Psychic Fever Mini Career Reading

⚠️DISCLAIMER! TAROT CARDS ARE NOT 100% ACCURATE! TAKE EVERYTHING WITH A GRAIN OF SALT! IF MY INTERPRETATIONS ARE INCORRECT FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME!⚠️

How do PSYFE members feel about the groups sudden success? : 4oC, KoP rx & 3oW

The members still can not believe it. They had been promised success earlier but it wasn’t coming to fruition, and that probably led them to feel discouraged. As people say, “Your time will come.” Their time has finally come, and they have all been waiting for this day, and they really believe their hardwork has paid off and they are ready to all expand to better horizons.

PSYFE 2024 Career : 9oC, 5oS rx, 7oP, Death, 3oP, KoW rx & QoW

Their career took a whole 360° turn. With their popularity increasing, this is giving them the opportunity to show off their talent. The members have been fighting for recognition and they will be getting more as the months pass by. The members salaries/pay will certainly increase drastically, and the members will continue to work in harmony and if they active on social media, this will help expand and grow the fandom. Some members could be scared of the fame but this is their chance to grow as musicians, so those members will have to take the feeling away and go work!

Will PSYFE attend year end award shows? : PoW

Yes, and their stages will be really good! They’ll be really confident in themselves and captivate the crowd!!

Will PSYFE attend K-Con 2024? : 4oW

Yes, the members will feel extremely proud of everything going well and attending K-Con.

Will PSYFE continue gaining recognition? : 2oS & AoW

Yes, they will gain more recognition. There could be brand sponsorships/more fan interactions during fan-meetings.

Individual Members Career for 2024 :

Tsuguri: The High Priestess

He will be using his gut feeling to guide him throughout his career this year. He will probably be very secretive and introverted, and not converse as much with fans/media.

Royoga: (8oP, Hierophant rx, Strength rx) & The World rx

He will try gain more traction from fans but that will not take place. Royoga could possibly try improving his skills, but this could lead him to overworking himself. This could also lead him to going in hiatus…

Ren: (9oW, 7oS), The Empress, (3oC, QoS rx, The Hermit rx)

Ren could possibly have a huge argument with someone from work, and he could’ve felt really betrayed by that person. This will make him avoid that person, or group of people overall and he will definitely act really cold towards them.

Jimmy: PoS & QoP rx

Jimmy will be highly enthusiastic and will continue working really hard towards making his group successful. He will also assist his fellow teammates and guide them. It’s possible Jimmy will experience a work and life imbalance due to him wanting his group to succeed OR when his group succeeds he will gain more income and traction from the media.

Kokoro: AoS, ( The Fool rx & 3oS rx)

Kokoro will probably have side job during his idol life. It could take him a lot of time to think about it, but he will take that leap of faith and it will surely help him gain more income.

Ryushin: KNoP & AoP

He’ll be really successful this year, Ryushin will also gain a lot of confidence and income. He will be having a joyous 2024 lol!!

Weesa (my mannn 😫💘) : Temperance, (4oS rx & Lovers)

Weesa is a patient guy and he will continue to carry that character with him this year, if there are any arguments at work he will be the mediator and ensure everyone is happy with one another. This is so sudden, but Wessa could probably be taking a pause on his love life OR he could also be arguing/fighting with someone from work due to some judgments…

Thank you for reading 📦

Happy 2024!

We're celebrating the new year with some deep cuts from the Vignelli archives: 1970s calendars

1977 Ciba Geigy

This is a rare one! A calendar for Swiss pharmaceutical company Ciba-Geigy.

The cover reads [in six languages]:

With our best wishes for the New Year

Avec nos meilleurs voeux pour l’An nouveau

Herzlichen Glückwusch zum neuen Jahr

Con nuestros mejores votos para el Año Nuevo

Con I migliori auguri per un felice Anno Nuovo

Com os nossos melhores votos para o Ano novo

Features beautiful scenic photos of Switzerland which are accompanied by an essay about environmental conservation by Dr. Bruno Moeckli, also in six languages.  

Excerpt from “Swiss Landscapes” essay in calendar [sorry, only posting in English due to space]:

“Wild scenery in Switzerland is now confined to nature conservation areas and some alpine peaks, In the process, too little thought was given to the preservation of the physical essentials of life, namely water, air and soil. Now, what formerly gave concern only to artists and idealists becomes of vital importance to us all.

With the growing realization of the extent to which the despoilation of air, water, and other natural resources has progressed, it has also been realized that the various aspects of nature conservation and environmental protection share the same ultimate objective: to permit the harmonious co-existence of all forms of life, whether human, animal or plant, all of which require an environment in which they can continue to flourish in the future. Despite his mastery of science and technology, man is no exception to this rule. Furthermore, man as a creature of aesthetic sensibilities is capable of appreciating and benefiting from natural beauty, both physically and spiritually.”

The most pixalated video of antiprom!

[claudehenrion]

Des perspectives qui n'en sont pas...

Avant d'aller plus loin, il convient de préciser que le mot''perspective'' a (au moins) deux sens, dont l'un découle de l'autre. Premièrement : la capacité de (se) représenter des possibilités d’événements plus ou moins éloignés dans le temps. Et deuxièmement, l'art de représenter en deux dimensions ce qui en a trois dans la réalité. Le monde, dans sa chute, semble avoir tiré un trait définitif sur le premier sens, et ramené le second à un trait unique, là où il en faudrait trois... ou dix...

Franchement, ce début d'année 2024 se présente avec tous les impedimenta (rappel : bagages et charges qui entravent et limitent l'activité) qu'il faut pour flanquer un début de panique à n'importe qui. Où que se pose le regard, il n'y a que mensonges, ''non-dits'', ''sacs d'embrouilles'' et sujets d'inquiétude... dont le plus grave est sans doute l'incapacité palpable du personnel politique en place de tenir un discours qui soit un tant soit peu en ligne et en harmonie avec la dimension des drames qui se jouent, des enchaînements de catastrophes qui se nouent, des tuiles qui s'annoncent (et qui s'entassent). Nous sommes sur un volcan, et pour nous conseiller, nous n'avons, dans le meilleur des cas, que des vulcanologues amateurs, sans expérience, dans bon sens, et sans jugeote, et qui nous cachent la vérité... !

On peut les comprendre : s'ils sont un tant soit peu moins ''cons'' que ce qu'ils nous laissent voir de leur impéritie (de taille ''XXL'', pour employer une expression que j'aime bien), ils ont fini par comprendre qu'ils ne maîtrisaient ni ne contrôlaient plus rien de ce qui est ou sont leurs seuls et uniques devoir, fonction et obligation : les éviter à ceux qui leur ont (on se demande bien pourquoi, et sur quels non-critères de non-sélection !) demandé de les protéger. Ils en sont réduits à la vieille technique de l'autrefois célèbre Sapeur Camembert : ''pour boucher un trou, il suffit d'en creuser un autre, plus grand, juste à côté !''.

Les suites de cette capitulation inavouée (et même niée, par orgueil mal placé) sont connues : soit ils laissent p...faire (dans la logique du ''Je suis leur chef, donc je les suis'' de Ledru-Rollin), soit ils parlent d'autre chose (mais en prenant la précaution d'interdire de prononcer ne serait-ce que le nom de l'objet de leur impuissance)... soit ils refilent le bébé à une instance qu'ils disent ''supérieure'' --et l'ogre (du latin orcus = divinité infernale) von der Leyen est trop heureuse d'étendre les surfaces où sa perversité, son impudence et son absence de compréhension des vrais problèmes peuvent nuire sans limites (NDLR : dans ces trois capitulations, nous reconnaissons : (a)- l'écologie et le réchauffement climatique, une des pires ''arnaques du siècle''... (b)- le covid et l'immigration, deux mensonges mortels... (c)- la mort de notre civilisation occidentale).

Je me suis livré à une sorte de survol de quelques ''Unes'' disponibles en ce début d'année. Et la lecture de ces titres ne peut qu'engendrer la trouille, étant entendu –comme d'habitude-- que l'exactitude des citations est garantie et que je conserve les originaux, à fins de preuves. (1)- ''La révolte des fermiers qui monte sur l'Europe (mais que les médias français nous cachent avec soin) : les mêmes causes produisent les mêmes effets''... (2)- ''Et si le seul remaniement potentiellement efficace était celui que Macron refuse d'envisager ?''... (3)- Dans ''Atlantico Business'' : ''Les milieux d'affaires attendent un nouveau gouvernement sur 3 dossiers : la baisse des prélèvements sociaux, l'énergie, et l'Union européenne... (NDLR le premier point est hors de question, le second ''pas dans la doxa bobo-gaucho'', et le troisième... à l'opposé des fantasmes mortifères du chef et de son Europe anthropophage ! Rien de bon à attendre !). (4)- ''Guerre maritime : Derrière la guérilla en mer Rouge, l'offensive des régimes autoritaires sur les circuits-clés du commerce mondial'' ... (5)- ''Accablant ! (c'est le titre !) : Ce que dit la Cour des Comptes sur l'immigration, et ce qu'elle n'a pas vu'' !

En gros, cette série là est connue ou supposée, et nous en parlons parfois, ici. (je pense à nos récents éditoriaux sur la destruction au VIII è siècle des routes commerciales par ''les cavaliers d'Allah'', une des causes de la chute finale de l'Empire romain, qui se rejoue en mer Rouge, avec un résultat inconnu à ce jour). Thucydide, il y a 2500 ans, affirmait que l'Histoire serait un éternel recommencement. En tout cas, ce qui se passe devant nous, sans que personne ne réagisse pour de vrai, semble démontrer que les descendants de ces intrépides migrants-envahisseurs nous rejouent la même scène pourrie, avec le même espoir de nous mettre de nouveau à genoux... Cette autre série de ''Unes'' me paraît plus inquiétante, car elle touche à la fonction irrationnelle, ''magique'' peut-on dire, de notre cerveau.

Une enquête vient de chiffrer le drame de la fuite du peuple français : 30% de nos concitoyens songeraient à s'exiler. Comme nous en menaçait depuis 2004 le sauvage Abou Bakr Naji dans son livre Gestion de la barbarie, la menace ''Si vous ne vous trouvez pas bien chez nous, (NB en parlant de l'Europe !), vous pouvez partir'', a été entendue, et ce cauchemar est en train de se mettre en place : selon un sondage Opinion Way de ce 21 décembre 2023, 54 % des 18-24 ans regardent vers le grand large... et mes petits enfants me questionnent de plus en plus souvent sur mes expatriations (Maroc, Angleterre, USA). C'est déjà terrible... mais il existe d' autres points inquiétants :

Les sommes incroyables de mensonges qui ont été balancés par les ''voix officielles'' sur tous les sujets qui furent, un temps, réputés susceptibles d'apporter des voix écologistes dans les urnes (le réchauffement dû à l'homme, le danger atomique, le Co² et les énergies fossiles et la voiture électrique, ces quatre cavaliers de l'Apocalypse) ont dépassé tous les seuils d'acceptabilité... et plus personne ne croit à quoi que ce soit qui vienne ''d'en haut'', comme le démontre l'indifférence générale devant les pitoyables danses du ventre auxquelles se livrent l'exécutif et les médias pour faire croire qu'un changement de gouvernement est important. En réalité, tout le monde s'en fout, et Attal intéresse plus de gens par ses choix de vie que par sa capacité éventuelle à rompre-pour-de-vrai avec les doctrines pernicieuses de son mentor (Europe mangeuse d'hommes, immigration mal comprise, ''sociétal'' à Gauche toute, dette au fil de l'eau, et mensonge, ni...ni..., et ''en même temps''... érigés en techniques de management, '' !)  !

Plus grave encore : l'hystérie collective qui a été inoculée à la majorité des citoyens, avec les excès ridicules des simagrées liés au covid, au CO², au climat, ou à l'impression (sic !) d'insécurité due à l'immigration (re-sic !), à entraîné une perte de confiance (en voie de généralisation) dans toute autorité, donc dans la science et dans la parole des hommes de science, déconsidérés pour longtemps (nous devrons revenir très bientôt sur ces deux sujets)... A cause de choix douteux et finalement catastrophiques --ce qu'ils sont--, l'année s'ouvre sur beaucoup plus de questions angoissées que de réponses tranquillisantes... et ce n'est vraiment pas une bonne nouvelle !

MARCIN

DRAGON IN HARMONY

MARCIN lanza su álbum debut Dragon in Harmony y estrena e videoclip de "When the Light Goes" junto a Portugal. The Man. El guitarrista actuará en España en abril de 2025.

Consigue el álbum AQUÍ

Mira el videoclip de "When the Light Goes"

Con una simple guitarra en mano, MARCIN ha cautivado al público de todo el mundo, llevando su característico estilo interpretativo y su brillantez en los arreglos solistas a nuevas cotas en su esperado álbum debut de larga duración, Dragon in Harmony. El álbum, que sale hoy a la venta a través de Sony Music Masterworks, incluye composiciones originales y un amplio repertorio de versiones con arreglos del niño prodigio de la guitarra y coproducción junto a Dan Book. Acompañado por los rockeros que encabezan las listas de éxitos Portugal. The Man y la cantautora indie Delaney Bailey, así como Tim Henson y Ichika Nito como guitarristas destacados, Marcin ha reunido 14 temas que abarcan todos los géneros y que confluyen en una convincente declaración artística del fenómeno de origen polaco.

"Nací en el 2000, el Año del Dragón, y voy a publicar mi debut en 2024, otro Año del Dragón, así que me pareció una idea muy lógica", dice Marcin sobre su primer álbum, y continúa: "El dragón es una fiera mítica, indómita y caótica. Y luego tienes esta idea de armonía, que es lo contrario de eso. En los últimos años, he estado haciendo muchas cosas, pero no necesariamente fusionándolas en un todo: todo era a trozos. Pero ahora por fin estoy haciendo una declaración artística cohesionada en lugar de fracturada. El dragón está en armonía".

Marcin combina sin esfuerzo melodía, armonía y percusión de tambor manual en una colección de composiciones originales y versiones de géneros muy variados en Dragon in Harmony, su esperado álbum debut de larga duración para Sony Music Masterworks. Marcin comienza con un conjunto de originales ingeniosamente bautizados como “Guitar Is Dead” y “I Killed It” (La guitarra está muerta y yo la maté), y hace una declaración atrevidamente asertiva sobre el estado de la guitarra y su viaje personal como artista.

"Guitar Is Dead" es una especie de respuesta a los puristas de la guitarra", dice Marcin sobre el comienzo del álbum, y continúa: "Soy yo diciendo: 'Sí, tenéis razón'. La guitarra está muerta. Sigue haciendo todo lo que se ha hecho antes'. Mi objetivo siempre ha sido mostrar a un público amplio que mi estilo de interpretación no es más que otra forma de tocar la guitarra: no hay barrera de entrada".

Es un tema que se extiende a los colaboradores del álbum, ya que Marcin cuenta con el talento de Tim Henson de Polyphia en "Classical Dragon" e Ichika Nito en "I Don't Write About Girls" como guitarristas destacados, convirtiendo Dragon in Harmony en un manifiesto definitivo para una nueva generación de héroes de la guitarra. Por otro lado, Marcin recurre a los rockeros Portugal. The Man para el éxito "When the Light Goes" un videoclip que se estrena hoy y puedes ver aquí (a partir de las 15:00 pm) y la cantante indie-pop Delaney Bailey para la balada "Allergies".

Producido junto a Dan Book (blink-182, Shania Twain, Britney Spears), Dragon in Harmony también incluye una serie de versiones: Justin Timberlake, Sade y Nirvana comparten espacio en el álbum con Mozart, Debussy y Miles Davis/Bill Evans, mientras que el ingenio de Book en el estudio confiere al trabajo de Marcin el contundente impacto del alt-pop que encabeza las listas de éxitos. La colección de 14 pistas resultante no es solo una muestra de la destreza técnica de Marcin, sino también de su habilidad innata para traducir ese virtuosismo en una declaración artística amena y de larga duración sobre su carrera y el instrumento que lo empezó todo.

Con elogios de Rolling Stone, Billboard, Premier Guitar y Guitar World, que lo nombró “uno de los guitarristas con más talento de su generación”, Marcin se ha ganado millones de seguidores y fans con cada actuación. Ya sea a través de sus vídeos rompedores en Internet o de sus apariciones en exitosos concursos de talentos televisivos, en unos pocos pero explosivos años, el guitarrista de origen polaco ha conseguido transmitir en cuestión de segundos su habilidad para los solos a través de un amplio repertorio musical. La virtuosa técnica de Marcin ha cosechado el apoyo de artistas de todos los géneros y generaciones, desde héroes de la guitarra como Tom Morello y Paul Stanley hasta iconos del pop como Madonna y Jungkook de BTS, e incluso pesos pesados del hip-hop como Timbaland y Ty Dolla $ign. Marcin lanzó una guitarra personalizada con Ibanez Guitars en 2022, uniéndose a sus contemporáneos Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Tim Henson e Ichika Nito como embajadores de la marca japonesa. Sus electrizantes actuaciones se extienden mucho más allá de la pantalla, con su primera gira mundial como cabeza de cartel, que agotó las entradas en Asia y Norteamérica en semanas, incluyendo el Gramercy Theatre de Nueva York y el Troubadour de Los Ángeles. Marcin volvió a Nueva York el  19 de julio, y actuó en Times Square en un concierto gratuito dentro de la serie de eventos de verano TSQ Live.

Best Material for Your Outdoor Gazebo - Types of Gazebo

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about choosing the best material for your outdoor gazebo. We’ll compare popular options like wood and vinyl, explore the pros and cons of different gazebo roof materials, and provide maintenance tips to help you make the most informed decision.

Types of Gazebos

Portable Gazebos

Portable gazebos are designed for ease of assembly and transport. These typically withstand wind speeds of 20-40 mph (Beaufort scale 4 to 5). They are best used in mild weather conditions and should be secured with anchors and weights.

Hardtop Gazebos

Hardtop gazebos, made with more robust materials like metal or polycarbonate, offer better wind resistance. They can withstand wind speeds of 50-80 mph (Beaufort scale 6 to 9). These are suitable for areas with moderate to high wind exposure.

Heavy-Duty Gazebos

Heavy-duty gazebos are designed for long-term use and can withstand wind speeds up to 100 mph (Beaufort scale 10). These structures often use industrial-grade materials and are ideal for commercial events or areas with frequent strong winds.

Understanding the Importance of Choosing the Right Gazebo Material

The material of your gazebo plays a significant role in determining its longevity, appearance, and maintenance needs. Your choice should align with your aesthetic preferences, climate conditions, and budget. Whether you want a classic wooden gazebo that blends seamlessly with nature or a low-maintenance vinyl gazebo option, understanding the characteristics of each material is key.

Wood Gazebos: Timeless Beauty and Natural Appeal

https://gazebohouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Untitled-design-2024-08-23T081859.474.webp

Pros:

Aesthetic Appeal: Wood gazebos are celebrated for their natural beauty. They blend harmoniously with outdoor surroundings and can be customized with various stains or paints to match your style.

Customizability: Wood is easy to work with, allowing for intricate designs and custom features that can make your gazebo truly unique.

Cons:

Maintenance: Wood requires regular upkeep to prevent warping, rotting, or insect damage. This includes sealing, staining, and occasionally replacing damaged parts.

Weather Susceptibility: Without proper maintenance, wood can deteriorate quickly due to exposure to the elements.

Cost: Medium to High – Wood gazebos tend to be more expensive initially and over time due to maintenance costs.

Vinyl Gazebos: Low Maintenance and Modern Design

Pros:

Durability: Vinyl gazebos is resistant to rot, insects, and weather-related damage, making it a long-lasting option for outdoor structures.

Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, vinyl does not require regular painting or staining. It can be easily cleaned with soap and water.

Consistent Appearance: Vinyl maintains its color and appearance over time, with minimal fading or wear.

Cons:

Limited Customization: Vinyl gazebos offer fewer customization options compared to wood. They come in pre-designed styles and colors.

Aesthetic: While vinyl can mimic the look of wood, it may not have the same natural feel, which could be a drawback for those seeking a rustic appearance.

Cost: Medium – While the upfront cost of a vinyl gazebo can be higher, the lack of maintenance costs makes it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Wood vs. Vinyl Gazebos: Which Is Better?

Choosing between a wood and vinyl gazebo depends on your priorities. If you value aesthetics and don’t mind the upkeep, a wood gazebo offers timeless beauty. However, if you’re looking for a low-maintenance, durable option, a vinyl gazebo might be the better choice. Both materials have their own advantages, and the decision should be based on your specific needs and the climate in your area.

Cost-Effective Gazebo Materials: What to Consider

When selecting the material for your gazebo, cost is a significant factor. While wood gazebos may have a higher initial cost and ongoing maintenance expenses, their natural beauty can be worth the investment. Vinyl gazebos, on the other hand, offer a lower maintenance solution with a potentially lower lifetime cost.

Maintenance Tips for Wood and Vinyl Gazebos

Wood Gazebo Maintenance:

Regular Cleaning: Clean your wood gazebo regularly to remove dirt, debris, and mildew. Use a mild detergent and water solution.

Sealing and Staining: Apply a wood sealant or stain every 1-2 years to protect the wood from moisture and UV rays.

Inspect for Damage: Periodically inspect the gazebo for signs of rot, insect damage, or warping. Address issues promptly to prevent further deterioration.

Vinyl Gazebo Maintenance:

Cleaning: Simply wash your vinyl gazebo with soap and water as needed. This will remove dirt and keep it looking new.

Inspect Joints: Occasionally check the joints and connections to ensure everything is secure.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Use non-abrasive cleaners to avoid scratching or damaging the vinyl surface.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Gazebo Materials

Before making your final decision, consider the following factors:

Climate: If you live in an area with extreme weather conditions, you’ll want a material that can withstand those elements.

Aesthetic Preference: Choose a material that complements your outdoor space and personal style.

Budget: Factor in both initial costs and long-term maintenance expenses.

Durability: Consider how long you want your gazebo to last and how much effort you’re willing to put into maintaining it.

Types of Gazebo Roof Materials: Pros and Cons

Your choice of roof material can significantly impact the overall look and functionality of your gazebo. Here are some common options:

Asphalt Shingles:

Pros: Affordable, available in various colors, and easy to install. They provide good protection against the elements.

Cons: May not last as long as other materials and can be susceptible to wind damage.

Metal Roofing (Aluminum, Steel):

Pros: Extremely durable, low maintenance, and resistant to weather damage. Metal roofs can last for decades.

Cons: More expensive than other materials and may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Wood Shingles:

Pros: Provides a natural, rustic look that complements wood gazebos. Offers good insulation.

Cons: Requires regular maintenance and can be prone to rot or insect damage.

Polycarbonate Panels:

Pros: Lightweight, durable, and allows light to filter through, creating a bright, airy space.

Cons: Can be more expensive and may yellow over time if exposed to UV rays.

Thatch Roofing:

Pros: Provides a tropical, resort-like feel. It’s environmentally friendly and offers good insulation.

Cons: Requires more maintenance and may need to be replaced more frequently.

Final Thoughts

Selecting the best material for your outdoor gazebo involves weighing the pros and cons of each option against your needs, budget, and aesthetic preferences. Whether you choose the natural beauty of wood or the low-maintenance appeal of vinyl, both materials offer unique benefits. By considering the climate, your long-term plans, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to commit to, you can choose the perfect gazebo material that will enhance your outdoor space for years to come.

CHANEL - GABRIELLE CHANEL L'EAU - Eau de Parfum - Novità 2024 -

Oh fresh radious sparkling flowers! A new joyful blend of these four emblematic Chanel flowers: jasmine, tuberose, ylangylang, orange blossom in perfect harmony with red fruits vibe. Once again, it’s a call to be you, elatedly free.

.

Una nuova appassionante interpretazione olfattiva dello spirito autenticamente libero e ribelle di Gabrielle Chanel, nell’ultima creazione Maison curata da Olivier Polge: Gabrielle Chanel L’Eau.

Sono sempre loro, gli emblematici fiori bianchi cari a Mademoiselle, a splendere in un’inedita armonia aromatica, la loro freschezza frizzante e luminosa è enfatizzata da un amabile tocco fruttato.

Quattro fiori in questo impeccabile bouquet odoroso: la raggiante vivacità del gelsomino, la dolcezza penetrante dell’ylangylang, la raffinata eleganza agrumata del fiore d’arancio e l’irresistibile sensualità della tuberosa espressa attraverso tonalità più limpidamente verdi.

Assolutamente piacevole l’energia che emerge nel finale, con quel tocco di frutti rossi che frizza e conquista per disinvoltura e spontaneità. Sembra dire, sii te stessa, euforicamente libera.

Creata da Olivier Polge.
