  1. I have to ask this question again - WHO is Max???
    I know a guy named Max, living in Milano, born in March - but 1967, 16th of March actually. A womanizer tbh - does this qualify for a mischief??

  2. Honestly I don't know, the Max I know is a very sweet guy. I probably didn't answer your question, but if you want to ask again...

  3. Thanks for replying, Linda! Sorry for my question - sure it's just some awkward coincidence, there is so many Max on this earth. And by the way, this one I was thinking about - well, his name is not even Max, it's Massimiliano.
    But I'm still curious - who's Max on your plaque?
    I thought about the song Max by Paolo Conte maybe? but no, can't be - no little wide things there, no mischiefs neither...
    (but hey - Massimiliano is a sweet, it's his trade mark. toxic sweet tho. )
    Anyways - I like your little things very much, they are romantic! And touching too, like pieces of dreams or something! Keep doing them!

    cheers!
