Unsurvivable ride - Fernando Alonso x reader

Summary: Old man loves his car, and you, once again, written on a train, author loves old men and old men know

Fernando Alonso wasn't the type of person who loved to boast. Sure, when he was young, he was cocky. Impressing female reporters with his card tricks or the fact that he could crack a walnut with his neck. A line that didn't make it to air was him saying, "So you don't need to worry about sitting on my face, I'm strong, I can take it, see?" right after. And even with "Fernando is faster than you," even with the "villain" comments in drive to survive, he wasn't prideful. He was just honest. You wouldn't see him flaunting his wealth or doing noveau rich stuff. Yacht aside, luxury cars aside. Yes, he had those things but didn't ever mention them or use them as props, the way some of the other drivers did. Fernando Alonso was the king of quiet luxury, old money. But, with every job came its little quirks. And in Nando's was the new car. 

Don't get him wrong he loved the Valkyrie. It was truly a beautiful car. Fast, too. Perfect for him. But having to prep your shared Monaco living room for it was not fun. Fernando loved having pictures of you two around, the framed memories were a must-have. Whether it was in the tax paradise where most F1 drivers lived, in Spain, to even his garage. Everyone was seeing that Fernando was with you. It was almost funny to see new people guess the nature of your relationship. With you being closer in age to your 20s than your thirties, people assumed you were his relative, a cousin, or perhaps a sister. Some even thought you were his daughter. Then he pulled out the vacation pictures of himself, taking down your swimsuit with his teeth. That cleared up the fact that you were his girlfriend. All the pictures were gone for the day. Any magazines or books that didn't seem like they fit him. Your clothes that hung on the hooks, everything. Truth be told, now the living room looked white and sterile and, thus, perfect for a video. Fernando had to film, and it was fun. Driving around the streets of Monaco in this custom beast didn't suit him still. But he had to do it again and again. That was in his contract. 

Despite him having to take it around all the time, you didn't get a chance to ride in it for a long time. Truth is, you avoided it. The two seater was way too fancy for your taste. You couldn't shake the sinking feeling that you'd scratch it just by opening the door or something. So you didn't even come near it. Took public transport or walked. Used the excuse of "I know it's Monaco, and people don't film you as much, but in this, they definitely will.". And that was literally the point. The Aston Martin marketing person called it a mere exposure theory. Show something to people enough, and they will remember it. Then something about the car creating organic word of mouth and this driving sales. Nando thought it was a little ridiculous that all he drove week in and week out was an Aston Martin. Especially after Brazil. 

But duty called. And the word of Lawrence Stroll and co was law. So Nando took the Valkyrie out, again and again. Finally, he managed to get you in it. Seeing you in the Valkyrie did something to him. Maybe it was the triple header. Maybe it was you in a mini dress pressed up against him. With the seat belt between your perfect tits, he was a goner. Lord knows how he made it to the restaurant without slipping his fingers inside of you while driving with his left hand. It was a miracle. The fancy restaurant he had picked out had no vallet. Only an exclusive underground parking. Fernando got out of the car with a plan in mind. By the end of the night, your first ride in the Valkyrie was going to be a memorable one. 

Everything went smoothly. Then it was time to go. Fernando put on an Oscar worthy performance of looking for his car keys. A pat down of his jeans, a scrunched up face, a low swear in Spanish. All the while, they sat snugley in his jacket pocket. 

"I must have left them on the dash. The car, it has this app that lets you do certain functions remotely. Can you look after I've rolled down the window, doll." He asks. Sometimes, he loves how serviceable you are. Others would call you ditzy, but he knew that all you ever wanted was to be a good girl for him. So you didn't question why the Valkyrie's windows could be opened remotely. You assumed it had something to do with its confusing butterfly doors. Fernando rolls it down, and you twist your body inside. At his plea to "really look, make sure the keys aren't somewhere on the floor," your entire upper body is pretzled in. Leaving your ass to stick out. And that's when Nando strikes like a viper. The window moves up. Not enough to hurt you, but it is definitely enough to make you stuck. He unlocks and locks the car again to taunt you, to show you that he wants you there. 

"Can I touch you, pretty girl?" He asks, but you can already feel his fingers near your bare legs. He's flipped up your skirt, completely exposing your underwear. As soon as you say yes, he traces the seams of it, enjoying how you get excited over that. 

"Look at you, already getting wet for me. We'll have to be quick here, princess. Is that okay with you?" He asks, and he's happy when you practically beg for that. Truth is, he can't stand to tease you right now. He needs you like a fish needs water. Fernando wasted no time in taking off your panties and putting two fingers inside of you. He curls them and tries to get them to hit that spot inside of you. When he uses his other hand to rub your clit, you're a goner, clenching against him. But he doesn't stop.

"You got yours, doll. It's time for me to get mine." He says. Fernando's belt clangs on the concrete, his pants pooled against his ankles. He takes his fingers out of you, and you can hear a loud suck as you guess he puts them in his mouth. The same fingers wrap around his shaft as he guides himself inside of you. The position is driving you both crazy. You can feel his deeper than usual, and you can't squirm away from him. You're at his mercy, and he has none. He thrusts inside of you, almost bottoming out and then slides almost all the way out. He squeezes your ass and hips. Watches himself wreck your pretty weeping pussy with his cock. Feels you get tighter against him. Sees you cum and then clench against nothing as he pulls out. Wonders whether his cum might somehow damage the paint as he watches it on your thighs. 

"There goes one incentive to keep driving this thing. Now I'll think of this every time I get in it." Fernando says, to see you squirm and tell him to shut up. Yep, he was gonna make you warm up to the Valkyrie, one way or another.

Off Track by Leslie McAdam - November 13th Close Quarters by Regina Kyle - November 15th Apex by Victoria Denault - November 17th

https://geni.us/theFASTERseries FREE with Kindle Unlimited

OFF TRACK BLURB:

We’re battling to be on top—in more ways than one.

Cristian Rivera and I have spent years locked in a contest to be the highest-ranked racing driver in the world. When he forced me off a track seconds from victory, it was the last straw: I confronted him in his hotel room, intending to teach him a lesson with my fists.

Instead, he kissed me, and now everything is tumbling out of control.

I thought I was straight. Now I’m questioning. And I can’t seem to stay away from him.

Hooking up with Cristian is a terrible idea for so many reasons.

Our rivalry fuels sales, and if what we’re doing gets out, we and our teams could lose millions in sponsorship money. We could even lose our jobs.

I’m the Ice Man, always calm and controlled, in line to the Swedish throne. Dating a fiery Spanish driver is the last thing the aristocracy would want me to do.

Most importantly, I can’t fall in love. Open-wheel racing puts our lives at risk every time those engines roar. I can’t afford to get attached to another driver. I couldn’t bear it if someone I love got hurt—or worse.

Despite all that, when Cristian crashes, the whole world sees me race to his side.

Will our feelings for each other be stronger than the forces dragging us apart?

Off Track is a contemporary MM sports romance about race-car drivers. It features Cristian Rivera, Spanish racing royalty, and Jasper Nord, literal Swedish royalty. These guys secretly rendezvous in Swiss ski resorts, Singaporean gardens, and yachts off Monaco. Off Track is the first book in the Faster series of stand-alones, which also features books from Victoria Denault and Regina Kyle.

Mika Junnila and 6 other Finnish nationals connected to Blue Key Investments, LLC record sale.

Newly-unearthed documents indicate a link between Finnish national Mika Junnila, the Chief Executive Officer of F9 Distribution Oy, and the contentious Blue Key Investment, LLC. Public records allude to allegations that Mikko Pakkanen and Hugo Sluimer, both members of Blue Key Investments, played a role in a multimillion-dollar money laundering and tax evasion scheme via the firm and multiple offshore entities. Evidence suggests Junnila's membership within Blue Key Investments, LLC and several other Finnish nationals.

The 7 Finns and Hugo Sluimer allegedly bought Miami Beach’s pearl the Setai PH B for $15 million and sold it for a cool $27 million generating a $12 million gross profit. Allegedly the profits were siphoned off through offshore companies.

According to sources, Sluimer, who was allegedly the offshore lender,  diverted profits from Blue Key Investments, LLC through opaque offshore entities, ensuring tax-free returns for himself and other Finnish investors in contravention of US tax laws. The funds he lent out to Blue Key Investments, LLC belonged to the Finnish investors and himself and not to a 3rd party unrelated lender. Sluimer had previously asserted that he could not hold membership or shareholder status within Blue Key Investments, LLC without jeopardizing the tax scheme as he was supposed to be an unrelated offshore lender. However, existing documents confirm he was also a stakeholder in the US businesses. Hugo Sluimer was allegedly chosen as the offshore lender because the Finns had very close ties to each other and it would be too obvious. Sluimer was new to the group and had never done any business with the Finns making him a good candidate. Sluimer has the most dangerous position of all as he allegedly was responsible for money laundering and tax evasion for all of the Finns and himself. 

Sluimer's Emails confirm a "Clean formula" existed and that he may have been the offshore lender:

Sluimer seems to clearly be alarmed by the email and requests confidentiality multiple times but refuses to disclose the ingredients of the "Clean Formula" which raises suspicion. 

Mr. Junnila was asked to respond to the allegations via email but no reply was received. Simultaneously, Hugo Sluimer outed severe threats and consequences, seemingly in an effort to quell details tied to the alleged financial wrongdoings.  It is not clear if Junnila had any involvement in Sluimer���s threats but the timing is suspicious. The depth of Mr. Junnila's association with the purported financial infractions and threat remain uncertain and warrants further examination.

In total 7 Finnish and 1 Dutch National(s) are connected to Blue Key Investments, llc: 

It is important to note that everyone was given an opportunity to respond to the allegations and explain their involvement but no responses.

Ilpo Raiskila, F9 Distribution OY (Finland)

Kaj Valve, F9 Distribution OY (Finland)

Jukka Tapaninen, AIFORIA (Finland)

Janne Keskinen, BLUE KEY INVESTMENTS, LLC (Finland, FLORIDA)

Mirjami Keskinen, BLUE KEY INVESTMENTS, LLC (Finland, FLORIDA)

Mikko Pakkanen, E-BROS OY (Finland, Monaco) Allegedly Invested 15 million in Blue key investments and is the brain behind the scheme according to Hugo Sluimer.

Mika Junnila, F9 Distributions (Finland)

8 Hugo Sluimer, Swiss Boulevard Investments S.A. PANAMA (Netherlands, Dominican Republic). Alleged offshore lender to and Member of Blue Key Investments,LLC.

Not surprisingly, Hugo Sluimer’s company director is Paul Michel van Lienden of ICS is named in some of the largest fraud, corruption, tax evasion and money laundering cases on the planet. Sluimer confirmed that ICS set up the “Clean Formula” in a recorded conversation.

Mikko Pakkanen also uses ICS to manage his companies such as Restinver Investments limited which also owns Beachouse Maritime Limited which holds a 130 foot Mangusta yacht named Beachouse.

Sluimer now invests in real estate in the Netherlands with Rob Koster and Jerry Saffrie the founders of Covast Developments BV in Maarsen and Covast Vast goed. Allegedly, Koster was aware of the allegations against Sluimer but let him invest anyway.

Special thanks to the Pandora papers, offshore leaks, open corporates and other data providers.

Gulf Craft, a global brand recognised for its innovation in yacht and boat building, continues to make its mark in the field of composite-built superyachts as it unveiled production plans for the company's second largest superyacht – the brand-new Majesty 160 – at the Monaco Yacht Show.

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, Gulf Craft which is the world’s leader in composite hull production and the creator of the world’s largest composite-built production superyacht, the Majesty 175, revealed the first details of its brand-new luxury Superyacht at a packed press event hosted onboard the Majesty 120.

Unveiling the details of the brand-new Majesty 160 superyacht, Gulf Craft’s Chairman Mohammed Hussein AlShaali said: “The Majesty 160 is an evolution of our Majesty 155, and follows the new design precedent of our Majesty line-up which was introduced earlier this year with the Majesty 111 at Dubai International Boat Show. The Majesty 160 will be our second largest vessel and will be a class-apart in its segment, catering to the needs and requirements of customers through its exceptional design, architecture, and state-of-the-art engineering and technological features.”

“Our ongoing expansion plans, extensive global dealer network, and a distinct product portfolio have seen us build a strong foothold in international markets, especially in Europe and the United States, where we have witnessed a demand for larger lightweight yachts which provide competitive fuel economy and easy access to shallow waters. We have listened to our customers and have created the Majesty 160 which reinstates our position as the world’s leader in composite hull production.”

The Majesty 160 which goes into production this year at Gulf Craft’s fully integrated state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the UAE, is designed by the award-winning Cristiano Gatto Design Studio in Italy whilst the naval architecture is penned by the world-renowned Van Oosennen Dutch Naval Architects. Built to the specifications outlined by the Bureau Veritas Commercial Yacht Rules for yachts under 500 gross tonnage (GT), the Majesty 160 has a gross tonnage of 498 meeting all safety requirements of a vessel of 500 GT.

Taking its design cues from the iconic Majesty 175, the brand-new superyacht’s interior and exterior has been carefully designed with immaculate attention to detail to create a seamless balance between the outdoor and indoor spaces.

Redefining the segment through its opulent and contemporary interiors, the Majesty 160’s most notable feature is the phenomenal Master Suite. Ideally located at the end of the foreward main deck corridor, the suite includes a private lounge, retractable balcony, a large ensuite with both bath and shower room, along with a full-beam Master cabin.

The smart layout has an innovative climate control system and accommodates up to 12 guests across its seven lavish staterooms, and can also host a crew of up to nine members with five large crew cabins and private captain’s accommodation.

The Majesty 160’s smart exterior design features an incredibly expansive sun deck with modular and moveable furniture suitable for all types of social occasions along with an infinity pool, perfectly set up for incredible panoramic and elevated views. Stand-out features also include a beach club - a customisable multi-purpose space with natural light that can be used as a lounge or bar area, a gym, or a health club making it an ideal place to relax after a long day of water activities. The swim platform provides guests unprecedented ease of access to the water while the fold-down balconies located on both the portside and starboard side of the platform allow for sunbathing throughout the day.

Combining the hull design and the Superyachts technical prowess with twin MTU 16V 2000 M87, 2000 HP engines, the Majesty 160 is capable of achieving a top speed of 19.5 knots* whilst at a cruising speed of 12 knots she has a range of 3,500 nautical miles* and a further extended range of 4,300 nautical miles* at 10.8 knots.

Featuring wing stations on the main deck that enables smooth maneuvering in and out of tight marinas and ports along with an optional helm station located on the sun deck, the Majesty 160 can effortlessly cruise low-draft areas, drawing just 2.3 metres of water, enabling close beach access due to its ground-breaking engineering and use of lightweight yet sturdy composite material hull.

The Majesty 160 comes with two pairs of zero-speed carbon fin stabilisers and twin 100 kW generators including solar panels at the top of the sun deck roof capable of powering one of the four generators - limiting overall energy consumption.

Visit us at Gulf Craft Stand and register here to get an exclusive walk-through tour of the Majesty 120 (E07) & Majesty 100 (C25) – Port Hercules, Monaco.

3deluxe’s Eden Superyacht

Its first zero-carbon yacht available for sale as an NFT was recently launched on the SuperWorld auction platform. The superyacht was on display virtually in the Port of Monaco, setting sail in the metaverse during this year’s edition of the popular Monaco Yacht Show. Looking like a floating garden of Eden, the yacht concept VY-0yachtc1, as 3deluxe calls it, is envisioned as a 360-ft (110 m) vessel that packs two electric motors (1 MW each) and has a cruising speed of up to 12 knots. 

This digital asset that is worth millions of dollars is an emission-free superyacht that uses hydrogen-powered fuel cells. It also has 470 sq m (5,050 sq ft) of solar panels that are used to power the desalination system, lighting, and air conditioning system on the yacht.

Occhi cadenti, ovvero della “prudicizia”

Per i dettagli dei fatti di cronaca, rimando alle notizie abbastanza note e diffuse, anche perché è argomento succulentemente prudico (mi si conceda questo neologismo, mix di pruderie e pudicizia).

Mi riferisco alle vicende che hanno riguardato (ma non è ancora finita) la protesta delle liceali italiane (in particolare quelle del Socrate di Roma) e le loro colleghe francesi: unite nella battaglia contro chi vuole emendare gli usi ed i costumi sull’abbigliamento. Pare, infatti, che le minigonne e gli shorts favoriscano il proliferare degli sguardi lubrichi dei professori, pertanto va evitato un abbigliamento disvelante, in favore di abiti più contestualizzati.

“Non è colpa nostra se gli cade l’occhio” si legge sul cartello (virale in web) preparato dalle ragazze.

Giusto. Siamo uomini, non animali, e dobbiamo educarci a non far cadere l’occhio su scosciamenti e scollature. Tuttavia, se pure il Vespa nazionale (celebre l’episodio della ‘caduta dell’occhio’ sulla scollatura della scrittrice Avallone) indulge nella lubrica pratica, vuol dire che l’etologia ha (ancora) la meglio sulla cultura.

In altre parole, la cultura attuale, anch’essa, ha i suoi cedimenti.

Ma voglio prenderla alla lontana, se avrete la pazienza di seguirmi. Cominciamo scomodando l’etologia.

Gli animali sono esperti in richiami sessuali. Essi consistono in una vastissima gamma di colori, grandezze, movenze, canti, odori che attirano sessualmente gli esemplari all’interno di specie e razze. Ci sono uccelli che mettono in mostra piumaggi spettacolari e innescano danze stupende. Così anche molti insetti e pesci. I mammiferi, oltre alla grandezza fisica che innesca lotte sanguinarie tra pretendenti, puntano sulle secrezioni ormonali: un leone fiuta nell’aria l’estro della leonessa, per esempio. Gli uomini non sarebbero insensibili ai feromoni (che peraltro non hanno odore).

Anche tra i Sapien(te)s (che è la specie nostra, cioè di tutti gli uomini sul pianeta Terra, unica sopravvissuta tra le sette linee originate dall’homo erectus: Neanderthal, Denisova, Soloensis, Rudolfensis, Ergaster, Floresiensis e Sapiens, appunto), è attiva questa primitiva caratteristica relativamente al richiamo e all’attrazione sessuale, solo che noi non abbiamo piume da dispiegare e pochi di noi sanno danzare mirabilmente. La cultura e il raziocinio hanno messo fine alle lotte per la conquista delle femmine, da trascinare per i capelli, come vuole l’iconografia popolare. Ci siamo sviluppati ed evoluti. 

Uhm. È davvero così?

A che cazzo è servita la Civiltà se siamo ancora animali in preda dell’etologia, se continuiamo a dare per scontato che i maschi dei sapien(te)s non resistano ai decimetri di pelle femminile nuda. (E i quadri di nudo? Che turbamenti arrecano? E gli espliciti dipinti di nudo di Guttuso - oltre i quali c’è solo un’ecografia transvaginale, ma in tal caso cambia il contesto e addio scandalo -  provocano?)

Oggigiorno, i richiami sessuali sono altri, ma tutti passano per l’aspetto esteriore: abbigliamento, acconciature, make up e accessori. Anche la dimostrazione della ricchezza (che sta da sempre per ‘partner più adatto’), prima che dalle auto di grossa cilindrata e/o gli yacht e la servitù e i castelli, passa per l’abbigliamento (accessori compresi), il quale - culturalmente parlando - è un potentissimo messaggio non verbale.

Per sommi capi sapete già cosa aspettarvi da un ipertatuato con sopracciglioni rasati, orecchinato, in sella ad uno scooterone truccato. Sapete già con chi avete a che fare se vi si para davanti un pallido occhialuto un po’ goffo. E cosa ci comunica una minigonna o un paio di shorts? Inoltre, il messaggio cambierà se a mettere una minigonna sarà una donna, una agée o addirittura un uomo.

Insomma, noi comunichiamo attraverso i paramenti: più sono lussuosi/vistosi/osé/stravaganti più destano attenzione e in qualunque caso disvelano di noi. L’abito fa il monaco, dunque.

L’abbigliamento femminile è sempre stato un cruccio umano lungo il percorso della Civiltà. Se appena appena guardiamo all’ieri della Storia, ci dovremmo mettere tutte il burqa. (Ma se lo facessimo - vedi Silvia Romano - le polemiche e le proteste sarebbero parimenti veementi.)

Anche una caviglia diventerebbe innesco di guerre ormonali negli uomini, come durante il vittorianesimo, quando si coprivano le gambe di mobili e tavoli per non istigare parallelismi peccaminosi con le caviglie delle donne. Un po’ tutte le culture e le religioni hanno di queste fisse sugli abiti delle donne. Gli ebrei ultra ortodossi rapano a zero le chiome delle neo-mogli e le costringono a indossare parrucche (vi consiglio, sul tema, la mini serie Unorthodox, su Netflix) oltre a tantissime altre restrizioni. Vogliamo fare la lista delle coercizioni cattoliche?

Il proibizionismo non ha mai risolto niente.

Poiché non è mia intenzione innescare ulteriori polemiche, ho scomodato anche la Sociologia, grazie ad uno dei più innovativi studiosi del comportamento umano, Erving Goffman. In un suo saggio (Il comportamento in pubblico, Einaudi), lo scienziato affermò che non solo non si può non comunicare, ma che si comunica con tutto, non unicamente con le parole: silenzi, pause, gesti, sguardi, fattezze e abiti sono loquaci, spesso più delle stesse parole esplicite.

Prendete una situazione banale (che certamente avrete avuto modo di notare anche nella nostra piccola città) che altrove colpì pure Goffman: chi ritorna dalle vacanze al mare pretende di poter vestire [meteorologia irpina permettendo, NdA] come se fosse sulla rotonda di un lido, con infradito, ciabatte, prendisole, bermuda e canotta. Insomma, si va fuori contesto, il Nostro lo chiama conflitto di definizione della situazione.

Cosa comunica un tizio o una tizia che vestono in cotal guisa mentre attraversa il Corso principale? Nei fatti essi sono alquanto dissonanti e li guardiamo quasi automaticamente con raccapriccio e sospetto, nella misura in cui destabilizzano l’ordinamento comportamentale urbano, il quale richiede - per essere conosciuti, conoscibili, prevedibili e ritenuti inoffensivi - l’adeguamento a canoni di abbigliamento e di gestualità (non invasive) ben precisi, adatti ai luoghi.

Ci sarà un motivo se sugli inviti alle cerimonie inseriscono anche l’obbligo di un abbigliamento particolare. Esistono dress code per gli stadi come per i luoghi di culto, per la Scala e per il Parlamento, per il Quirinale e le sale da ballo, per le palestre e le orchestre. I bohémiens e gli hippies si riconoscevano dall’abbigliamento, i punkabbestia e i paninari pure. Il grunge ha fatto della camicia di flanella a quadri e i pantaloni cargo i suoi vessilli. Sono regole non scritte, ma ben riconosciute e parlano alle comunità.

Non stupitevi, una comunità, sempre secondo Goffman, si regge sulla cosiddetta ‘inattenzione civile’: incrociando gente per strada, le s-guardiamo per qualche secondo e stabiliamo che sono, tutto sommato, occhèi per la nostra sicurezza. È una prassi connaturata con il sapiens, la eseguiamo continuamente. Fateci caso qualche volta, mentre camminate tra la gente. Ma se così è, perché una minigonna farebbe, invece, soffermare lo sguardo? Laddove le minigonne e gli shorts sono oramai l’uniforme delle ragazze.

Sempre Goffman: “Di solito cioè, quando si è in presenza d’altri, c’è l’obbligo di fornire un certo tipo di informazioni e di non produrre impressioni diverse, così come si può prevedere che anche gli altri si presentino in un certo modo. Si tende a trovare un accordo non solo sul significato dei comportamenti visibili, ma anche sui comportamenti che si dovrebbero esibire. L’individuo può dunque smettere di parlare, ma non può smettere di comunicare attraverso l’idioma del corpo; egli deve dire o la cosa giusta o la cosa sbagliata; non può non dire niente. Paradossalmente, il modo in cui può dare il minor numero d’informazioni su si sé - sebbene anche questo indichi qualcosa - è adeguarsi e agire come ci si aspetta debbano agire persone del suo tipo. [...] Uno studente universitario che entra in classe con la barba lunga e in calzoncini corti o una ragazza che entri con i bigodini in testa dimostrano una mancanza di rispetto nei confronti del contesto. [...] Un’improprietà di comportamento nei confronti della situazione può comunicare a quelli che vi assistono, giustificatamente o no, il fatto che colui che agisce è alienato non tanto dal raggruppamento, quanto dalla comunità o dalla istituzione o dagli amici o dalla conversazione. [...] Quando si trova in presenza d’altri, l’individuo è guidato da un sistema particolare di regole definite proprietà situazionali. Queste regole controllano la distribuzione del coinvolgimento dell’individuo nella situazione, espresso mediante un idioma convenzionale di segnali comportamentali.”

In altre parole, le ragazze indosserebbero abiti ‘non convenzionali’ per l’istituzione scolastica poiché terrebbero di più all’appartenenza al gruppo degli adolescenti, parlando - mediante gli abiti - l’idioma situazionale proprio di quel gruppo. Ciò potrebbe significare anche uno scadimento dell’istituzione, che non merita più quel rispetto finora collettivamente dimostrato anche da una certa temperanza dell’abbigliamento (e da un maggiore rispetto della classe docente da parte di genitori, media e politica, diciamocelo).

Ricordiamoci che Aldo Moro manteneva giacca-e-cravatta sulla spiaggia perché il decoro pubblico di un uomo politico era trasversale ai contesti: rispettava la sua missione anche in ambienti in cui ci si poteva rilassare. Esattamente il contrario dello stridore comportamentale di certe panze (e/o chiappe) parlamentari nei vari papeete.

Ora dovremo stabilire se le ragazze che mettono gli shorts e le minigonne abbiano scambiato un luogo per un altro, ovverosia se le ragazze siano in conflitto con la definizione della situazione: a scuola, come ci si dovrebbe vestire per essere ritenuti adeguati, credibili, innocui? Ci si deve normativamente adeguare alla più vasta categoria delle teenagers, cioè, mettendo shorts e toppini striminziti o è preponderante il ruolo di studentesse all’interno di una onorata-quasi-sacra Istituzione, quale è (o era?) la Scuola?

Tempo fa, a scuola ci si metteva il grembiule. Alcuni Istituti (specie all’Estero) impongono tuttora le divise. Non mi piaceva il grembiule nero delle medie, però, col senno di poi, ad essere uguali nell’abbigliamento, ovverosia a quasi parità di comunicazione non verbale, diventava più immediata l’emersione delle personalità brillanti. Poi, al liceo, liberate dal grembiule ci ingarellammo (quasi) tutti a chi vestiva meglio e coi i marchi più quotati, che alla fine la personalità divenne solo una questione di costruzione d’immagine. L’outsider, il maverick - perché c’è sempre e per fortuna un maverick - non aveva fascino. Ora, pretendiamo tutti di essere egregi (fuori dal gregge, cioè) senza essere davvero delle singolarità.

Dunque? Dopo questo pippone, non ce la dai una risposta, Marika?

Una risposta ce la dà Franco Basaglia. In una post fazione al testo di Goffman citato, il riformatore della psichiatria italiana ebbe a scrivere: “Norme, regole, moduli di comportamento o schemi di condotta, delimitazioni di ciò che è lecito, adatto, adeguato, opportuno, corretto o conforme, scandiscono, definiscono e danno significato alla nostra vita quotidiana. Meglio: determinano e creano il significato della nostra vita quotidiana. Ogni atto nasce sotto il segno del ‘si deve’ o ‘non si deve’, in nome di una realtà sociale che bisogna rispettare. Nel rispetto della libertà altrui, c’è la nostra libertà; nell’accettazione della regola generale il benessere del singolo e della collettività; nell’adattamento alla norma comune la garanzia di una convivenza civile. [... Tuttavia], una regola che non risponde a un bisogno non può agire che come strumento di sopraffazione e, quindi di controllo, sul gruppo di persone cui viene imposta, proponendosi come una categorizzazione astratta che non trova giustificazione se non nell’imposizione e nelle sanzioni implicite per chi non vi si adegua.”

Le regole (in questo caso sul decoro dell’abbigliamento che viene chiesto in alcune scuole) servono alla sopravvivenza dell’istituzione, al mantenimento della sua credibilità e della sua autorità, ma, nel caso di specie, trattandosi di mondo femminile, sono potenziate dalla combinazione con l’incapacità culturale di abbattere le pulsioni etologiche e di cambiare l’anacronistica antropologia imperante. Usi e costumi - e loro significati contestualizzanti - cambiano, ma non certe ‘fisse’.

L’unica discriminante che vorrò sempre precisare si trova tra l’eleganza e lo stile e tutto il resto. Poi, ognuno vesta come vuole.
