Paris, mon amour...

The 1st of April 2023 my sister and me went to Paris to the Sci-Fi and Manga convention, my sister has been always a great fan and admirer of Shannen Doherty (she has a great tumblr for her, @shannendoherty-fans, please check it out) and I decided to go with her as I liked Shannen Doherty as well, I saw her in Beverly Hills 90210 and in Charmed and it was a great opportunity so see her and her co-stars so close (I loved Charmed!).

The next day, on April 2nd 2023 I went to Montparnasse Cementery to visit Tina Aumont and her mum Maria (I also visited Teresita, although at that time I didn't know she was buried there...). My sister couldn't go but she was happy that I could!!

Who could imagine that some months later Paris would have that connection, that special bond that us, as twin sisters share... when I learned that Shannen Doherty passed away I just shocked, I could not believe it, she was very active in social media and so supportive to her fans, attending all these conventions... I have in my memory the moment I had my photo with her (me I'm the one with dreads and striped shirt), the contact eye I did with her, the smiles we shared... she looked very close, very calm, very human, but very happy as well... my sis (as true fan) did the photo just before me (she's got Shan's book Badass) and then she told me "I told her I love you, I love you, I love you so many times", I was happy for her, she met her idol!! we both were happy and fortunate that we could meet her.

Paris will have forever in our hearts this strange but beautiful bond of being the city when we met Shannen Doherty and where Tina and her mum and auntie rest, and I'm sure when we will visit again it will have another meaning, as we will always remember Shannen Doherty being there, I'm sure we will find some beautiful place there and make it our little shrine for her, laying flowers, and coming back from time to time just to be closer to Shannen, to feel closer to her.

I still cannot believe that she's gone, I see the great posts my sister does in her site that I just enjoy them, but when I read the recent articles, the press, the social media, what her friends say, it's really hard to think she's gone. I still cannot believe it. Thank you Shannen for showing us your many fights, your fragility, your strengh, your heart and your soul, you will never be forgotten.

Fly High Queen!!

Greetings, my dear longtime SKIRT readers and honorable Tumblr colleagues. It has been a hot minute since you have heard from Skirt Journal, hasn't it been? Should I start with the good news or the good news? I will start with the good news, or rather, an explanation, we will get to the good news eventually, soon.

I am sure that most of you, despite your continuous and loyal support for the posts on this page, noticed a certain change in the quality and disposition of Skirtmag as well as the other platforms linked to the Skirt universe. This change was due to a significant technical blow, which was that I was no longer able to access Skirt with the same original computer the page was started on. It meant loosing a lot of planned content and the general organisation of the platform. To keep the page going, I had to rely on alternatives such as using public access computers, as well as borrowing equipment and such devices to keep making posts. Thankfully, I was able to somewhat maintain the rigor of Skirtmag but without doubt, it was clear that a certain quality of Skirt was affected in the process.

I had envisioned expanding on the voice of this platform and exploring the prospect of elaborating on the ideas expressed on Skirt with a collaborative, much more engaging interaction with the very audience of this page. Whilst the projection of that idea was affected, the alteration was in some way an opening to gaining new ideas and perspective that could nourish my current understanding of Skirtmag at that time. I was forced to look at the platform with objective eyes, which in turn meant I could learn how to present to you ideas and content in a more concise manner. This was a development which I saw that many of you did appreciate, and it also led to a clear discussion about what purpose pages like ours can have to offer, especially to people who feel passionate about ideas such as those expressed on Skirtmag. I was pleased with this notion of following the passion, and it managed to keep me heavily inspired for this entire year.

As for now, behold, GOOD NEWS! After much hassle and hustle, I am able to use the original PC again. The drama, oh the drama! Imagine!, emotions spewed out like a soap opera reunion as I logged back on today. I am overjoyed to regain access to all my files, along with the new concepts gained throughout the time I could use this old darling. I am thrilled to say that I can pick up where I left off with the old ideas and use them to sharpen up what we have going now. This means you can expect that good old Skirtmag voice to sound silky and clear for this Christmas and for 2023,........which reminds me Happy birthday Jesus!!

« Hommage à Léo Ferré »

Toi qui ne disais jamais rien

J’ai tes refrains dans mes mains

Ni dieu ni maître à ce qu’on dit

Moi, je voudrais juste dire merci

À toi, qui n’en reviendrais pas

Rien de toi ne s’en va

Sur ton Île Saint-Louis

La liberté refait mon nid

Léo, Léo, c’est pas si grave

Si certains refrains se délavent

La jolie môme, c’est trop pour son coeur

Vingt-et-unième siècle: tu t’en r’mettr’as

Tes étandars sont trop gais

Pour s’émouvoir de tes couplets

Est-ce ainsi que les hommes vivent ?

Pornographie ou bien érotisme ?

Dans ton Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Moi, je poursuis une voie ferrée

Je suis Pépée, toi le fusil

Assasinée dans ta folie

J’ai beau harmoniser ma voix

Après toi, rien ne s’en va

Ce maudit blues était ta vie

Ton affiche rouge, c’est ma survie

Léo, Léo, j’irai jusqu’au bout

Mémoire, la mer, les Hiboux

Ton scaphandrier sera mon prélude

Rutebeuf, ma solitude

Tes anarchistes et mes chansons

Se comprendront un peu, ainsi font

Je serai ton Paris Canaille

Et toi mon phare, mon étoile

Léo, Léo, si je déclame

Ces mots en l’air, je m’enflamme

C’est bien que mon coeur te remercie

J’ai flané sur ton Île Saint-Louis

J’ai craché des mots mais sans le faire exprès

Comme un calque sur un chevalet

Si mes griffures brouillonnent ton fantôme

Ma voix t’épelle en saxophones

Ma voix t’épelle en saxophones
