Many coincide that BIRTH is the origin, beginning or formation of something. From Its inception COMETOISLAND.BLOGSPOT.COM has made an unfathomable mark on both its consumers and with no doubt the FASHION BLOGGING Industry. I am proud to be a contributor to ISLAND's blog as an editor,  promoter and simply someone that takes time to read all the stories. I am still glued to my chair in amazement that it has been 1 year already but I guess when your having fun doing something you love so much you never see the time fly right by. I am elated to be amongst the first to say HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY COMETOISLAND.BLOGSPOT.COM A.K.A ISLAND.

ISLAND EXCLUSIVE | Interview with The Last Prince - Benito Villella

Finally here is the long awaited two-part Editorial and Exclusive Interview with The Last Prince Benito Villella, where he shares with us his history, his thoughts and himself.

The Last Prince Benito Villella who's reign climaxed when even his public Facebook page surpassed 50,000 fans in less than a year. It's a most startling number when one considers that Renowned-Supermodel 'David Gandy's page has a little more than half, yet the 25yrs old, 6'0 (182cm) Italian of Calabrian origin remains is a boy, (Perfectly Normal) as he likes to say.."this is my trump card." Yet the normality and simplicity to become so favored in such a short time, would not been without the merits derived from so specific a form. From the particular expression of his face, to his dark eyes and full lips, his olive complexion and athletic-built... all distinctively Mediterranean. Prince Villella has worked for many high end clients like Enzo Castellano and editiorials in "Stiletto homme" and "Maxim" and walked in the Fashion Week Milan. The young Prince also had us all in a frenzy when he first revealed his physique to us for Aussiebum 'oh, come la divina!'
