One sunny day in September 2008, this stunning naked brunette was smiling at Turinese passers-by from this mega-poster, asking us: “Discover Turin! What were you thinking of?” (Pun intended: scopri! is the imperative form of the italian verb scoprire, which means either to discover or to expose.) Basically it was an advertising campaing to bring the citizens closer to the commercial activities of their own districts through a free brochure, but a political-moral frenzy ensued – oddly enough, since the initiative sponsorship was given by the same Council of Turin whose logo is clearly visible on the poster – so that shortly afterwards the manifesto was removed in a big hypocritical hurry. Alas. The Stunning Naked Brunette is Eugenia (or Jevgenia) Nevonen from Estonia. I’m pretty sure that sickly moral crusade ruined her career as a model, while those fat ass bigots are always down there in the Municipality palace making a lot of money to the detriment of our community. She was promptly interwieved by our most famous local paper, La Stampa, revealing herself as a smart, charming and witty girl. Hence I’m gonna dedicate my new blog or photo novel or call-it-whateveryou-want, entitled Scopri Torino! oh yessa, to Jevgenia The Stigmatized Beauty but also to Shaun Ryder, Sergio Simeoni, Iggy Pop, Ron Asheton, Sean Penn, Jonathan Lethem, Phil Lynott, Johnny Thunders, Philip K.

PINK RIBBON Seasons of wither I’m wandering in Pellerina Park holding my digital camera. People think I’m crazy but I don’t give a damn ’cause I’m way beyond their tired and narrow minds, I’m beyond good and evil, yeah high on Pop Group dissonant guitars, alien sounds that fuel the fire of my curiosity and if you say that curiosity killed the cat I’ll just shrug and leave you behind, Mr or Mrs Banality. Agur... if you don’t know the meaning of this world, oh just google it, it’s Basque. Got no time to waste. Got no time to lose ’cause I’m looking for a sign. I’m looking for a ribbon. Seasons of wither leaves are dying and I’m thinking about healty boobs. SAVE THE TA-TAS! Tatas® Brand is committed to stopping cancer. They give a portion of every sale to end the disease. Every purchase counts because every purchase creates a donation. Do you love boobs? From the Dawn of Time, boobs have been shaping history – destroying careers, crippling world powers. But feeding us all generation after generation, mostly. Love em or hate em, they are fun-da-mental. Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! If you really love your bubs boobs, donate. Yessa donate your contribution, empathize, slam whoever criticize, love life in the sunrise drinking tequila! Seasons of wither I’ve just caught a glimpse of the ribbon. Suddenly I feel the wind of memory. I take the wind right out of your heavenly sails. Whoosh. A Duran Duran vinyl on the turntable. Whoosh. An argument between us about the curtains. Whoosh. You swimming in the pool, brilliant trainer. Whoosh. You just married, smiling, shiny happy drinking people around you. Whoosh. Your son is born. Whoosh. Chemotherapy. Whoosh. Your last breath on that fuckin’ hospital bed. You’re gone. Click. I took a picture of the pink ribbon. My eyes are wet. Ooh, woe is me crying. Click, another pic. Good job Mauri. It’s enough. Off to my car I go. Goodbye, Dani sista. Arrivederci. 3
