The obligation to be beautiful

Date:

Luckily I was warned in time with a loud ‘What are you doing, motherfucker!’

I am so hungry that I recently tried to eat a cactus: they gave it to me for dessert as a gift in a communion and, released alive after two weeks of a carpantic diet, I thought that the earth was made of chocolate and that the shovel was made with a coin. An After Eight cactus. Luckily I was warned in time with a loud ‘What are you doing, motherfucker!’ If not, I’d still be picking the nails off my tongue.

The diet is terrible. A doctor, probably a descendant of Dr. Mengele, told me I need to lose nine kilos. Nine. In short, let him say what he wants and I’ll do what I want. There are doctors who are committed to professionally ruining our illusions. And that they enjoy it.

It must be because of that gazuza that haunts me that when a man threw a cake at ‘La Gioconda’ last week, the first thing I thought was that cake would sit better in my stomach. It can be seen that the turkey has found no other way to protest climate change than to pie the Mona Lisa. Son, what a waste. In 1914, Mary Richardson stabbed Velázquez’ “Venus of the Mirror” in charge of the arrest of her colleague Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the electoral movement. Look, now that women are allowed to vote, we no longer put up a cloth, but we continue to cut ourselves, with or without a scalpel. How much to celebrate the diversity of bodies and much bossy, but some of us continue, fragile, uneasy and insecure, to face the summer mess that threatens us. That we are very smart for many things, but very stupid for others. “It is not the desire to be beautiful that is wrong, but the obligation to be beautiful,” said Susan Sontag. How little have we progressed.
