viva la rita!

love this woman. though not as much as f does. still, when i clocked her boarding my plane, i took the only opportunity i will ever have (she is 120 years old, after all) to pay my respects and receive an elegant, paper-thin kiss in exchange. oh, and an oh-so-fragile `l'italia mi vuole veramente bene!'
