Not Even Italian!

So, given that I have all the time in the world (NOT!) I decided to run a little (and I do mean tiny) blog in italian and mainly focusing on the marvelousness of Virginia Raffaele (at the moment, but more will eventually come along). I had pointed her out in my 2011 post for her amazing character of Paula Gilberto Do Mar but fallen head over heels for all of her impersonations ever since. 

So, long story short, "Ma Io Non Sono Nemmeno Italiano" (But I'm not even italian) is a mini collection of all the Italophone sources of fascination, or in this case, humor. So far, I've managed to render -mainly via typography- some of the thigh-slapping situations and skits Virginia Raffaele delivers live every Sunday on Rai 2's "Quelli che il calcio…" which (gasp!) is a live show about soccer!

Oh, and tomorrow I fly to Milan. Really.

On A Lighter Note: "We Gon' Find You"

Before I plunge into a frenzy of fashion-related posts, I thought I should post this.

I stumbled upon the original video from the news a few days ago and I have to confess that I was very amused by "We gon' fiiiind you" (which was also the quote of the day at the office yesterday). 

Then I found the track by The Gregory Brothers (A.K.A. Auto Tune The News) and I was blown away. (Really, how many of the singers out there are really singing?) These guys are amazing! I posted one of their Auto tune the news tracks quite a few months ago, and I was aware of how good they are, but this is phenomenal!

Oh, and number three on the iTunes chart!
