![]() ![]() ![]() walking west to my beauty parlor earlier that evening, the sun was a gold coin beaming into my eyes until I had to close them. My face is pearly with a gossamer white anchal over my pale breasts, shadows of pink nipples under silver flowers of zardozi. (I frolic with peacocks and talk to parrots in the seventeenth century. When the lights came back on, the flies of fire turned into bugs with six jointed legs and hair-like antennae. Fireflies started glimmering around me, blinking their mating signals behind my cigarette smoke, halos of light moving around my body. smoking outside the club, there was an electricity cut, and the mall vaporized into darkness. My eyes are so heavy-lidded that I always seem intoxicated-in a dream-with a gentle smile, the little teeth I show like groves of jasmine.) (In 200 BCE, while the fair dames of Pompeii are setting their hair in tight curls, my dark face is luminous like the setting sun. Make it just a little smaller and then you will be truly pretty.” “Sweetheart,” you said to me, handing me a rum and coke, “don’t smile so wide. your friends whispered, “What a bomb-pataka you’ve netted, asshole.” “She smokes? Bet she sucks your dick too.” My plait is as thick as my arm, it snakes down my sinews, a river, breaching, in monsoon.) (In first-century India, my buttocks can hold mountains, and the desires of the whole world. My bare, tight midriff was pierced at the navel and encircled with a silver chain. My hair was silk, my lips crystals, my hips flat. On the dance floor, you held me by the waist. “Helps me imagine bigger boobs,” you said. when we had sex in the club’s loo, you took off my skirt and top and thong but not my bra. I walk slowly, bent slightly forward, unable to carry the weight of my heavy, heavy breasts.) (Lips like a red bimba fruit, eyes like a frightened gazelle’s, in the third century my waist is so tiny it disappears between my bosom and hips. “I love you, Sweetheart, but your boobs are really small.” at the club you smiled at the women who stared at your chiseled, fair face-nose sharp, jaw square-and told me how hot their breasts were.

(300 BCE, a garden glazed with moonlight. I plucked the three hairs between my breasts, Sweetheart, and wore an off-white plunge top with a tiny gold skirt over a thong that dug into my butt crack. I laid a T-shirt over my long hair and ran a clothes iron over it to turn my hair into satin. I shaved the hairs between my navel and cunt. I shaved the hairs at the small of my back. I shaved the hairs on my knuckles and toes. the club was called MOJO and played desi hip-hop that reverberated at my gullet, my world a cube of bass and rum and disco lights. In twenty-first century India I am pale-skinned, walking into a glass cabin toward four suited men who nod at me approvingly from behind a long desk.) Fairness cream = light skin = beauty = confidence = job interview badassery. YOUNG ELIZA SCHNEIDER HOT TOPLESS PROFESSIONAL(Ten years ago, when a popular skin-whitening cream in India started receiving criticism for propagating problematic ideas of female beauty (light skin = husband), the cream’s new TV ads started showing how the cream leads to women’s professional success. I laughed then, turned to my side, my clit erect, when you said, “Why is it so dark?

(Today my lips are fissured, purple wine in their cracks.) Musicians barely appeared on the roads anymore and when they did I wanted to tell them, “Don’t leave, please.” ![]() “Told you so,” you told me.Īcross the wine stain, a Rajasthani man in khaki pants and a tucked-out shirt played ravanhatha that sounded like weeping. The station smelled dense-your mouth at the end of a night of partying, Sweetheart, when you wanted to have sex and I turned to you, eyes wide and desperate, said, “Kiss me first,” but we couldn’t because alcohol had dried our mouths. someone had emptied a bottle of red wine at the exit of the bus station, the stain like the line of hairs between my navel and cunt.
