Ok "sisters" I am going on a limb here...reading some of the post on tumblr...maybe just maybe this model girl is nothing but a "friend" to Maks...some of the tumblr gals have made a good point in their reason to the captions on the pics...When some of the Papparazzi take pic of famous people they may not know who the person they are with is....they are just taking the pic to make the money and then whoever posts the pics write what ever they want to write as to who is in the pic and what relationship they are to each other etc...just like the pic from a while back with Maks and Nicole...they were talking about him having a secret lunch with a beautiful brunette, and he had his arm around her (if I remember)...
So until we know the true story...plesase just look at the pics and say...Gee I wish I was in Italy...
Remember no matter what we believe should be between Maks and Meryl it is their decision to make...They say they are "just friends" well they may think so in their head, but the heart may think different and they just don't realize it, but still their decision...Neither one is doing anything wrong if they are with someone else because they are "just friends".  Now they could very well be "together" in their own way, and each of them know what the other is doing...they say they talk all the time...
I just don't want you, my sisters to be all upset when the pics are posted...keep a calm head and we are here for each other...
Always remember I think Mama C and Grandma Sophia area watching him....LOL

Thanks, CEK. I read some of that too -- about the picture-taking. Let me just say this -- if I were anyone on this planet (Meryl?) who was going to sleep with him, he would have to get tested first. I don't think for one minute that he is not sleeping with this girl -- even if he doesn't particularly like her. I know too much about the way men's minds work on this subject.  Also, I need to know a reason why he took her and not Meryl, and that may come out. Seems kind of pathetic that he tries so hard to be around these people and impress(?) them. He has money coming in all the time from the four dance studios (five, now, with the one in LA). I don't think for ONE minute that he would marry this girl, but I think it makes him look desperate. What did he tell Tony? I'm a one-woman man. Gee, is this the woman? At any rate, the rag mags will go crazy, and I thought he hated that. Oh, I'm just rambling, so I will stop. (I think one of the problems I have is the definition of "friend"; I think it means something entirely different to me than to Maks.)

 Devin in Italy. # of toothbrushes - 1. Looks like she has her own room. 😊

 
Ok, on tumblr peole are all excited that there is only one toothbrush in the glass.  In a hotel like this there are usually TWO sinks!  My husband and I use different sinks and thus we use two different places to put our tooth brushes.  

Now people are posting that there are two robes, so that means Maks is there.  NO it doesn't.  There are ALWAYS two robes in hotel rooms.  It means nothing.  

Someone even said there were two showers, NO again.  That other door is to the toilet!  They are not important enough to have a suite large enough for two showers.  Besides, I'm guessing it's a plain room, not a suite.  The big names get the suites.

I know I doubt Maks at times, but these things are not reasons to doubt that they are in two different rooms or the same room.  My point is that it proves nothing.  Even if Maks and she are sharing the same room, I don't believe he would let her be advertising it on line-- that's just trashy.  I have no idea if they are in the same room or not.  It's bad enough she is there with him,  I stop my speculation there.  She sure likes attention.  I wonder if he realized that when he asked her.

There are also comments about stars who will be there and it being a good place for connections.  THis is a pure guess, but I believe that the stars will be brought in for one function and my guess is there is little interaction.  That's not right really, there is interaction because usually they are paid to be there and they mingle or entertain.  Yes, celebs are often paid to attend functions like this.  My husband's company has paid them to mingle at parties with clients.  It's a huge draw.   But real connections?  hmmm wonder about that.  I did read that if you paid the higher price for the table you could have a celebrity sit with you!  That's when I knew that the celebs would probably be paid.  Someone else on tumblr posted correctly that celebs get everything they can for free, so I'm thinking that the gift bags must be pretty nice.  Also wonder if Cantamessa is one of the sponsors.  If they have taken an add in the program, then they have a table and Maks was probably invited to sit at their table.  There is only one big event and I'm thinking it's the last night when the celebs are there and there is an auction.  That's when the big money is coming and hopefully spending.  The rest of these activities have been added on because they are in Italy. If you look at the dinner picture last night, there are really not that many people there.  At least not enough for a huge fundraiser. There will be many more people the last night or this thing will be considered a failure.  Last night they were eating on a stage.  While it might be large, it's not a venue for a huge fundraiser.  Don't know exactly how to make this clear, but I believe the 50K was for the entire event.  The table for the big event is something separate I believe.  

I have no idea why she is there because her only claim to fame is instagram.  As someone said, the internet is her agent.  That's why I do believe that he asked her to go with him.  

Today they have nothing until 3 pm.  So, not expecting pictures until after that.  This is not bad or good.  It just is. I'm over being upset.  Besides, Makji's friend is confident that MnM will be together, so while I'm doubtful, I'm still hopeful.  (if I was Meryl, I'd make him really crawl to get me back after this weekend<VBG>;)

Yeah! And he would have to get tested!! I know that some celebs, Paris Hilton (of all people), for example, get paid huge amounts of money to show up at certain parties. Don't know what the advantage of this is or for whom. Maybe you can explain, because you seem to have a good handle on it. Oh, I think I read that Paris would show up at parties at certain restaurants or clubs and it would bring a lot of people in who would then spend money there. Can you imagine living like that? I wouldn't walk across the street to see Paris Hilton!
