Zarité

Imagen
Zarité is a slave, a prostitute, Viollett bring her at the house of Toulouse Valmorain, the master of the estate. Zarité was buyed to be the personal slave of Eugenia, the Valmorain wife. All along his life she is victim of physical and sexual violence from Valmorian. She gives brith to a boy that is taken from her… All her history is about violence and abuse, but obiously she discover love, and paradoxically freedoom through dance and music. I knew her in the Isabel Allende’s book, “The island under the sea” (La isla bajo el mar) a historical and romantic novel, set in the caribean. Gender violence and violence in general is despicted in the way her body suffer, she, like a woman and a slave it’s doubly violated. I say only her body because she always says that is free in spirit especially when she is dancing. We can see that now the situation change, we don’t hace slavery like in the eighteen century, but we stil have the violence towards women just just for be...

London

This is my itinerary for my hipothetic travel through London. I would stay at the Surtees Hotel, that Will cost £91 for the seven nigths (cheap, don't you think so). Is near to the Victoria station, that it’s also my reference point to move to some other places. I always look for places near to Victoria station, ideally if I can walk or take the tube but not leaving the zone. And I would like to get the pass or travel card for seven days for £41.20, this will allow me to move through the zone 1 to 4. I had thought to start with classic tourist panoramas, like the Kew Garden or the British museum, but also during the nigth or in the afternoon I wold like to visit some bars and  thematic cafes. Apart of clasicc places, bars and cafes, I planned to go to see dance at the theatre, the Shoreditch Town Hall. I prefer the cheap or free entrance fee for lower costs, but there are some places that I really want to visit and I think it worth it to pay a l...

Self-portrait

This photo is a self-portrait, I took it in 2018, the time I postpone my career in journalism because of my mental health. I suffered depression, mental desease that make me try to kill my self many times. As you can see it’s not a happy photo, but let me tell you that I have never taken a more sincere one, more transparent and real. I decided to take it because I wanted to remember who I was at that dificult moment of my life, and have a registy for the future. Some time before the photo I was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital. I really like this photo because remembers me how dificult was that moment, but also how strong and capable I’m for overcoming depression and mental disases. It’s my porfile photo on Instagram and Facebook, because I like that people can see me just the way I’m.

Let's drag our lives

My favorite TV Show is RuPaul’s Drag Race, it’s a reality show that shows the competition between drag queens to become the next American’s drag super star. At the moment it has eleven seasons, and one more is confirmed. Every season has at least twelve episodes and in each one the queens work in competitions that prove their charisma, uniqueness nerve and talent, and at the end of the episode one of them have to  lip-sync for their lives , and the loser has to  sashay away . The host is RuPaul (Luv u mama Ru), the most important drag queen in the industry, she is a model, singer, dancer, producer… omg everything, and created the show to help other queens, and introduce them in the industry. My favorite Queen is Valentina, a Latina, very dramatic, elegant, funny and smart that is controversial because she has only been drag queen for ten months before she entry, that is nothing compared to queens that have been working for year...
