Maneaters: El Matador
Let me be clear about this: I do not condone bullfighting. I think it is a cruel, barbaric,and unnecessary sport. I fully support PETA’s campaign in Europe to end it.
I am, however, fascinated by the grace and glamour of the matador and can understand how Manet and Hemingway were inspired by them.
To see them move in the ring must be like the watching a ballet (I’ve never actually seen a bullfight). And their attire is far more ornate and beautiful than the tutu.
It’s no wonder the matador jacket and cape have continually influenced fashion designers.
Wow… The matador regalia is pretty impressive… also displayed on Madonna’s “Take A Bow” video.
isn’t it? I want to try a jacket on. I wonder how heavy it is.
I forgot all about that video! and check it out! VH1 has the pop up video version! I used to love Pop Up Videos!
Do you remember the Spanish movie “Talk to Her’ one of the characters was a female matador
yes! that’s right! while I was looking for images I read that female matadors don’t receive the same respect as male matadors and I thought of that movie.
