"They sit for hours on the ‘cafés’ warming their precious behinds, and talk without stopping about ‘culture’ ‘art’ ‘revolution’ and so on and so forth, thinking themselves the gods of the world, dreaming the most fantastic nonsenses, and poisoning the air with theories and theories that never come true."

Frida Kahlo, in a letter to her lover, the photographer Nickolas Muray, expressing her disdain for the members of the art scene in Paris. Much of the letter is too salty to reproduce on a family blog such as this one; in other words, a good read!

This blog has never purported to be family-friendly in the least, so I have transcribed more of the letter:
“They have nothing to eat in their houses because none of them work and they live as parasites of the bunch of rich bitches who admire their ‘genius’ of ‘artists’. Shit and shit is what they are. I never seen Diego or you wasting time on stupid gossip and ‘intellectual’ discussions. That’s why you are real men and not lousy ‘artists’…all these people—good for nothing—are the cause of all the Hitlers and Mussolinis.”
“I rather sit in the market of Toluca and sell tortillas, than have anything to do with these ‘artistic’ bitches of Paris.”
“I met Marchel Duchamp (a marvelous painter) who is the only one who has his feet on the earth, among all this bunch of coocoo lunatic sons of bitches of the surrealists.”

Anaïs Nin: A ravishing beauty with a fierce intellect. She refused to fashion her femininity and sexuality around society’s expectations. As a kid, I had a cassette tape of Nin reading some of her stories. For the life of me, I still can’t bear to throw it out even though I don’t have anything to play it on. Her voice is so lush. Nin’s writing remains a great source of inspiration for me.

This hot bitch with flawless hair is Tura Satana. For your benefit I have bulletpointed reasons why you should love her:
- She was taunted at school for her voluptuous figure and Asian heritage but remained a Grade A student
- At the age of 9 she was gang raped by 5 men - they were never prosecuted, so she learnt karate and aikido and spent the next 15 years hunting down each man to KICK HIS ASS HERSELF. She said; “I made a vow to myself that I would someday, somehow get even with all of them. They never knew who I was until I told them.”
- At 13 she got a fake ID and went to Los Angeles to be a Blues singer
- That didn’t work out, so she returned to Chicago, moved back in with her parents and became an exotic dancer. She got pregnant at 19 but carried on dancing until she was 8 months pregnant & continued to make a shit ton of money
- She did all her owns stunts and fights in her most well-known film, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and director Russ Meyer credits her for key contributions to the film’s visual style
- A lover of Elvis Presley’s, she turned down his marriage proposal - but kept the ring
RIP you original Fierce Bitch.
