These are Umberto and Roberto, piazzale Arnaldo, Brescia

They are Flavia's (Bazaarwear) customers and they were going dancing at Art Club on Garda Lake.
I had to take them a photo because of they were such cute that they made me smile in a melancholy end of the summer's night.
Flavia received a lot of compliments about her look, so that today her MSN is "Flalli beloved only by her gay friends".
I also received compliments for the idea of this blog! so.. thanks guys!

These are Debora, Diego and Gianni, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

I knew Debora only yesterday night.

I knew Diego this summer and yesterday we decided to buy tickets for The Black Keys in Milan in November.

Don't remember exactly when I knew Gianni, but how couldn't I know the mandolin player of Bruù Chi? AHuuAHAuuuHuuuAHAH

They all study tv, cinema, radio and media direction in Brescia.

This is Rita, Fornaci, Brescia.

She is my mother's sister. In the first photo she's showing me a cup full of sand, white because of the pollution of a chemical industry. In the second photo she's lending my brother some cd's. She's faboulous cause she reads a lot of books and I always borrow them from her library: yesterday she gave me Ubik by Philip K. Dick and There's Non Such Place As Far Away by Richard Bach. We also spent 10 minutes trying to recognize Nothing Else Matter by Metallica played by Apocalyptica, a finnish cello band; everybody would immediately recognize it but we were something like "oh gosh I know it, I have it here on my tongue, what's this?".

met on 24 august

These are Cecco and Lilli, Azzano Mella, Brescia

We often spend afternoons in my garden, but yesterday it was the day after my party. We had broken bones and stomachaches so we went in and watched Reservoir Dogs: I fell asleep in 30 seconds from the start of the first scene and I woke up when Mr.White shoots Mr.Orange, really at the end of the film.

This is Betty, Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

She's usually nicer than in this picture, but it's too funny and I had to put it on. She's one of the most important person in my life, we also lived together.

This is Suzy, La Gaude, France

Suzy is the beautiful 12 years old Paul's sister. She's wearing a Bjork t-shirt! When I was 12 years old I didn't know Bjork.
But if you live in Paul's family, your music culture would be great!

These are Flavia and Ursula, train to Nice

Her name is not Ursula. We named her Ursula because Paul said she looks like Ursula from the Little Marmaid. She told us she had a lot of blood behind her right eye so that she could not recognize people. That was true: when the girl sitting in front of her came back from the toilet she asked her "where's the woman I had in front of me before?".


This is Paul, train to Cagnes sur Mer, France

After a 5 hours trip, I finally arrived in Nice at 4pm. He brought me drinking one moijto and a drunk man fell over me. I shouted "Cazzo" in the middle of the street.

Flavia, at work, Azzano Mella, Brescia

This is Flavia.
She creates necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
You can find her stuff at Bazaarwear.
Here she was creating a necklace for a friend of mine.










These are Manuel (left) and ? (right),
Festa di Radio Onda d'Urto, Brescia

I was with Manuel waiting for Flavia in the (awful) toilets. I met this boy with big pectorals in this stretch Nike t-shirt.
He asked me to take a look at his bongo while he was pissing.
I hate muscles and I hate athletic t-shirts, but he has been kind with me.
So I took a look at his bongo.
