Hi everyone,
I’d like to invite you watch my YouTube about the virtual world I built in 2020 after losing my dear friend Gino. It was published on Hotel by Masticadoes today and I want to give my sincere thanks to
Michelle Ayon Navajas, for curating this wonderful site and inviting me to put Gino’s Butterfly on it.
Please watch it or rewatch it there and Likes and Comments there are very much appreciated anywhere:)

I don’t have the words, Karima. I’m so humbled that I got to watch this video and hear his story from you.

A veces, sin saber porque, ni dónde ni como, nos conectamos y parece que te conociera de toda una vida. Por eso viví esa experiencia tuya con intensidad. De la foto, salta a la vista. Tienes un rostro muy expresivo y una belleza poco común. Se puede leer tu mirada. Que tengas un buen día.

Aww Dale you were such an integral part of making this work// Your butterfly script for the butterfly to leave the cacoon, still makes me cry..Remember the first time we tried and were just bawling…it was so moving..as our eyes were locked on the butterfly, transcending through the roof.. WOW! Thank you…for EVERYTHING!

Dearest Karima – watching this is a gift to everyone who sees it. You and Dale did such an amazing job. I absolutely love the way you embodied the entirety of Gino’s life. What a creative and amazingly gifted man. I enjoyed the slides of the images of the beautiful clothing him and his partner created and thank you so much for sharing them with us. I also thought it was fascinating that the studied at Tiffany’s and learned much about accessories and china patterns. The entire virtual world that you and Dale created is splendid and such a magnificent visual in which to show case such a brilliant man and his talents. You already know how I feel about how you ended the video. I thought I would get through it this time without crying but I didn’t. Such a sweet ending and having him feel so beloved being surrounded by all those that loved him for so long was such a great blessing. ( I thought the way you showed his time in the Korean War was especially well done, Karima. He came back from that and spent his energy creating exquisite clothing and much more, leaving that sad and devastating experience behind him. Many blessing to you my dear friend. I send you hugs, my love and my prayers as well. Thank you Mich for sharing this gift with us here on Hotel. 🌹

Thank you so much dear friend for suggesting I show this to Mich and I am forever grateful that you did as it is an honor to be here among you all:) Gino had an incredible life and you can tell by the original comments on YouTube, those who knew him spoke so well about him. No one ever forgot him and his presence even today is alive with stories and memories of him Thank you for your words about the world and the movie.. I am thrilled that you loved it so much..and felt the ending just as we all did who were there. Big Hugs and much love to you Joni ❤️
