#La Tour de Babel

[mimmixerenard]

The most niche crossover I've ever made; I wanted to honor some fictional ginger ladies that I love (click for better quality!)

From left to right — Penny (Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog), Barbara (DC comics), Judith (Le Visiteur du Futur)

From left to right — Penny, Judith, Emeraldas (Leijiverse), Barbara

From left to right — Katerose (Legend of the Galactic Heroes), Barbara, Judith, Sylvia (La Tour de Babel), Emeraldas, Penny

You know that moment when you start something that slowly but surely begins slipping out of your control? Well, that's me with this crossover. Props to you if you do know all (or at least most) of the ladies featured there btw (and actually, please DM me if you know all the ladies featured there, I'd love to talk to you)

Pour être honnête, j'avais oublié l'existence de ce side-blog (en même temps j'avais pas grand chose de nouveau à y poster...)

>> Anecdote hilarante et facile à vérifier : mon dernier post (pas reblog, mais bel et bien post) concernait déjà un logh!au, mais en m'étant basé sur le style de dnt. Cette fois-ci, j'ai opté pour le style de l'ova.... mais il faut croire que certaines choses, dans le fond, ne changent pas x)

càd dessiner Heinrich dans les styles de mes hyperfixations du moment, préférablement lorsqu'il s'agit de sci-fi. Cela risque d'arriver à nouveau.

So, @mimmixe-lo-lecteurix a eu la merveilleuse idée Le dessiner, avec la couleur rose associée. Comme d'habitude, c'est une idée absolument brillante, et je suis donc avec Smiley. En jaune, cette fois.

Comme un emoji.

"I had to fight to be myself and to be respected. I'm proud to say I'm a lesbian. I don't talk about it too much, but I don't deny it. I've had to confront society and the Church, which says that homosexuals are condemned. It's absurd! How can they judge someone who was born that way? I didn't learn to be a lesbian, nobody taught me to be the way I am. I was born this way. I've never slept with a man. I've never slept with a man. Yes, I'm a virgin and I'm not ashamed. My Gods made me this way"

- Chavela Vargas

Chavela Vargas (María Isabel Anita Carmen de Jesús Vargas Lizano) was a Mexican singer of Costa Rican origin, born in 1919 in Costa Rica and died in 2012 in Mexico.

She is considered a leading figure in ranchera music, which she sang with strength and emotion. Her voice, rough and warm at the same time, served her theatrical, passionate and human interpretations of standards from the traditional Mexican repertoire.

"And since I have to say it almost everywhere, I'll say it: my parents didn't want me. I suffered for it".

She has an extremely difficult and conflicted relationship with her family, who do not accept her in any way. As a teenager, she left her country and her family for Mexico. The young woman rejected and criticised the ultra-conservative society in which she lives. Once in Mexico, she began singing in the streets.

In the 1940s, she became friends with the painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, staying with them for a while and becoming Frida Kahlo's lover.

At the age of 30, she was noticed on Mexico City's Avenida Insurgentes by the composer and famous rancheras singer José Alfredo Jiménez, who became the author of her main hits. With his help, she performed in the cabarets of Mexico City in the mid-1950s before embarking on the road to success in Acapulco, an international tourist destination, where she sang at one of Elizabeth Taylor's weddings.

Chavela Vargas rose to fame in the 1960s and 1970s, touring the world. She became a well-known figure in ranchera song, to which she gave a new lease of life.

Dressed like a man, smoking and drinking like a man, carrying a pistol, "the lady with the red poncho, silver hair and brown flesh" as the Spanish singer Joaquín Sabina described her, is characterised by her red sarape.

In a television interview in 2000, she came out as a homosexual woman. This is where the text at the beginning of the post is from!

Chavela's career reached its peak from the recording of her first album (Noche de Bohemia) in 1961 until the end of the 1970s. This was followed by a long period of fifteen years, during which the singer, suffering from a heavy addiction to alcohol, interrupted her musical career, which she did not resume until 1991.

Encouraged by her friend, the director Pedro Almodóvar, who compared her to Édith Piaf, Chavela embarked on a world tour, performing at the Olympia in Paris and Carnegie Hall in New York. Among her most outstanding performances was Tú me acostumbraste by Frank Domínguez in Pedro Almodóvar's film Babel. Being a close friend of Pedro, she has appeared in several of his films, including The Flower of My Secret.

Following a final concert in Madrid on 10 July 2012 to present her album (La Luna Grande), she was hospitalised in the Spanish capital with serious respiratory problems. She died on 5 August 2012, aged 93.

I am sure you know at least one of her song, La Llorona !

In any case, Chavela was an immense artist who had a profound impact on music, and I'm delighted to have discovered her, or rather re-discovered her. I listened to some of her songs and they're amazing if you like that kind of music ! And please look her up yourself, she was such an interesting person, I couldn't talk about everything in this post or it would have been too long !

« La France, et pas seulement elle mais tous les autres pays européens trahis par leurs propres gouvernements, sont en train de construire la tour de Babel dont parlait la légende judéo-chrétienne […] La République du Mont-Blanc lutte contre Babel, c'est-à-dire contre la confusion des races et des langues.»

Oui. Ma plus belle création à ce jour. I'll take no criticism.
