Carolyn, you speak English because it’s the only language you know. Cinzia speaks English because it’s the only language YOU know. You’re not the same
I think at least once a week about Sophia Loren.
She’s my It girl, ethereal, beautiful, charming, and very sweet. That golden dress is what I think a real goddess would wear
So cute they were holding hands with the kids at the wedding too

Beautiful gowns. Gorgeous gowns but they were lowkey xenophobic about Italian people and that's a case that doesn't sit right with me (and my Italian immigrant ancestors fr)
