“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
Neil Gaiman
Fille d'acier je n'aimais personne dans le monde
Je n'aimais personne sauf celui que j'aimais
Mon amant mon amant celui qui m'attirait
Maintenant tout a changé est-ce lui qui a cessé de m'aimer
Mon amant qui a cessé de m'attirer est-ce moi?
Je ne sais pas et puis qu'est-ce ça peut faire tout ça?
Maintenant je suis couchée sur la paille humide de l'amour
Toute seule avec tous les autres toute seule désespérée
Fille de fer-blanc fille rouillée
Ô mon amant mon amant mort ou vivant
Je veux que tu te rappelles autrefois
Mon amant celui qui m'aimait et que j'aimais.
After a conversation with Colin Firth regarding his involvement with Oxfam and Ucodep, I attended a dinner in Villa Medici in Rome; Colin had invited an impressive group of Italian cinema’s most illustrious actors, actresses and directors. At the dinner Colin’s words inspired me to make a personal effort….I had always believed I could do little on my own.Through Colin’s words, enthusiasm and reality I realized that together, each one of us making a small effort collectively makes a difference.
Oxfam International is one of the largest non-governmental organizations in the world, working in over 100 countries to fight poverty and injustice. Ucodep is a non-governmental Italian organization that for over 30 years has supported and initiated development projects from 20 under-developed countries, in the southern hemisphere to promote awareness and support in Italy.
The Oxfam / Ucodep slogan “ WE CAN CHANGE LIVES” underlines this belief.
My personal effort to make a difference took the form of designing and making two LIMITED EDITION T-SHIRTS and donating these to Oxfam.
They are 45 Euros each and available exclusively through http://www.thecorner.com/
FOR HIM….One size, loose with short sleeves
FOR HER…One size, long in length and sleeveless
I ask you to join us in making a contribution to this just cause. Through buying a t.shirt this small contribution can make a big difference… TOGETHER.”WE CAN CHANGE LIVES”
P.s. BUY A T-SHIRT! and hey… it’s a Limited Edition, a great price and with greater consequences for a greater good!

'flashmob' by studio henny van nistelrooy is a chandelier made of light reflecting discs that are normally used in photography. the process was initiated by making different shapes within the transition from the folded flexible ring to flattened out. it is configured using twelve of these elements to make a sphere chandelier.
I've always thought that Josh Beech is an amazing model,one of the best came out lately, but I've to admit that I like him much more as a singer. I mean, you can tell from his expression that this is something that touches him deep inside, something he really wants to do in life...btw his voice is great,so particular: LOVE IT! :)
