One might think you simple if they could see inside your brain. If they could feel the sheer awe that sweeps over you, consuming you with each little detail, stirring your stomach into maelstrom of emotion. Your first time abroad is as much a fantasy as a privilege. Too wonderful to be real. 

But it is. It’s all so real. It still hasn’t sunk in. Three days amid the ancient streets of a far-off land is not nearly long enough to convince you. 

You look up at the vaulted ceilings as you stop short. You mouth hangs open and you fix it only as you notice someone watching you. You give a sheepish smile and put your chin down. You try to seem casual as you near the painting behind the velvet rope.  

It will never feel normal to be in a place like this. Not for you. Your eyes stray from the art to the other patrons amid the low murmur. There’s a layer of deference in the air, a recognition of the layers of centuries old pigment and millenia tinged stone. 

You feel underdressed against the simple but sophisticated black attire of the art snobs. They belong  in their thick-framed glasses and statement jewelry. The men in their collars and ties, their pressed jackets, and leather loafers are almost apathetic to the sanctity all around them. 

As you put your attention back to the Italian artist’s brush strokes, a shadow approaches from your left. You shift to allow them a fair view of the painting. They come shoulder to shoulder with you, their sleeve grazing your corduroy jacket. 

“Beautiful,” he says. You resist the urge to look over at him. 

“Very,” you agree as you consider the difference between the azure and cyan shades. You imagine them being mixed on a board with yolk under a dusty Tuscan sun. 

He’s quiet as he stands in the lull. He clicks his tongue, “I didn’t mean the art.” 

It takes a moment to understand. When you catch his meaning, you turn to reply, a babble that fizzles into nothing. He’s gone. 

You flinch and look around. There’s no hint of the stranger, not that you could pick him out. You frown and blow out between your lips, once more facing the painting. Are you dreaming again? 

🖼

You sit on patio, parallel to the narrow walkway of the stony streets. You sip espresso from a small cup, hints of cinnamon and almond woven into the bitter taste. The warmth of the beverage adds to the beads of sweat drawn out by the afternoon sun. 

You set the cup down and pull your book closer. You’ve only flipped through a few pages so far. You just don’t have the mind for imagining when all around you is like a fairytale. You let it close and tap your fingers on the curling cover. 

The iron chair across from you scrapes on the ground and you sputter as a stranger promptly claims it. The man sits with his shoulders wide, legs open, and hands firmly on his thighs. He grins as you look at him with confusion. 

“Hello?” You utter. 

He smirks and scoffs in amusement, “hi.” 

You blink and wait for him to say more. Does he speak English? You look around then back to him.  

“I’m sorry, I don’t speak--” 

“You traveling alone?” He wonders. 

You snap your mouth shut and sit back. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Why is he asking? 

“Waiting for a friend,” you lie. 

His eyes flick up and down. You adjust the sheer scarf around your shoulders and hook one leg over the other. You move your wrist and peek down at your watch. 

“Ah, been waiting a while,” he muses. 

You don’t know how to answer. You pull your purse into your lap and stiffen, “so I have. I should call them.” 

“They didn’t come to the museum either.” 

You keep from standing up and flutter your lashes, “you’re following me.” 

“Checking in,” he stands and waves away a server as they approach, “making sure someone worse isn’t watching.” 

“Wha--” 

He’s already walking away. You shiver and stare after him, heart racing. Have been so oblivious that you didn’t even notice him? Hard to miss a man like that with his piercing blue eyes and sculpted features. Worse to think that you would be easier to miss.

Elizabeth, 22

“I’m wearing a vintage Versace vest from TRR, Italian silk tie from a flea market in Italy, button down shirt, vintage loafers from Beacon's Closet, and RetroSuperfuture sunglasses. I have always been inspired by men’s workwear so I’m often in a button down look with my own funky twist.”

Not many people know this but there was originally a plot in the White Lotus season 2 where Albie gets into trouble with some inexperienced local criminals. The young Italian men were too green to be cruel, so Albie gets tickled for his bank details, another humiliation for the rich guy who already feels babied and patronised.

In the end the plot was deemed too zany and was cut entirely, but poor Adam DiMarco still had to do multiple takes of the scene; the director decided that he should actually be getting tickled for the realism, and *phew* were the reactions realistic. Adam knew he was kinda ticklish, but when his shirt was unbuttoned and his wrists chained to the ceiling, and when his feet were clamped in stocks and his loafers were removed, and the feathers and brushes came out, he realised the true extent of his sensitivity.

An hour and a half into shooting the scene and the poor actor was almost screaming his real bank details just to get the hot young Italians to have mercy on him. They had to keep cutting and retaking because he kept going off script, begging when he was meant to just laugh, swearing profusely where he was meant to speak Italian, peaking the mics with his shrieks.

Allegedly, somewhere in the HBO archives, there’s almost 3 hours of footage of the poor guy getting tickled half to death.

When he saw that the whole plot line had been cut Adam had mixed feelings. Every damn second he’d spent in those torturous fucking stocks getting shown how ticklish he was by three grinning models had been for nothing. Every feather waft between his toes, every brush scrub up his arches, every spidering session in his vulnerable pits. But then again…maybe he was glad. Having it widely known he was that ticklish - those kinda reactions couldn’t be faked - could put him in some sticky situations. It gave people a lot of leverage over you, as he’d learned during the shoot. Real gangs might as well take notes.

He’d keep his semi-disappointment to himself. The less people that knew his weakness, the better.

Miami Vice

The clothes worn on Miami Vice had a significant influence on men's fashion and popularized Italian men's fashion in the United States. In every episode, Crockett and Tubbs wore 5 to 8 outfits appearing in shades of pink, blue, green, peach and fuchsia. Designers such as Vittorio Ricci, Gianni Versace, and Hugo Boss were consulted in keeping the male leads looking trendy. Don Johnson's typical attire of Italian sport coat, T-shirt, white linen pants, sockless loafers and Ray Ban of Model L2052 or Ray-Ban Wayfarers. In the first season he wore an 18k Rolex Day-Date "President" model, than Ebel won the contract for the remaining seasons.

open to: f 28+ - multi replies and non-mutuals welcome muse: antonio, 31 italian mafia (currently in NY) plot: antonio now knows she's a fbi agent, undercover to infiltrate and expose him, and there is a bullet with her name on... yet, it would be such a waste of something so pretty. tw: unhealthy/toxic relationship, forcefulness 👀, discussions around taking that further can be had. (just pls note my rule on my scary muses and treating them as such) guns, drugs oh and also some misogyny and i apologise!

With a groan, Antonio tilts his head to the side, absentmindedly rubbing fingers across the stubble on his jaw as thick brows knot pensively, as if willing the tension from his shoulders as he sits, long legs spread and Italian loafer clad feet lightly bouncing.

The question of what to do was heavy in the air. He can almost hear it sparking, unsaid, between the glances of his men where they stand around him, waiting for their orders. How much do the feds know? Well, they knew enough to send in their spies, that was evident. They did not know enough to keep their own house in order, however, as the information and identity of one of these informants had come via their very own. There was not a lot that money could not buy and Antonio appreciates the high price of a law man's integrity.

"Fine, send her in-" he huffs, killing women was not something he enjoyed. He did not know anything about her, she was low level, but still - even for someone like him this left a bad taste. Pulling a cigarette from the box on his thigh he dashes it across the table before him, and clicks his fingers for a light. The flame dancing beside him before the paper had even met his lips.

"Why do the federales send women to do their dirty work, hm?" He huffs, head shaking as he absentmindedly rolls the cigarette between his fingers and settles his dark gaze on the door that would soon bring the first rat he'd found in his nest.
