So I walked into a skateboard shop during my lunch break the other day and came out looking like one myself. I got me this super hot RED SOX baseball cap LET’S GO RED SOX!!! and a pair of iridescent sunglasses which I’ll probably use and reuse throughout the summer.

I’m a week away from taking a short vaca down in Sicily with my sister and bro-in-law. Can’t wait! I’ll be posting pics so you can be gelz!!

me, myself, and the Web

You remember I told you about the full interview with me I was so anxiously waiting to see published? It’s now out and available on newstands!

The postman surprised me this morning when he dropped off some copies of DIGITALIC Magazine , which I must say has a really, really cool 3D cover!

I put together this GIF for you to get the idea, it’s been printed using lenticular technology, are you kidding me? total awesomeness.

The interview is in Italian…I know, boohoo…but I hope you non-Italian speakers can make an effort to Google translate try and get the gist of it. It was a rather lighthearted interview which allowed me to be myself. Superstar journalist and Digitalic founder, Francesco Marino interviewed me as we talked about anything and everything technology and Web-related. From my very first pair of shoes bought online back in 1999 (a pair black and yellow suede Puma Sparco) and the ICQ Messenger with it’s infamous *Oho* sound, to my experience working at new media agency 77Agency, not to mention my attempt to become a professional soccer player in my early teen years and launching my very own magazine in Venezuela which gave me the opportunity to interview personalities of the caliber of Bret Easton Ellis.

You wonder what all this has to do with technology. Well, it does. It paved the way for me to become the internet junkie that I am today. Everything I do nowadays is Internet-related. My iPhone has become my favorite go-to social network, it’s all I need. And I’m pretty sure I speak for a lot of you when I say this.

If you’re curious, and I hope you are (wink), here’s a link to the full magazine, viewable via Issuu.

You know what to do….share, click, send, comment…share….!

The above is a sneak preview of my interview for DIGITALIC- a prominent Italian magazine which covers the full spectrum of technology, web and innovation news worldwide.

I was psyched to see myself on the homepage!

They asked about how I went from digital marketing into fashion.

Two words: human.contact.

Also, the classic- when you were little, what did you dream of becoming as an adult? (but I’m still littleeeee!!) Yeah, not a classic answer to that one. I said I wanted to be an astronaut. Then I guess I came in touch with my realistic self and decided that I wanted to become a professional soccer player instead. Yeah, one word- meniscus.

This was definitely a fun interview! In just a few answers I was able to express the degree of my online junkiness and how I would barely be able to survive without Internet in my life.

Unfortunately for my English-speaking readers, the interview is all in Italian. boo-hoo. But if this is not an issue, you can click here to read about some of the other questions I was asked.

As for my Italian readers, make sure you pick a copy at your nearest edicola, the print issue will be out in a few days, and I won’t give it away, but the cover is going to be very cool.

As you can see, I’ve used some of the images from my previous photoshoot in Kuwait and also from the one before in Lebanon.

Huge THANK YOU to star journalist and Digitalic founderFrancesco Marino for this incredible feature! I wish you and your team all the best in this great venture with DIGITALIC!

As for you, do what you’ve gotta do, share, link, read, comment, share again….  Needless to say, I’ll be posting images of the full interview once I get my hands on a print copy.

ps- I think I found a translated version of the article, Google translated version that is, which seems to be convinced of the fact that I’m a he and not a she. But you can still get the idea. click here.
