It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I am just fed up with nonsense comments on Carlos Castro death. The story has the right amount of ingredients to make big headlines: gay men, murder, luxury environments, and sadness. Police found the beaten and castrated naked body of a 65-year-old man in a luxury suite at the Intercontinental Hotel in Times Square, maybe on the first week of this month. He was laying face-up in a pool of blood inside his 34th-floor room. He was killed by the 20-year-old companion, model Renato Seabra, who confessed. Renato had been visiting New York with Castro. He was taken into police custody and admitted to Bellevue Hospital Center for a psychiatric evaluation. Castro had covered fashion and celebrities and was a well-known gay rights advocate. Seabra had recently been a finalist on a Portuguese reality show, “Face Model of the Year.” The details of Carlos Castro’s murder are shocking and gruesome. His burial was kind of pathetic and I honestly pity the man’s fortune. He had stated in his biography that he wanted his ashes to be scattered in Manhattan as he loved the city very much- New York was the city of his life, he said. So his sisters kneeled down and poured the ashes of their brother into the grate at W. 44th St. and Broadway as onlookers walked by. Gossip columnists are not into my favorite professionals. I do not read what they write. I disliked Castro very much not because he was gay but because what he did for a living. WTF! I do not care with whom he goes to bed. It was his personal life. Renato’s was a stranger to me. He was an aspiring model. Well, I do not dig models very much either! He must have a pretty screwed up sense of right and wrong. But humans can do the most impossible things! Now he’s facing a wasted life in an American jail. As a former lawyer, I think that this is a dramatic case that should be properly investigated by the authorities. Renato does not have enough money to get a proper defense and his mom is selling the house to pay for it. This woman must be living the most terrible days in her life. She is another victim. But he must face the consequences of his actions. Was he in love with Castro or just trying to profit on his social connections and wealth or both? Were they in a kind of honey moon? That is not of much importance to me. I just think that this is a very sad story.

It’s important that people realize that violent situations happen regardless of sexual orientation and that many times, the main target is women, not men. Can you guess how many women are killed for a year in Portugal by their mates, boyfriends, husbands or ex-husbands? 39 women were killed in 2010!

In Portuguese society, there is a deep-rooted homophobia feeling. I think that we saw it all over the internet following the media treatment of the Carlos Castro murder case. I just read pretty awful comments everywhere especially if one doesn’t need to sign bellow in comment boxes of blogs, portals, and online news sites.

Following these events, I was influenced to create Valentine postcards and gifts for straight, gay and lesbian persons. As I read somewhere Love is Love. We may not understand it, we may not agree with it but we should respect it. Consider this: make a list of persons you admire. Probably you’ll find that some of them are gay or lesbian (or bisexual). Does it change anything in the way you are moved by with they do?

My short list just to get you thinking: Cole Porter, Martina Navratilova, Jodie Foster, Stephen Fry, Alexander, The Great, Hans Christian Andersen, Freddy Mercury, Leonard Bernstein, Alec Guiness…See what I mean?

Christmas Season and Zazzle Greeting Cards you can buy online

Receiving Christmas Cards in my childhood was as good as getting presents. I loved to display it on a table. My mother probably told her friends and family that I enjoyed it very much. So I got cards from her friends as they always sent an extra card for me. Later I learned how to write and soon I was also sending cards. In my teenage years, an early celebration of Christmas started with an early visit to local shops to buy a small pile of cards at the beginning of the month of December. As a result of it I have a huge collection of cards and still love to receive it, send it and create it.

At Zazzle.com it's possible to upload our designs and sell them. Last year I sold my first Zazzle Christmas Postcard. It was a great feeling! Today I create Christmas cards and spent a lot of time enjoying other Zazzle creators' work too. I hope you like this special Christmas feature. I'll be showing a lot of Christmas cards in the next weeks!!

 

It's hard to pick just one, they are all great, I know. But I am sure that most people have more than just one friend. The secret is to pick the right Christmas Postcard to each friend. Zazzle artists create so many different cards that we can find the perfect one! And we can do it online, it's really easy!

Instead of paper cards, many send electronic Christmas card. Making and sending a virtual Christmas card is easy and the normal thing to do for generations raised without handwritten letters. We just pick a site and follow the instructions at each step. Not very creative but with animation and sound E-cards are a lot of fun. Recent concern over the environmental impact of printing, mailing and delivering cards has fueled an increase in e-cards choice.


These are not e-cards! I Handpicked each at Zazzle.com! It took me ages!! I am all for paper cards tradition...still! These are paper and irresistible. And you can buy it if you want. Click and follow instructions.
