Because @zahri-melitor’s idea looked like a fun way to procrastinate starting my new52 read, I decided to give it a spin. My randomly generated date was January 22nd, 1990, which yielded the following list of comics:
Tumblr media
And thoughts:
Hellblazer #27 -- I somehow managed to land on a standalone issue of hellblazer that was in between parts of a multi-part story, that is also one of the two issues of Hellblazer written by Neil Gaiman! It's very atmospheric and very Vertigo. John Constantine goes to a party and meets a lesbian who tries to get him to be her sperm donor. Also there's a ghost killing people because it longs for connection.
Superman #41 -- This is the start of a multi-issue superman title crossover arc so there's quite a few moving pieces. Lobo and this other guy want to kill superman. Lobo is also very drunk the whole time, something appears to be up with Clark as he refuses to see Jimmy and also is cold at Lana's Birthday party, and finally Jimmy's looking for the truth behind his dad's death which involves Cadmus. It was interesting seeing all the different moving pieces, but I could do without drunk!Lobo.
The New Titans #64 -- The conclusion of an arc that involves Deathstroke and also some sort of alien animal plague virus. Kory's got some nice moments. Also this is the issue before the one where Tim shows up asking Dick to train him so he's got a cameo appearance at the end :)
The Ring of Nibelung #3 -- This one was interesting. Appearently DC did a whole comic adaptation of Wagner's ring cycle. This issue follows events of Seigfried as the titular character forges his blade, slays the dragon, and wakes Brynhild. It was a pretty comic and neat to read since my only exposure to the ring cycle previously was a concert of some of the music played orchestrally.
Time Masters #2 -- The only one I'd read previously. I read issue 1 of Time Masters for a Helena cameo and it left me with enough momentum to read issue 2 as well. Anyway Rip Hunter and co is like 'we need to use time travel to defeat the illuminati' which was fine, but the most interesting part of this issue to me was when Superman makes a cameo appearance:
Tumblr media
Superman: Dr. Hunter, I appreciate your concern and what you're telling me is an incredible story. If what you say is true, this may be too big a job, even for me. Perhaps it would be more logical to take it to the J.L.I... It's more in their league. Rip Hunter: Superman wait! Rip Hunter (thinking): Wow. He's a little colder than I thought. Rip Hunter (aloud): Great. Thanks a lot. Editor's note: to see why Superman is so aloof, check out Superman this month and next! --Bob
When I first read this, I definitely just assumed Superman didn't believe him, but having actually read the issue of Superman now, I can see that there is something going on.

Tumblr media
March 1982
Ari felt it the moment he woke up that morning. Even before stirring or cracking an eye open he knew the pressure on his left cheek was Simon. After almost two years the pooch still insisted on sleeping on the bed with them, crawling his way up between him and Hannah the moment they fell asleep and ending up on Ari's face sometime during the night. So by now, after many a mistake so to speak, Ari knew all too well what he was feeling wasn't Hannah looking for early morning cuddles but Simon's fat butt. 
Ari groaned and shoved Simon away causing the dog to give a little growl and grunt of his own being as he was on the most comfortable pillow ever. Some things never change Ari thought as he stirred lightly and rubbed his eyes, unable to avoid a lazy smile when he realised what day it was.
 It was the morning of his and Hannah's second anniversary and though the news about the clampdown and heavy military presence on the streets had screwed his plans to take his Firefly into Port Sudan again, like he had done the previous year, he was still going to make sure they celebrated.
He would be lying if he said he wasn't a bit pissed about his plans going awry but at the same time he had to admit the last two years had been the best years of his life and that called for any kind of celebration they could get, be that in Port Sudan or in a fucking dump. Or a dump turned into a flourishing hotel for that matter. It was crazy how they had gotten used to life at the resort two years after that afternoon when he had made the call to turn their cover hiding hole into a real hotel. Their alter egos didn't feel false anymore, and he was as much Guy now as Ari. Mind you, Hannah sometimes called him Guy or Mr. Thomas, often with a fake accent to imitate Colonel Madibo to tease him.
He gave a contented sigh at the thought of his and his Firefly’s relationship which could only be described in one word, amazing. It was as normal as it could be given the circumstances and they had both built something solid out of their feelings for each other once they had admitted to them, that was undeniably true regardless of the true nature of their stay in that slice of paradise along the Red Sea. They argued, that was equally true, and they had disagreements mostly about silly little things which was to be expected in a long-term relationship, but nothing major that they couldn’t figure out at the end of the day. Hannah had moved into his hut a little over two months after her birthday when Ari had jokingly asked her to move in with him. She had laughed but done it anyway as it was the closest they could get to living effectively together, and now here they were, two years of being together nearly 24/7, except for the mandatory week of home leave. It didn’t escape either of their notice that it was more than the time she had been married to Andy and now that he thought about it, it was probably more time than Ari had spent with Sarah in the entire 7 years they were married for that matter. 
Speaking of his family life, Ari was still exchanging regular letters with Maya and on his visits to Tel Aviv he had grown even closer to his daughter than he could ever have hoped to. He was on fairly good terms with Sarah too, although that had gone through a bit of a rocky patch. The first visit home he’d had following the time Sarah had accosted Hannah, they’d had quite a heated argument when he had told his estranged wife that she was out of order to do what she had done. In a blaze of bitter anger, Sarah had accused him of all sorts, including the usual about him loving his job and his new woman more than his daughter, which had culminated in Ari snapping. He’d loudly informed his ex-wife that this was to be his last field mission, and that he was leaving it behind for Maya, not Hannah or anyone else for that matter. And the little petulant brat inside him had enjoyed the complete shock on Sarah's face as well as the mumbled apology she had given him once his words had sunk in.
All in all, everything seemed to be finally falling into place and the fact that Mama Navon had invited him for lunch during that same week’s leave, having obviously been informed by Ethan that he would be around that week, was an added bonus. He had always had a smooth relationship with Maria Navon but they both knew she was not merely his best friend's mother anymore. The fact that she had invited him to come over without Sammy or Hannah being there too spoke for itself. They’d had a heartfelt conversation over the best Sunday roast he had eaten in months, probably even years, where he had come clean about his feelings for Hannah and his intentions towards her. It had been easier than he had anticipated, he had never been a man who liked or found it easy to speak about his feelings, but for whatever reason, when it came to talk about Hannah and what he felt for her, it just flowed out smoothly and Mama Navon had read that in the soft smile and the sparkle in his honest blue eyes when he explained how they had got back together and he assured her he had no intentions of breaking her heart a second time.
No, it wasn’t a “normal” life by any stretch, but it was good. He was doing something to help people and he was doing it with the person he had always loved. They had successful mission after successful mission over the past two years and the team had assembled as perfectly as Ari could have ever envisioned when he had written those five names down before handing the piece of paper to a reluctant Ethan. Hundreds of refugees had been smuggled to Israel and it was set to be another couple of hundred more in a couple of days. That said, given the way things were going with the religious and political landscape in Sudan, he wasn’t sure how much longer they had. A few months, maybe 6 at a push. It wasn’t a particularly comforting thought, as they still had so many people to help, but in the same breath Ari knew he had to be realistic. They couldn’t do this forever, they’d always known that. All they could do was their best, and the best was to simply go as long as they could, saving as many refugees as they could in the time they had.
And when they finally did have to quit, and Ari said goodbye to a life in the field, the fact he was doing that with his Firefly by his side made a future behind a desk in Tel Aviv seem that little less frightening.
Ari was dragged back from his wandering reflections by Simon who had jumped off the bed and was now scratching at the door. He looked at the dog and groaned as he swung his legs out of bed.  "All right, I get it, just don't tear the door down." he whispered to the anxious animal before he walked  to the door and  opened it to let the mutt out for his usual morning pee and wander round the beach, mumbling as Simon trotted past. "Tell you what pal, when we do leave I'll be waving goodbye as you fade into the distance..."
"I heard that Ari, you little shit." Hannah's sleepy voice suddenly rang through the hut's space.
"He’s the little shit Firefly." he stated somewhat childishly, turning to look at his girl as he shut the door.
"Stop being mean to him." she said as she rolled on her back, yawning, her eyes not even open yet.
"He insists on sleeping with his butt on my face. That's what I call mean." Ari protested as he slid back into bed, reaching for his girl, holding her flush against him.
Guided by Ari, Hannah rolled onto her side again, snuggling against his chest, eyes still closed as she smirked.
"That's because your face is so pretty mi Lobo."
"Yeah? Well, in that case why don’t you sleep on it?" he purred, his voice an octave lower than usual.
Hannah cracked an eye open at that and looked up at him "Something tells me if I was on your face I wouldn't be sleeping."
Ari chuckled, dropping his face closer to hers, brushing their noses together as he drawled. "You’re right Firefly. You’d be seeing stars." 
"You have a very high opinion of yourself Mr Thomas." she said, smiling against his beard so that Ari could feel the vibrations of her voice as she tilted her pelvis up to meet his.
"Wanna bet?" he challenged her, his voice almost a groan.
"What’s the cost if I lose?" she asked as she brought her right hand to his face to stroke his cheek.
Ari paused for a moment. So you want to play Firefly , and then smirked as it came to him- the perfect forfeit. "You have to lead the aerobics classes,  not Rachel." he stated as he wriggled his eyebrows playfully at her, knowing she would loathe the idea of having to wear that leotard Ari so loved seeing on her. 
Yeah, having a leotard kink when you spent half of the day surrounded by women in swim gear was kinda odd when he thought about it, but anyway…
Hannah glared at him before blurting out. "Oh, fuck off Ari! No deal."
"So you don't want my face between your legs?" he asked innocently.
 "Fuck you. I hate you." Hannah groaned.
"No you don't..." he purred as he kissed her neck "...you love me..."
And that was it. He knew it the moment Hannah closed her eyes as he gently guided her onto her back and kissed his way down her body.
"Times like this I wonder why..." she sighed out, her hand fisting in his hair which made Ari pause at her belly before peeking up at her.
"Yeah, protest all you want but you love it, you just hate losing. And you’re gonna lose Firefly." 
*******
An hour later, after having breakfast with the team, Hannah was at the front of the group of guests, clad in the infamous leotard leading the class as Jake leaned on counter watching. It wasn't too long until Ari walked over and spotted him. "You, out. Now." he barked, glaring at him.
"What? Why?" Jake protested.
"Because you’re a pervert. Out." Ari ordered him as he gestured to the way out with his right thumb.
"That's so not fair." Jake tried to fight back as he straightened himself. "You never kick me out when Rachel is leading the class."
"That’s because you're never here when Rachel leads the class. Out!" he hissed, trying not to make a scene in front of the tourists. “I won’t tell you again.”
At that point Sammy walked in and came to the desk, frowning. "Where’s Rach? Why is Hannah running the aerobics?"
Ari shrugged and glared at Jake when he snorted on his way out. At that point Rachel came out of the office holding some papers.
"I’m here and apparently Rosa lost a bet." she explained to Sammy who was looking at her puzzled. It took him a second before he groaned.
 "I don't wanna know do I?" he asked as he squinted his eyes at Ari.
"Nope." Ari smirked as he stole a glance at Hannah who was now stretching and bending forward.
"Come on, you two are disgusting." Sammy groaned.
"Ok, that’s it. Everyone out. You too Ari. You never come to my classes, you’re not staying for this one either." Rachel cut them off.
"I’d come to your classes…if you’d let me." Sammy pouted. 
"Oh, come on. You two are disgusting." Ari repeated Sammy's words, mimicking his voice. 
"Ha! You coming Sammy is exactly why she won’t let you." Jake quipped.
"Weren't you gone?" Sammy spluttered, spinning round to face him "Fuck you both." 
Ari couldn't help but laugh at his friend's signature reaction. It had been well over 18 months since Sammy and Rachel had come out as being together but Ari knew he still hated everyone teasing him about it, but he couldn't help it. It was fun and, in a way, it was payback for all the time Sammy had spent holding a grudge against him and Hannah. That said, Rachel was the best influence they all could have wished for. Not only was Sammy far ess grumpy and tense all the time but he was also more willing to enjoy any treat life at the resort had to offer without thinking too much about it. 
"Ok, enough, I said, out...go on." Rachel insisted, shoving Ari on the shoulder.
"Hey, remind me…who's the boss round here?" Ari raised an eyebrow at her.
"It’s me when y’all start acting like pre-schoolers or horny teenagers. And honestly that happens far too often for my liking." Rachel simply stated as she held a stapler and menacingly pointed at each one of them with it. 
And with that the 3 of them made to leave, just as Max appeared from the kitchen with a snack, Simon following him hoping for food.  He looked at the three of them in turn, and then at Rachel, who pointed sending him out too so with a shrug he followed suit. The 3 men passed the front row of the group and Hannah glanced in their direction and Ari grinned at her as he left. Her eyes were positively shooting daggers at him and if looks could kill he’d be dead on the spot. But he would be a corpse with a semi boner having seen her the way she was. So just as he exited the main area, he peeled off his t-shirt and started running directly into the sea without much of a word to the rest who were now staring puzzled.
"I’d swear I can see steam coming from him." Max cuckled and Jake started singing quietly.
"Gimme some hot stuff baby this evening..." as he moved his hips suggestively causing Max to start howling so loud that the sound drowned Sammy's groans.
 "Watch out for the fish, man!" Max howled at Ari just before he flipped them off over his shoulders, which didn't stop Max from teasing him again "They’ll think you’re happy to see them."
"That’s gross." Sammy glared at them, who were both bent with laughter.
"What's more gross…” asked Max. "Us or the fact he's boning your sister?" 
"You had to say it." Sammy groaned again. "I’m done with you two."
"I wouldn’t describe boning Red as gross." Jake, who was now wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes, quipped.
"Fucking fuck you." Sammy snapped at him.
“Ok, ok keep your pants on!” Max chuckled.
"Yeah, come on man, it’s us that aren’t getting any." Jake whined in an attempt to appease Sammy.
"Try fucking each other then." Sammy bit back, still pissed. Max looked at Jake, giving a shudder.
"I’d rather fuck the dog."
At that Jake slapped him on the back of the head "Asshole." 
Sammy snorted and turned to leave, crossing paths with Simon who had spotted daddy Ari in the water and was now trotting towards the sea. "I'd stay away from Max, pooch." Sammy said seriously. Simon just looked at him, before barking and continuing on his way.
As he approached Max, he grinned “No food pal, sorry." but the dog completely ignored him and started running towards Ari who had now come out of the water and approaching them.
"That was fast.”  Jake jabbed at him.
"I just needed to cool off.” Ari shrugged
"Yeah, well, I hope you last longer with Red." Jake smirked at him.
“Don’t hear her complaining." Max told Jake with a grin. “Quite the opposite actually.”
"Ok seriously, shut the fuck up." Ari growled at them as they began to snigger.With a glare he started walking towards his hut, but Ari knew them too well, especially how things were when the two of them teamed up, and he fully understood they wouldn't be willing to let him off the hook that easily so he prepared for one last quip which came from Jake.
"Still wanna hear about that bet she lost." he shouted at Ari's retreating back.
"You wish." Ari yelled back.
"I knew it. You’re my hero, man." Max howled.
Ari didn't look back at Max, he just smirked to himself. Of course Max would get it, he always did. "Yup." he shouted instead, popping the p, as he passed a group of female tourists on the way.
 "Ladies." he greeted them with his signature cocky but friendly smile, which made them giggle and start whispering to each other as they passed him by.
"Seriously, how does he do it?" Jake gasped as they watched the group of women all pause to watch Ari as he walked up the sand.
"Animal magnetism." Max shrugged. "And I don't mean the fact he has Simon running at his heels."
*****
After a refreshing shower, more refreshing than he actually needed as he had changed his usual morning run for other activities that morning, Ari changed into a pair of fresh shorts and a light blue shirt. He was just about to leave hut as Hannah arrived back wearing that damned leotard, causing him to flash his signature wicked smirk at her.
"Don't even think about it. I'm pissed at you, Levinson." she warned him as she passed him by, trying her best not to surrender to that damned smirk of his.
"Oh, I'm thinking IT firefly." Ari laughed as he smacked her butt, causing her to yelp in surprise, and leaving her to shower and change clothes. He went to the main building to sort the arrangements for the call to Ethan later in the day about the last details on the mission and then just spent some time being Guy Thomas. The batch of tourist currently at the resort were leaving the day after next so he chatted with them for a while, ensuring they had enjoyed their stay and would recommend the resort to their family and friends back home. Satisfied real guests were as important as the ones whose number hung from hooks on the board at the reception desk as without them, their cover would be blown.
He was still chatting to the guests when Hannah came into the main dining area, her eyes roaming the room for him and she rolled her eyes when she spotted him being charming Guy, smiling softly as the ladies fawned all around him reminding her of herself when she was a teenager with a crush on her older brother's best friend.
Cliché much.
But those memories weren't the only ones that flashed across her mind. She had been feeling quite homesick lately but as she stood there watching Ari, she began to feel especially down. So, she took a dep breath and decided that baking her Mama’s banana and date loaf, which had been at the back of her mind ever since she had spotted some days before that Chef Aziz had a basket of fresh dates, was just the ticket to cheer herself up.
Of course, Ari had also spotted Hannah the moment she had entered the room, how could he not?  But he hadn't noticed her leave and, after giving the ladies some recommendations as to what to buy in the souk at Port Sudan the following day, he turned around looking for her but she was nowhere to be seen. He wandered off to go find her bumping into Rachel in the reception area who told him she had seen Hannah last heading to the kitchen, which was exactly where Ari found her.
"You ok?" he asked softly from the kitchen's threshold.
Hannah raised her head and turned to look at him for an instant before her eyes were on the dough she was working on again. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"You just disappeared." he drawled, his arms crossed over his chest as he leaned on the doorframe.
Hannah shrugged. "I have more important things to say than watch you flirt, Mr Thomas."
"I wasn’t flirting..." Ari protested immediately and she once more looked at him. "Ok, maybe I was. A little."
"Satisfied guests, uh?" she teased.
"Well, need to keep the tourists happy, Han..." he conceded playfully.
"So I assume they’re happy enough and that’s why you’re here instead of with them now?" 
She was smiling though he couldn't see it. All he could see was the way her ass cheeks were contracting every time she exerted force on the dough.
"That and the fact I wondered where you'd gotten to." he managed to say, after swallowing, his eyes moving back up her body.
"You missed me Mr Thomas? Who’d have thought?" she teased once more.
Ari rolled his eyes and approached her from behind.  "Stop being a brat Firefly."
"I’m not being a brat, Ari and stop rolling your eyes at me." she scoffed, her tone hardened this time. "I can't see you but I know you just did."
Ari stopped behind her and cocked his head to one side and frowned. Despite her casual tone she wasn’t being as playful as normal "Han...what's wrong? You're not really pissed at me for talking to those girls, are you? Because I'm not interested..."
She sighed. "I know, Ari. It’s just... not today."
Now he was really puzzled. "Hey, come on Firefly, talk to me...what is it?" He asked, as his hands landed cautiously on her hips.
"Nothing really, it’s just I’m a bit homesick today." She said, not wanting to react to Ari's touch.
Ari sighed noticing the stiffness of her body and the sadness in her voice "Oh, baby come here." he said, gripping her hips and turning her around to hug her. And as he wrapped his arms around her back, his chin rubbing against the top of her head, he noticed the ingredients on the side for the first time and he let out a groan "You making... no...  you're not?"
Hannah grinned and looked up at him. "I am."
"That's my favourite thing your mama makes" he groaned.
"I know baby." she gazed at his eyes, in the hope that he realised why he was baking that particular treat.
"So...are you making it because you're homesick or because it's our 2 year anniversary?" he asked, winking an eye at her.
She beamed at him, her grin now reaching her eyes. "You remembered?"
"Of course I did!" he said, holding her tighter, before pausing. "Wait...did you think I'd forgotten?"
Hannah felt her cheeks went red with embarrassment . "Yeah, I did."
"Han..." Ari started as he shook his head, chuckling. "2 years ago we got our second chance. Like I'd ever forget that."
She bit her lip. "I’m sorry it’s just you never mentioned us going to Port Sudan like last year and I assumed..."
"Baby, we can't. I wanted to take you, I really did  but, with the talk of stuff going on in the cities, the whole clamp down and Sharia law that’s coming in, well, we're not married so..." he shook  his head again sadly. "It's not possible or even worth the risk. You understand that?"
“No, I know. You’re right." he sighed. "God, I feel stupid now."
He chuckled as he swayed her in his arms. "That doesn't mean I haven't got anything planned."
She grinned at him, playing with the upper buttons of his shirt. "Do you have something planned?"
"Well I could tell you...but then I'd have to kill you." he drawled.
"Rude Levinson."  she scoffed, pushing his chest as she turned around back to her baking station. "For that you’re not getting a single ounce of this loaf I’m making."
Ari laughed heartily, wrapping his arms round her from behind again and kissing her neck. "Don't be like that firefly."
"Like what? You don’t wanna tell me what you’re planning but I’m more than happy to tell you what I am planning. Which is not letting you eat any of this fucking delicious banana and date loaf."
He chuckled again. "You really want me to spoil the surprise honey?” Hannah smiled and this time he could see her doing it from the corner of his eye. "No. I’m just teasing you."
"What else is new?" he said as he pushed his groin against her from behind, his lips soft on her neck.
"Stop teasing me Lobo or you won’t get any and now I’m not talking about the loaf." she threatened, raising the rolling pin at him.
"Ok, ok." he chuckled and he kissed her cheek again. "You win." And at that she turned to look at him.
"What else is new?" she asked as she winked at him.
"Shall I remind you of the leotard you were sporting just this morning?" he raised an eyebrow at her and Hannah gasped, narrowing her eyes.
"Vete a la mierda." she grumbled and Ari snorted.
"Ok, I don’t know what that means but I’m assuming it’s not I love you Ari, you’re the love of my life."
"You assume correctly, Lobo."
"All right" he said, raising his hands up. "I surrender. I’m gonna go..." and he started walking backwards "...talk with some..." now a side smile on his face "...lady tourists. Keep them satisfied you know."
Hannah smirked. "You do that. Maybe I'll go talk to that group of boys that Jake took out diving before. They seemed nice." 
Instead of falling for her trap Ari merely shrugged. "Talk to them as much as you want as long as you remember you’re mine." And with that he cocked an eyebrow, giving her a stern look and turned to leave, smug smirk on his face, his hand running through his hair. 
Bastard, Hannah thought as she resumed her work.
**** Later that day, after having called HQ to fill Ethan in on the last details of the upcoming mission and a bit of an argument about the change in rendez-vous point at such short notice, Ari was sat outside in the sun with Rachel and Sammy. He was trying to relax, he was always on edge the days before a mission and having to call Ethan was always a task he wasn't overly fond of. Not because of the man, Ari had learnt how to deal with him over the years the same way Ethan had learnt how to put up with Ari's attitude which caused him the biggest migraines a boss could ever endure. The thing that stressed Ari the most about those calls was the fact that he had to sneak from the tourists and staff, away from prying ears and hope communication was cooperating. And that day in particular the resort was overflowing with people everywhere he went so the office was out of the question and the huts didn't seen secluded enough to him, so he had had no option but to drive a few miles into the desert and set the radio in the back of the jeep connecting it to the car's aerial. 
Thankfully it had worked and an hour or so later he was back and had settled in the same spot he was in now,  drinking a beer and trying to ease his mind as he had another secret mission to perform in a few hours, one that got him equally anxious but in a different way.  He looked at Sammy and Rachel and saw Sammy's arm resting around her shoulders, gently rubbing her arm. It was good to see them like that for once. Unlike him and Hannah, Rachel and Sammy didn't feel very comfortable with PDA and they kept it to a minimum which had meant it was only after months of being together that Max and Jake had found out there was another couple within the resort management team.
Ari was so lost in his thoughts that he inadvertently gave out a big sigh earning an amused look from Rachel.
"I take it you’re still planning on not joining us for dinner tonight?" she asked.
Sammy frowned. "What? Where you going?"
"I’m taking Hannah for a picnic. It’s a surprise so don’t tell her Sammy." Ari warned his friend, pointing at him with his beer bottle.
Sammy rolled his eyes. "Soppy bastard."
"Leave him alone, he wants to celebrate properly." Rachel defended Ari.
"You’re celebrating something?" Sammy asked again, puzzled. It wasn't anyone's birthday, not that he recalled.
"You could say that." Ari grinned at him.
Sammy frowned, not following his friend, and Rachel chuckled. "It's two years today since he and Hannah got back together."
 At that Sammy opened his eyes wide. "Already?"
Ari nodded. "Time flies, huh?"
"Yeah..." Sammy agreed, nodding absentmindedly. "Feels like only yesterday I punched you in your perfect teeth."
"You’re still calling that a punch?" Ari snorted.
"Don’t make me do it again you smug bastard." 
"Wouldn’t dream of it pal." Ari conceded, raising his hands in mock surrender.
Sammy smiled at him. "I guess congratulations are in order then."
Ari smirked wickedly, making Rachel raise an eyebrow at him, before speaking. "Save it for the proposal..."
And there it was, Rachel thought. He had got Sammy again, he always did, who was now choking on his drink as Ari bursted out laughing. 
"You’re a shit Levinson." Sammy growled, wiping the spilled drink off his chin.
"Funnily enough that's exactly what your sister says too." Ari smirked again, raising his beer in a mock toast before gulping it down and standing up, heading back to his hut.
Hannah was in the shower after having been on a dive later that afternoon with Jake and Max, so Ari quickly changed and when she emerged she smiled at him, taking in his navy shorts and casually smart green button down.
“Hey.” She took the kiss he offered and he pulled back, smiling.
“So, tonight we’re having a night ‘out’ at the resort” he told her and she frowned, her expression puzzled. But he didn’t go into any more detail. “Just be ready in half an hour.”
With that he disappeared off to set up his surprise. With a little help from Aziz, who’d packed the food for him, and Rachel who’d managed to get him everything else he wanted, he quickly laid everything out and headed back to find Hannah was putting the last touches to her hair, pulling it back into a loose braid. She was dressed in a pale blue sun-dress which pulled in at the waist, falling to her knees, thin spaghetti straps resting on her sun-kissed skin.
“You look beautiful.” He smiled as she stood up.
“Thanks.” She said, that adorable flush evident in her cheek and he held out his hand.
“Come on Firefly.”
He led her to their cave but as they approached he tugged her in front of him, his hands gently moving to cover her eyes.
“Ari!” she protested as he chuckled, walking them forward
“Just humour me okay?” he whispered, his lips brushing her cheek. Once she was positioned in the mouth of the cave he moved his hands and Hannah blinked, looking around. On the floor of the cave was a rattan blanket, which held a picnic hamper in the middle, and various candles were lit as they nestled in the many little nooks and crannies of the rock that formed their cave. Hannah felt the tears in her eyes at the thoughtfulness and she turned to look at Ari.
“Ari..” she whispered and he blinked before he realised they were happy tears.
“I just wanted to do something special.” He shrugged, “seeing as we couldn’t go anywhere.”
“It’s perfect.” She assured him, standing on her toes to give him a soft kiss.
They settled down next to each other, Hannah tucking her legs underneath her as Ari poured her a glass of wine and the two of them began unpacking their food. Before long they were tucking in with gusto, laughing and joking as they always did, the light starting to fade outside as the sun dipped beneath the horizon, Simon led at the mouth of the cave, napping. It was quiet, romantic, and they could have been anywhere as they sat and simply enjoyed being with one another as the night passed them by.
“Shit.” Ari sighed as he tipped the last of the wine into Hannah’s glass “We drank it all.”
“You only bought 2 bottles?” Hannah teased and gave her a look as she giggled.
“I’m sorry.” He said sarcastically causing her to laugh.
“Don’t pout Mi Lobo.” She set her glass down and shuffled over to him
“Ya know, my feelings are pretty hurt.” He muttered as she pressed her lips to the corner of his mouth.
“Yeah?” she asked, her lips now making their way down to his jaw line.
“Yup…” he sighed, eyes closing as she brushed over the whiskers on his face, his breath hitching as she reached his neck.
“Feel better now?”
“Not quite…”
“How about now?” Hannah asked, her teeth grazing his ear lobe.
“Gettin’ there.” Ari mumbled, turning his head, his mouth finding hers. The kiss was deep, their tongues sliding effortlessly together as Hannah let out a little whimper, a noise Ari would never, ever tire of hearing.
Pulling away he ran his nose up her throat to her chin, nudging her head back a little and Hannah’s weight fell backwards onto her arms, her palms burying into the cool sand. His lips gently placed a warm, open mouthed kiss onto her neck, causing her to shiver softly as his right hand traced up her side, over the top of. With a fluid movement he slid the strap down, and his head dipped, mouth sucking gently at her delicate collar bone. Hannah gave a soft sigh and Ari moved, his arms circling her waist as he pulled her into his lap, her knees falling either side of his thighs as his hands slid up to cup her face. He looked at her for a moment, her blue eyes shining in the reflection of the moonlight on the ocean outside.
“God, I love you.” He whispered, his eyes closing as her fingers tangled in his beard, her lips ghosting over his.
“I love you too Mi Lobo…”
And that was it, those 2 fucking words that she’d spoken so many damned times over the past two years sparked something primal, animalistic in him and his hands moved her face back to his as he kissed her hard.
Hannah palmed her hands against his chest before her fingers carefully began popping the buttons of his shirt. As her fingers brushed his skin as she worked it open, the sensation of her touch caused goosebumps to bubble over his entire body, and as usual,  her infectious smile brought forth a pulsating desire from deep within him that was impossible to ignore. Once his shirt was undone she reached up and pushed it down over his broad shoulders and Ari freed his arms, tossing it off to the side somewhere as Hannah’s mouth met his once more in a furious kiss. Her tongue was in his mouth, seeking his and he felt her teeth gently nibbling at his bottom lip. At that, Ari gave a growl and he pulled away, dropping his head to the spot on her neck once more, hands moving from her hips to pull her dress over her head. With an easy snap of his fingers, he undid the clasp of her bra and she pulled it off, dropping it besides them. Ari took a moment to look at her chest, his hands sliding up her ribcage, his eyes flicking back to hers so he could watch her response as he began to play with her in a way he knew she loved. Over and over he gently kneaded and palmed her sensitive flesh, thumbs skating her nipples before he softly tweaked them both, teasing them to soft peaks as he dropped his head, his mouth engulfing her right bud. He sucked and teased with his tongue before gently grazing with his teeth all the while feeling her grinding down on him, her hands tangling in his hair.
“Shit…” she groaned, nails biting into his scalp as he pushed upwards, the bulge in the front of his shorts grinding up against her spot through her now soaked panties, mouth and hands still teasing at her breasts. “Ari…”
“What do you want baby girl?” he whispered against her skin as his mouth moved upwards, beard scratching, teeth nipping her neck as she continued making those noises that he could listen to all damned day. Her hands let go of his hair as she fumbled to unbutton his shorts and he moved slightly so that she could pull them down a little over his hips.  Her warm palm wrapped around now aching cock and pulled it free from his underwear and Ari gave a slight hiss through his teeth, slipping his hands under the hem of her dress. His large hands cupped her ass cheeks, fingers digging into the underneath just where the curve of her globes met her thighs and he pulled her tight against him. The grip of her hand around his dick drew a groan from his mouth and he swallowed, his voice raspy as he spoke again. “Tell me baby…” he instructed and then when she answered, her words combined with her hand tightening around his cock almost made him shoot his load there and then
“Fuck me Ari…”
With a growl, Ari moved his hands, pulling her panties aside as she shiftedd herself, her hand guiding him towards her. Lining him up, she lowered herself down, giving a long, drawn out whimper of delight as she felt him fill her.
“Shit, Han…” Ari groaned, his hands on her hips as he bucked upwards, feeling her hot, warmth tighten around him. “God you feel so good baby…”
At his dirty talk Hannah moaned again, her hands moving up to rest on his shoulders and without warning Ari thrust his hips up in a dirty grind, pushing himself into her as deep as he possibly could.
“Fuck!” she cried out, her nails digging into his skin, one hand moving to tangle into his hair at the back and she gave a sharp tug, pulling his head back.
The bite of pain made his cock twitch even more, but the noise he made was swallowed as her lips crashed onto his, and it was all too much. He needed release. Ari began to matching her motions, the wet sound of his balls slapping against her ass echoed off the rough, rocky walls of their hidden little hideout and his lips moved from hers to her jaw, nipping at her skin.
“You've had me hard for you all day, Firefly…” he panted and Hannah gave a soft wail at his words, “Such a fuckin’ tease…”
His movements picked up, becoming faster as he rutted upwards into her again and again, and she began to move herself, her hips rocking forward and back furiously as she ground her clit against his pubic bone, her eyes locked on his as she moved. Ari’s fingers dug into the skin just above the waist band of her panties, nails biting her delicate hips as she worked herself into an almost frantic pace, and Ari knew he wasn’t gonna last much longer.
“Come for me baby…” he said, his mouth back on her neck “Come on, good girl…”
At his words, Hannah was a complete goner, powerless to stop the pleasure that was lancing through her very core. She came, with a surge that shook her entire body, her head falling back as she gasped, mouth open, a broken, trembling cry escaping her as she pumped her hips wantonly against his crotch, riding the wave of her orgasm bucking once... twice... before she collapsed against his chest going completely limp, breathing hard. Ari’s own hips were still pumping upwards as he raced towards his own end, Hannah completely spent on his laps before he felt that coil in his belly and groin snap and with a loud groan, he came, the intensity shocking him slightly as he bit down on her shoulder, his hips stopping and he collapsed backwards, crashing onto the sand behind him, Hannah clutched to his chest.
Time just stopped for them both, Ari’s hands gently caressing her back, his eyes closed as he pressed a kiss to Hannah’s forehead as they both lay, breathing deeply, waiting for the earth to right itself. Ari had no idea if it was 1 minute or 5, but eventually he felt Hannah stir a she snuggled further into his chest.
“God, Ari, that…that was incredible.” She croaked. "Yeah....." was all he could manage in return.

The Sopranos’ Best End Credit Songs
https://ift.tt/eA8V8J
There are so many legendary aspects of The Sopranos that it’s hard to pick just one. Between masterful storytelling, deep character development, and uncanny acting, everything comes together to create a show that has been enjoyed for over two decades now. The most artistic aspect of the package, however, may just be the use of music, specifically the unique songs curated personally by creator David Chase that run during each episode’s end credits. 
Ranging from oldies, foreign ballads, jazz compositions, and pure instrumentals, the variety is stunning and can keep you exploring the track list of the series for days. We’ve decided to narrow all of the end credit songs down to the best 15 in the series, listed in chronological order of airing. Enjoy! 
Season 1 Episode 4: Meadowlands 
“Look on Down from the Bridge” by Mazzy Star
The nice father-son moment between Tony and A.J. at the closing of this episode is accompanied by this beautiful track from Mazzy Star. A.J. sees his dad in a whole new light after Meadow tells him that he’s in the mafia, but a simple smile and wink from Tony reassures the youngest Soprano child that he certainly will still “look on down from the bridge” and see his family as the only priority in his life, no matter what criminal occupation he tries to hide on a daily basis. 
Season 1 Episode 7: Down Neck 
“White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane
This one follows the pattern of the show choosing to play a song earlier in an episode and then again during the final scene and credits. The Jefferson Airplane hit refers to drug use and being intoxicated, therefore changing as a person in the process. The song plays when Tony is taking prozac mid-episode and during the final scene in which Tony and A.J share an ice cream sundae and some whip cream together. No matter how much the therapy and the meds try to alter Tony’s life, he’ll remain the same man: a depressed mobster and a father who softens for his children. 
Season 2 Episode 10: Bust Out 
“Wheel in the Sky” by Journey
If you haven’t noticed by the time you’re done watching the show, The Sopranos loves to point out how trapped all of the characters are in the lifestyles they have either chosen or been forced into. Tony has betrayal surrounding him at every corner at the end of the second season: Richie and Janice plotting his removal, Carmela falling for a painter who is working in the family home, and Pussy’s FBI informancy reaching a climax. Still, the “wheel in the sky keeps on turning”. Tony finishes the episode having some fun with A.J. on the Stugotz, and he doesn’t “know where he’ll be tomorrow” but he’ll enjoy the time he has in the present. 
Season 2 Episode 12: The Knight in White Satin Armor 
“I Saved the World Today” by the Eurythmics
Tony returns home after disposing of Richie Aprile’s body because Janice shot him to death over a domestic dispute. After informing Carmela of the night’s bloody events, she quickly moves on to the list of chores and homemaker responsibilities she is going to lay at Tony’s feet for the next week while she goes on vacation with Ro Aprile. This apt song from the Eurythmics exemplifies everything Tony has to be in the lives of friends and family around him: always there to save the world for them.
Season 3 Episode 4: Employee of the Month 
“Fisherman’s Daughter” by Daniel Lanois
This Dr. Melfi-centric episode is one of the most deservedly acclaimed hours in the drama’s history. When the final scene gives her a chance to let Tony loose on the monster who assaulted her, she powerfully takes the moral route and declines his services. The camera pans to black solemnly with this haunting instrumental track by Daniel Lanois, a perfect backdrop to allow the audience to ponder everything that just happened and why Melfi was able to maintain strength that so many others wouldn’t have mustered. Anything with singing would have detracted from the environment the writers were trying to create, so this is a great song choice. 
Season 3 Episode 12: Amour Fou 
“Affection” by Little Steven and the Lost Boys
The penultimate episode of the third season features the climax of the relationship between Tony and Gloria, in which the crazy affection that they have for one another boils over into violence. Yet another of the brilliant musical choices this show made was to use the same song twice: once earlier in an episode, and then again in the final scene and credits. This tune, sung by Silvio Dante (Steven Van Zandt) himself, plays with Tony and Gloria spending time together mid-episode and then again at the end credits. 
Season 4 Episode 4: The Weight 
“Vesuvio” by Spaccanapoli
Another example of double dipping on the same song in one episode. The above scene between Carmela and Furio dancing and falling in love right underneath Tony’s nose uses this romantic Italian track by Spaccanapoli, and then uses it again in the final seconds when Carmela is daydreaming about Furio while having sex with Tony. So sensual and heavy, the audience knows that Carmela is going down a path she can’t see through to the end, but the music signifies the passion that she will inevitably entangle herself in for the time being. 
Season 4 Episode 7: Watching Too Much Television 
“Oh Girl” by The Chi-Lites
When an assemblyman starts an affair with Tony’s ex-lover, Irina, there is quite a bit of jealousy and ownership that exudes from the mob boss. This classic from the Chi-Lites plays in the car on the way over to the assemblyman’s house as Tony drives over to confront him about “taking” his mistress from him. It is a song which causes deep reflection and nostalgia for a lost love, and prompts Tony to get emotional listening to it. Wonderful acting by Gandolfini and superb use of in-world music that plays over to the credits, something the show got down to an art and a science simultaneously. 
Season 5 Episode 10: Cold Cuts 
“I’m Not Like Everybody Else” by The Kinks
No, Tony Soprano is certainly not like anybody else. He insists that Janice see anger management counselors at the beginning of this episode, and when she actually improves her mood because of it, his narcissism makes him antagonize her until a typical Soprano family fight breaks out at dinner. Tony walks out of the house with a despicable smile on his face to the tune of this intense rock anthem.
Season 5 Episode 11: The Test Dream 
“Three Times a Lady” by The Commodores
In an episode in which Tony spends 20 minutes literally dreaming about past and future problems in his life, culminating in the murder of Billy Leotardo by Anthony Blundetto, The Commodores soft romance hit plays us out. Tony calls Carmela to report about said dreams, part of which were repeat ones that have happened previously in Tony’s life. It’s nice for the audience to see these two having a tender exchange rather than the tense arguing that normally characterizes their marriage, especially because this was when the two were still separated previously throughout the fifth season. 
Season 6 Episode 4: The Fleshy Part of the Thigh 
“One of These Days” by Pink Floyd
Paulie Walnuts is a fan favorite for a myriad of reasons. Between his gray-haired wings and his immature one-liners, many forget that the mobster had one of the scarier violent streaks in the show. After discovering that his mother was actually his aunt, Paulie gets jealous of Jason Barone’s mother trying to protect him from the mafia after selling the sanitation business that serves as a front for the DiMeo crime family. This psychedelic, hard-rock snippet from Pink Floyd that blares in the credits after Paulie threatens Jason’s life at the end of episode is a strong reminder to the viewer that this is a character who borders on sociopathic most of the time. 
Season 6 Episode 12: Kaisha 
“Moonlight Mile” by The Rolling Stones
Unlike other iconic dramas, The Sopranos loved ending their season finales (and “Kaisha” is technically a season finale with season 6 split into two parts) with relative closure and absolutely no cliffhangers. The family has an enormous Christmas gathering at the Soprano residence, marked by A.J. bringing over an older girlfriend and Meadow’s rare absence from family time. This classic from The Rolling Stones that describes the feeling of trying to get back home off the road fits lovingly with the rare moment of calm before the storm that is the final season of the show.  
cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
Season 6 Episode 14: Stage 5 
“Evidently Chickentown” by John Cooper Clarke
This closing piece by John Cooper Clarke is actually considered a poetry performance, and the anger and fury that it inspires as Phil Leotardo laments being taken advantage of a few too many times is palpable. This is when we knew that war in New York was going to be bloody. The song also symbolizes the perpetual frustration both Christopher and Tony have with one another when they hug at the former’s baby’s baptism. The final season was certainly kicked up a couple notches as these final credits rolled. 
Season 6 Episode 17: Walk Like a Man 
“The Valley” by Los Lobos
This somber piece plays alongside Christopher picking up a tiny tree in his front yard after Paulie had attempted to destroy everything on his property as revenge for a violent incident. After Christopher thinks they’ve made up, Paulie and the gang start making fun of his infant daughter and laughing in his face. It is at this point that Chris understands he is forever an outsider, not loved by a single person on the planet. He will just trudge along and try to keep upright, which are themes displayed in this chilling and melancholy song of choice. 
Season 6 Episode 21: Made in America 
“Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey
The most famous song in the show is also the final one that plays right before the screen goes to black and Tony Soprano’s fate is left up to our own imagination (kind of). It’s technically not an end credits song, but there’s no way it can be excluded from this list. The song represents the nostalgia of sharing one final family meal together, the simplicities of the Soprano family when you strip away the mobster lifestyle and the murder, and it encourages the audience to never stop believing their favorite mob boss is still alive if that’s what they so choose to desire. A special ending to a legendary show!

Untamed Winter Fest Day 22: Naughty/Nice
Nie Mingjue was a disciplined man. Rarely patient, (he could be if given the right motivation), but disciplined in his actions, manners, routines. Yes, he had a temper, and certainly showed the harsher aspects of his personality to most of the world, but considering the things he could say instead of what he did, he showed his restraint and his discipline almost every hour of every day.
Of course, everyone had their weaknesses.
Mingjue was currently being assaulted by two of them.
One, was indulging his baby brother’s whims. Since the farm had become a bit of a destination in the winter for its ice rink and sleigh rides, they had started to arrange for more official events. Like hosting some of the local children’s homes and making sure everyone, children and adults included, had some presents and some good memories for Christmas. A fleeting thing, of course, a pointless frivolity in the face of their actual reality, but for just a few hours they could all have a winter wonderland experience and maybe pet a goat or a sheep or one of those damn alpacas Mingjue had been bullied into ‘rescuing.’
He would like to know when and how the farm had slowly started to become a petting zoo, but at least he was finding good, quality staff to take care of them. He should’ve known, a decade ago, when Huaisang had convinced him to expand into the sheep and wool side of the farming business that it would come to this. His baby brother was a master at playing the long game to achieve his goals.
It also meant that right now his home office was covered in wrapping paper, tape, bows, ribbons, and glitter from said ribbons. So much glitter. He probably had glitter in his lungs by this point. He damn well knew he had it on his skin because his husband kept laughing at him and wiping it off as they day had gone on.
Mingjue didn’t understand why he had to wrap this shit. He was fine signing off on the invoices and paying the credit card on the business account for buying out what had to have been four different Targets’ entire toy section. He would gladly give a tour of the grounds and help the tiny humans put on their little ice skates. But Mingjue was not competent when it came to gift-wrapping. He was far more the stick-it-in-a-bag-with-some-tissue-paper kind. He absolutely was the sucker who paid extra for the bags that already came with the tissue paper in them. His lack of skill was even more obvious when compared to his brother, his brother's boyfriend, and his husband who all apparently took present-wrapping classes somewhere. Theirs looked like they should be in a store window. Mingjue’s looked like it should be in the trash. Or thrown to Lulabelle.
It also didn’t help that he was continually being distracted by his second weakness.
His husband, of course, had always had him wrapped around one of his perfectly manicured fingers. His little fox worked on now, oblivious to what he was doing to Mingjue, or perhaps not oblivious at all but acting as such, carrying on wrapping the mountain of presents. At home Yao was his most relaxed. Gone were the fashionable clothing and accessories he donned like armor. Here at home he wore nothing but a pair of Nie Wool crew socks, some boxers, and one of Mingjue’s oldest sweaters. It was far, far too big on him, and stretched out from years of use, and kept falling off to one side, revealing a swath of skin that called to Mingjue. It was too much of a tempting distraction. That neck. That shoulder. Those collarbones. That concentrated profile as Yao made sure the corners of the presents were perfectly sharp and their ribbons were perfectly tied.
He was also singing something softly under his breath.
“What’s--” Mingjue cleared his throat, trying to drive away the hoarseness of his voice as his husband looked up at him through those damnable eyelashes. “What’s that you’re singing?”
“Riu Riu Chiu,” he said. “Just a Christmas carol.”
Mingjue didn’t speak much---he was guessing Spanish--but he recognized the ‘el lobo.’
“There’s something in there about a wolf,” he said.
“Yes,” Yao agreed with a teasing smile. “Wolf, devil, original sin, take your pick. Saving innocent Mary from the demon wolf's evil bite.”
It certainly wasn’t one about jingle bells and sleigh rides it seemed.
“I’ve always liked the way it sounds,” he said, humming the tune.
He shifted again, stretching out to push his latest present to the finished pile, the sweater rose up to expose the small of his back, the Nie Crest tattooed over his hip.
That was the final straw.
“Scissors!” Yao yelped as Mingjue grabbed him.
Mingjue carefully pushed them far to the side.
“You’re going to ruin the wrapping paper,” Yao complained as he was turned over and pressed down onto one of the unrolled sheets.
“Boo fucking hoo,” Mingjue said. “We’ll just buy more.”
“Don’t you dare ruin this sweater,” Yao said as he arched up into Mingjue’s hand. “It’s my favorite.”
“Then you better take it off,” Mingjue said before diving in to devour him.
**********
Huaisang walked into the farmhouse, arms full of shopping bags. Xuanyu followed him, pushing in a UPS box nearly as tall as him. The children’s home mentioned they needed a new play kitchen set. Huaisang had purchased three of them.
His eyes narrowed as he heard the sounds coming from upstairs.
“Oh no, someone’s definitely going on the Naughty List,” Xuanyu said as he finished dragging the package inside, the jingle bell necklace around his neck quieting as he stood still. “Better prepare those lumps of coal.”
“They can’t even be left alone to wrap some presents. For orphans,” Huaisang scoffed.
“Come on,” Xuanyu said, tugging on his arm. “Let’s go to my mom’s. She’s baking cookies today. You love her snowball cookies.”
A large thump and an even louder moan came from upstairs.
“And I don’t think they’re going to be done anytime soon.”
Huaisang leaned into Xuanyu’s arms and smiled at the soft kiss placed on his forehead.
“Yes, I’d love that,” he agreed. “Just one thing.”
He stepped out of Xuanyu’s hold and walked to the foot of the stairs.
“Close the fucking door next time you assholes! No one wants to hear that!”

8 Films We Can’t Wait To See at The 2018 Overlook Film Festival
The Overlook Film Festival descends on New Orleans in just a few short days, and this year’s lineup is jam packed with horror films, interactive exhibits and panels. A 4-day celebration of all things horror, this year’s festival begins April 19, 2018 in America’s most haunted city: New Orleans, Louisiana. A city brimming with ancient voodoo and restless spirits, New Orleans is also home to a ghost said to be Stephen King’s inspiration for The Shining‘s Grady Twins. Ghosts aside, The Overlook Film Festival is the most incredible film festival you will ever attend, and you should absolutely make the trip out this year to immerse yourself in a mind-bending weekend full of kickass movies, and kickass people.
The 2018 line-up is full of movies every horror fan is dying to see, including A24’s upcoming Hereditary and Blumhouse’s surprise sequel Unfriended: Dark Web. Also making an appearance are festival favorites Revenge, Tigers Are Not Afraid, and The Ranger which our very own Stephanie Cole called, “a great genre remix that gets to the heart of why horror fans keep coming back for more“. We’re crazy excited to take-in everything Overlook has to offer but here are 8 Movies that may not already be on your radar.
  Blood Fest
  Director: Owen Egerton Cast: Robbie Kay, Jacob Batalon, Seychelle Gabriel, Tate Donovan, Barbara Dunkelman, Nick Rutherford, Zachary Levi United States, 2018When the most exciting horror festival in the country turns the tables on its zealous fan base by trapping them on the grounds and murdering them en masse, a group of teens armed with the knowledge of a thousand horror movies must fight their way through the bloodbath in this hilarious send-up of horror culture.
  St. Agatha
  WORLD PREMIERE Director: Darren Lynn Bousman Cast: Sabrina Kern, Carolyn Hennesy, Courtney Halverson United States, 2018
Horror film impresario Darren Lynn Bousman, director of SAW II, III and IV, modern experiments REPO! A GENETIC OPERA and THE DEVIL’S CARNIVAL, not to mention the groundbreaking ongoing immersive property The Tension Experience, brings to life his latest vision, a period piece concerning a troubled woman running from her past who finds herself kept hostage by a coven of vicious nuns.
  Don’t Leave Home
  Director: Michael Tully Cast: Anna Margaret Hollyman, Lalor Roddy, Helena Bereen, David McSavage, Karrie Cox Ireland, 2018 An American artist accepts a strange invitation to a secluded Irish manor to construct an original sculpture for a priestly painter whose work has been shrouded in a sinister urban legend involving the disappearance of an 8-year-old girl in this creepy, offbeat cinematic discovery from indie stalwart Michael Tully (SEPTIEN).
  Ghost Stories
  Director: Jeremy Dyson & Andy Nyman Cast: Martin Freeman, Alex Lawther, Andy Nyman, Paul Whitehouse United Kingdom, 2017 After stumbling across a long-lost folder of material from his childhood hero, Goodman, a TV investigator known for debumking psychic hoaxes, digs deep into three cases of ghoulish hauntings. Determined to find rational explanations, Goodman quickly realizes he’s in over his head. Featuring Martin Freeman, this spine-tingling anthology, adapted from the hit stage play, tells enough tales to keep you up for nights to come.
  Good Manners
  Director: Juliana Rojas & Marco Dutra Cast: Isabél Zuaa, Marjorie Estiano, Miguel Lobo Brazil/France, 2017 A surprising, imaginative and engaging twist on classic genre stories told with a sophisticated cinematic technique, GOOD MANNERS begins unassumingly with a near destitute nurse becoming the caretaker for a wealthy, isolated pregnant woman exhibiting strange behavior. But soon her habits turn into a sleeping hunger that changes both of their lives forever.
  Satan’s Slaves 
  Director: Joko Anwar Cast: Tara Basro, Bront Palarae, Dimas Aditya, Endy Arfian, Nasar Annuz, Ayu Laksmi, Egy Fedly Indonesia, 2017 When Mawarni, a famous Indonesian singer, dies of a mysterious illness, her husband and four children are left behind to pick up the pieces, only to discover that they are being haunted by a pack of rabid spirits headed by Mawarni herself. Technically billed as a remake of the 1982 Indonesian remake of Don Coscarelli’s PHANTASM, celebrated director Joko Anwar’s SATAN’S SLAVES is its own chilling throwback to 70s supernatural thrillers, packed to the brim with jump scares and iconic imagery.
  What Keeps You Alive
  Director: Colin Minihan Cast: Hannah Emily Anderson, Brittany Allen, Martha Macisaac, Joey Klein, Charlotte Lindsay Marron Canada, 2018 For their first wedding anniversary, Jackie and Jules retreat to a cozy cabin near a beautiful lake. The sudden appearance of Jackie’s childhood best friend sets off a chain of unlikely events that turn a quiet vacation into the deadliest game of cat and mouse in Overlook Alum Colin Minihan’s (writer of STILL/BORN) claustrophobic survivalist thriller.
  Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich
  WORLD PREMIERE Director: Sonny Laguna & Tommy Wiklund Cast: Thomas Lennon, Michael Paré, Barbara Crampton, Udo Kier United Kingdom / United States, 2018 During a roadtrip to a convention for the 30th Anniversary of the infamous Toulon Murders, a comic book nerd, his new girlfriend and his best friend come face to face with a set of sadistic nazi puppets out for blood. A reimagining of the Charles Band classic, this uproarious horror comedy starring Thomas Lennon, Udo Kier, Barbara Crampton, Nelson Franklin, and Charlene Yi pays homage to the Full Moon features of the late 80s, early 90s.
  The Overlook Film Festival run April 19-24, 2018 at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana. Festival Passes and individual tickets can be purchased HERE. And if will be attending the festival this year, let us know on Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and in the Horror Fiends of Nightmare on Film Street Facebook group!
The post 8 Films We Can’t Wait To See at The 2018 Overlook Film Festival appeared first on Nightmare on Film Street - Horror Movie Podcast, News and Reviews.

The Love She Offered #2
Tumblr media
The Love She Offered #2 Source Point Press/Comics Experience 2019 Written by Glenn Møane Illustrated by Tirso Llaneta Coloured by Katherine Lobo & Monte Thompson Lettered by Marco Della Verde     Brian is getting nowhere with Sean. Despite their threats and their blows, the terrified young man keeps claiming he had nothing to do with the death of his daughter. So Brian asks his friend Ross to make a call. Which results in the arrival of a ruthless mob enforcer. Meanwhile, tensions flare between Ross and Earl. Worse, Brian's wife Vivian is not going to stay home and wait for him. She desperately needs to know what her husband is up to and begins looking for him. A decision that may lead to even more blood.     I love this pure and simple and the fact that despite the title of the book that the content is what it is fucking spectacular. (sorry I hate swearing but it fits) The opening here is brilliant as Brian's wife starts taking matters into her own hands. The way this is told is perfectly done and it shows this strength and determination only a grieving mother has. It's a great way to start off the issue that's for sure.     I get it Brian is a grieving father and he truly believes in heart that Sean is responsible for his daughters brutal murder. He is so sincere in this and all he wants is a confession outta the boy and now we have a new player showing up who well let's face it is a professional at this. His methods and his talents yeah they aren't going to jibe with what Brian has in mind for this. That the story & plot development and the character development that are utilised throughout the books structure is so incredibly well done. The pacing is on point as it picks up the developments and brings this to such a place that the reader can find themselves lost in what they see. The connection to the characters and finding those traits that they can relate to is here and so is going off script as you think of ways that things could or should be done and that's something to be enjoyed.     The characterisation is absolutely stellar and to see this quality and this level of talent and skill on display is incredible. All the emotions we see throughout this book are clear as crystal and it has this impact on the reader as we feel everything that they do and that kind of transfer is not at all common or what we should expect.     The interiors here are phenomenal. The linework is gorgeous and how the varying weights are utilised so that the attention to detail that we see is spectacular. The fact that the backgrounds have as much detail in them as do the main characters makes seeing this such a delight as they enhance the moments and bring a sense of size and scope to the story. The faces and facial expressions help to transfer those emotions they feel to the reader as they give us some of that extra characterisation that words alone cannot. How we see depth perception is so well rendered here. The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a masterful eye for storytelling. The colour work is great. I like how we see light sources are utilised so that we see the shading and shadows. How we see colours with their tones and hues this way is fantastic, I can't tell if it's colour blocking or gradation and that's as good as it gets. Though Sean with no body hair really that's disappointing and no happy trail or even a bulge what's up with that? ​     The story is amazingly well told from top to bottom and side to side so much so that you feel like you are a part of it. I am really surprised at how easily and strongly it is to connect to this as well. This is one of those books that makes you wonder where the hell the creative came from? Why we've never seen them before? And now have found themselves on our must follow list of creators. Folks this is going to be one your new favourite books.

An interview with Makayla Fray
Schninner: Whew! At a computer and have some wifi! *cracks knuckles* Lets get writing! So, I had an idea awhile back where, like in Young Justice where Black Canary was acting as the shrink, Canary would be sent to Team Astro’s base to interview new team members so the league could put their files in the JL data base. This kinda gives you guys an inside look on how the individual members felt toward their predicament and just give you an overall idea of their personality.
OOh! also!  This one takes place soon after the whole kidnapping thing, Makayla had recently been released from the hospital and had just started hero-ing again.
Tagging: @the-singing-canary and @cuddles-for-cassie gonna make one for Sirius as well :D 
OC:
Makayla Fray/Little Leaguer/Red Comet
Character(s):
Laurel Lance/Black Canary
Bruce Wayne/Batman
Lobo
Warnings: Mentions of torture
Word Count: 1311
Master List
Canary: Makayla, please answer the question.
Fray: …
Canary: *Sighs irritably* Makayla, please.
Fray: Why? I mean, you already know my story and about my family. I’ve told you before, or have you forgotten?
Canary: *sighs again and rubs temples* Yes, I remember, but you also have to remember that you told me this 7 years ago, before… the incident happened
Fray: “Incident?” You mean, that whole little “incident” when I was kidnapped and tortured? Or when I was turned into a human guinea pig for some unknown chemical?
Canary: *relaxed tone* Calm down, We just need you tell us your story again that way we can-
Fray: So you can what? Compare it to when I originally told you about my life, so you can determine whether or not I’m an imposter or clone?
Canary: …
Fray: *Bitterly laughs* Yeah, thought so. I’ll tell you my story, but only this once, so you better listen up. I was born in Gotham, and my dad ditched us and ran away with some young beauty shortly after I was born. I lived with my mom and my older brother, and at an early age of three I started showing signs of my metahuman abilities, which freaked out my mom so much, that she left us. My older brother Danny, who was probably the best person in the universe, didn’t want us to be thrown into the system, so we pretended that she was still with us, while he took care of us. That lasted for a few years, but one day, he didn’t come home…
Canary: *Concerned* Makayla? Are you okay?
Fray: *Swallows hard* Of course I am, why wouldn’t I be? Anyways, so I had no idea what happened to him, so I went out to look for him. A block away from my dumpy old apartment there were sirens and police cars. I didn’t see what was left of my brother,but I didn’t have to, I knew he was gone.
Canary: *leans over and places hand on shoulder* Fray, it’s okay to cry. You’ve been through so much already an-
Fray: *Hastily shakes hand off shoulder* I’m fine Laurel. I don’t need a shrink to “fix me,” I’m just going to finish this, that way I’ll be able to get back to patrolling. So anyways, I left home, I barely made it a full twenty four hours before I was mugged by a group of doofuses that thought they could take me down without a fight. They got a few small cuts on me, nothing to bad due to my tough skin, and I managed to hit one of them pretty hard, It wasn’t long before good old bats swooped in and scared the crap out of the lowlifes. He made sure I was all okay, then he brought me to the batmobile where we talked. He made me a deal, that if I go with him to the GCPD and cooperate with them,he’ll watch out for me and would help me control my powers. I agreed and was put into the foster care system. So everyday after school, no matter what city or state I was in, I could always travel to wherever I needed to thanks to the Zeta tubes that were always conveniently placed near me. I trained with pretty much everyone over the next 3 years.When I turned 8, I was allowed to come up with my own Alias and costume, and was granted permission to accompany any league member on a mission, but only when I was needed or chosen by a league member. I chose the name Little Leaguer and joined several of the leaguers,including you Canary,on various missions. I did this for a few years, and then I died. The end.
Canary: *slightly irritated* Makayla, don’t-
Fray: I’m sorry, but aren’t you checking to see if my story checks out with your original files? Yes? Well,if I remember correctly, the original files state that I “died” while foolishly going off on my own to beat up Lobo.
Canary: Yes but-
Fray: *Raises voice to talk over Canary* Of course, it left out the part that I was contacted by someone in the league telling me to go to the excact location Lobo was. I was told it was a live event on the news, that everyone saw me go into that building,Lobo following, then there was a big explosion. Lobo said I was dead. The league never questioned it, not even Batman did any further investigation, you all just assumed that your little pity case was dead and gone, setting up a memorial at the hall, while my wonderful foster parents were told I died in an accident, and refused to pay for a funeral for a girl that they had hardly known. My funeral was held close casket, paid by none other than Wayne enterprises, my whole family came too, my mentors, all accepting my death!
Canary: *calmly and collectively* Makayla, just take a deep breathe, and calm down-
Fray: *Standing and angrily pacing*  And your stupid “original files” on me  don’t even tell you the worst part. While you guys all went on with your lives, pretending that you didn’t know me, or trying to forget me, I was alive and breathing. Every single freakin day for the next… who knows how long, getting tortured for Your names. *Tears now streaming down her face* I told them nothing. Nothing. ‘Cause every day I thought ‘today is going to be the day that they find me, today is going to be the day where they finally rescue me.’
Canary: …
Fray: *Quietly whispers* but they never did.
Canary: *Stunned silence*
Fray: *Slowly sits back down, with tears rolling down* I don’t know when, but at some point they gave up on trying to get answers from me. I thought they were going to kill me, and sometimes, I wish they did. Because what happened next was much worse; they had sold me to the Prale, Some super smart alien, or whatever. I figured that they collect all sorts of funky space and interdimensional substances that they found around the universe and where curious on how they would react with living organisms. They brought me to some sort of Earth base for the Prale, where I spent the next few years being subjected to tests to a substance called “Red Comet.” They had no idea that their tests would give me even more special abilities. So, one day when they came to get me, I let loose. I-i didn’t mean to fry them, it just happened. I didn’t know what to do at first, but then I just started running. I burnt and beat everything and everyone in my path, freeing my fellow prisoners along the way. I eventually made it out of the building. Everything was so… bright. I had no idea where I was, but I knew where i needed to go. I knew that the Justice league had to be looking for me, so I flew, and made my way toward the hall of justice. That’s when I saw the memorial. *Bitterly laughs* and the sad thing was that, up until that point, I still had believed that the League was looking for me. I thought that as soon as I got there I would welcomed back with opened arms and told how hard you guys looked for me. But, come to find out, that you guys didn’t look for me at all. You never gave me a second thought. You just set up some hologram of me in the hall and called it good.
Canary: Makayla, I’m sorry, I-I didn’t know-
Fray: Of course you didn’t. Nobody did. *Wipes eyes* well, that's it. You got my story. *stands up* Now if you excuse me, I’ll be leaving.

Know more about Italian Interior Designers and their influence
Tumblr media
Italy and Italian Design have always presented us with several strong and powerful examples of luxury and quality design works, inspirations and projects that put our imagination and design taste in overdrive! Let’s have a deeper look at the way Italian Interior Designers have changed design as many people used to know it.
From amazing Home Interior Projects or stunning Contract Examples to incredible Showcases or Expositions in some of Italy’s top Galleries, in this top guide/ article, you’ll find the Best of the Best of Italian Design and Italian Creativity! We’ll go beyond the Luxury Brands and the Luxury Designers and we’ll show you the Backstage and the true Nature, Quality and Creativity of the grand world of Italian Design and Interior Design!
The Italian Influence in Europe
If you’re paying attention, then you know that Italian Design is one of the main sources of inspiration for the world’s industry of Interior Design. It’s almost impossible to find a Top Brand or Designer that never showcased a project with Italien Influences. This proves the range and the power that the Italian Industry Design in the world!
Portugal, for example, isn’t an exception. Even though Portugal and Italy share many Craftsmanship Values, like the love for Woodworking or the passion for ancient techniques involving Glass or Jewellery, we can say for sure that many of today’s Portuguese top brands and designers get some inspiration form the Italian Designer, in fact many of the designers of the top Portuguese brands studied in Italy!
A stunning luxury brand that perfectly balances the Portuguese Design Values with the Italian Design Inspirations is Boca do Lobo. This stunning brand with a high focus on craftsmanship provides glorious pieces that combine craftsmanship techniques, values and inspirations with some luxury and opulent style. Their pieces are a full example of how Art, Design and Craftsmanship can work together to create stunning pieces. Do you want the perfect piece of Boca do Lobo that combines the best of Portugal and Italy? Then we highly recommend you take a look at the stunning Fortuna Dining Tale!
Other brands from other parts of the world also mimic the style of the Italians. Take for instance the incredible and late Zaha Hadid that clearly got some inspiration from the modern architectural lines created by Gio Ponti in Italy! Her design brand mimics the same style and we can perfectly envision any Zaha Hadid piece in a modern Italian villa!
Luxury Brands that Are Vehicles for the Italian Style and Italian Designers
 Italy is home to some of the biggest Luxury Design Groups in the World and some of the most expensive and popular designer brands on the planet! These brands are the direct result of everything that we’ve talked above. They are the end refined result of years of Italian Design Style and Progressive Refinement that was provoked by some of the biggest and most talented designers and creative minds of Italy!
The luxury basis of top brands like Fendi Casa, Roberto Cavalli Home, Missoni, Seletti, Kartell, Baxter, Bugatti Home, Armani Casa, Versace Home, Porada, Poltrona Frau, Cassina, Flexform, B&B Italia or Molteni can all be traced to the same origin: Italian Craftsmanship and Italian Classic Furniture Style.
Every single one of the brands mentioned above, as well as many others that focus on Italian Design, get their inspiration from the biggest Italian Craftsmanship Ideas, Art and Inspirations! They embody the Italian Design Style and the values of Italien Furniture that are based on Elegance, Luxury, Craftsmanship and Durability!
That’s why all the major Interior Designers of Itlay have collaborated, at one time or another, with these Top and Luxury Brands and that’s why the value of these two pillars of Italian Interior Design are linked and they will always be linked. We risk saying that if Gio Ponti and other Masters of Design didn’t inspire or collaborated with these brands, there wouldn’t be a Fendi Casa or a Poltrona Frau as we know them today!
Legends of Italian Design
Gio Ponti
Alongside with Mendini, Gio Ponti was also part of the Modernity Movement of the Italian Design! This two Italian design icons helped elevate the Design Industry in this country and in Milano, and they both had a powerful contribution in the progressive transformation of this cultural hub into the top Design Capital of the country and into one of the Design Capitals of Europe!
  On his own, Ponti is considered the father of modern Italian design, but to be fair he was only one part of a much larger movement: But no one doubts that Ponti was one of the ones that started the Design Movement in Italy and he developed a method of introducing his prolific work and method to the entire industry.
There was little that Ponti couldn’t do. He trained as an Architect and in this Job, he created some of Italy’s most stunning and modern structures, like the Pirelli Tower, a statement of Modern Italian Architecture and a Vehicle for the Modernity of Design! But he also made a name for himself designing ceramics, glassware, and furniture, in fact, his life work was at the basis of some of the great design brands of today!
Alessandro Mendini
We’ll start with the beginning and by this, we mean to say that we’ll star with the Legends and Icons that Inspired and Kickstarted the Growth of the Italian Design Industry. One of those legends recently left us in 2019, and his name is Alessandro Mendini! This top product designer was one of the Fathers of Modern Italian Design and during his long and prestigious career he helped shape the incredible industry of Italian Furniture and it’s amazing Craftsmanship Style!
Famed for designs that include the iconic Proust Armchair, Mendini was one of those Legends who were at the front row of the radical design of the Italian Modernity movement that started in the 1960’s. He produced some of the most stunning projects, but at the backstage, he also helped Italy’s Editorial/ Media business to grow to incredible new heights with his incredible inside knowledge of Design!
Other relevant names
With their powerful and unique style, Ponti and Mendini will always be remembered as the Founding Fathers of Modern Italian Design, but they must share this status for all eternity with other great design icons, namely Achille Castiglioni, Gae Aulenti, Joe Colombo, Franco Albini, Mario Bellini, Luigi Caccia Dominioni, Enzo Mari, Carlo Mollino, Carlo Scarpa or Marco Zanuso! As you can see, Italy’s Design History is rich in Design Influences and Amazing Creators, and that’s why this is one of the Top Design Markets in the World.
Top Italian Interior Designers of Today
Antonio Citterio
Legends like Ponti or Bellini inspired all of the great Architects and Product or Interior Designers of today’s Italian Design Industry. We can’t find one Great Name of Today’s Design that isn’t inspired by at least one of the names mentioned before and that says a lot about the legacy that those legends left the Designers of Today. In fact, some of the Top Designers of today were Mentored by those Legends of the Past.
One of the top names of today’s Italian Design is Antonio Citterio.  Like all the design legends that inspired his youth, Citterio started his career in Milano and like his hero, Gio Ponti, Citterio started his Academic and Professional life as an Architect. From 1987 to 1996, Citterio worked in association with Terry Dwan in several amazing buildings in Europe and Japan, but after many years spent designing buildings, Citterio also decided to follow the footsteps of Ponti and became a prominent Furniture and Industrial Designers!
In the capacity of Product Designer, Citterio helped shape the World and Style of some Top Italian Brands of Today, namely Vitra, Ansorg, Arclinea, Axor-Hansgrohe, B&B Italia, Flexform, Flos, Hermès, Iittala, Kartell, Maxalto, Sanitec (Geberit Group) or Technogym! All of them showcase in their most popular Collections of all time at least one piece designed by Citterio and those pieces bear his amazing trademark style that boosts Italian Modernity and a more Contemporary Vibe!
The versatility of Citterio also reaches the world of Interior Design Projects. To better pursue this career, Citterio founded, in 2000, with Patricia Viel, the Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel Studio, a cross-disciplinary practice for architecture and interior design that is always developing complex projects on all scales in collaboration with a qualified network of specialist consultants. one of this firm’s top project was the incredible BULGARI HOTEL in Shanghai in 2018, where Citterio and Biel used that Iconic Touch of the famous designer by promoting the use of modern Chairs and Tables!
Dimore Studio
Also related to the world of Luxury Interior Design we can find another major name of the current Design Industry in Italy. We are of course talking about the Dimore Studio, another heavy hitter studio based in Milano that’s quickly becoming an International Trend Setter.  Head Designers Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran both invested in their individual experience and founded in 2003 this now prestigious studio on the hopes that this institution could become a beacon for Italian Design!
And that’s precisely what this studio has become. With a focus on Design Art and Fashion, the Dimore Studio have collaborated in the past few years of some of the great names of Italian craftsmanship like Ceramica Bardelli, but their list of clients/ partnerships also includes some top names of Italian Luxury, like Fendi. In fact, Dimore Studio was responsible for the redesign of some of the most iconic Fendi Shops in Italy and they work closely with this brand in their Design Projects in Italy.
Fendi knows that Dimore will always represent the Essence of Italian Design and, since Fendi it’s also a Top Italian Ambassador, they know that only a Great Name of Italian Design can perfectly recreate the image that they want to transmit! This love of the Dimore Studio for the World of Art and the Style of Italian Design led it’s Head Designers to create the Dimore Gallery, a top Design Gallery in the Heart of Milano where this studio pays a constant tribute to the past, present and future inspirations and products of Italy!
Karim Rashid
We couldn’t pass the opportunity of mentioning another great name of Italian Design, but like the other Two Giants mentioned earlier, this one is native of Italy but his influence is well present in the Italian Design Industry. That’s right, Karim Rashid design impresses because of the quantity (over 3000 pieces produced, 300 prizes and presence in 40 countries), diversity (furniture design, spaces, product, new technology, lighting, packaging, fashion, identity, surfaces and not only) and modernity and it’s this versatility that led him to focus in Italy, as well as France in Canada.
Rashied studied in Italy and that’s why is style is influenced by the Italian Style of Design. Even though we can trace his origins to French Design, it was in Italy that Rashid learns all of the skills and absorbed all the influences that allow him to become that top Interior and Product Designer that he is today.
That’s why Rashis is, like Dimore and Citterio, a top and recurrent presence in all the major Design Events in Italy and a Top Reference for all major luxury brands, publications, galleries and design museums of Italy. There are many other names of today’s Italian Design that are also shared with other Cultures and Countries. One of those top designers is Patricia Urquiola!

Patricia Urquiola
 Top collaborator of Kartell and a regular presence at the prestigious Salone del Mobile event, Urquiola is one of today’s faces of French Design, but it’s also impossible to disassociate her name with the Italian Design Industry. In fact, Urquiola is one of the patrons of Italian Craftsmanship, in fact, in 2018 she was the Guest of Honor of Homo Faber, a top Craftsmanship Event in Venice where she presented a strong showcase of her Colorful Style mixed with the Craftsmanship Values of Italy, namely the love of this country for Hand Made and Elaborate products in Wood and Glass!
With stunning projects around the world, including Italy, Urquiola always manages to bring to her Italian Designs and Creations those inspirations that are at the core of her education and that helped her become one of the top designers in the world. From her award-winning project at Hotel Il Sereno in Lake Como to more residential Projects in Central Italy, Urquiola provides each Italian project the passion and the style that characterizes but always adapted to the Italian Culture.
Ludovica and Roberto Palomba
Ludovica and Roberto Palomba are also Top Names of today’s Italian Design! They are the two founders of the Palomba Serafini Associati, a powerful design studio based in Milan, Italy, that was created in 1994. For the past years, they have been collaborating with the most prestigious design brands from all over the world, namely Poltrona Frau, and the majority of their products designed since 1994 is still in production, making them some of the most long-standing design studios in production in Italy!
And like Ludovica and Palomba or all the other names on this List, the very own Italian Style that characterizes many products from the Top Italian Brands can also be found in the heart of the architectural projects of one of Italian architecture biggest names: the award-winning Piero Lissoni, the internationally known architect and designer with a vision for spaces, ambiances and time. Through his works we will see the developing world of architecture in Italy and in the world reflected in his hospitality projects, furniture designs and futuristic ideas.
Art & Design Icons of Italy
It’s not only within the Interior Design Industry or the Architectural Business that the powerful Italian Style is evoked. Also linked to that two powerful industries we have another major vehicle of the Italian Design: The Art World. Well, the relation of Italy with Art is legendary. Most of the major Artists of the World, from the Ancient Art to the Contemporary Age, are Italian or build their careers in Italy, but even though masters like Leonardo DaVinci, Rafael, Donatello or Michelangelo are still strong sources of inspiration for today’s Italian Art Scene, today we are focusing on the Design Art!
It’s within the specific category of the Art World where we can find even more stunning examples of the characteristic Italian Style and Way of Life! There are many big names of the Italian Design Art Scene that mixe their love for both Art and Design and it’s time for us to highlight those names.
Rossana Orlandi
One of the more irreverent names of both the Art & the Design scene is Rossana Orlandi. This Lady of Italian Design is amazing and the perfect example of how the worlds of Interior Design, Art and Craftsmanship can come together under one single roof. That’s precisely what Orlandi tried to do when she opened the Gallery Rossana Orlandi in 2002 in a former tie Factory in the Magenta neighbor.
Galleria Rossana Orlandi has been forecasting along the years new and upcoming designers and establishing the premise as one of the most revered platforms for avant-garde Design and Lifestyle. Started her activity focusing on the rising Dutch design wave with designers such Piet Hein Eek, Maarten Baas and Nacho Carbonell the research has moved widely around the world creating a catalog which reflects the most innovative scenes from Europe to Asia to America, but always with a strong focus on the Italian Inspirations!
Gaetano Pesce
Gaetano Pesce and Piero Fornasetti are other of the two biggest names linked to Craftsmanship, Art and Design. With a passion for Murano Glass and other Italian Classic Design Techniques, such as Wood Craving and Porcelain Work, these two top designers and top instigators of the value of Craftsmanship in the Italian Design Industry are two of the top flagship names of Italian Value in the World of Art and Design!
Piero Fornasetti was one of the top Artists of Italy and, when he died in 1988, his legacy was kept alive by his studio that, till today, is kept in business by a dedicated team of professionals that bring to life in new design projects and pieces the life and work of this Italian master.

Major Design Events That Are International Vehicles of Italian Design
Needless to say that one of the biggest supporters and partners of the Italian Design Industry is also one of the major design events in the world: The Salone Internazionale del Mobile. This top event was founded in 1961 as a vehicle for promoting Italian furniture and furnishings exports and soon became the most keenly awaited event in the world of furniture.
With spin-off events in Asia and Eastern Europe, the Salone del Mobile is, without a doubt, the most important event of the Design Scene in Italy and one of the most important ones in Europe. It’s at this prestigious event held in Milano that all major Luxury Brands, Designers e Art Promoters come together to celebrate the best that Italy has to offer within the Design Industry.
It’s no coincidence that this event is held in the same week that the prestigious Milan Design Week, a full Design Celebration that transforms Milano in the Design Capital of the World! This is the most important Design Weeks in the World and it’s, without the doubt, one of the biggest showcases of Italian Power in this industry. The entire city lights up with incredible Design Celebrations that mix National and Foreign Designers and Brands that are joined together in Milano to get inspired by the Italian Design Style!
No wonder the Italian Style is considered one of the Fathers of the Design World. The Milano Design Week gives a perfect extension to this title, because at any amazing Design District of the city, like Brera or Tortona, you can witness the perfect balance, innovation, creativity and strength of the Italian Design Culture! All the top designers that we’ve mentioned before, as well as design students, the major design brands in the world, the top foreign designers and many other creative minds from other art related industries all flock to Milano every year to be a part of this celebration and get inspiration from the values of Italian Design.
