Kari

- What a heartless, cruel, evil BITCH ! Kari exclaimed, empathically, when she told her the story. You see, Maura, she continued, it’s not her fault she’s like this… it’s the society and the fashion magazines- the thing is, they’re inducing us the false idea that beauty depends on standard features, and that people who do not meet these standards are to be marginalised…
Yeah, sure… Maura couldn’t even follow. Kari was everything that she was not: a witty hipster, succesful, popular and, above all- gorgeous. Damn gorgeous, with her fit body, with her long, long eyelashes, her expressive figure, her blond curls…and, as any postmodern feminist, she didn’t give a damn about beauty standards, ignoring fashion and searching for the offbeat- which, of course, made her extremely fashionable.
-I’ll tell you what, girl, Kari continued: have a cup of good rooibos tea and some chocolate: it heals all wounds. And don’t cry, OK? Please, girl: You’re a strong woman ,you’re smart and you’re beautiful!
Yeah, sure…
