Inter-ness: Pupi Foundation’s 11th birthday party
(“I would like to introduce Stram’s fat older brother on drums.”)
Javier Zanetti’s charitable foundation is 11 years old. Inter (or its South American contingent and Deki, anyway) had a bit of a do.
Javi bravely fought back his terror of potential hair-touching to have his photo taken with the fans.
BAM. BEDY MORATTI. (Lay off the tanning on your chest, luv.)
Shall I pretend to know what’s going on here?
Anyway, IRC came with his gorgeous wife, while Wu came with...
...Jonathan. Ouch. (Or maybe his partner is that amazing woman in the background? A vast improvement.)
Fredy was amused by Wu’s plight.
Deki, meanwhile, was so beardy I thought he was a random fan posing with Deki’s wife. Hey, it could happen.
And I thought that bloke on the right was Fabio Grosso :/ Palacio has lousy taste.
Pereira, extremely wisely, sat next to Hamsik’s sister/Gargano’s wife so he could pretend he was going out with her. (LOL THE RED STRING. One day I’ll find out what that thing signifies...)
Oh, look, the footballers pair up by apparent brainpower.
See? (Not sure I’ve ever seen Gargano look quite so cross-eyed. Also, is everyone being more devout than usual for the occasion? Javi’s got a saints bracelet on, too.)
Emphasis on eyes OR lips, Stram’s gf, not both! (Oh, hi, Stram. You dress like my doctor.)
Fredy is confident he’s sexier than Deki. Martha is quite convinced his V-for-victory bird is laughing at him.
Milito’s gf (I assume) was enjoying the evening...
...until she began to suspect his affections lay elsewhere. (IRC seems intrigued.)
I ship it.
Oh. Er, hello, Paula. Ahem. (Or maybe she can just join in...)
Right, let’s give her the spotlight.
Massimo Moratti’s naked high-wire act was always impressive.
And now for the singing! (Since you can’t take Pupi anywhere near a microphone and expect him not to do that.)
All the musicians appear to be laughing at him. Is it wise to mock a man whose muscles distort his trousers like that?
And now, BABIES! (Bet Deki’s off at the face-painting tent. It’s a good thing Matrix didn’t come.)
Child doubles as handy spinach-removing device.
Daaaahhhhhhhhhhh. <3
(Also, if you haven’t seen Pupi’s hilarious interviews, go and read them.
“My family want me to keep going - they don't want me around the house.”
“”If Inter win the Scudetto, I’ll let the fans mess my hair up!” [Note: I do not believe this for a second.]
“My parents passed these traits on to me.” [I really want to see his mum’s thighs now.]
“Cuchu will become a coach for sure.” [You don’t say.]
“In 10 or 15 years' time, when he quits playing…”)
