There is something about the calmness of 

floating weightlessly

unique ethereal quality.

New BRIGHT RED Hair!

So a few weeks ago I decided that I was bored with my natural hair colour (which is blonde) again.  I had grown it out for our recently wedding but it was time for another change.  I have had my hair different shades of every natural colour that you can have (brown, red, black, blonde) so I decided that I was going to go with something brighter.  I was surprised at the different reactions that people had to this decision.  I was told that it was juvenile and inappropriate for someone my age.  I am 25.  I realize that most 25 year olds are not dying their hair bright colours...but I am not like most.  

Dying your hair a bright colour is associated with teenage rebellion because that is the age that most people decide to be creative, spontaneous and unique.  These are qualities that I personally would like to keep.  Why are we all in such a hurry to grow up and be boring and judgemental?  Why can't we all hold on to the open-mindedness that we all possessed when we were younger?  


I hope I have the guts to dye my hair this colour again when I am 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85.......

i love the rabbit the rabbit loves me.

From 2005 to 2025 it’s possible to catch sight of a huge pink bunny on Piedmontese hill.

It is an installation made by Gelitin, a group of four Viennese artists who began collaborating in 1993.

"The things one finds wandering in a landscape: familiar things and utterly unknown, like a flower one has never seen before, or, as Columbus discovered, an inexplicable continent;
and then, behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy.
The toilet-paper-pink creature lies on its back: a rabbit-mountain like Gulliver in Lilliput. Happy you feel as you climb up along its ears, almost falling into its cavernous mouth, to the belly-summit and look out over the pink woolen landscape of the rabbitÌs body, a country dropped from the sky;
ears and limbs sneaking into the distance; from its side flowing heart, liver and intestines.
Happily in love you step down the decaying corpse, through the wound, now small like a maggot, over woolen kidney and bowel. 

Happy you leave like the larva that gets its wings from an innocent carcass at the roadside.
Such is the happiness which made this rabbit.

i love the rabbit the rabbit loves me."

After almost 5 years of knitting the rabbit found its final place in the italian alps (close to Cuneo). It waits there to be visited by you. You might even take your time or check back every now and then as the rabbit will wait for you 20 years from now on.
