It’s official: I am a demanded top model! 😎

Well, you be the judge as to whether “top” might actually be over the top (even though my husband says no) and “demanded” won’t hold true because I wasn’t really asked. 😉

Anyway, it is a fact that I am featured prominently in “Le Rubriche delle Dolls”! 🙂

As a kitchen maid presenting Mamis Gulasch rather than a fashion model but it still counts! 😄

You’re probably wondering what’s the deal. Well, a few months back, my good friend Ludovica from Italy texted me about a book-making class working on a project for their final exam. 👩‍🎓

Part of their work was this lovely little 8-page piece designed by Francesca Raspanti of which the title translates to “The Dolls’ Columns”. According to Ludo, the idea was inspired by an old Italian teen magazine from the 90s called “Cioè” and also partly by my website which I consider an honour. ❤️

Personally, I like the column “Che bambola sei?” (“what doll are you?”) a lot, not only because it features Harry and myself in the right corner below. 😉

This is like one of those pseudo-psychological test the various youth magazines used to have back in the day – not to be taken seriously but still entertaining. 🙂

Five questions to help you find out as to whether you are a fashion doll or a nature doll – sounds fun! Let’s go for it! 😄

As the automatic translation does not work on images and I don’t understand any Italian, I referred to DeepL to do the job. 👩‍💻

What can I say, I like the complete book. And look, my girl crush Marina is prominently featured also. 😍
