunny and bright, truly quite cute. Beverly hills and Bel Air in general are very relaxing places to walk through, there's such a calm in between all that houses and trees, and it's amazing how different they can be from one an other, sometimes they look totally unreal, like the big house which was totally copied from an alpine chalet side by side with a zen construction and a replica of a colonial white house. City planning is totally crazy!
the most amazing things i've seen today anyway was a big -really ginormous- tree, i don't know which kind of plant they were but gosh they were marvellous with that big contorted trunk! As soon as i can i'm going to post pictures because i can't describe that old living creature all that well, but believe me they were magical!
now back on feet to get ready to going out again, and believe me i don't know where we will muster the energy for doing so ^^ well probably we aren't all that old as we feel like right in this moment ^____-

Ok finally we're leaving for Los Angeles!
In a couple of hours we will go to Fiumicino Airport and take our KML flight to the city of Angels, can't believe it!
For everyone who knows the fundamental reason why we're going there, well girls, we'll keep you posted with all the news ^O^
hugs to everybody

Maybe some other italian fans would be interested in knowing that River made a post about Jensen.
He simply posted Venice Magazine pictures and some comments, but it's the first time an italian gossiping blogger has done so.

Ok Soom did it again! Soom Monthly Doll Glot & Glati – Dream Caller
They tempted me with these two marvellous tiny dolls: Glot & Glati the new february monthly dolls.
And F**K they're just too cute to resist, i simply had to buy them both in full set option because i fell in love at first glance!
Tell me was i wrong? Aren't they the most gorgeous, cute, and sweet pretty little things in the world?

ok i'm a total whore when it comes to cute items and fashion in general so today while i was waiting before my beautician appointment i thought of going to my favourite shop thinking i'd take a look and of course i got more than i bargained for!
this is the result of my shopping spree.

Read, sleep, and shopping.

04. What is a commitment?
Something to take very very seriously and which can't be ditched at the first trouble.

09. Are you beautiful?
Charming not beautiful.

10. Why?
Because it's who i am that makes me unique not simply my face or my body.

11. If you knew you could not fail, what would you do?
Going to woo those i love and get them to be part of my life, to have them love me back as much as i love each one of them. This for myself.
Going to get into politics with some sensible people and try to straighten italian pitiful public and social condition for good. This for a brighter future for everyone.

12. Who will be there when you die?
i don't really know. selfishly i'd say my loved one because i imagine i wouldn't want to be alone. hopefully it will be a fast thing so i won't have to dwell on it too long for anyone to suffer trough it with me.

13. What do you fear today more than anything else?
as usual sickness (mine or my beloved)

knowing who i'm

i don't change mind when it's truly set, i can change my mood by reading (first and foremost) or by swimming, and doing something physically active to distract myself.

18. What is the end of the world?
Something i don't like and hopefully i don't need to think about.

19. What is "why"?
The curiosity keeping me young.

20. Are you benign or malignant?
both mostly it depends on the impulse and the person (or situation) i'm facing. If i feel it's just to be indulgent or understanding or forgiving i'm very much benign and benevolent. If i feel like there's something unfair or stupid or sanctimonious going on i'm totally malignant and very very cruel.

Live like every moment is your last one but dream like you'll never die.

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

Ok one simple question really: WHY THE HELL I ALWAYS FALL FOR SOMEONE I CAN'T GET AND I'M PESTERED FROM SUITORS I DON'T CARE ABOUT?
the question is simple but the answer is not!
I'm not one to get crazy heartbeat easier, i can count the men who truly gave me that lovely shiver down the spine on my hands and i truly don't even need all my fingers for them. Of course they were all unattainable for one reason or an other and in a way i still love them all and certainly i still like and respect all of them.
I keep them alive in my heart with a sense of melancholy and a subtle regret for what couldn't be, at the same time over the years i've taken residence in some people's life i never thought i could or wished i did and frankly most of the time i've dealt with it in a cruel and selfish way i'm not too proud of.
And this year it seems like i'll have an other occasion to prove myself a bit of a bitch again, because Valentine's day bring forth all love wishes and it seems everyone want to try out their chances, non-existent chances!
being admired and loved is always so tempting, but when you're not in love it's so easy to be merciless and actually take advantage of the other person's feelings...
oh my why is love this complicated?
why two persons can't simply fall in love with each other and be done with it?
why people go looking for heartbreaking?
we humans are so very complicated!

This morning when i woke up i found i my house had been transported to Venice over the night!
Where i live it's been long weeks of intense rain and we finally reached our limit.
What you see in the vid is the result of it: my couryard is totally flooded, so is the road, and all the fields around here.
Surrounding my house there is 15-20cm of water everywhere and at least 10 mens of civil protection trying to drain it with two water-scooping machine O__O
this is so incredible!
