QotD: Step into My Closet

How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?
Submitted by fightinggale.

Including all kinds, from sandals to boots, seventyfour.

eeehhhh, I know.... It's shameful to have so many, and it's even more shameful to know exactly the number without even have to think about it.

Most of them are in the price range $ 5-25, though, and the most expensive of all (around $100, ok, this time I'm ashamed for sure...) is a pair of short flat black boots that are absolutely all purpose. I wore them in the Death Valley and I wore them to go dancing, I can wear them with bare feet, with socks, with stockings and they never hurt my oh-so-Cinderella-sensitive-and-ever-blistering feet... so I think it was a good purchase. And they're also a travel souvenir, as I bought them in a lovely store in Helsinki. (you see them in the pic down there)

There are some of my shoes I seldom wear, but only about 5-6 pairs. Having sensitive feet, I change every day, so every pair "touches the skin" in a different place, if I wear the same pair for 3-4 days it'll end up in blisters, sure as hell.

The least worn (but most treasured hehehehehe) are the neon pink platform & 15 centimeters-stiletto-heeled sandals I bought on Sunset Boulevard LA. That shop was something unbelievable. I loved EVERY SINGLE SHOE THERE, I was plastered to the shop window like a band-aid... then my understanding and loving partner took me in the shop for a small gift. After all, I'm from Italy, how many times will I have the occasion to buy shoes on Sunset Boulevard???

I'm sure you ladies out there understand me perfectly!! :)))

THE WATCH phototour 2007-2008

Our great stick&bass player Cristiano made this short movie with the pics he shot on tour with his phone... and he did a hell of a good job, don't you think???

(and no, I was NOT choking the keyboardist, in case you're wondering... I was just massaging his back!) :))))

If you could go back and change one thing you've done in your life, what would it be?

I want to be the person I am today, and my choices and experiences have made me so, so I wouldnt'n change anything, not even the evident mistakes.

QotD: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

nobody@vox.com(Sol) — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:39:25 +0100

How are you celebrating St. Patrick's Day?

Of course wearing green!!! With a bright green scrunchy around my ponytail, green earrings and rings, and a shamrock pin on my jacket!

My irish dance school organized a lovely dinner in a pub, and after dinner we had all the tables removed and danced a lot of jigs and reels!!!!

I came home soooooo tired, but it was real fun!

What one object/thing would you take if your house were on fire?

No object or thing: I'd grab my cats (with their transport boxes, if time allows, for their safety) and run! meeeeeeeeeeow!

QotD: Meaningful Words

nobody@vox.com(Sol) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:17:26 +0100

What is your favorite quote and why?

I can't seem to find the exact words, but I think Oscar Wilde said "A newborn baby is nothing but a digestive tube with a lot of noise at one end and scarce sense of responsibility at the other"

why? because people seem to find babies owwwwwwww sooo cuuuuute and I find them too noisy and usually smelly, and I'm looked at as an alien..... :)))))

QotD: Daylight Saving Time

nobody@vox.com(Sol) — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 09:55:29 +0100

Love it or hate it, many of you lost an hour of sleep last night due to Daylight Saving Time? Worth It? Do you like it more/less now that Daylight Saving Time occurs earlier (and later) in the year?

I absolutely HATE DST! First of all, I'm not so convinced it saves anything in energy or money. Then consider I hate summer, I'm more a fall/winter type, I love when sunsets come early and the evening is long and crispy cold.... so seeing the sun still up in the sky at 9PM beats hard on my nerves.... it means summer is coming, and for me (loved by mosquitoes, prone to sunburns and summerhater since always) that is DEFINITELY NO GOOD NEWS!

We used to have 6 months of normal time and 6 of DST, as DST used to start at the end of march and end on the last saturday of September (my birthday is sep.30th, so it was a nice b'day gift!) :)))

Since 7-8 years ago DST lasts to the last saturday of OCTOBER, and it's UNFAIR! Why 7 months out of 12??? And with only 5 of normal time? They stole me TWO months, not one!!!!

ooomph..... :(((((

How did you create your username for VOX? What influenced your decision?
Submitted by Strive2Be.

I just used my real name+surname, becase I'm on the web exactly as I am in life, I feel no need to be someone else....
