With all the things I do and I have to do, last nigth I realized that it was already the day of release of the 50th anniversary edition of Rough Trade's "intimate history" by Neil Taylor, with a foreword by Morrissey written in Sicily in 2025. I am so pleased that Morrissey has found my beloved and missed Sicily an inspiring place for writing his foreword, and I am not surprised that he does not mention Catania: he did the same in his post about the 2025 European Tour, where

Last day of school, but I cannot Throw their homework onto the fire A boring Friday is expecting me, and How I wish I were abroad, in the Country Where the buck-toothed girl comes from I will be strong and patient tomorrow And I will wish you, as always, all the best (Let your Inner Sun shine, Silver Boy!)

Thank you, Morrissey, for putting a bit of sun through the rain at night, in the City of Stone and Steel. A new single from the album Make-up is a Lie is coming in ten days: Amazona , cover of the 1973 song by Roxy Music. The whole post is on Morrissey Central (see the first link above) and a snippet of the cover by Morrissey is on YouTube (see the second link above) et it would have been cool if the photo by Ryan Lowry illustrating Morrissey's post was also used on YouTub

Bluebird of Happiness. I'll soon return to Paris because I am not on holidays yet, but how I would love to be in Frankfurt tomorrow... It was such a joy to see Morrissey arriving at the Sporthalle greeting, bowing and smiling at us, and pleased to see a Perfect Blue bird of Happiness on his left eyebrow. It was quite strange and a bit funny to see Morrissey from above, like he sees us from the stage; I would have loved to see him nearer, but we were twenty people or more an

Picture taken by me in Hambourg, today. Two years ago I wrote an article about Saint Valentine . This tiny, beautiful german dog perfectly illustrates what True Love is, whether you are a human being or another kind of animal living on Earth.

See You soon in Hamburg and in some other Countries.

Thank you, Morrissey, for confirming I was right, because I knew, I knew, I knew that you were and are still here in Paris. Picture taken by me... if only! I am joking, of course, but I know It's gonna happen Someday . Article by me, post from Morrissey Central with a picture of Morrissey taken today by an Unknown Creature near Notre-Dame of Paris . After Make-up is a Lie , released last month, the new single Notre-Dame is released today. Vera da Pozzo Paris, 6th February 2

Drawing made by me this afternoon, after having worked with my pals on our next cabaret show, which will take place in May. The model for my homage to this great writer and feminist is a lovely picture with her father, Leslie Stephen, taken in 1902 , when Virginia was twenty years old and her father was in his seventieth year.

Waiting for the end of the Murder that is Meat production and consummation, the UK has banned the cruel transport of living animals. Below, the post on Morrissey Central about this good news . These things take time, but... I know it's gonna happen someday. There are lesser and lesser carnivores, while the number of vegans and vegetarians constantly increases. Can you find the song quotes I put in my little post? Vera da Pozzo Paris, 24th January A. D. MMXXVI (C) Vera da Poz

As I am going to work, I have just the time to post my favourite artwork inspired by Saint Sebastian: the stunningly beautiful picture by the great Renaissance painter Antonello from Messina. I was a very young and extremely curious child who found the best nourishment in books, art and music, and I have always been fascinated by the iconography of Saint Sebastian, and Antonello's masterwork is my favourite because of Sebastian's stoic expression of resignation and His inner

I have just found on YouTube an interesting video about the music composed by Camila Grey for the new Morrissey's single and album title-track Make-up is a Lie . Thanks to Alex from Morrissey Unofficial Videos for posting on YouTube his collab with Sam from @theironbridge who is on IG, because, as I do not want IG & Co. , I cannot see his contents. I am not sure about who the Poet is (the hypothesis about Gertrude Stein do not convince me) and, by the way. I do not think M
