Last night, watishista Rose gifted me with this shot of Pipa reportedly from an upcoming Napoli calendar which is, obviously, a must have now. I’ve been laughing hysterically ever since.
Upon viewing this, Shigs said “Is she thinking about plucking his eyebrows with those chopsticks? Because if so, she’s gonna be there all night.” I don’t think that’s the kind of “all night long” Mr. Hola Bonita was hoping for. Also those trousers? Not flattering. And don’t get me started on the floral shirt. But in the context of this picture, it’s all perfect. Brilliant, even. I WOULD NOT CHANGE A THING.
While looking for more evidence of this Napoli calendar, I came upon the work of talented art student Fabio Di Corleto. He did some vector portraits of Napoli players that are terrific. Check out his whole portfolio here.

It was great meeting up with Rose and realmadridlookbook at the Lilian Thuram lecture last night. They joined our merry crew which included me, Shigs, Mandi & forzasusan. Unfortunately, we missed connecting with Manie & @callejonshair. Next time! I think I may need to organize some sort of NYC get together in the new year. It would be really fun to meet more of you.
I’m looking at that Pipita picture again and it truly is the gift that keeps giving. I may be more in love with it than I was the first time I saw it. It’s…magic.
UPDATED: Watishista Maria Rosaria kindly posted the video teaser for the calendar. I need to get my hands on this thing!

OMG!!! This is just amazing! I’m sitting here laughing my head off. Only Pipa I swear!
OMG! He looks like he’s getting ready to be a nude sushi model!
You see? We’re treating him like our little emperor! I have another picture to show you. I just have to find a way how to…
This is the official SSC Napoli 2014 calendar and, as you can guess, it’s going to be the best of the series (because Calleti, Raul and Gonzalo are hard core drooling material and you know about that). We cannot wait for it to be at the newsagent’s and I’m afraid we’ll have to book it in advance in order to make sure to set our hands on it.
As in the previous years, there will be also a backstage video (and I can’t even think about it, I’m going to faint, oh my).
can you see it?
Yes, I can – that’s awesome!
hahhahahhahahha, I knew you would say that (there’s also Pepe :D)
A couple years back I got a calender of the Uruguayan team… very lovely.
Well, I can find nothing to fault with the picture. Pure fantasy! He would
have made a great sultan. Now, can we see Calleti and Raul?
Have a look at the calendar teaser
LOVE IT! Thanks so much for posting that. 🙂
Thanks for the special mention ;D. Anyhow, what you needed was a Neapolitan buddy “in the zone”, say it isn’t so. Hahaha
PS: are you based in the USA?
Oh, if you want to keep us up to date on all the Napoli goodness, we’d be most appreciative.
I live in NYC and Maisougio lives in the Detroit area.
mmhhh, that’s interesting. I’d say I just accepted the challenge 😀
this is from last year, it’s just to give you an idea of what you should be afraid of.. as it’s coming
and, did you know we have one of the best looking shop assistants EVAR?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niggvL6DBK0
Oh em gee 😀
Only Pipita can rock the “Hola Bonita”/nude sushi model look
Shigs, your comment was hilarious!
OMG IS IT REAL?!?!?! If it is I think i am getting it for holidays
Several on my list will want this. Orrrrr, the French calendar with naked olivier giroud. Indeed we live in a golden age of baller objectification.
It is SO real. I’m freaking out at the possibility of owning this bit of fabulousness!
Thank you guys for the heads up about the event! It was so awesome to finally meet you guys, I really hope do hope we manage to have a get together for everyone!
And Real totally needs one of these calendars! haha.
though i can see any of them doing it, the pipita unbuttoned shirt/being fed sushi pose feels very sergio.
Is Real Madrid’s calendar page after page of thumbs up?
