solanas invictus

Whoever would understand the poet, must go into the poet's country. -Goethe

"The glorification of splendid underdogs is nothing other than the glorification of the splendid system that makes them so."

Theodor Adorno. Minima Moralia

I guess thatss what makes an example of body horror, good: the anxiety beneath the metaphor. And I guess thats why the bad writing of a model does such a very good job at it. Who else would be as anxious about the body as someone who make a living out of it?

Curiosity got the best of me, and decided to search what was that Tyra Banks novel about and... She really should write horror. I guess models have a keen sense of what constitutes as body horror.

An older, unrecognizable person was staring at Tookie. It had a boil growing on its nose, letting out a smoke that smelled of rotten eggs and animal droppings. Much of its hair had fallen out in clumps, and many of the hanging strands had fused together into what looked like chunks of petrified wood. Its eyes were bruised, swollen nearly shut, and its ears were swollen into what looked like bulbs of cauliflower.

[…]

Everyone in the room screamed, their faces melting and warping just like Tookie’s was.

Piper’s skin was so raw it was transparent. Her blood was visible, pumping wildly through her face. She resembled a skeleton with muscles and veins, with a thin layer of clear plastic keeping it all together.

Dylan’s ponytails had completely fallen out and she was cradling them in her arms. Her nose had become detached from her face and was sitting on top of the bed of hair. Shiraz’s grapefruit-sized eyes bulged and bulged like they were about to pop out of her head. The spot where the ruby had been on Kamalini’s SMIZE was now a gaping hole four inches wide, exposing her brain. Angelîka’s ZipZap head injury had split open wide from the top of her head to the base of her neck. When she screamed, her exposed vocal cords, which lay in a spaghetti-like tangle at her throat, vibrated.

“My heads hurt so much!” both sides of Angelîka cried. Even Zarpessa and Chaste looked like mutants, their noses falling off and their lips turning into slugs.
