"On being proposed to by a woman" and a "man"

If i had known that in 2018 i would have still been under pressure for a regular stay permit in europe , perhaps i would have known better and would have accepted a girl from Berlin who in order to save me from my continuous struggle for my unsatisfactory stay permit .... told me that in Berlin woman were allowed to get married and perhaps this would solve my issues ..... this was in 2004 while i was staying in Viareggio .  Since i am religious and the Abramic religions say that God doesnt like same sex marriages .... i couldnt accept and had to take my chances and  make do with what ever was in the cards ie wait ... however later on i did get a proposal from Jacopo who was ten years younger and who needed  a companion and a friend to look after him.  Everyone  loved his mother Silvia who was a very charming woman who knew how to keep people happy by putting nice food on the table and by telling interessting and  historic stories at the dinner table.

In 2016 i met Pascal who is a teacher of the french language ... he had come to the Brasserie at Momo' s  where Margaret put on display Art work by various artists: I had a show on some paintings which i had done with the use of Gold leaf.  In walked Pascal wearing a bright purple and some blue and pink ..,., really impressive sense of colour .,.,., and he said that he was organizing a fashion show with a young indian who was one of his students.,  Pascal i thought was a creative and awsome for giving this young man a chance.,   Once we had known each other for some time ,  he told me "you are never alone!" ., i thought that was so kind of him because i often felt totally on my own in Paris even tho surrounded by people who seem to  communicate through a sign language which i cant understand.  Later on he came to where i was staying one day and said I "propose" ! it was the first day of Ramadan 2017 and i was speechless , i didnt react since Ramadan and fasting had meant many hours of decipline .  Later on i thought i must have got it all wrong and infact he didnt say anything about it again and the matter was left at that..., i didnt insist ! I knew that he had little time for real stuff like family since he spent most of his time with his students. It is always plesant to receive proposals !

Article from "The New York Times" Madagascar and Vanila plantations Photographs and Text by FINBARR O’REILLY AUG. 29, 2018

 Comment:  I once found a bag near a shopping Mall in Paris ....  It looked like a girl owned it because it was full of makeup bits and pieces and there were a lot of cards in it , one of which belonged to a buisness school and this had her name on it.  The student was from Madagascar and i was sighing to myself when i called the school and the receptionist wasnt helpful in finding the person i was looking for.  I went to the consolate or Embassy one morning , spending money on a Taxi in order to give the bag to a safe person working there.  The consolate reminded me of  consolates or embassies representing very poor countries ...   .... where is  all the money and wealth going ? SAMBAVA, Madagascar — Bright moonlight reflected off broad banana leaves, but it was still hard to see the blue twine laced through the undergrowth, a tripwire meant to send the unwary tumbling to the ground. “This is the way the thieves come,” sai...

Abigail Heyman’s Groundbreaking Images of Women’s Lives (from The New Yorker)

Photo Booth Abigail Heyman’s Groundbreaking Images of Women’s Lives By Naomi Fry November 1, 2019 “Houma Teenage Beauty Contest,” 1971. Photographs by Abigail Heyman In a two-page spread featured early on in “ Growing up Female ,” a photography book by Abigail Heyman, from 1974, two black-and-white pictures are laid out side by side. The left-hand photo shows a reflection of a little girl, from the shoulders up, gazing at herself in a bathroom mirror. The child, who is perhaps four or five, with dark, wide-set eyes and a pixie haircut, is separated from her likeness by a counter, whose white-tiled expanse is littered with a variety of beauty products: perfume bottles, creams, and soaps. These quotidian markers of feminine routine are accompanied by an element of fantasy; gazing at herself, the little girl stretches a slinky into a makeshift tiara atop her head. Seemingly mesmerized by her own image, she is captured at the innoce...
