ISN'T IT LOVELY?!?!

Tomorrow morning I'm gonna go at my workplace wearing my watch... 

See what happen... 

Sure my ex boss (a beautiful, fashionable woman) will appreciate it!!

ANGELS

Working with my imagination, starting from my new watch!

MY NEW SWATCH

I knew this watch would be mine!!!!

I saw it for the first time two months ago in Milan, at Swatch Flagship Store in Corso Vittorio Emanuele and I fell in love with it from the very first moment.

I didn't want to buy it 'cos that day I had already spent loads of money in other useless things so I was not totally sure, but when I got off the shop I regretted it.

Then my watch broke so I thought that the time had come to buy that crazy white watch! :-) But when I came back to the flagship they told me that they were run out of it.... that's why I regretted even more!!!

Finally today in Parma I had the change to see it and I knew that I couldn't miss it! 
This piece is one of the 777 white winged swatch designed by the american designer Jeremy Scott.

So happy to have the opportunity to wear something special and unique that only other 776 people have in the whole world!
:-)

BODY DOUBLE

It's AMAZING!! 
It's really AMAZING this Brian De Palma's masterpiece. Everytime I watch it  seems to me that I can find new meanings, new ways to interpret the movie and the story. 
BODY DOUBLE is absolutely my favorite movie and I consider it a real piece of ART.

Body Double talks about the cinema itself and makes you realize that, during a movie, you cannot never believe your eyes 'cos it's all about fiction and you're never gonna see the truth. 


Body Double is a movie within a movie which is, again, within another movie and each character always plays, at the same time, more than one role according to the perspective you're using to read the movie. 


Jake is one of those frustrated actors of a splatter 80's B movies (the first story) looking for fame and fortune who suffers from claustrophobia who find himself involved in a mysterious situation (which is the second story of the movie). He falls in love with a mysterious woman who strips every night in front of her open window until she's murdered. Jake, who used to watch the girl every night during her private show, is the witness of this murder and tries to solve the crime in which he's been involved.

During his journey he meets Holly Body, a rising star of the Hollywood porn industry.


But at the end of the movie Jake realizes to have played the part of the witness in another one's own story: the story of a friend who was interested in killing his wife and needed an alibi and a witness to prove his innocence, and the girl that Jake used to watch every night at the window was not the real Gloria (the friend's wife) but Holly who was a body double payed to play the part of Gloria and deceive Jake.


The movie is all about crossing the line between fiction and reality and the director is interested in making us realize and be always conscious that what we're always looking at is always fiction (a movie).


This De Palma's inspiring masterpiece, whose plot borrows from two of Hitchcock most famous movie (Vertigo and Rear Window), is really my favorite movie and every time I watch it, it blows my mind.

COINCIDENCE

Leaving my hometown for Milan, a pleasant coincidence occurred on the train.

I selected the random mode on my iPod. I wanted to be surprised.

The first track that my iPod played was the Soundtrack of Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (the one also used in the intro of Lady GaGa's video "Born This Way"). This track is so powerful. It creates an incredible atmosphere of suspense.

Then the second track was a track taken from my favorite movie of all the time: Brian the Palma's "Body Double". The music is the one taken from the telescope scene when the protagonist Jake watches her neighbor stripping in front of her open window every night. This music recalls in my mind images of a mermaid who whispers and sings to seduce a man.

It's funny that my iPod decided to
make me listen these two tracks, one straightly following the other, 'cos actually they're taken from two different movies that are incredibly interconnected. Brian the Palma is obsessed with Hitchcock's movies and he loves to fill his movies with images and quotes inspired by Hitchcock and "Body Double" is an incredible manifesto of De Palma idea of "cinema" ("The camera lies all the time; lies 24 times/second.") whose plot actually starts and borrows from Hitchcock's "Vertigo" (La Donna che visse due volte) and "Rear Window" (La finestra sul cortile).

Think I'm gonna watch "Body Double" soon...
