Wideness is beautiful but unstable
2. Unstable
|
Contrary to public opinion, the classical archetypes of beauty are greatly represented by the language of instability. Mae West is a great spokeperson for instability. The wideness of her hips and breasts are a major contribution to the Hollywood-powered perception of the female body in modern society. These peculiar characteristics of her body are endlessly exposed, 24 frames per second, inside the movie film, in a virtually infinite spectrum of choices. The lack of a check point interacts with the senses of the beholder, generating a perpetual variation in the way Mae West is seen. One could rigorously say that her body ceases to exist: it becomes pure thought. |
