Alizée Freudenthal has entered the building

Ladies and gentlemen, here is a girl who has managed to turn a Fabrica bedroom into a real, delicious, cosy bedroom (if any of you ex-fabricanti out there think you had done it before, come back and check what I am talking about). The only French in the building, Alizée Freudenthal - aka as Lili - is a graphic designer desperate for a cup of coffee. Can anyone get her a yellow key, please?!

How did you come to learn about Fabrica?
i didnt learn about it, i was just walking around treviso, looking for a good place to have a coffee,
after 10 km, i saw the light, they had coffee... they proposed me to stay... i think they still don't know that i'm not graphic designer....

What have you been doing before now?
i spent 4 beautiful years of studies, love and fun in brussel, my adopted city...

What do you expect to get out of this experience?
a coffee... i'm still waiting...

What will you miss from home?
from paris i miss the good bread, my dentist's massage chair, my family and my friends of course...
from brussel i miss the beer's price, the belgian way to speak..., the welcoming people, my friends, my boyfriend and his family.

Anything else you'd like to share with us?
a coffee?

Anna Grassi is in the building!

She is gorgeous, she is fierce, she is impassioned and wildy enthusiastic. Plus, I've never seen anyone mingle amongst teenagers as well as she does. I'm sorry for the internal joke, but just two months after entering the building (err... yes, sorry for the timing) and joining the Colors team as an assistant photo editor, the milanese Anna Grassi has already become everyone's favorite type of girl.

How did you come to learn about Fabrica?
It must have when Colors 47, the issue on Madness, fell into my hands.

What have you been doing before now?
aaa. beautiful things. I got my self stuck in the british country side looking for Mr Darcy at every "against the hunting ban" party. It took me 4 years to realize that my neighbour didn't look anything like Jane Austen and that those chavs thrashing beer cans in my courtyard were keeping my Mr. Darcy and his stallion away. I got my photography degree and flew to France, where between a glass of wine and a piece of cheese, i remembered how tasty the world can be.

What do you expect to get out of this experience?
I guess learn to do my job at best.

What will you miss from home?
The question is rather what will i miss when i go home.

Anything else you'd like to share with us?
first mistake old bean!

Ah, by the way, what is this teenager thing about?
do i need to explain that my teenaghood was in the shadow of insicurity, or that my ormons go wild on teens or simply that i wear sneakers, bite my nails, and get red when a boy looks at me?

CIAO FILIPPO

Filippo era uno scrittore, i libri erano molto importanti nella sua vita. La sua sensibilità, la sua cultura, la sua indifesa fragilità erano strettamente legati alla sua arte. Lo salutiamo con una sua poesia inedita:

the line was crossed long before you realized it

Playing with toys is no big deal. We encourage kids to do it. But when a priest does it to recreate scenes from the bible, you get sued. Father Markus Bomhard, from the Protestant Community of Eschborn, has recreated scenes from the bible in what he calls the Klicky Bibel, and is being sued by Playmobil. A playmobil representative told the Daily Telegraph: "We've got no problem with using the figures as they are in their original costumes. What we are on about is redesigning them and changing their appearance."
