<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Heute Nacht fuhr ich allein mit dem Fahrrad durch die Stadt. Dabei kam ich an der Stelle vorbei, wo ich Leila in der Weihnachtszeit gesagt hatte, dass es schön sei, mit ihr durch die Gegend zu laufen.</p>
<p>Ich denke daran als schöne Zeit zurück.</p>
<p>Dann habe ich daran gedacht, dass sie irgendwann mal einen anderen Freund haben wird. Der Gedanke war ... irgendwie doch schön. Seltsam.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.trendycoolartstuff.com/images/children.jpg"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.trendycoolartstuff.com/images/children.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="445" /></a>Io ho due bambini sfortunati.</p>
<p>Non sto parlando di Leila, che in questo momento sta stropicciando il manuale del mio portatile con l'aria estasiata di chi ha scoperto il più bel gioco del mondo.</p>
<p>Khadija ha i bacinetti renali dilatati. 6 mm. Potrebbe peggiorare prima della nascita. Non so cosa ci aspetta. Potrebbe essere da niente a un sacco di casini. Cerco di pensare positivo, ma non serve a molto. Nel frattempo mi sto istruendo sull'argomento e ho già in mente un consulto al Gaslini non appena saremo in grado di andarci.</p>
<p>Poi c'è l'altro, che se la passa anche peggio. Che non dovrei dire <em>bambino</em>, che avrà a dir poco 21 anni. Ma per me resta sempre il casinista tredicenne che veniva con i suoi amici a farsi fare un panino dopo la scuola. E il più delle volte gli facevo lo sconto.</p>
<p>E poi era sparito. Mi avevano detto che era al minorile di Torino perché aveva rapinato qualcuno. Uno scricciolo di 30 kg, che sembrava il Padron Frodo del Signore degli Anelli? Alto uguale, bello uguale ma molto più simpatico...</p>
<p>Al minorile di Torino, Adil ha scoperto il crack.</p>
<p>Da quel giorno è stata una bella escalation. Mi ricordo il pomeriggio in cui l'ho incrociato vicino a Via del Campo in compagnia di uno fatto perso come lui. Sudato, con un maglione nero pesante a collo alto. Era Luglio. Io mi sarei scuoiata viva dal caldo. Lui col maglione nero a collo alto. Gli chiedo se ha da accendere. Lui così dolce e simpatico, che mi ha sempre chiamato mamma, mi manda a fare in culo e mi dice di tutto senza un perché. Io, come ogni mamma che si rispetti, lo prendo a schiaffi di brutto, con tutta la forza che ho. Finché non piange. E me ne vado, con la mia voglia di fumare ormai dimenticata.</p>
<p>Poi, dopo anni, la svolta. Incontra questa ragazza, vanno a convivere da lei. Lei una tipa a posto, simpatica. Anche bella. Lavora. Vanno a Torino al consolato del Marocco a fare i documenti per sposarsi. Mi chiama dal treno, e io mi raccomando di controllare i fogli prima di partire, perché a noi hanno sbagliato un indirizzo e siamo dovuti tornare là a farlo correggere.</p>
<p>La favola dura un annetto. Non più di un mese fa lo vedo passare davanti al negozio. Ha due occhiaie terribili e le labbra viola. Tutti i giorni lo vedo e tutti i giorni è uguale. Ieri mangiava delle barrette Kinder seduto di fronte al supermercato di sotto. Mi sa che è tornato a fare il pusher per farsi di crack.</p>
<p>Khadija posso curarla. Ma non so cosa fare per lui.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Immer wieder geht mir die Frage durch den Kopf, was Leila eigentlich von mir hält. Abgesehen von der "fernmündlich" übermittelten Einschätzung habe ich von ihr noch nie persönlich vernommen, ob sie mich gern hat. Selbst wenn sie gewollt hätte, wäre sicherlich noch ihre Schüchternheit im Wege. Jedenfalls kann ich davon ausgehen, dass sie mich nicht hasst oder verabscheut. Andererseits bin ich mir der Tatsache bewusst, dass viele Männer die Freundlichkeit von Frauen als erotische Zuneigung fehldeuten.</p>
<p>Dabei wäre es doch so einfach zu fragen. Aber es darf nicht sein.  Fragte ich sie, bekundete ich wieder mehr Interesse, als gut ist. Aufgrund ihrer Ehrlichkeit würde die Tatsache der Nachfrage schnell die Runde bis hin zu Daniela machen. Bei ihr kämen dann wieder Zweifel, Angst und Unsicherheit auf. Meine (anscheinend ?) fortwährende Verliebtheit (Liebe ?) darf sie niemals erfahren.</p>
<p>Also muss ich damit leben, dass ich nichts genaueres weiß. Dabei habe ich schön ziemlich lange das Gefühl, dass mich Leila mag. Vielleicht mag sie mich sogar mehr, als nur freundschaftlich. Mir kommt es jedenfalls manchmal so vor. Ich habe das Gefühl, ich müsste sie beschützen, auf sie aufpassen. Als wartete sie freiwillig in einem geöffneten Käfig darauf, dass ich sie abholte.</p>
<p>Sie ist so ehrlich, so rein, so unverdorben. Niemals würde sie etwas tun, was Daniela und mich trennt.  Deswegen würde sie es auch nie sagen, wenn sie mich "mehr" mag.</p>
<p>Das einzige was zu bleiben scheint, ist ihr Verhalten zu beobachten und es zu interpretieren. Andererseits habe ich das Gefühl, so zu "spät" zu kommen -- dass Leila irgendwann einen anderen findet mit dem sie glücklich wird. Auf der einen Seite möchte ich das garnicht, andererseits ist es das, was ich mir für sie wünsche: dass <em>sie</em> glücklich wird. Dass sie die Liebe kennen lernt und das Leben intensiver genießen kann, als sie es jetzt tut.</p>
<p>Ich bin mit Daniela nicht unglücklich -- ganz im Gegenteil!  Sie möchte ich nicht verlieren, und Leila nicht verpassen.</p>
<p>Eine innige Freundschaft ist wohl das, was ich mir wünschen kann. "Die einzige Möglichkeit einen Freund zu haben, ist selber einer zu sein" -- nach diesem Programm sollte es gehen.</p>
<p>Freundschaft.</p>
<p>Ist mir das genug?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wenn ich gerade so an Leila denke, kommen mir meine Gedanken unscharf vor. Es ist wie, als ob ich sie nicht zu "fassen" bekäme. Und da ist dann noch so ein ganz leicht warmes Gefühl in der Magengegend...</p>
<p>Gleite ich hier gerade wieder in den Zustand der Verliebtheit hinein? Es scheint mir so, als könnte ich gerade zusehen, wie sich meine Wahrnehmung verengt und sich meine Hormone wieder durchmischen. Ist das normal, wenn man sich noch offener und bereitwilliger mit der Thematik auseinander setzt?</p>
<p>Verliebe ich mich gerade wieder? Ich will das nicht. Nein -- wirklich nicht. Und ich glaube, solange ich noch dieser Ansicht bin, läuft noch alles im Rahmen.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vergangene Nacht hatte ich einen Traum, in dem Leila einen Freund hatte. Es war eine Person, die ich flüchtig kenne und als unangenehm ansehe. Aua!</p>
<p>Warum tut mir das weh? Zu Zeiten der brennenden Verliebtheit konnte ich mir nicht vorstellen, dass Leila einen anderen Freund hätte. Später redete ich mir immer ein, dass das nun kein Problem mehr für mich wäre. Aber anscheinend ist es das doch.</p>
<p>Wir übernachteten heute im Elternhaus. So konnte ich sie den ganzen Tag sehen. Etwas von dieser unsicheren Athmosphäre zwischen Daniela, Leila, Ute, Torsten und mir ist noch immer in der Luft. Ute und Torsten wissen seit dem Tag, als ich Daniela einweihte, bescheid.</p>
<p>Ich traue mir nicht, Leila länger anzusehen. Aber ich möchte es wieder. Sie ist so wunderbar, so zerbrechlich, so rein. Aber was empfindet sie? Fragen kann ich sie nicht mehr. Zu groß sind die überwundenen Schmerzen. Alle sind überzeugt, dass die Verliebtheit Vergangenheit ist. Ich eigentlich auch...</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Es war Silvester 2001--2002, als ich Daniela das erste mal richtig wahr nahm. Ich hatte sie und eine gemeinsame Freundin eingeladen, mit uns den Jahreswechsel zu verbringen. Im März des darauf folgenden Jahres zeigten meine fortwährenden Bemühungen endlich den erhofften Erfolg und wir wurden ein Paar. Was folgte, war eine wunderschöne Zeit.</p>
<p>In dieser Zeit unternahmen wir viel miteinander. Wir beide blühten auf, wir genossen die junge Liebe und den Sommer. Wir fuhren erst gemeinsam mit Leila, Ute und Torsten und später allein in den Urlaub. Wir näherten uns seelisch aneinander an. Ich adaptierte die Verhaltensweisen von Daniela, sie tat das gleiche mit meinen Ansichten. Schon von Anfang, sagten uns die Leute, wir verhielten uns "wie ein altes Ehepaar".</p>
<p>Doch spätestens bei dem zweiten gemeinsamen Urlaub mit Schwester und Eltern nahm ich auch Leila zunehmend wahr. Schon immer hatte ich jedoch das Gefühl, meine Empfindungen nicht ehrlich zeigen zu dürfen. Ich empfand zunächst nur den Wunsch, mit ihr zu kommunizieren. Ich mochte sie als Mensch.</p>
<p>Diese entstandene Zuneigung schwankte im Laufe der Jahre.  Mal störte mich ihre Art, mal fühlte ich mich stark zu ihr hin gezogen. Offen zugegeben hätte ich das nie.</p>
<p>Als Daniela und ich dann im Herbst 2007 in unsere erste, gemeinsame Wohnung zogen, kam eine Art Wende. Jetzt wohnte Sie nicht mehr zu Hause bei den Eltern. Es war nun plötzlich möglich, Leila und Daniela auch getrennt voneinander zu begegnen.</p>
<p>Kurz danach feierte ich meinen Geburtstag. Auch Leila, Ute und Torsten lud ich dazu (erstmals) ein. Beim Abschied umarmte ich Leila das erste Mal -- das hatte ich mir schon lange zuvor gewünscht.</p>
<p>Plötzlich ging ich mit meiner Zuneigung zu Leila viel offener und ehrlicher mir gegenüber um. Gesagt habe ich allerdings nichts davon. Weder Daniela noch Leila. Zunehmend entstand der ehrliche Wunsch, mit Leila etwas zu unternehmen, sie kennen zu lernen. Ich wollte ihr Kumpel sein.</p>
<p>In der Weihnachtszeit 2007 brach dann eine rückblickend sehr schöne Zeit an. Alles begann, als ich Leila fragte, ob sie mit mir gemeinsam "auf die Jagt nach Weihnachtsgeschenken für Daniela" gehen wollte. Sie bejahte dies und so hatten wir unseren ersten gemeinsamen Einkaufsbummel. Ich genoss dieses Ereignis sehr. Leila war natürlich zurückhaltend -- mit der Gesamtsituation nicht vertraut. Wir schlenderten durch Kaufhäuser und Weihnachtsmärkte und ich nahm ihren wunderbaren Geruch auf.</p>
<p>Ein paar Tage später, fragte ich sie wieder nach einer Einkaufstour. Glücklicherweise war die erste nicht erfolgreich gewesen. Auch dazu sagte sie ja, und der Traumtanz begann von neuem. Allerdings hatte ich mir dabei vorgenommen, ihr zu sagen, dass ich sie mag. Ganz konnte ich dieses Ziel nicht umsetzen. Allerdings sagte ich ihr, dass es sehr schön sei, mit ihr zusammen zu shoppen.</p>
<p>In der Weihnachtszeit sahen wir uns dann ziemlich oft. Glücklicherweise gibt es dort ja viele Anlässe, zu denen man sich trifft.</p>
<p>Silvester feierten wir in unserer Wohnung gemeinsam mit Freunden -- und mit Leila. Ihr Beisein hatte schon viel länger zuvor in Erwägung gezogen aber nie erwähnt. Geklappt hat es dennoch. Direkt zum Jahreswechsel standen wir zu dritt am Flussufer und beobachteten das Feuerwerk über der Stadt. Daniela stand vor mir, ich umarmte Sie von hinten. Vor Daniela stand Leila. Und ganz unscheinbar berührte und umarmte ich auch sie -- alle beide.</p>
<p>In den folgenden Monaten unternahmen wir manches zu dritt. Wir machten Spieleabende, gingen ins Kino oder ins Kneipenviertel. Ich genoss diese Treffen natürlich sehr. Es entstand die Illusion, man könnte doch auch (polyamor) zu dritt leben.</p>
<p>Dieser Gedanke bohrte sich in meinem Kopf fest. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt gestand auch ich mir ein, vollends verliebt zu sein. Keine klaren Gedanken mehr -- nur noch die Suche nach Möglichkeiten <em>sie</em> zu treffen. Es zerriss mich. Ständig hin und her gerissen zwischen der stressigen Realität und einer süßen Traumwelt. Jedoch wusste ich nie, was Leila eigentlich von mir hält. Ob sie meine Gefühle vielleicht sogar teilt?</p>
<p>Ich setzte Zeichen, interpretierte ihre Reaktionen, drehte mich argumentativ im Kreis. Irgendwann war ich mir sicher, dass ich es den beiden sagen müsste. Lange überlegte ich, was wohl dabei die beste Methode wäre. Schließlich entschied ich mich dafür, zunächst Leila in Kenntnis zu setzen.</p>
<p>An einem Nachmittag holte ich sie ab. Gemeinsam wollten wir zu einer Familienfeier gehen. Daniela hatte an diesem Tag zu arbeiten und konnte nicht dabei sein. Leila und ich waren viel zu zeitig dran, und so entschlossen wir uns noch ein Wenig am Fluss spazieren zu gehen. Das war natürlich alles von mir so geplant...</p>
<p>Dort am Fluss erzählte ich ihr dann, wie sehr ich sie mag. Es hatte sie überwältigt. Vielleicht hatte sie sogar Angst vor mir; Angst, ich könnte ihr etwas antun. Nichts lag mir ferner als das! Ihre Reaktion war jedoch nicht, wie erträumt, froh und erleichtert, sondern das ganze Gegenteil. Sie war dennoch sehr stark und verkraftete es, dass wir anschließend noch auf die Feier gingen. Ich verlies das Fest jedoch bald, um stundenlang allein nach Hause zu laufen und weiter nachzudenken.</p>
<p>Ich hatte Leila auch gefragt, was wohl ihrer Meinung nach die Beste Variante wäre, wie nun fortzufahren sei. Sofort antwortete sie: "die Wahrheit". Diesen Entschluss hatte ich jedoch schon längst gefasst und wollte ihn mehr bestätigt wissen. Zwickmühlenhaftigerweise hatte sie mir jedoch nicht gesagt, ob sie mich nun mochte, oder nicht.</p>
<p>Wenige Wochen später hatte ich mir einen "günstigen" Nachmittag heraus gesucht. Nachdem ich Daniela von der Arbeit abgeholt hatte, gingen wir gemeinsam am Fluss entlang. Dann hielt ich sie an, und sagte, ich müsse ihr eine Geschichte erzählen. Dann sagte ich ihr direkt, dass ich seit einiger Zeit in ihre eigene Schwester verliebt sei.</p>
<p>Erst konnte sie es nicht fassen. Sie stand regungslos da. Dann brach sie bald zusammen und fing an bitter zu weinen. Sie lief hin und her und ich hinter ihr her. Ich wusste, ich musste auf sie aufpassen, da sie sich sonst etwas antun würde. Ich hielt sie immer wieder fest und sagte ihr, dass ich sie liebe. Das ist und war die Wahrheit -- ich habe Daniela immer geliebt. Schließlich gelang es mir, sie zu überzeugen, dass wir nach Hause gehen müssten. Dort wollte sie zuerst unsere Wohnung nicht mehr betreten. Sie sagte, sie könne dort nie wieder rein. Ich blieb bei ihr und konnte sie später doch überzeugen, mit hinein zu gehen.</p>
<p>Nachdem sie einige Zeit geweint hatte, fragte sie mich entschlossen, was zwischen Leila und mir gewesen sei. Ich antwortete wahrheitsgemäß, dass wir uns ein paar Mal getroffen hatten, es jedoch nie zu längeren Umarmumgen oder mehr gekommen war. Sofort griff sie sich das Telefon und rief Leila an. Ich entfernte mich diskret, um sie nicht einzuschränken.</p>
<p>Endlose Minuten später kam sie zurück und sagte, sie sei beruhigt, dass ich die Wahrheit gesagt hätte. Und dass Leila nicht in mich verliebt sei. Sie würde mich wie einen größen Bruder betrachten. Das war eine gute und schlechte Nachricht zugleich für mich.</p>
<p>In den dann folgenden Wochen mussten wir hart an unserer Beziehung arbeiten. Wir beide waren oft nahe dran, den anderen, wenigstens zeitweise, zu verlassen. Wir sprachen uns gründlich aus und erörterten Schwachpunkte, die zu der Situation geführt haben könnten.</p>
<p>Insgesamt tat es unserer Beziehung sehr gut. Schon zuvor waren verschiedene Dinge eingeschlafen. Wir arbeiteten ehrlich und offen an unserer Beziehung und reparierten die grundlegend zerstörte Vertrauensbasis notdürftig. Mit Leila habe ich monatelang nur sehr spärlich kommuniziert. Sie sagte einmal, wir hätten alles geregelt und dass wir nun nicht weiter darüber reden sollten. Ich achtete diesen Wunsch.</p>
<p>Monate später dachte ich, die Verliebtheit wäre Vergangenheit. Ich sagte dies auch Daniela. Sie war natürlich erleichtert. Letztens schrieb ich im PS einer E-Mail auch Leila, dass ich "schon seit geraumer Zeit"  nicht mehr in sie verliebt sei.</p>
<p>Sicher bin ich mir damit nun doch nicht mehr. Ich habe kein Herzklopfen mehr, wenn wir zu Leila kommen. Aber zunehmend suche ich wieder nach Möglichkeiten, sie zu treffen. Ich weiß, dass ich ein menschliches Interesse an ihr habe: wir haben viele Gemeinsamkeiten. Ich mag sie sehr als Mensch. Doch anscheinend mag ich sie auch mehr als das. Zu dritt mit Daniela und Leila zu leben kann ich mir inzwischen nicht mehr vorstellen. Aber ist meine Zuneigung ihr gegenüber, die ich nach wie vor verspüre, normal, oder gerate ich wieder in diesen Strudel der Verliebtheit? Ich muss das verhindern! Aber will ich das? Was will ich wirklich?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.romavisibile.it/files/polizia%20di%20stato.jpg"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.romavisibile.it/files/polizia%20di%20stato.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="240" /></a>Io non sono molto amante della gente in divisa. Forse perché quando li vedo mi viene sempre in mente l'intro di una simpatica canzone degli Articolo 31, <a title="Luna Park Mentale" href="http://www.actionext.com/names_a/articolo_31_lyrics/edit_luna_park_mentale_feat_posi_argento.html">Luna Park Mentale</a>.</p>
<p>Ma per una volta, in questi tempi in cui la polizia è così malvista perché <a title="G8" href="http://www.ansa.it/site/notizie/awnplus/italia/news/2008-07-14_114252583.html">è riuscita a pestare, più o meno impunita, dei manifestanti</a>, io devo ringraziare con tutto il cuore un ispettore del quale non faccio il nome. Ma tu lo sai, chi sei.</p>
<p>Lo devo ringraziare perché è stato di parola. Mi aveva fatto una promessa, il 7 Maggio di quest'anno, nell'atrio del Pronto Soccorso dell'Ospedale Galliera, quando mi aveva chiamato fuori da una saletta chirurgica dove stavano dando una serie di punti al viso dell'Uomo Cinghiale, scampato miracolosamente ad un tentativo di omicidio ad opera di connazionali strafatti ed inferociti, incazzati neri perché non avevano trovato nelle sue tasche i tanti soldi che si erano sognati dovesse avere.</p>
<p>Quando mi aveva chiamato fuori, sono uscita tenendo in braccio Leila di 8 mesi che dormiva beata e non si era accorta di niente, e lui me lo aveva detto, che lo avrebbero preso. Che non sapeva quanto tempo ci avrebbe messo per trovarlo, ma che non se lo sarebbe fatto sfuggire anche perché aveva presente benissimo di chi si trattava. La settimana prima, lo stesso coglione s'era ingoiato di fronte a lui le palline di cocaina che avrebbe dovuto spacciare e s'era dato alla fuga. Tenendo in braccio sua figlia, che avrà un anno più di Leila.</p>
<p>Martedì sera ha mantenuto la promessa. Trovato e preso. Ci hanno avvertiti il giorno successivo. Oggi finalmente è passato per confermare; sono stata felicissima di vederlo e di poterlo ringraziare di persona.</p>
<p>Da oggi ho un po' più di fiducia nella Polizia.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems unbelievable, and every parent seems to find it astonishing watching their children grow, but this year more than any other I can't believe my child is turning eight years old. When she was born with Down Syndrome, in my post-natal haze I was sure she was going to become victim to SIDS, or at the very least be a baby for the rest of our lives.</p>
<p>Leila has made astounding gains for a child with Down Syndrome and autism this past year. I am very happy to report that my fears were unfounded. I watch this little girl do her yoga poses, rollerskate, and iceskate, and remember that I once wondered whether she would ever walk. There is plenty of things Leila can't do, just like there's plenty of things I can't do. Next Wednesday she will open her presents, for her happiest day of the year.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Of course this is all personal opinion, but I think the album art should go with the body of songs...wouldn't you agree? And seeing The Police recently and the way they used their album art during their performance only made it more obvious that the cover of your album/CD is as much a part of it as your music! Here are MY personal favorites!</p>
<p><strong>10. Beastie Boys - "Licensed To Ill"<br />
</strong><img src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B0000024JN.01._AA300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" alt="" /><br />
As famous for the flip side of the cover art as it is for the front. I remember being totally shocked and then amused by the fact that the flip side is that of the plane with it's nose crushed on the ground. Very cool!</p>
<p><strong>9. The Clash - "London Calling"<br />
</strong><img src="http://www.cyberdufus.com/images/music/clash_the-london_calling--big.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Quite possibly the most iconic rock photo on an album cover ever.</p>
<p><strong>8. Dave Matthews Band - "Under The Table And Dreaming"<br />
</strong><img src="http://www.progboard.com/graphx/covers/6153.jpg" alt="" /><br />
I wore this album out in the mid-90's and I still love the cover art. I have this love for sunsets and fairgrounds. Both are incorporated in this photo.</p>
<p><strong>8. Pink Floyd - "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason"<br />
</strong><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/id/f/f7/Lapse-l-300.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Just an interesting cover from an interesting band. I haven't decided what I think it means. Maybe that's why it's one of my favorites...it keeps me thinking!</p>
<p><strong>7. Lupe Fiasco - "Food &#38; Liquor"<br />
</strong><img src="http://img.tesco.com/pi/entertainment/CD/LF/722509_CD_L_F.jpg" alt="" /><br />
It's just street cool and screams hip hop. Perfect artwork for a brilliant artist of the genre.</p>
<p><strong>6. Jane's Addiction - "Nothing's Shocking"</strong><br />
<img src="http://blog.roodo.com/ziggy8/d227366d.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Weird and creepy and unique. In my college days, this photo graced the walls of the college radio station where I spent most of my days.</p>
<p><strong>5. Counting Crows - "Recovering The Satellites"<br />
</strong><img src="http://www.xponentialmusic.org/885/files/RecoveringTheSatellites.jpg" alt="" /><br />
The Crows always seem to have interesting artwork, but this is my personal favorite. The red font adds to the mystery of it.</p>
<p><strong>4. Drivin-N-Cryin - "Fly Me Courageous"<br />
</strong><img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CWKZ99PML._SL500_AA240_.jpg" alt="" /><br />
I would hang this album cover on my wall in a heartbeat. Cool, retro feel to it. Feels like it's a vintage poster with a modern twist.</p>
<p><strong>3. R.E.M. - "New Adventures In Hi-Fi"<br />
</strong><img src="http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/28.jpg" alt="" /><br />
I know, I know...what's so special about this cover? I don't know. But I'm mesmorized by it. I don't know if it's fact that maybe I've actually seen it? Can't figure it out, but I've liked it ever since I bought the album.</p>
<p><strong>2. The Gutter Twins - "Saturnalia"<br />
</strong><img src="http://www.rock-sound.net/upload/saturnalia300.jpg" alt="" /><br />
Desolate and scary. Whoever took this picture got exactly what he/she was looking for!</p>
<p><strong>1. Leila - "Blood, Looms And Blooms"<br />
</strong><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2017/2367203216_c08d5e940a_o.jpg" alt="" /><br />
This album cover is what got me thinking about this topic and it's just a really cool work of art. I don't know much about this artist, but this cover art made me want to listen! Arty and detailed, this could have been the cover to just about any album by Blue Oyster Cult or Kansas. But it's not. It's by Leila. Interesting music to say the least. Go check it on ITunes!</p>

<p>Album of the week is Beck's <em>Modern Guilt</em>. Both progression and regression from Mr Hansen, as he builds on the success of <em>Guero </em>and <em>The Information</em>, yet strips away many of the superfluous gimmicks that littered his mid-90s albums. Full review later on in the week, but definitely get your hands on this one. Adrian Thaws up next, as Tricky returns with <em>Knowle West Boy</em>. Whilst still not a return to the form of <em>Maxinquaye </em>and <em>Pre-Millennial Tension</em>, this is a marked improvement on 2003's <em>Vulnerable</em>. An improvement, despite a decidedly <em>unusual </em>cover of Kylie's <em>Slow</em>. Nevertheless, five years in the making, and a welcome return. Sounding at times like it was five minutes in the making, Black Kids' debut platter is something of a disappointment. Seemingly rush-released to consolidate their position after the success of single <em>I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend...</em>, this album comes across as unfinished and a bit half-arsed. Which is a shame because when the Floridians get it together, the result can be truly exciting.</p>

<p>Co-hosts of this winter's ATP Nightmare Before Christmas, Melvins trot out their 16th LP <em>Nude With Boots</em>. Still garnering influential fans, this is pretty much Melvins on auto-pilot. The last time I encountered Leila was within a booing Björk crowd, now new Warp-signee unleashes her third LP. I'm assuming I'm missing something here, or the record must be a grower, as up to now I'm not all that impressed. Ratatat's third record, on the other hand, is pretty obvious. Take it or leave it Justice-esque electro stomping.</p>

<p>Three varied releases make up our third tier this week, with some dance from creaking Eat Static, straight-up indie pop from Brooklyn's Cute Is What We Aim For and a third LP from folky-bluegrass types Crooked Still. The latter two are particularly enjoyable, even if <em>Rotation</em> has the projected lifespan of a mayfly.</p>

<p>Our last three releases throw up two surprises and one dreadful non-surprise. That comes in the form of Five O'Clock Heroes' second record <em>Speak Your Language</em>. Way back when, I quite enjoyed the <em>Time On Your Side </em>single, but the following album and recent godawful <em>Why </em>have destroyed any enthusiasm for this kind of turgid nonsense. The suprises are particularly good this week, our second Brooklyner, Todd Goldstein aka Arms providing the biggest. The record is some really sharp songwriter stuff, the highlight for me being the wonderful <em>Sad, Sad, Sad</em>. Fans of Bon Iver's debut will really enjoy this. And finally, the most bizzare concept of the week is Great Big Sea's continuing journey into rediscovering traditional Canadian folk songs and sea shanties. This is apparently their 9th release, and it is a record full of vim, a great blast of Newfoundland air.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://osaldalingua.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/leila.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-584 aligncenter" src="http://osaldalingua.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/leila.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Apesar de já ter feito sentir a sua presença no mundo da música electrónica com Courtesy of Choice, <a href="http://www.leilamusic.co.uk/">Leila</a> não é, de todo, das figuras mais prolíferas em termos de edição musical. Mas isto não significa que não se tenha mantido ocupada. Já produziu e participou em diversos discos de <a href="http://bjork.com/">Björk</a> e tem actualizado como DJ em diversas ocasiões. Neste momento, o seu DJ set está a fazer o aquecimento para os concertos de Björk em algumas datas da digressão de Volta.</p>
<p>Blood Looms And Blooms é um disco de talento puro, muito trabalhado e retocado. As estruturas musicais utilizadas por Leila não fora do vulgar, sendo que poucas vezes há espaço para estruturas que incluam refrões. A sonoridade é riquíssima, plena de originalidade nos instrumentos utilizados e os arranjos são surpreendentes em quase todos os temas. A isto acrescentam-se as boas participações especiais de <a href="http://terry-hall.com/">Terry Hall</a>, <a href="http://www.martinatopleybird.com/">Martina Topley-Bird</a>, Luca Santucci e Khemahl &#38; Thaon Richardson. Trata-se de um disco adulto, feito por quem passou muito tempo em mesas de produção e em mesas de mistura. A isto junte-se a dose devida de irreverência. Eis Blood Looms And Blooms.</p>
<p>Nota de Sal: 8/10<br />
Referências: Björk</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>L'été est bien là. Et si c'est la saison des festivals, les bacs à disques sont également à surveiller de très près puisque viennent de sortir des galettes incontournables. A déguster à l'heure de l'apéro, avec des olives et une bonne bière :  8-)</p>
<p>- <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Tricky</span></strong> : 'Knowle West Boy'</p>
<p>- <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Leila</strong></span> : 'Blood, Looms and Blooms'</p>
<p>- <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Unkle</strong></span> : 'More Stories-selected Unkle works' (+War Stories Instrumentals) 2cd</p>
<p>- <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Saul Williams</span></strong> : 'The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust !'</p>
<p>- <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Mary-Anne Hobbs</strong></span> : 'Evangeline'</p>
<p>- <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">DJ Spooky</span></strong> : 'Sound Unbound'</p>
<p>- <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Flying Lotus</span></strong> : 'Los Angeles'</p>
<p>- <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">The Black Angels</span></strong> : 'Directions to see a Ghost'</p>
<p>- <span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Aim</strong></span> : 'Cold Water Music' (1999-2007)</p>
<p>- <strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">The Herbaliser</span></strong> : 'Blow Your Headphones' (1997)</p>
<p> Après le nouvel album de Portishead, le "son de Bristol" est bien de retour avec un nouveau <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Tricky</strong></span> (et en espèrant prochainement celui de Massive Attack). Après avoir fondé un label et réalisé un film, <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Tricky</strong></span> propose avec <strong>'Knowle West Boy'</strong> la suite directe du précédent 'Vulnerable' (2003). Les guitares sont toujours présentes dans cet album punk aux racines jamaicaines, et les invités plus nombreux pour les <em>vocals</em>. Les morceaux sont courts, pas plus de 3 minutes. Le livret intérieur qui accompagne le cd est très sobre : feuillets jaunes, sans paroles ni détails de production, juste une photo noir et blanc au centre. Esthétique punk donc. L'essentiel est la musique. Celle de <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Tricky</strong></span>, musique anglaise métissée. On reconnaitra une reprise de Kylie Minogue, le superbe 'Slow', ici revue et corrigé à coup de six cordes électriques.</p>
<p>Avec <strong>'More Stories'</strong> (import), <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Unkle</strong></span> sort pour ses fans quelques inédits et remixes (de qualité variable) issus des sessions de 'War Stories'. Et dans un mois, ce sera le tour de <strong>'End Titles... Stories for Film'</strong>. Pas de nouvel album pour l'instant donc, mais quelques joyaux à découvrir.</p>
<p>L'animatrice et DJ <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Mary-Anne Hobbs </strong></span>sort une nouvelle compil' d'électro expérimentale, aux styles variés, et fidèle à l'esprit éclectique et exigeant de son émission hebdomadaire sur BBC1. On y retrouve, parmi les artistes les plus connus, Wiley (Big Dada/Ninja Tune) et Flying Lotus (Warp). <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Flying Lotus</strong></span> qui a d'ailleurs sorti le mois dernier un <strong>'Los Angeles'</strong> très séduisant, et que certains ont comparé à DJ Shadow. Mais alors un Shadow à la sauce Warp, label anglais qui livre dans un même élan d'excellence un nouvel album de la trop rare <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Leila</strong></span>, <strong>'Blood, Loom and Blooms'</strong>. <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>Leila</strong></span> s'est attachée les collaborations vocales de sa soeur Roya Arab, de Terry Hall, de Martina Topley-Bird et du toujours fidèle Luca Santucci. </p>
<p>Après l'Angleterre, jetons nos oreilles sur le continent américain. A New-York, le très productif et cultivé <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>DJ Spooky</strong></span> livre un <strong>'Sound Unbound'</strong> incroyable où il mixe art/littérature et musique/sons divers. Ainsi les voix de Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp, Allen Ginsberg... rencontrent-elles Aphex Twin, DJ Spooky, les Masters Musicians of Joujouka, Sonic Youth... On apprécie particulièrement le final qui réunit William S.Burroughs et Iggy Pop pour une incantation destinée à nous faire traverser l'empire des morts, <strong>'The Western Land'</strong>. De cette même contrée maudite, les Texans <span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong>The Black Angels</strong></span> ont eux sorti au printemps un second album, le bien psychédélique <strong>'Directions to see a Ghost'</strong>. A apprécier dès la nuit tombée, lorsque l'esprit se laisse aller au voyage. Mais pour redescendre sur terre, rien de tel que de pousser jusqu'à la côte ouest où <strong><span style="color:#3366ff;">Saul Williams</span></strong> s'est allié à <strong>Trent Reznor</strong> de <strong>Nine Inch Nails</strong> pour un <strong>'Niggy Tardust'</strong> énergique (clin d'oeil à Bowie+hip hop+rock industriel). L'album est dans un premier temps sorti l'hiver dernier en téléchargement libre sur internet. Il est à présent édité en cd et avec 5 titres en bonus. Gros gros son, comme par exemple la reprise fabuleuse du <strong>'Sunday Bloody Sunday'</strong> de U2.</p>
<p>L'été commence fort. "Pump Up the Volume !"</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes I just hate being an Australian.</p>
<p>The problem is that you can be fooled into thinking this country has got its shit together. We finally voted out a dangerously conservative loon who was happy to ignore UN reports about our country's laundry list of human rights abuses (they're only poofs and abos, John, why should we bother?). But instead of a seasoned political warrior with the balls to make a few prinicipled calls, even if they were unpopular, we got a preening media tart who does stupid shit like pass judgement on an exhibition he hasn't seen, ignores four departments' reports about how idiotic the Fuelwatch system will be, and thinks that mandatory ISP-level filtering is a good idea (oh, and if you disagree with him on free speech grounds, you're a paedophile supporter). Even so, I lived in hope, until I read this: <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/07/04/2294284.htm?section=australia" target="_blank">'Police investigate WYD queer kiss-in'</a>.<!--more--></p>
<p>So many things about this whole situation make me mad. Australia is, if you believe both Kevin Rudd and John Howard's rhetoric, a plurisecular liberal democracy committed to equal protection under the law, freedom of religion, and social tolerance. If that were the case, we wouldn't have police detectives calling up queer protest organisers for a quick chat about their World Youth Day plans, nor would people who wish to protest the many flaws of the Catholic church be faced with a fine of $5,500 for 'annoying or inconveniencing' a pilgrim.</p>
<p>In a plurisecular democracy, free speech is absolutely necessary. This doesn't mean that I take some Gadamerian notion of the 'universal conversation of mankind' as axiomatic, nor do I think that if we have proper free speech we'll all eventually get along really nicely. To be honest, free speech will probably create <em>less</em> social cohesion rather than more. But isn't this the point of the plurisecular democracy? All of this shit about tolerance and diversity doesn't work when that diversity (and the tolerance we're supposed to show to it) are subsumed under a broad totality of 'Australian values'. In a plurisecular democracy with free speech there'd be none of this rhetorical footwork to promote 'Australian values', precisely because there would be <em>no such thing as </em>Australian values. Instead, we would have a fractured plurality of social groups who have their own values and who are free to pursue their way of life if it doesn't interfere with other people's way of life.</p>
<p>Now, you may believe (as I do) that traditional forms of protest are often peurile and may, in fact, do more harm than good to a particular social cause. Although I think the kiss-in is still a valid tactic for queer protests, it won't continue to work if it's abused frequently (in this way it's like ellipses, italics, and exclamation points: <em>they ... lose ... their ... rhetorical ... effect ... if ... you ... abuse ... them!!! </em>Sorry, Tom Wolfe). You may even think (as I don't) that homosexuality is an illness, a sin, or a sign of moral degeneration. However, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't protect the rights of those who want to perform this kiss-in, because their right to loudly and proudly disagree with you is the exact same right that you have to loudly and proudly disagree with them. If you think that homosexuality is a sin, then by all means head down to the Mardi Gras and hand out pamphlets. Make big banners that say 'God Hates Fags' and 'AIDS: God's Way of Weeding His Garden'. I won't pretend that this is no skin off my nose: I find such things deeply offensive. But the moment we make offending others a criminal or civil offense with hefty fines attached, then we lose the basis of <em>dissensus</em> that is far more valuable than <em>consensus</em>.</p>
<p>You'll notice here that my position cuts across both the 'left' and 'right' of the political system. Lefties generally don't complain about restricting freedom of speech if it doesn't restrict the freedoms of the group <em>du jour</em>. Meanwhile the right pretend that they care deeply about freedom of speech, but, as in Orwell's book, some speech is freer than others (are the police going to hand $5,500 fines to the pilgrims who annoy me with their tacky scripture-quoting shirts?). There are those who think that certain things should never be said: holocaust denials, incitements to racist or homophobic violence, etc. These things are abhorrent indeed, but they only work if they are uttered in the context of a culture of moral buck-passing. No matter how much we might like to believe it, words don't kill people, people kill people. If you are so feeble-minded that you can go out and murder someone after hearing a preist say poofs are immoral, or after a guy in a silly hood tells you that God's plan for the white race is to kill all of the blacks, then you deserve to be locked up. And I don't oppose a police presence at the WYD: since there's likely to be conflicting groups in public venues at the same time, there should be a police presence to prevent people from inflicting or receiving harm. Yet they shouldn't be there to 'keep the peace'. We can only 'keep the peace' if we believe that disagreement is a bad thing in and of itself, which it isn't.</p>
<p>Sorry for that long rant. I'm about to head to Melbourne to deliver a paper on just these issues: gay identity and what Jean-François Lyotard calls the <em>différend</em> (I also throw in some Foucault, just for kicks). At least this news is timely. On that subject, time for music.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-19" src="http://chadparkhill.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/choegy.jpg?w=225" alt="" width="420" height="560" /></p>
<p>Tenzin Choegyal: 'Ta-La Shi Pa' (from <em>Big Happiness</em>)</p>
<p>I first met Tenzin Choegyal at the tender age of fourteen, when I was much less cynical and far more capable of being shocked by how nasty people can be to each other. I had wandered into the Australia Tibet Council tent at Woodford, and I think Choegyal (that's his first name: like in several other Asian cultures, in Tibet what we would call 'last names' come first) took pity on a dorky, gangly boy from the sticks. Anyway, we used to catch up every year at Woodford, then we became closer when I moved to Brisbane. After that we fell out of contact, as sometimes happens when both parties are busy. I caught up with him last week to interview him about a benefit he's organised for tonight at the Zoo, which I'll be going to. In preparation, here's one of the songs off his album <em>Big Happiness</em>, which demonstrates his stunning vocal range, even if the album itself wasn't terribly well-recorded. He's an amazing vocalist, and if you're a Brisbanite you owe it to yourself to hear the guy sing. Björk should pick him up and use him in <em>Medúlla II</em> or something.</p>
<p><a href="http://chadparkhill.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/leila.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-18 alignnone" src="http://chadparkhill.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/leila.jpg?w=300" alt="Leila - Blood Looms and Blooms" width="400" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>Leila: 'Mollie' (from <em>Blood Looms and Blooms</em>)</p>
<p>This is the opening track from one of the most surprising records I've heard this year. Just when you think you have this song's trip-hop formula worked out, it sucker-punches you with some glorious distortion like something out of a Growing album. Fantastic stuff, and if you like it you should definitely check out the rest of the album, which is just plain demented, right through to the minimalist arrhythmic cover of 'Norwegian Wood'.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://warpmart.com/images/content/releases/large/WARP167.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Leila’s <em>Blood, Looms and Blooms</em> is like an invocation to the senses – a hand that reaches out from the complex, gnarled roots adorning the album cover to pull you into the realms of playful imagination. Leila Arab’s debut for Warp, her first release in over seven years, excites in its lushness and challenges in its diversity. A measured, perfectly crafted progression from fantasy-like beginnings through to a deeper, darker midsection is Leila’s key achievement, managing to tie in a range of guest vocalists seamlessly across a range of styles.</p>
<p>No aesthetic seems too far fetched for Leila; ‘Teases Me’ evokes a soulful, seductive hymn as Luca Santucci’s vocal rides along waves of bass, twitters and cymbal sparks. Further on, jaunty ‘The Exotics’ lapses into a mini-operetta whilst the cover of ‘Norwegian Wood’ is rather excellent simply because it so cleverly subverts the original without removing the key to its familiarity. Terry Hall’s vocal at first sits oddly beside the whimsical seaside feel of ‘Time to Blow’ yet sounds intrinsically at home after repeated listens. ‘Mettle’ is perhaps the most obvious link to the swagger of her mid-90s trip-hop origins, drenched in clanging guitars and heavy acerbic bass.</p>
<p>Leila’s sound is so incredibly full – which is in part due to the exquisite production. Every nook and cranny of the aural space is filled to bursting with intense detail. It is there with the faint sound of a piano reverberating through an expansive hall on ‘Young Ones’, a yearning that lingers long after it is enveloped by a rowdy applause. Again it rears its head on ‘Mollie’ as tweaks and twinges whirl their way to an exquisite climax. Finally, the delicate duet by Martina Topley Bird and Terry Hall on ‘Why Should I’ brings <em>Blood, Looms and Blooms</em> to a close, and with it, an intense desire to revisit Leila’s fantasy world all over again.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.benettongroup.com/img/gallery/c10.jpg" alt="La neonata di Benetton" />Cara Khadija, che ancora non sei nata, ma mi fai il piacere di startene al posto tuo almeno fino alla fine di Agosto,</p>
<p>in questi giorni - magari è il caldo - ho la netta impressione che il quoziente intellettivo degli umani adulti di sesso femminile che brancolano nei posti che io frequento sia in calo... una cosa tipo la prima discesa delle montagne russe di Gardaland, per intenderci.</p>
<p>Quando aspettavo Leila, tutti mi dicevano: <em>che bello, una bambina!<br />
</em></p>
<p>Ora che stai per arrivare tu, i commenti spaziano da: <em>poverina! </em>(riferito a me), <em>eh va beh pazienza </em>(???), <em>oh peccato che non è un maschio</em>, <em>alla peggio si faranno compagnia </em>(???) eccetera eccetera. Non infieriamo ulteriormente.</p>
<p>Quando l'ho raccontato ieri alla nonna Marisa, mi ha fatto presente un commento da lei ricevuto da una conoscente quando si trovava in giro per Quinto con me e gli zii Claudio e Andrea nel passeggino: <em>Beh, meglio averne tre piuttosto che ne sia morto uno</em>. L'ha detto una donna. Si parla del 1975. Il decadimento cerebrale del genere femminile della specie umana, quindi, è in corso da almeno qualche generazione. Spero che almeno tu e Leila vi salverete.</p>
<p>Questo può farti capire il motivo per cui io, escluso un paio di persone, posso dire di non avere amiche.</p>
<p>Io vorrei capire perché una donna dice che non è bello avere una figlia. Chi lo sa mi risponda.</p>

<p>Oggi ho trovato per caso le statistiche delle ricerche. Verrà il giorno in cui saprò usare questo blog come si deve?</p>
<p>I<em> </em>ricercatori sono finiti su questo blog perché cercavano:</p>
<p>- <strong><em>Leila infermiera </em></strong>(magari, non è un brutto lavoro... se a 16 anni mio padre mi avesse dato il consenso, a quest'ora invece che la kebabbara/traduttrice farei anch'io l'infermiera)</p>
<p>- Una combinazione assortita di <strong><em>feto</em></strong>, <strong><em>feti</em></strong>, <strong><em>pancia</em></strong></p>
<p>- Altra combinazione assortita a base di <strong><em>Marocco</em></strong>, <strong><em>hammam </em></strong>e <strong><em>Casablanca</em></strong></p>
<p>- <strong><em>Come e dove fare il bitest a Roma</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>- </em></strong><em><strong>Cronache comiche</strong></em></p>
<p>- <strong><em>Immagine Leila </em></strong>(magari un giorno la posto, una sua foto...)</p>
<p>Qualcuno chiede: <strong><em>Leila è un bel nome? </em></strong>Tendenzialmente direi di sì, ma sono di parte!!!</p>
<p>Ricerche criptiche:</p>
<p><strong><em>percorso hammam+mestruazioni </em></strong>(scritto esattamente così!)</p>
<p><em><strong>6 mesi pancia che tira</strong></em></p>
<p>L'immancabile angolo del guardone:</p>
<p><strong><em>nud* hammam genova</em></strong></p>

<p>... che la fanno vomitare di notte, a spruzzo, tipo l'esorcista... Ma ce l'avete presente l'odore di latte rancido alle due di notte, con tutto il letto impregnato fino al materasso, da cambiare dalla testa ai piedi, e imbelinare in lavatrice, bambina compresa?</p>
<p>Roba che se una non ha le nausee da gravidanza le vengono?</p>
<p>Che bello, alzarsi di notte dopo aver sentito il tipico, indescrivibile rumore di "roba imprecisata in ebollizione", che zoppico come una che è stata gambizzata perché chi mi ha fatto l'epidurale quando sei nata ci ha messo 40 minuti e mi ha rovinato la schiena?</p>
<p>E tu che pesi 10 kg, un piccolo porchetto in pigiamino vomitato?</p>
<p>E tutto questo con tua sorella che mi balla la break dance nella pancia... E l'acidità di di stomaco che comincia già a farsi sentire! Roba che se non nasce tipo Bob Marley c'è da incazzarsi di brutto!!!</p>
<p>Si, ecco, se eviti di distruggermi il cellulare, però, è meglio...</p>

<p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;" src="http://b.imagehost.org/0550/leila_lopes.jpg" alt="" />O filme pornô estrelado pela atriz Leila Lopes, Pecados &#38; Tentações, já está em sua segunda leva, segundo informações da coluna Olá, do jornal Agora.</p>
<p>A primeira edição, porém, ainda nem foi lançada. Segundo a assessoria da produtora, a prensagem se esgotou na pré-venda oficial do site da Brasileirinhas.</p>
<p>O lançamento de Pecados &#38; Tentações estava previsto para esta quarta-feira, 18, mas foi adiado para o dia 25. No centro da cidade de São Paulo, porém, muitos camelôs vendem DVDs que dizem ser o filme, embora a produtora negue que ele tenha vazado.</p>
<p>Leila Lopes assinou contrato com a produtora Brasileirinhas após dias de especulação. Por estratégia da produtora, a atriz negou até que as fotos de capa foram destaque de uma revista do mercado adulto.</p>
