I am a connoisseur of beauty. I am not boasting or anything like that, it’s just a fact. I appreciate beauty. In the animal kingdom, it is generally known that males are more attractive than females. The male peacock is brilliantly coloured; greens, blues, turquoise and so on. Cockerels are more flamboyantly coloured than the rather mousey hen. Lions are definitely more striking than lionesses. But with the human species, it is a little harder to tell. Generally, people think that women are more attractive than men and women make an effort to appear even more attractive than they think they are. They feel they have to plaster lipstick, foundation, powder, blusher, mascara, eyebrow plumper and so on and the result is a more defined and accentuated beauty. Or ugliness. A lot of women cleverly plaster on tons of makeup but the final result looks like they have not put any on at all. But not here in Kuwait. In Kuwait there is a competition to see who can appear the most like a peacock (does that mean they are male? Drag queens?). These ‘peacocks’ are so astonishing that I thought I had to share their art work with you. To our eyes they seem very clownish or cyprian , but there is obviously a whole world out there which actually admires these human canvases. Today, my choice is the ‘Bawdy Human Peacock Woman.’ I hope you enjoy the picture.
On to other things now. I am posting this lovely photograph of me (you can see that in my case, the makeup is very understated and I have the most gorgeous eyes don’t you think?). I am standing there, cogitating and pondering of the miraculous pile I have succeeded in creating over time. The pyramids weren’t built in a day and neither was my pile. It has long been a mystery how the pyramids were actually constructed with some theorists actually suggesting that they were built by aliens from another universe. Mystery no more, the answer is obvious: pigeons.
I shall leave you with those words to stimulate your minds.
