the one with bella mafia dreams
she has always been intrigued by mobsters. not your neighbourhood 369 bengs but the gun toting, expensive suits, slicked back hair, male dominated world of mafia. italians, russians, columbians, latinos, asian americans, they fascinate her greatly and it certainly doesn't help when pop culture made them so very very intriguing.she got hooked on The Godfather when she watched the Francis Ford Coppola series with the father as a kid.
she fantasised marrying lucky luciano during her pre teen days after michael karbelnikoff's mobsters.
she turned realistic and fantasised about asian mobsters in Young and Dangerous
anti-society, anti-conformity, anti-heroes, exciting sinister lives, respect and power, art of organised crime, fascinating conspiracies and the stinking world of endless dirt money. hey...doesn't that sound like lucifer's world? dark and sinful but draws you like a moth to a flame.
then again, a fantasy's a fantasy cos she found herself overwhelmed and freaked out by the language barrier in st petersburg, so how the hell can she find enough guts to visit an emerging columbia now?
sigh.
