  1. I was on holiday in Argentina when, one day in a chilly winter’s night something weird happened at my home, a burglar in the midnight broke into my house and he started looking for stuff, even the cheapest. When he had his bag full of stuff that he could sell, he also thought in steal my food because I had my refrigerator full of delicious food, but there was not any place to put more things, so the burglar thought: “stomach full, happy heart”, and sat in the table to start to eat everything; first he ate bread and cheese, but his mouth and throat were dry so he remembered that I had a good wine. The burglar drank the first bottle; however it was not enough, so he drank the second one. When he stood up he realize that he was drunk and sleepy, so he had two possibilities walk drunk with the heavy bag or sleep few minutes and recover himself, so he chose the second option and he went to sleep to my bed.
    My neighbor, who lives next to me, listened to some noises and he called to the police. When they caught the burglar, he was still sleeping and very drunk.

Consequently, in this moment she realized that she was not a young and beautiful woman anymore.
    Owing to her big proud, she refused to accept the reality, that means her own reality, and she ordered to the painter getting rid of the portrait and make a new one, but this time she gave clear instructions to the painter about how she really wanted it.

  8. The Truth.

    Lady Prentiss was a member of a wealthy and powerful family. She was a veteran socialite and business tycoon, with an obsession for status and beauty, which she had enjoyed all of her life.
    One day at the park she met a young painter doing portraits of the people who passed by, but none of those people took the portraits with them after seeing them finished, leaving the painter full of wasted pieces of paper and no money. After seeing a couple of them, Lady Prentiss was baffled at the fact that nobody would take them: they were perfect, they even looked alive, and she fell in love with the young man's talent and mastery right there, deciding that she would be first person to take a portrait for him to display at her house, and asked for the young man's card.
    A couple of days before their meeting, Lady Prentiss looked at herself in the mirror, she was royal, elegant and beautiful; not even the passing of time had managed to take away an inch of her beauty, in her own eyes. Lady Prentiss called the young man and decided to visit him two days later.
    The day of the meeting Lady Prentiss was very nervous, although she had said to herself that she was the same woman she was years ago, she knew that she was now and old person, that her beauty had mostly vanished, and most of all, that she was frail and weak, but she trusted that the young man would see the real her, the one she felt she was on the inside.
    She nervously sat and let the man do his work, while she hoped that the final piece would be as beautiful as the portraits she saw at the park, However, when the young man showed her the finished piece, she was extremely and unpleasantly surprised at a painting that portrayed a dignified, scared and humble lady, one who could almost transmit her frailness and internal warmth, the artist had managed to portray her real self, but Lady Prentiss was only able to see an old wench with no external beauty, full of wrinkles and grey hair, and refused to look at it a minute longer, becoming one of the same people she couldn't understand at the beginning.
    She immediately ordered the man to destroy the portrait and create a new one; otherwise he would never be able to even paint houses for a living, she also gave him strict orders on how to proceed on the making of new portrait and didn't even looked at the young man's face.
    When the new portrait was finished, Lady Prentiss was delighted with the new results and pay him a considerable amount of money to a sad looking man. Lady Prentiss could now see the young man's talent, and decided that he had just made a mistake with the first one. Indeed, the second painting showed what Lady Prentiss wanted to show to the world, a beautiful woman, the proper image of a wealthy tycoon, but what Lady Prentiss could not see, was the sad and bitter expression on the new woman's face, an exact replica of what she had become.
    But what did she care? She would forever be seen, as a beautiful, young and elegant woman.

My aunt was shocked, no one in her life told her that, in fact she never was sweet with anyone in the family. “Do I have to look like a cake?” Asked her with innocent. “No!” He exclaimed: “You only have to be yourself, show me the best of you so I can paint a real idea of you”
    My aunt put a horrible face, she frowned with energy and grimaced of hate. The painter was in shock with that face. Nevertheless he started to paint my aunt with as much detail as possible.

    After five hours of hard working, he finished and showed us the final result. When my aunt saw the picture, she did a deep breath and look at the picture as wondering something. After that, she looked at the man a said: “so, this is how I look? This is the image that the people have of me?” The painter did not understand that question , so answered with a simple yes. My aunt put the picture in a trunk a left the room downcast and in complete silence.

  15. Granny's paint

    Grandma has always been super vain. In fact, has a large mirror,and a cabinet full of creams and makeup in his room. She always wanted that her granddaughters and grandsons (and also her great-grandchildren and future generations) will appreciate the splendor of her beauty.

    As she always wanted to left her "beautiful" image in a painting, I got the address of a famous French painter who lived two blocks from my house. When I handed the card to my grandmother, she looked suspicious ... but agreed and called the painter.

    When the painter came to the house, grandma started immediatly the session. After several minutes sitting as a model, she wanted to see what the artist was doing, but the artist insisted that she wait until the end. when he finished painting, he showed it to Grandma but she got upset, turned around and went out, because the picture showed her as a "little old lady with no life," she said.

    I convinced her to go again, but now I had spoken to the painter to paint my grandmother a few years younger. When the grandmother returned, still anxious to see how she was being painted. The artist insisted that she did not see the job until the end. The grandmother sat back disgusted.
    When she saw her portrait done, Grandma was excited and giving a strong look to the painter, paid a lot of money, I do not know how much, but it was much more than the money agreed.
    As always, Grandma got what she wanted and her portrait, until this day remains in the dining room, waiting for generation after generation to appreciate what once was her beauty.

  20. Dear Frustrated Superstar.

    Nerina is a lady in her early seventies. She lives alone in a big house near a river in a very conservative country. She often goes downtown to buy some weird stuff like horse tails and red flags with stars on it. One day she was window-shopping when she saw a painting studio, she had the best idea ever, she would get a portrait of herself, then she could hang it on one of the big walls of her house. Full of conviction and foward she stepped into the painting studio and started wandering around looking for the owner of the studio, as she was walking around she was able to take a look of the paint that were there, pretty old ladies, big and entires family were painted there, some creepy landscapes and twisted still life paintings. She started to doubt if the painter was really able to capture all her majesty.

    Suddenly a men broke into the rom, he was about fourty and dressed kind of messy, he didn't look strange or weird at all, like his paintings were. Nerina started babbling trying to get words toghether, she wasn't used to talk with other people, she lives alone on her house and she barely talks with the sellers at stores. She asked the painter to portarit her, she wanted a detailed work, she would pay any price, as long as she got what she really wanted, a perfect portrait. The painter accepted to do the work, he promised to do his best. Right away he started to work, he first asked Nerina to sit on a big couch located at the back of the studio, took out his tools and started to draw Nerina's countenance. It took about 3 hours to paint the portrait, the painter wast fast and accurate, every line was perfectly drawn. Nerina was excited and eager to see her portrait, she couln't wait anylonger to see her beautiful face embodied into a linen. Unfortunate was her surprise when she realized the woman that was in the portrait wasn't her at all. She yelled at the painter and ordered to fix it, to make it look as she really was, she will come back the next day ti pick up the protrait, and if the painter wanted the money, this was going to be ready by that time. She wasn't that old, she wasn't that ugly, she didn't know why the portrait was it. Nerina made her way home, muttering and mumbling all the way long.

    The next day, Nerina woke up early and hurried to the painting studio, she was hoping this time the painter wasn't going to make her lose her time. This time, she knocked first, she was curious to get in, because she already knew the place now. The painter took her to the same place shw was sat the day before, the paiting was covered with a dirty cloth which was rised by the painter, revealing the portrait. Nerina was amazed, a young and beautiful woman was drawn in there, she was extremely happy, she hand out the money to the painter and leave the studio with her portrait.

    The painter was dizzy with this whole situation,he couln'd belive how pretencious a person could be.

    Nerina got home and hung the painting in the hall, she stared at it long time, she was happy. She thought that his dead housband would be very happy seing her just like Nerina was when he died. A tear made his road on Nerina's cheek, it was the first time she cried about her dead housband.

    -"We should call the police first"
    Kenny answered him:
    -"We should, but we won't do it, I want a very good explication from this guy".

    So, we woke up the guy and before to begging punch him we asked why he was there and why he was asleep. The guy answered:
    -"pardon je suis français et suis ivre"
    I shouted at him:
    -"What!? speak in english! or I will kill you!"
    He continued saying the same thing. Of course my friend Kenny loved idioms and he said:
    -"He is French and he es drunk..."
    After a couple of words between Kenny and the french guy, Kenny came to us and told us why the guy was there.
    -"Right, this guy was drank and came into the house looking for more drinks, so he looked for all the house causing a mess. After that he went to the fridge and found our champagne and drunk all of it. He felt sleepy and went to the bedrooms lookeing for the best bed to take a rest, unfortunately he felt asleep and then we arrived"

    When we turned back to look for the man, he was already jumping through the window and running away. Oh, I really hate those guys...
