Plus tri

Ne sećam se gde je sve radila Marija,počev od Politike, Playboya, Ellle  pa konačno Lilly magazina, gde je pokazala kako je moguće napraviti moderan life style magazin bez velikog budžeta. Iako je ona pre svega talentovani pisac, ljudi je prvenstveno prepoznaju kao novinara. Bio sam potpuno zatečen koliko ljudi čita Lilly magazin. Koliko mi je nepoznatih ljudi prišlo i reklo da su pročitali moj poslednji članak u Lillyiju. Danas se mnogo stvari deli besplatno, ali retko se traži primerak više. I nije to slučajno jer  se iz Marijnog rada uvek krije neka ideja. Kao kod Druge strane medalje. Ko bi se setio da pita javne ličnosti o dopingu, i da uspe da dobije tako duhovite odgovore od Duška Gojkovića, Đurđije Cvetić, Dušana Kovačević, Kikija Lesendrića, Petara Božović i ostalih. Nažalost kod nas ne postoji filozofija sporta, ali zato je jedan od navećih svetskih filozofa Majk Meknami bio zatečen. Kako i ne bi kada je prvi put pročitao šta o dopingu misle operski pevači, dramski pisci, glumici ili kompozitori. Šta bi tek Majk rekao da je imao priliku da se suoči sa Marijinim neverovatnim stihovima. Možda bi bio iznenađen kao švedska princeza kada sam joj predao Marijinu pesmu o švedskom kralju, specijalno prevedenu za nju na engleski. Koliko je bilo zabavno, kao u Praznik u Rimu. Zahvaljujući Marijinoj poeziji uživao sam u pažnji prave princeze. Retki su to trenuci, jer se mi na Balkanu češće osećamo kao konjanici u čizmama čija je kosa  uvijena na krajevima i čije se gresi vuku za njima kao Marijinoj pesmi Romani.

I do not remember where Maria have worked, starting with Politika, Playboy, Ellle and finally Lilly magazine, where she showed how it is possible to create a modern life style magazine without a big budget. Although she is primarily a talented writer, people are primarily recognized her as journalists. I was completely overwhelmed by how many people read the Lilly magazine. How many unknown people came to me and said they read my last article in Lilly. Today, many journals are distributed for free, but rarely an extra copy is required. And it is not strange, since behind Marija’a work always some good idea is hidden. Like in the book Both side cleans. Who would remember to ask celebrities about doping, and to succeed in getting such humorous answers from Dusko Gojkovic, Djurdjija Cvetic, Dusan Kovacevic, Kiki Lesendric, Petar Bozovic and others. Unfortunately, there is no sport philosophy in Serbia, but one of the world’s leading philosophers, Mike McNamme, was caught up. How would it not be since he had chance to read what singers, writers, actors or composers think of doping? What would Mike say he had the opportunity to face Marija’s incredible verses? Perhaps he would be surprised as a Swedish princess when I handed her Marija’s song about the Swedish king, specially translated for her into English. How fun it was, as in the Roman holiday. Thanks to Marija’s poetry I enjoyed the attention of the real princesses. It’s rare moments, because in the Balkans, we more often feel like horsemen in boots whose hair is wrapped in the ends and whose sins are dragged after us like Marija’s poem Novels.
