Titolo: Guevve Stellavi

Ievi alla tv c'era Guevve Stellavi - Episodio I - La minaccia fantasma. A
un certo punto il maestro di Obi dice "non vogliamo farci notare"
(ordinando di "parcheggiare" l'astronave in un posto sicuro, se ben
ricordo). 
Io ho pensato subito che l'inglese fosse qualcosa come "we don't want to be
noticed". Supponendo che sia cosě io avrei tradotto "non č il caso di farci
notare". Voi?
Ciao, FB

La scrittura in italiano con le erre sostituite dalla v è una presa in
giro della parlata snob.
Ievi sono andato dal pavvucchiere in centvo. Ho speso tvemila euvo per
favmi l'estenscion. :)
Ho scritto "estenscion" invece di "extension" per evidenziare la
pronuncia della parola da noi. L'extension è il farsi attaccare i
capelli per allungarli, e può costare anche 3000 euro. C'è stato uno
scandalo, perché nei carceri russi rasavano a zero le prigioniere per
alimentare il mercato nero del capello. La Posh Spice ha dichiarato di
avere in testa capelli di detenute russe.

And the moral is: Don't go to prison (OR jail) in Russia.

Or at least shave before going.
Jokes aside, one might think that for a woman having her head shaved
while in prison is not a big deal, but it's a matter of dignity and
pride. I'd love to know how a woman feels knowing to have the hair of
a convicted russian woman on her head, who was not willing to give
away hes hair.
Victoria Beckham said these words "my extensions come from Russian
prisoners, so I've got Russian cell block H on my head".
I am not blaming women with hair extensions, they have probably never
wondered where the hair comes from. Knowing that the women the hair
comes from did not give the hair away willingly, but were instead
forced to, should make a woman with those hair at least think about
it.
Anyway, I wrote "nei carceri" and, frankly, I don't know why I wrote
that. It's wrong. The word "carcere" is a masculine noun, but its
plural form - carceri - is a feminine one. So it should have been
"nelle carceri".

 it.
She declared: <<"Think", I've already heard this word>>.
Now I come to think of it, I was aware there was a good market for wigs in
Eastern Europe but I supposed women sold their hair (as happened even in
the west. Well, not all the hair, I presume).

 Well, not all the hair, I presume).
You presume right.

 because you're a poor, because you need cash, or for whatever reason.
Of course it's quite another matter. 
I once saw a black-and-white film ("a episodi", how should I say that?) in
which a young and poor couple are trying to find a way to give a present to
one another for Christmas. He sells his precious turnip ("orologio a
cipolla") to buy a nice hair slide for her loved one; she sells the tail of
her hair to buy a watch chain for her better half.
Rather moving, if I recall correctly.

 being shaved, but that's not the point.
if it's not their choice it will always be a form of humiliation, I don't
know the real reason
why jailors shave those convicted women, but their badge of recognition
often represents
a way to make easy (I dare say) bucks..
Sincerly I don't think women who buy extensions are willing enough to care
where the hair comes from...
they look at themselves in the mirror and discover how happy they are with
their new hair..

"The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry.

It's short, and relatively easy to read. Just watch the dialect.
