Vintage Hairstyle

Hi Cats and Kittens,
I always like trying out different retro hairstyles on my hair and here's one that's easy to create. I use soft curlers, brush them out and then make a victory roll using a section of hair from the front part of my head. I've always wanted curly hair....I guess we always want what we don't have! 
***************************************************
Ciao a tutti,
Mi piace sperimentare diverse acconciature retrò sui miei capelli ed ecco uno stile che mi viene abbastanza bene. Uso dei bigodini morbidi e poi creo un boccolo grande (tipo cannolo) con un ciuffo di capelli dalla parte frontale. Ho sempre voluto capelli ricci.....già, l'erba del vicino è sempre più verde! 
Anzi, i capelli del vicino sono sempre più belli!! 

Frizzy hair!!
Mamma mia, che capelli crespi quì!
Instead of my usual winged eyeliner and red lipstick, I created a brown smokey eye and applied clear lip gloss to my lips.
******************************************************
Invece del solito eyeliner alato e il rossetto rosso, ho fatto uno smokey eye marrone e ho applicato un gloss trasparente sulle labbra.

Sayonara for now and have a great week

Buona settimana a tutti

A Rockin' New Year

Happy New Year guys and dolls!
How did you celebrate? I sure ate a lot.
Then I sang a few tunes and played my beloved Elvis records.
This is what I wore on New Year's Eve:
******************************************************
Buon Anno a tutti!
Come avete festeggiato?? Io ho mangiato e mangiato.
Poi ho messo i dischi del mio cantante preferito ;)
Ecco come mi sono vestita la vigilia di Capodanno:
A ''resting'' pose. Swinging them arms and legs around is hard work, you know!

Here's to a rockin' 2016!

A snack with The King

Having worn my Elvis apron-dress today, I just had to make something from 
The Presley Family Cookbook. This book is full of Elvis' favorite southern dishes. 
Since I had some wholewheat bread and natural peanut butter in the house, 
I decided to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
 I have to say, Elvis and I share the same taste in food!! <3
Though I have a big appetite, I'm a pretty lousy cook... 
I think my sandwiches turned out all right though. 
What do you think, are they fit for a King? ;)
Visto che oggi mi sono messa il mio grembiule-vestito con Elvis dappertutto, ho tirato fuori il ricettario della famiglia Presley e ho prepararato dei tramezzini con burro d'arachidi e banane. Una delle pietanze preferite di Elvis! 
Che ne pensate, questi panini sono degni di un Re? ;)

Cosplay and Comic Convention in Palermo

Hi everyone! Last Sunday, I went to a Cosplay and Comic Convention in Sicily, with my friends Aury and Ros. Here are the pics of the event:
**********************************************
Ciao a tutti! Domenica scorsa sono andata al Comic Convention a Palermo con i miei amici Aury e Ros. Ecco degli scatti dell'evento:
I decided to go as...myself; a Japanese 1950s gal. Being half Japanese, I really don't need to put on a costume at these events. I'm the real Japanese deal!! ;)
****************************************
Sono andata vestita da...me stessa, ragazza giapponese anni 50. 
Mica mi devo travestire, io che sono giapponese doc!! ;)
My friend's costume was awesome, she even made the sword herself!!
*****************************************************
Aury era fantastica nel suo costume. Ha pure fatto la spada a mano!!

How cool is Ross's shirt?? // Bella la maglietta di Ros!
This sweet girl came running after me for a picture because she said she 
loved my pin-up look.
***************************************************
Questa ragazza dolcissima mi è corsa dietro per fare una foto insieme, dicendomi che sembravo una pin-up! 
I had told my friends ''I hope I bump into Elvis at the event'' and guess what?? I actually did!!! This is a vintage Japanese Elvis record<3
**************************************************
Avevo detto ai miei amici ''Spero di incontrare Elvis all'evento..'' ed infatti è stato così! Ecco un disco vintage giapponese di Elvis <3
Aury and me, tired but happy! 
Stanche ma felici ^_^

Ok, I gotta run. 
Batman (a.k.a Matteo Volpe) is giving me a lift to Gotham city in his Batmobile.

************************************************

Devo lasciarvi. 
Batman (Matteo Volpe) mi da uno strappo a Gotham city con la sua Batmobile!

Pretty Flamingo

Hi dolls, hope you're enjoying September. It's my favorite month; I'm a September Virgo ;) Taking advantage of this lovely weather, here I am wearing my Banned flamingo dress and perfect for the occasion, my Fernando the Flamingo brooch from Jess Collinge (www.jesscollinge.com). 
Remember this post on Jess Collinge's pineapple brooch? :) 
These brooches are even prettier in person <3
Here I'm thinking ''What other pose should I do...?''
Fernando wanted to be in the spotlight too!


Have a great week and remember: ''be a flamingo in a world full of pigeons''! Sorry, no offence, pigeons!! 
**************************************************
Buona settimana a tutti e ricordatevi: 
''siate dei fenicotteri rosa in un mondo pieno di piccioni''! 
Senza offesa ai piccioni!!

The Rockin' Days

Hi darlins

My birthday is coming up and I realized that I never posted pictures of the little jukebox that my mother gave to me for my birthday last year. It's actually a CD player in disguise but it still rocks my socks off!!! :)

******************************************************

Ciao bambole,

Il mio compleanno si sta avvicinando e mi sono resa conto che non ho mai postato foto del piccolo jukebox che ho ricevuto da mia madre l'anno scorso per il mio compleanno. In realtà è un lettore CD travestito da jukebox...... ma io lo adoro lo stesso!!! 
 Here are some of my vintage Elvis albums, these are authentic ;)

Have a rockin' day sweetie pies!
