ONCE UPON A TIME

Even if I could seem a granny I wanna talk about cartoons on air when I was a child. I started thinking on it last night while I was going back home after dining with my sister. She was singing Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” theme. She was Belle and I had to complete the song with the Beast parts (older sisters are always arrogant!). It has been shocking how, after so many years, we still remember the whole lyric, surely because we saw it thousand times. Once Disney used to produce not simply cartoons, but real pieces of art. Plots, sketches, dialogues and song were make to be forever and to remain in children’s heads at least for a year, when the new cartoon was out. However, they were so awesome that are in our heads for the whole life. Cartoons like “The Lion King”, “Aladdin”, “Hercules”, I saw them so many time to wear out the tape, and I was never bored to watch them. They were totally different one with the other to be unique was essential. I am not still talking how gorgeous were for us, little girls, the Princesses. Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Aurora were our idol, always beautiful, kind and elegant. Their clothes were a dream (the name of my blog come from it) that all of us were looking for Carnival, and what about their amazing boyfriends? Always awesome and rich (that Princesses were not stupid at all!). Now that cartoons don’t exist anymore (here it is the granny!), there are just business production, made for earn as much possible and them be lost after few months. Love story now are amongst monsters, worriers or aliens. All the same and that magic has disappeared. That’s why I stopped and I thought how lucky I am, even if old, I’ve been a child when cartoons were the most beautiful, that will be with me for the rest of my life.

In the pics my second outfit in Rome, that I wore for a truly important meeting. How amazing is this city?

ITALY HAS CHANGED, BUT ROME IS ROME

Happened to you to have to deal with someone that you can’t really suffer? I’m sure yes. The true is that I think to be a person with a nice nature. Obviously, I have thousand weaknesses, like everyone, but the true is that I do not show them to people that are not really near me. In the case I see someone once a month surely I do not show off the worst part of me, but I try to keep the conversation as much friendly and pleasant possible. Unluckily I found out it’s not like that for anyone. There are people that, even if they rarely meet you, do their best for madding their presence every time more revolting. That people that always have a dig at you, that talk vaguely referring things from your life. I do not understand this kind of person. Even because I do not understand which kind of advantage they take contradicting you all the time resulting only annoying. I know a couple of people like that.  You’ll suggest me: stop meeting them. They are part, we can say, of some relation that in the life are not a choice. Are that in-law relatives that you have to see once a month. I am sure what I am talking about, and that many of you will agree with me. So girls, how can we survive from this rapports that are forced by life and we wanna avoid? We have just to be outclass, emotionless and have pity for that people which goal in life is to bother you. Furthermore, what these poor people do not understand it’s that when we feel good with ourselves and what we do, no provocation in the world would hurt us, and poor figure are for those that spend their lives trying to irritate the others. That’s why girls I advice you to never return whose provoke you, ignoring them it’s better. In fact, you should feel pleased by them, everyone knows, envy is a great kind of admiration.

In the pics I show you the first of two days spent in the amazing Rome for few meetings. I have no words to describe the gorgeous city, that it’s a real treasure full of art and history. In any corner there is a masterpiece, it’s really a place that left you astonished for the disarming beauty. And, as you have seen on my INSTAGRAM profile, the food is delicious. Me and Save spent two lovely days, I hope to go there again soon.
