The faceless model

   When a friend sent me some pictures of her that she made with a professional phtographer, i felt that there was something to write about. So here it is: The faceless model.

   A famous bottle of whiskey, a pack of smokes, a black and white picture for a blue mood. And in the background, there she is, lying down on the floor, one knee up.  You can see her body but not her face, she wouldn’t let you see it. Some say that a beautiful body attracts the customer and a simple and sensual glance can make him buy anything. But she is unique and up to the challenge, believing that only her body can do both.

And she’s right, as easy as it seems, she has this marvellous way to let your mind wander on her fine lines and when your eyes reach the whiskey, you are already tipsy with happiness and willing to have more. But you understand that through time and space, she is too far away, in another world and she doesn’t give you the chance to meet her as long as you can’t her eyes.

Still black and white, she invites you, in her fluffy dress, holding it at the edge of your mind, playing with it, showing you the path to what could be your craziest fantasy, letting you know that she is almost yours.

But she is not, she is no one’s and again, she stays in the dark, right under the lights of fame, keeping her face unknown. Maybe she is just shy, maybe she wants to be mysterious or maybe she wants to play with your mind, letting you think that she is everyday around you, in the bus, in the stores, next door.

In white but coloured this time, she is getting closer and gives a bit of herself,  her long legs folded to show you that her skin is smooth and her ability to almost kneel to the floor wearing high heel shoes. Her curves make your head spinning and then you start wondering why.

Why is she hiding her face? You need more! More than what she gives you. But is it possible that the faceless model don’t want to show you what she thinks could not be beautiful? Is it possible that perfection has issues?

Well, she is the only one to know the truth… her and the photographer. This mystery man who made her what she is today and made her amazing body become brighter, without asking, not once, to have her face on the pictures.

            You have the right to ask some more, but she has the right to refuse and at the end, what really matters, is that she makes your mind wonder and that is the reason that in the middle of all women, she is the one you will remember.
