And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"

A modern-day Lilith is seen lurking in a merlot red spotlight, admiring and tracing her every step. We can only assume that after a hard day’s work, its the immortality provides eternal beauty, enhanced by Artemida Arizi on Hair & Make Up.

A person of triumph would define the true meaning of success coming not from the figures on your bank statement, but within the impossible task of maintaining equilibrium of all aspects of your life, as opposed to being owned or burdened by them. Martina Businaro represents the fierce power that radiates through the looks she serves that do not falter, styled by Samuele Di Rocco, Rebecca Daelli, Giulia Predieri and Martina Camponesco on Production Assistance. With the help of Riccardo Ferrato, we see a glimpse into the intimate downtime of a succubus; whether she shouts into the ether to release the midweek pent-up tension, or lounges sensually with Marco Vinci looks.

Absolute viability is both blessing and a curse; through blood, sweat and tears, you are rewarded with the ability to feel invincible. And perhaps that is true. But mediating between working hard and revitalisation, there is hardly any room for anyone else. Sometimes, It is lonely at the top, and what probably feels like the longest day of the year you’re left wondering, “Oh my god, am I here all alone?”.
