‘To put it in a nutshell, he was afflicted with a love of literature. It was the fatal nature of this disease to substitute a phantom for reality.’ -Virginia Woolf, Orlando

Frida Kahlo.

frida: “carlos [pellicer], I met chavela vargas today. an extraordinary, lesbian woman. in fact, I took a liking to her erotically. I don’t know if she felt what I did, but I think she is a very liberal woman, and if she asked, I would not hesitate a second before undressing in front of her. how often do we not just want a good lay? she is, I repeat, erotic. is she perhaps a gift sent to me from heaven?” (x)

a love story for the ages

“Growing up, a lot of my friends parents didn’t want me around their children because of my personality and the way I looked and dressed. They thought I was trash but I really was not a trashy person. It stemmed from the fact that I had absolutely nothing as a child and I just wanted so badly to be noticed. When I finally made some money, I went over the top. But why not? I don’t look the way I do out of ignorance, I look this way because I like it. Anybody can look like a common Joe. I look like I came out of a fairy tale.”
