The story of a picture ...

               

This might look a bit naive but , let me tell you, it is alcohol!, it was taken at a pub in Paris, in a bar across from Place Vendome. I was with friends and we wanted to see the non-romantic and alternative side of the city.

This picture is a portrait  in memory my best holiday ever, and even though I haven’t had many superb holidays, because most of time I prefer visiting my family more tan anything else, I have had some memorable ones.

It was the year 2008, if I don’t remember incorrectly; and I was under big stress because I had had several problems at my job. Anyway, to make a long story short, I dropped by the place I used to work for and they told me: “here you are”… it was a NICE, FAT Christmas bonus.

That day, I was with a friend of mine who was leaving on a tour that same afternoon, and after hearing that I had received my present, she shouted at me, from the entrance: “Man!!!! Let’s go together!!!”….

Two hours later, we were travelling around 2 countries, we meant to tour as much as possible, getting to see idyllic landscapes and also, both being teachers, we wanted to share with the locals and not visiting the typical touristic places.

The toured over Amsterdam (red district and all), Brussels (nice beer!) and finally Paris, where the picture was taken. we spent nearly 3 weeks travelling, and from that improvised adventure, there are many stories we can tell, and another thousand anecdotes, I cannot let you know in this blog entry’s extension.

My favourite movie scene:

I am very fan of watching movies, I have watched many but I have a huge problem with my memory. It’s just I cannot remember any movie straight away!, I have to think it over to remember the plot, and this time has not been the exception and to write about my favourite movie scene I have had to go over several movies so as to remember.

Party Monster is a movie depicting the story of rise and fall of the infamous New York City party promoter Michael Alig. It is an American factually based biographical drama film directed by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, and starring Macaulay Culkin as the drug-addled "king of the Club Kids". 

My favourite scene is when, in the movie, the movement of party-fabulous-kids decided to make a party in the back part of a big truck. As people, all in very fancy dresses, go in the truck, the director shows us a closeup of the driver, who happens to be a drag queen, she is swallowing an LSD and guess what, it’s Marilyn Manson!!! 

There is another scene I love a lot in which Macaulay Culkin is taught on “how to be Fab”, and his friend gives him all the hints and clues on how to become a popular guy in the very competitive New York scene.

I love this movie for its music, for it’s very “light” but yet amusing, and in particular I love this scenes because I find them hilarious and extravagant, just the way I am, well, a little bit.

Here I give you the two scenes I selected.
