The Red Lady

Days are flying, faster than light, in front of my eyes. There are so many things I should do in such a sort time that I am sure I will not be able to finish everything I planned to before leaving for Italy in just few days. The Big Day is now just a week [...]

Hand in Hand

Many times people told me I love PDA, Public Display of Affections, and it is absolutely true.

Few days ago Fabiana was checking the comments on one of her photos and she remain shocked when someone left a homophobic comment. The comment itself was left by someone with no respect and it was erased: this are the things that make me feel proud of [...]
