Casual in Istanbul

For months we've been reading tons of stuff about it , saw lots of pictures and read about the review posts with envy...We know the movie's been imported by a Turkish Company but no specific release date.So we were almost run out of patience then on Thursday night Tunic called and asked if we'd like to see Brokeback Mountain?! How?when?...he said wait for Saturday night...

We don't wanna type the credits and stuff cause everyone knows all the details about this movie. It's hard to explain all our feelings in English.After reading a very good review from Andy on October , our impatience has been doubled.
From the opening to the campfire scene we tried to adjust our ears to the accent that we are very unfamiliar. It was a very good DVD copy of the movie but without subtitles.And it was really hard to understand what they were saying at the first place.
By the time this scene showed up , we stopped worrying about the words , lots of old memories started to flow in our minds : taking the first step for the very first time with best friend , scare to death , afraid of losing friendship but couldn't resist to the feeling holding him , kissing him.Being a gay in the closet , always want to come out but couldn't do that..."I wish i knew how to quit you" is a sentence that every one of us told to someone.It's been two days we saw the movie but the scenes and the words are still in our minds and surely they'll remain there for a long time...

We hope to see the movie on big screen...and Tunic , you're number one!

Roberto Bolle

Roberto Bolle has been hailed by the Italian media as the "Pride of Milan" and the "most exciting star at La Scala". The dancer was born in Casale Monferrato and entered at La Scala Ballet School when he was just a youngster. The first person to notice his talent was the legendary Rudolf Nureyev who   chose Roberto to perform the role of Tadzio in Flemming Flindt’s opera Death in Venice.

From the beginning of the season 2003-2004 Roberto Bolle is nominated étoile at La Scala.
As a practioner of the Italian style of ballet, one who is as handsome as technical, Roberto uses the magnificent proportions of his body to create perfect placement. 
Apart from being lyrical, graceful and completely expressing, his stage presentation is considered a model of efficiency and economy. 
He is a joy to watch on stage.
Since April 99 Roberto Bolle has been "Goodwill Ambassador" for Unicef.

Thanks to AtomicQueens -our newest webmates- for Roberto...

A White Day in Istanbul

Istanbul is under a white blanket again. Snow is something covers all the dirt and unpleasent things of the city. Istanbul under snow is something really great. Today we fell in love with Istanbul "again".
Especially the old city was marvellous. The mosques , the buildings(the building in the picture above is Sirkeci Grand Central Train Station), the trees under snow , and all that ancient texture were  breath-taking.

The photos are not good enough to express the real beauty of the city so everyone should come and enjoy it in real life...
