Stuck in Seattle Airport

Yes, that's right, I'm stuck in Seattle airport maybe for the rest of the night, I'm having a starbucks and listening to Aerosmith and both of them are like a little peace of heaven in the middle of a sucky situation: long long story...

I promise I'll tell you and I'll upload the whole trip on the next post. Well long story short, it was a school trip.

Thanks to my totally idiotic non prepared trip directors (notice that I'm being very careful with the world I'm saying), yes, we lost our flight back. Our departure was at one, and of course we were supposed to be here like one hour before that, but somehow, the people that had all of our come tickets (we hadn't seen them, and belived blindly in whatever the directors said), thought that if we got there 10 minutes earlier, we would have been fine.

Right now I'm stuck in in Seattle airport, I'm hungry, my feet are soar from walking all day long, and my head hurts, although writing about my problems has definetely helped.

It's a very complicated situation, you see, we were 14 people, and 7 of them did catch the flight cause they had the ticket confirmation or pin or something like that, so there are 7 post adolescents supossedly dependent on some school techers, alone in texas for the night (that's the place we were supossed to spend the night before hitting the road back home).
By the way, the other 6 people I'm with ... I had never seen or had a conversation with them before the trip, 2 of them teachers, and all of the others are male specimens, they make me laugh like hell but come on! I don't usually make friends that easily and that fast.

by the way I loved Seattle.

well, i'll talk to you later... I don't have much time cause this is not my computer =/.

Thank god I didn't spend all of my money buying clothes, cause right now I have enough to live for two days at the airport

Charlotte Casiraghi




The other day I was visiting the Fashion Spot, as I very commonly do when I generally find myself with some free time and lap top at my hands, and I found a threat about Charlotte Casiraghi, who is one of the people I look up to. For those of you who don’t know who she is, she’s princess of Monaco. I actually don’t consider myself a fan of royal families, beyond thinking that Harry and William are cute, but who doesn’t?

I think I started to interest in Charlotte’s life since I found out that she practiced my favorite sport some years ago, equestrian jumping, and that she actually wanted to become a professional (pretty cool, huh?), I later found out that she spoke 5 languages, studied literature and piano, and didn't crawl for attention of the media. I use to see her among the crowds and some other royals in Chanel fashion shows, and reading the posts in the Fashion spot, made me want to write about her. Basically, a lot of people say that she lost her fashion sence when she grew out of her teen years, and additionally she also lost some of her beauty.

wait.. what? Can you believe that while most of us were on our awkward stage (very awkward in my case), some people say that those years were the peak of her beauty?



From my point of view, I'm glad that she's trying out new things, and got tired of living and sleeping in couture. I've always loved the formal
gown in her, but hey she's just a girl like you and me, if she wants to wear jeans and flip flops, let her wear jeans and flip flops!,
I don't know why, but I get the impression, that she doesn't put her mind a lot into what she's wearing, sometimes she looks very average, sometimes she looks very edgy, sometimes she manages to look awkward, but most of the times, as I said before, dressed up she looks like effortless elegant and flawless, which is the thing I think made her capture the attention among some other royals, she became a criticizable fashion icon.



My theory is that before, (her being a public figure, and considering she was young) her style was a little more controlled?? maybe??, maybe by her mother, or whatever royal clothing aid she had; and now like most of us young people, likes to explore new styles.

These are some pics (first two) taken second half of last year, and some taken 5 years ago (last two), do you think she lost her je ne sais quoi? What I do have to criticize is that she's got that horrible posture, finally I understand my mother's frustration and why she's always bugging me about... Stand up straight!!
