Natalia, a quirkyalone in Florianopolis, devours SoSingular!

Santa Teresa, a hilltop neighborhood that is often compared to Montmartre in Paris for its bohemian atmosphere, rich cultural life, and (to me) intoxicating architecture is hosting an action-packed literary festival FLIST the weekend of May 15 and 16 and I am going to participate with an event to launch the Brazilian version of my book, Sósingular: Um Manifesto Para Romanticos Irredutíveis (in English, it’s Quirkyalone: A Manifesto for Uncompromising Romantics). Here’s a formal invite in English then in Portuguese! If you are nearby, please come by and be sosingular with us.

When: Sunday, May 16, 3 pm

Where: Terra Brasilis, Rua Murtinho Nobre, 156, just opposite the Parque das Ruinas

What: A book launch party for SoSingular: Um Manifesto Para Romanticos Irredutíveis. Join us to learn about the quirkyalone movement worldwide and to talk about single life in Rio. Meet other quirkyalones (or sosingulares) over cairpirinhas!

A quirkyalone is a person who enjoys being single (or spending time alone) and so prefers to wait for the right person to come along rather than dating indiscriminately; relishing equal doses of solitude and friendship; attracted to freedom and possibility.

The desire was stored up inside me while work took center stage. For years, I was singularly focused on work, whether it was Quirkyalone, my other book and magazine To-Do List, and my street fashion community website stylemob.com. At long last I decided to take the leap, but to be honest, I was petrified. Petrified and elated.
