AN URGENT CALLOUT TO MY NETWORK:

Looking for recommendations for any EU-based doctor who can issue a letter that allows me to leave a university course for health reasons.

So- it's official. I am starting my "new" journey, another step towards realizing the vision I had in 1999. Vitruvian Vision NGO, in this form, will be liquidated end of August- and I am moving abroad to study Deep Tech Entrepreneurship. (Focus on AI- what else;)

All my projects since then were based on similar concepts, all were intended to be all-inclusive (at least for friendly humans), and all are meant to help people develop their best (TRUE) self.

Since around the mid 2000s I knew I needed big data- so when a very basic ChatGPT came out end of 2022, me and a graphic design intern from La Sapienza instantly built a small scale, superficial version of my big dream with the help of AI beginning of 2023.

The test system worked, and was copyrighted instantly.

The goal abroad now will be to make it universally approachable, blow it up, and create a product that helps people grow in positive ways.

The Sophisticated Geek will also be closed in autumn. The Sophisticated Geek facebook site, since I was also finally offered a blue check mark, will remain, and be renamed to Purpose Led PR. (I had intended to finance myself through giving PR Workshops during my studies, which was- at least temporarily- thwarted by another evil s**t of a person intervening on my path- this time a bad educator)

The Vitruvian Vision facebook site will be left open- no idea as yet what I am gonna do with you guys as yet.

Feel free to join the Sophisticated Geek site if you want to.

Have a great summer! :)

Audrey Hepburn once said the only reason she survived childhood was because N***s didn’t find her interesting enough.
Before she was the face of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, she was a barefoot teenager carrying resistance messages in her shoes — dodging checkpoints in Nazi-occupied Holland.
Born in Belgium, raised in the Netherlands during WWII, Audrey’s earliest role was that of a survivor. Her family’s food ran out. Her uncle was executed. Her brother was sent to a labor camp. She watched friends vanish. She hid from German patrols in cellars and learned to make hunger look normal. Ballet was her escape — a silent rebellion. She danced for underground fundraisers, never smiling, always listening for boots on the stairs.
When the war ended, she didn’t become an actress because she craved attention. She became one because she’d already lived through enough real drama. Her grace wasn’t trained — it was earned.
Audrey’s rise in Hollywood was swift. Roman Holiday, Sabrina, Funny Face — she became the rare icon who didn’t seduce the camera, she disarmed it. Her thin frame, so often imitated, came from years of war-induced malnutrition. Her eyes carried shadows she never advertised. Her elegance? Not a performance — a coping mechanism.
But fame didn’t make her fragile. It made her choosey. She turned down roles that didn’t align with her values. She wasn’t interested in being the s*x symbol of the week — she wanted substance, truth, and quiet control.
In the 1980s, at the height of her legend, she walked away from movies to serve as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. She visited war zones, held starving children, and gave speeches with the same poise she once reserved for red carpets. She didn’t just lend her face — she gave her time, her voice, her heart.
Audrey Hepburn was not delicate. She was durable.
Under the Givenchy gowns and pearls lived a girl who had once watched the world fall apart — and made it her mission to stitch a little of it back together.
So why do we still reduce her to a little black dress… when she was, in truth, the definition of unshakable grace under fire?

Samantha Fox was 15 when men twice her age started treating her like public property. By 18, her body was on billboards. But what they didn’t see—what they never cared to see—was that she was already plotting her escape.
In 1983, The Sun made her a Page 3 star. Overnight, Samantha Fox became the poster girl of Britain’s tabloid era—smiling, blonde, topless, and barely legal. But while headlines praised her curves, behind the scenes she was still a teenager doing homework between photo shoots, writing songs in secret, and asking: Is this really all they think I’m good for?
She didn’t wait for permission. At 20, she ditched modeling to chase the one thing that had always been hers—music. Her debut single exploded. Touch Me (I Want Your Body) wasn’t just a hit—it was a rebellion. It was Sam reclaiming what the tabloids had taken: control over how she moved, sounded, and was seen.
But even then, the industry didn’t make space for her. Producers told her to play dumb. Executives wanted her to stay soft, small, safe. She refused. She picked her songs. Built her brand. Toured the world. And through it all, she kept one thing locked away: her truth.
In 2003, she came out publicly, introducing her longtime partner, Myra Stratton. It was quiet, powerful, and completely hers. “The reason I kept it private,” she later said, “was because I was scared of losing everything.”
And yet—what she gained was herself.
Today, Samantha Fox isn’t a punchline or a pin-up. She’s a survivor of the spotlight, of misogyny, of grief. A woman who took what tried to define her and turned it into fuel.
What if the most radical thing a woman can do isn’t reinvent herself—but reveal who she’s been all along?

Diana Rigg once slapped a director so hard, the entire set went silent.
It wasn’t in the script. It wasn’t even during a scene. But he’d made a lewd remark — loud enough for the crew to hear — and Diana, without flinching, delivered the kind of slap that leaves more than a sting. Then she walked off set. No yelling. No apology. Just elegance and fury in equal measure.
That was Rigg. Feminine, yes. But never docile.
Long before Game of Thrones crowned her the Queen of Thorns, she was cracking jaws (and gender norms) as Emma Peel — the leather-clad, judo-flipping spy who redefined what a woman could be on television. But what the cameras didn’t show was the quiet rebellion beneath the eyeliner. Rigg insisted on equal pay. She called out chauvinism on set. She mocked the industry that tried to box her into corsets and side roles.
When she left The Avengers, it wasn’t for a bigger paycheck — it was for dignity. “I’m not going to play a puppet,” she once said.
But she paid a price. Roles dried up. Critics called her “difficult.” In truth, she was just honest.
Later in life, she reinvented herself as a stage legend — commanding Shakespeare one night and roasting Lannisters the next. And even as her health declined, she showed up. Sharp-tongued. Flawless. Fierce.
Diana Rigg didn’t just survive the boys’ club. She smirked at it, stole the spotlight, and poured a drink.
🕊 How many women were branded “difficult” simply for demanding the respect men received by default?

That would TOTALLY be me. Animals always seek me out. Mosquitoes too, unfortunately. 😆

She teamed up with composer George Antheil to develop the idea, using principles from player-piano rolls to switch frequencies in sync. In 1941, they were granted U.S. Patent No. 2,292,387—but the Navy shelved it, citing impracticality. Only in the 1960s did the concept reemerge in military applications.

What’s even more striking? Lamarr never earned a cent from the invention during her lifetime. It wasn’t until the late 1990s that she finally received recognition for her contribution to modern tech. Today, she’s remembered not only as a screen legend—but as a trailblazer in science and innovation.

The only monument at The Woodlawn Cemetery & Conservancy that overtly memorializes gay love is Patricia Cronin's sculpture “Memorial to a Marriage," which pictures the artist and her life partner and fellow artist Deborah Kass in a loving embrace. The work was installed in marble in 2002 before same-s*x marriage was legal.
