L’APÉRITIF
La reine rêveuse avec son chapeau-bijou de fruits
La diva des années 60 avec le casque rose
L'intellectuel à la tête inclinée toujours plongé dans ses pensées
Le minimaliste suspect au bonnet bleu
La rêveuse avec un chapeau rouge vif et des tresses
C'est l'ami qui vous fait immédiatement sentir inclus, même s'il ne vous connaît pas. Le chapeau bizarre n'est que le premier indice de sa personnalité colorée. Elle a déjà commencé à fantasmer sur un week-end avec tous ceux qui lui plaisent. Apéritif? C'est son habitat naturel.
La petite fille timide mais curieuse
Dès qu'elle est entrée, elle s'est placée sur le côté du buffet, observant attentivement. Mais à l'intérieur d'elle-même, elle se prépare : elle demandera bientôt quelque chose à ceux qui sont à côté d'elle et ce "Bonjour, je suis..." sera le début d'une nouvelle amitié. L'apéritif sans alcool est pour elle un passage magique entre ce qu'elle est et ce qu'elle est sur le point de devenir.
L'ami de confiance avec le perroquet
C'est déjà le favori de tous. A-t-il apporté le perroquet ? Ou est-ce juste une métaphore de sa compagnie animée ? Peu importe. L'apéritif pour lui est l'occasion de réchauffer les esprits et d'offrir une blague chaque fois que le silence risque de tomber.
La Reine bouclée avec des boucles d'or
Here they are, our protagonists of the first toast, from left to right:
The queen with her hat-jewel of fruit
She arrived with confidence and a dazzling smile. He knows all the appetizers by name, and he already knows what will happen to them: in his saucer. He breaks the ice with jokes about unlikely cocktails and tells anecdotes of worldly dinners. The aperitif for her is a temporary throne where she shines and... offers an olive to those who have the courage to show up.
The 60s Diva with the pink cap
Irreverent, confident, a retro touch. She came to have fun, to talk about cinema, fashion and - if it happens also love. She knows that the aperitif is the perfect theater to act for herself: ironic, light, unforgettable.. and maybe make special encounters.
The intellectual with the tilted head always immersed in his thoughts
Dreamy and a little absorbed, with his head in the clouds. But the aperitif gives him a corner of light. With a sweet laugh and a low voice, he begins to tell something tender and profound, and you realize that he is the one you will listen to the longest at the end of the evening.
The Suspicious Minimalist with the blue cap
It's the one who sits in the back, observes, and then comes up a perfect phrase that makes everyone laugh. He has a stoic air, but the aperitif loosens the collar of his soul. He's there to figure out who really has stories to tell – and after a second spritz, his questions get interesting.
The Dreamer with a bright red hat and braids
She's the friend who makes you feel immediately included, even if she doesn't know you. The bizarre hat is just the first hint of his colorful personality. She has already started fantasizing about a weekend together with whoever she likes. Aperitif? It's its natural habitat.
The shy but curious little girl
As soon as she entered, she positioned herself on the side of the buffet, watching carefully. But inside she is preparing: soon she will ask something to those next to her and that "Hi, I am..." will be the beginning of a new friendship. The non-alcoholic aperitif is for her a magical passage between who she is and who she is about to become.
The Trusted Friend with the parrot
It's already everyone's favorite. Did he bring the parrot? Or is it just a metaphor for his lively company? It doesn't matter. The aperitif for him is an opportunity to warm up the spirits and offer a joke every time the silence threatens to fall.
Sherazade with the gem hat
She still doesn't know how she found herself there, but she's happy to be there. Writer and poet tells her stories inspired by Aladdin and her travels to Isfahan. He talks about spices, cooking and how much a good glass can change an evening. He has already promised everyone a Sunday lunch. She's there for an aperitif, but despite her model physique she's already thinking about lasagna.
The Curly Queen with golden curls
He has already made friends with the bartender. It shines like his eyes and has an electric energy. Talk to anyone, even with the olives in the glass. The aperitif for her is a social stage: every toast is a round of applause.
Maybe they didn't all know each other at first, but now the magic of the aperitif - that sparkling suspension of judgment - has done its duty: I'm a group.
