The road trip was great, one friend djing, other driving, great talk, great laughs.

The city is full of antique stores, you could spend a whole day checking it. We went to a thrift store and I bought a luggage I thought was a old one but then my friends they said it is not so old. but I wanted it to be a decoration in my place in SP which Im moving soon and also I needed a smaller luggage to go to Montreal ina  few days. So it serves for both.

Ms Satie


Another loss last week. This friend also deserves a post here and here it is.
Carol Satie, a fucking fashion designer friend and also my fake cousin who I adore.
She is adorable, She is short, She is cute, She is funny, She is passionate for life.
She makes amazing clothes. She makes amazing shoes. She has little balls tattooed on her arms.
She loves regional music. She plays some music. She has an amazing family. She has the babies of my dog.
She has a lovely nephew and niece. She will draw my wedding dress.
She is far now…London stole another friend of mine. But this is another excuse to go there and see them.
Carol I wish you all the best …and I hope you can be surrounded by many Portuguese and Spanish guys (hihihi) I know you adore them.
I love you from the bottom of my heart. I hope I can read many and many funny emails like you sent some days ago. I’m here cheering for you.
