“The rise of selfie culture isn’t about vanity; it’s about women taking back control of our images—and our self-images. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Discuss amongst yourselves.” 
― Paris Hilton, Paris: The Memoir

Happy 4 year Anniversary @bashfulbutcher !! Living with you the past two years has been amazing. I love the way you love me and Scott and always know how to make me feel better when I'm going through it. I'm so lucky to get to love and be loved by you!
Our anniversary also marks the anniversary of our triad with @deadpoolology !!
I'm so grateful to know you both and my life completely changed for the better the day(s) you both walked into my life. I love how safe and secure I feel in this relationship and that we can talk about and get through anything together. You've both taught me so much about love and communication! Love you nerds!!

The Timelessness of Selfies
Even before there was the camera, people felt the urge to have artists create images in their likeness. The wealthy had artists create portraits in watercolor, oil, and even frescoes. Often these artists would paint more expensive clothes or even change history by adding false imagery at the request of their patron. In the time of antiquity, people had statues and mosaics made to display their likeness. So, this practice is not a new habit of ours.
Oddly, there is one painting that always comes to my mind when thinking of humanity's constant need to create these kinds of displays. The painting I'm talking about was of a man who suffered with hypertrichosis named Pedro Gonzalez (Petrus Gonsalvus).
Tumblr media
The story of Pedro Gonzalez, is a strange one. Pedro Gonzalez was born in 1556 in the Canary islands (a group of islands off the coast of Spain). At birth, he was a source of local curiosity and soon drew the attention of the aristocracy.
During the 16th century, all kinds of people were seen as oddities were traded between powerful or wealthy families. So, Pedro was taken from his home and given as a gift to King Henri II.
King Henri II decided to give Pedro a Latin name (Petrus Gonsalvus) and ordered Pedro to receive an education. The King did this as a sort of entertainment; he wanted to watch the "savage" fail. Fortunately for Pedro, his education was a success.
Pedro became fluent in multiple languages. He mastered the art of the nobleman's etiquette. He even became essential for receiving foreign dignitaries and ambassadors, gaining favoritism from the King.
When King Henri II died his wife, Catherine de Medici, took power as regent. She decided that Pedro should be married in hopes of producing more "wild children" like himself. Catherine became a matchmaker and found a woman (ironically also named Catherine) for him to marry. This new Catherine was a French woman, rumored to be a great beauty.
Tumblr media
Petrus and Catherine met for the first time on their wedding day and though it might not have been love at first sight, Catherine gave him many children (seven in total and four of their children inherited their father's hypertrichosis)
In 1581, he and his family were sent on a never ending tour of the courts. Where many paintings and studies were done on him and his children. This fascination escalated and soon they settled under the ownership of Duke Ranuccio Farnese, who tragically sent away Pedro's affected children as gifts.
Tumblr media
I don't know why I connect this strange story of Petrus and his family to the current selfie culture, but I do. Somehow, I think we have become voyeurs in each others lives. The more bizarre or unique the narrative, the more interested we become.
We all buy into the freak-show or spectacle of life. And I wonder who are the Petrus's of today?

fucking INSANE that it's been a year since i got top surgery. i get to look like this EVERY DAY. this is amazing.
i went swimming for the first time since surgery last weekend. just being out there, jumping around in the waves with a friend, was so fucking healing. i can't get over it. i hadn't been able to enjoy swimming like that since i was a kid, and it just fucking hit me.
today i went to a little show, got myself some flowers, flirted with a cute guy. i know top surgery isn't the only reason things changed for me, but my life is just really fucking good now, and i'm so excited that i've got more of it ahead of me. i really love being me, and being trans fucking rules. look at these tits. stunning.
