Laura E. Swan September 24, 2010

I consider Flavio one of the GREATS on BP. What a treat is must have been to venture Rome with such a professional! In my early days on BP our paths crossed and I was honored that they did.

Patti, this image speaks so loudly of a man, of a person, who is free. Free to be what he wants to be and free to express himself. GOTTA LOVE THE FINGERNAIL POLISH! I love him even more after seeing that! HA!

Great encounter and job on this!!!

BRAVO!

-Laura :D #8926632

Lorna Shutter September 24, 2010

Unlike Danny, I love this guy's plaid pants! Can't say I care much for the top though ... and definitely not on him!
