Military Masterpiece (Part I)
This is the story of Vincenzo Alessandro Farnese di Piu, a brash Italian aristocrat fallen on hard times who dedicated himself to living the good life.
His family, fed up with the constant scandals of their eldest son, decided to send him back to the Lombardy infantry, the only place where Vincenzo showed signs of following any kind of discipline in his life.
But on the way, Vincenzo sat down to think if military glory was really the best fate that could befall him...
He had been there before. With merits too! The only time in his life he had been told he did something well.
The military merit award, the Red Cross medal, the chevrons, the respect of his comrades...
...Yes, his family was right, the Army made him nobler, more honorable, more worthy, contact with horses, nature, exercise... he would be more of a man after all... jjjjbbbbrrrrffff!!!! MORE OF A MAN?...ma che dice!!!...tu e loco!!! Io sonno un cabalieri!
...no, no, no....pronto Mamma! espeta, non e posibile. Io non posso andare a la armata, e molto dificile e niente divertente, non mi piacce. Io andare pal Formentera... Il pecunia non e un problema, Io buscare una bella donna con molto denero, ad esempio una Condesa o qualque cosa. Ciao Mamma, nonti preocupare, Io ti amo molto molto! Ciao! Ciao!
Here is my first military creation. The title of the post is placed without any modesty, I know, but it took me a lot of work and I love that jacket madly. What do you think? Just a moment, I didn't make the structure of the jacket, no, I'm not the tailor of Panama yet, give me time, this one was made by a certain Ralph Lauren, who isn't bad at it, really. But everything that goes on top of it I put on myself after seeing Coldplay's and racking my brain and hands to see how it looked best. If anyone wants more details about the steps or explanations of how it was made, let me know and I'll tell them. Otherwise, in the post as written, it seemed much more boring than the story of Vincenzo, who is a darling.
Hello! Well to sumarize a little, I made up a whole story to present this wonderful military jacket I've made. Ejem. Right, the jacket itself was made by somebody called Ralph Lauren, oh well, but what I did was to operate on the surface to make it look like a happy military jacket. The story I made up is about an italian aristocrat who went to the army and is dedicated to live the good life once is over. After several scandals he's told to go back by his family but instead of that he decides it'd be much better to spend the rest of his life in Formentera. The idea came to me because I think the jacket looks like it can only be worn by someone with a huge personality and a happy view on life...a lovely bon vivant.
