PICS
This time we were waiting for All Time Low, Tom Delonge's project Angels and Airwaves, the great Social Distortion, the Kooks and my all time favorite, the GreenDay.
I started listening to the GreenDay when I was an early teen, their music made me laugh and cry and get angry throughout my adolescence and I still like 'em, though the last album I bought was American Idiot and I'm not fond of their more commercial tendency. I'm a huge fan and always fancied watching their live exhibition.
This being said, for some strange reason I forgot about their presence at the I-Day and I didn't realize it until few days ago, when friends of mine asked me if I wanted to go to Bologna with them. I said yes but had no time to get the ticket - no big deal, they didn't get 'em too and we were supposed to buy them there.
Saturday night, the night before the festival, we went out all together with other mutual friends, to party. I missed so much having fun and getting tipsy with my ladies AHAH!
Btw, while we were just tipsy, one of the guy who had to be at the gig with me the day after was drunk as fuck, puking everywhere and falling asleep on the grass.
I went to bed at 3.45 a.m., praying inside my heart that the guys would have been on time that afternoon.
Obviously, they weren't.
It took forever for them to pick me and up, reach Bologna and find a place where to park the car, and when we reached the tickets booth we discovered the gig just went sold out! Oh noessss!
We had to turn to a scalper and I was ready to spend way much more money that how was originally required for the ticket. But... big surprise: the scalper was selling the tickets at 30€ (while their real price was 46, strange uh? Scalper are supposed to sell the tickets at way more money! Remember this detail) so we didn't miss the chance and bought the tickets.
Please, remember also this: it was 4.30 p.m. when we found out that the gig was sold out and decided to buy the tickets from the scalper - this means that a lot of tickets had just been sold.
We got inside missing the All Time Low (but honestly nobody cared lol), just in time to see Angels and Airwaves. Nothing compared to Blink182, of corse! But I relate so many things to their songs, as an ex made me know the band. I even lost my virginity to one of their songs, six years ago *romantic moment* XD
Two beer and then we were ready for Social Distortion! Man, I must confess I liked them but not followed their work as it deserved to, but from now on I will... they effin' rocked! Their version of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues was so great, and songs like Dear Lover and Far Behind gave me goosebumps. And what about Machine Gun Blues? AHHHH! Soooo cool! 
When they left the stage, we went for another beer, all excited: it was time for the GreenDay and their stooge, the Kooks.
While waiting for my beer, I got an sms from my boyfriend at home: "I've just read on the internet that Billie Joe Armstrong has been hospitalized" and the only things that cross my mind is that must be a joke. 3G didn't work so nobody can check the news online.
We didn't have to wait too much to drive our doubts away: from a loudspeaker we were informed that Billie Joe Armstrong had been indeed hospitalized and the festival is concluded.
"Your tickets will be completely refound" - such a cold comfort for all the people waiting for their fave band! >_<
We headed back home, and I crushed on my bed sleeping for something like ten hours. That's the end of it.
What makes me upset are the conclusions I've reached reading online articles and watching the news, added to what I've seen being there.
Billie Joe was hospitalized around 11 a.m. that sunday morning. Common sense lead me to think if you're hospitalized, even for something not that severe, you know you won't be ready to perform on a stage that evening - so, why the hell the staff didn't announce the cancellation and stop selling tickets?!
They tried to keep everything silent for FIVE HOURS and HALF, hours when they were making a lot of money not only with the tickets, but also with everything they were providing inside: food, drinks, merch. 
The news leaked at some point, that's why we found tickets sold at a lower price: the scalper might have known about it and decided to get rid of all the tickets at that moment.
That sucks. 
We were told we will just have to bring our ticket to any official reseller and we'll be completely refound, but I'm not that sure we'll receive all the money back as they told from the stage. I guess we'll get back a percentage. At least, having bought mine for less, it'll be almost a complete refund. We'll see...
Anyway, no amount of money will ever make me happy as the GreenDay gig would have! For sure!
Okay, end of the chronicle of my sunday.
In other news, this week I'm gonna shoot another set for the site, YAYYYY! No staff photographer this time, as I couldn't seem to arrange a shooting yet, nonetheless I'm sure the result will be amazing.
His name is Andrea Tomas Prato and I've worked with him before - do you remember the pictures I've published on here? ^^
I cannot wait, people!
In the meantime, minus clothes is still in member review. Let's give it another chance to get on the front page! It's a funny, sexy set after all... uhm? 
Time to go.
Here some good music for you!

your Lauretta
Don't forget to stalk me everywhere 
Twitter ---> ranting and venting and tweeting silly things 
Tumblr ---> I post a lot of pictures from my photosets
Instagram @brokendollhatesyou ---> pics from my everyday life
Prepare for a huuuuge, saucy blog post as I've been off for something like twenty days and I've so much to talk about. You ready?!
Let me start with the Festa della Libertà (fuck, even the translation for english speaker sounds über cool, "Freedom Fest"!). Like every first weekend of August, in Zocca, a small town on the mountains not that far from where I live, a local no-profit association organizes three days of free music, free camping and cheap food - and booze, of course - in order to promote local bands. It's always amazing and this years hasn't been an exception.
Too bad I was too drunk and busy being happy with friends, so I didn't take any pic - what a shame! Gotta upload two pics I've found online.
This was the party locations:
And this was the dawn, sunday morning:
Place was great, music was great, people even greater: my love, my gals, my friends... I loved it ♥
Few days after that crazy weekend, the bf and I left for almost two weeks of pure realx and pleasure in Krk island, in the north of Croatia.
I couldn't believe that crystal water was the Adriatic see, 'cause on its italian side it looks like a gutter (due to the Po river's delta, I guess). Anyway, the sea was enchanting:
Buying the croatian currency - called "kuna" - is still rather cheap, and so it's life cost, especially when it comes to food: grilled meat, lots of vegetables and fresh fish is what we ate during our staying.
Healthy food, swimming and walking a lot every day, sunbathing... I was about to forget my bad habits
Luckily, booze and cigarettes are way cheaper in Croatia, so I felt like home on that side 
We made new friends at the camping, too bad we couldn't take 'em home...
Now, getting back to everyday life sucks big balls but it's something I have to do.
I'm gonna face few changes these upcoming months. As some of you might know, I graduated and got my Bachelor degree in Science of the Communication last May. I wanted (and still want) to take a Master degree too, so I was planning to go back on the books in September. Fact is I couldn't figure out yet what aspect of what I've studied I'm interested the most in.
Writing, yes... but writing what? Journalism? And what kind of journalism? Video-making? Exactly, writing a subject, filming or editing?
Money is extremely tight at the moment and I don't want to waste it on a bad choice, so I've decided to wait and find a job.
Somebody pointed me out that a large-distribution organization, which is a Coop and not a s.p.a., was looking for neo-graduated people for their annual apprenticeship course for "junior floor managers".
After five stressful steps of selection (made of an aptitude test, téte-à-téte job interviews and a group test with other candidates), I've been chosen with 9 other guys among an hundred of candidates. From September to March I'll have to follow classes and work under the supervision of a tutor, I'll have to work on my own project and - at the end of the course - I'll be tested and evaluated. Salary it's low (but better than nothing at all!), but it's an interesting opportunity and it's a "softer" way to enter the world of Working People - 'cause yes, I've worked before, but not on a regular base and for long periods of time, and I've always considered myself more a student making some money, than an actual "worker".
Also, I won't waste too much money on gas or public transportation, 'cause I can easily reach the workplace from both my home and my boyfriend's place - which is something heartwarming, as I feared I would have to see him a lot less.
I don't know what to expect from this experience, let's see what will happen... I'll let you know. I'm trying to stay as optimistic as I can 
Obviously, there will be dark sides too, like the fact that I'll have to take a hiatus from modeling as I won't have the time for it. Don't worry, I'm not giving up! Just be prepared to be flooded with trashy and amateurish cam pics, and keep faith in the arrival of Spring, with other professional and respectable shoots of yours truly
Talking to pictures, one of my last works before the hiatus will be the shooting for The Fable Girls, the one YOU made me win! I don't have enough words to tell everyone of you who voted on my pics how much I'm grateful. Just, thanks. Really!
I'll keep you updated with the developing of this great project, I can't wait myself for shooting it and seeing the results, and what will come next.
Again, thank you for all the love you're spreading on minus clothes. In few weeks it'll be an year since Lavezzaro and I met in dirty Milano to shoot it. We had lots of fun and I'm sure you can tell it but my faces in the pictures.
I still think it deserves to get bought, and if you agree with me keep on loving: we won't be featured on the main page, but we will keep track of your affection, and treating it as a source of inspiration for the next sets.
Time to go, see you around here folks!

your Lauretta 
It's incredible, june too is almost gone. When has time started to run this fast, exactly?!
Anyway, I'm trying to enjoy my summer as much as I can
For the second year in my life, I'm not avoiding sun and I'm willing to reach a golden color as I've noticed it suits me better - but this doesn't mean I'm not taking care of my skin: my complexion is still very fair and I'm full of moles, so I'm stick with sunscreen with a high SPF, but I don't get mad if my skin gets a bit darker - as I used to do when I was a goth teenager LOL
Weather is incredibly hot due to the anticyclone that keeps clouds away and makes the sun shine directly on our sweating heads, we had to face the 40°C in a way or another, so...
...homemade pool! AHAHAH!
Me watching football games on TV:
not really caring that much, you know, but Italy is playing well and I *try* to be a little patriotic. But I keep on failing XD
Lately, I'm trying to spend more time with my friends. Being in a relationship doesn't mean forgetting all the other people around you!
Irma, me, Cate and Valeria. And a glass of red wine, of course!
Two days ago my boyfriend's band has performed on a stage for a charity gigs with a lot of other artist from the italian rock scene. Among the others, I've had the pleasure to meet the amazing Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil:
she's not only one of the greatest voices in the heavy metal world scene, but she's also a really easy-going person... and an hot lady
Hey, I've discovered a new app to customize my pics and this means if you're not already following my on Instagram, now you have to! Look for Lauretta Suicide and you won't be pissed, I promise.
I wish you all a happy and hot end of the month!
