Beverly Hills Socks
West of Hollywood, the commercial district of Beverly Hills glitters like a trillian cut diamond about the left hand of La, a diamond ring for a city infatuated with itself. Three boulevards border this district: Santa Monica, Wilshire and La Cienega,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with Santa Monica and Wilshire crossing one another to create the westernmost point of the triangle. Nearby stands the Peninsula Hotel, with its own five stars and diamonds, and also the original Beverly Hilton Hotel, recently renovated for $80 million. East from the Hilton, a continuing line snakes out the door of the cupcake shop past fine antiquaries, imported sports cars and jewellery collections. Just two blocks from Rodeo Drive, people wait to pay $40 per box for cupcakes baked with organic lemons and African vanilla. The people in line are coiffed, they iPhone-equipped, as well as their dogs are fluffed.
Given all this luxury, it appears almost shockingly banal that the crown of this district triangle ought to be a gabled Starbucks cafe, but it's.
But then, using its claim to fame because the originator of the five-dollar cup of coffee, maybe Starbucks which adjoins a boutique property sales office and sits just a block from the salon called Glitz where women go to gorge does your style in in the crux of Beverly Hills. The ladies of Beverly Hills can afford many things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but empty calories are not the type of things. It seems a fair bet that these Starbucks patrons will discard many frappuccinos half-finished, many croissants missing mere bites.
Thus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the garbage bins in Beverly Hills, particularly that one at the familiar cafe just on the corner of the three boulevards, will probably make fertile grounds for that astute destitute looking for sustenance. It seems sensible then that a woman should be found digging in daylight within the trash from the Beverly Hills Starbucks and drinking the dregs of discarded Frappuccinos. It would be the kind of place she could expect individuals to have thrown out their drinks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nearly full. So perhaps it should not have seemed an anomaly when that is precisely what was happening at the intersection of Santa Monica and Wilshire as rush hour traffic inched by with an unusually humid summer day.
The woman legs, sinewy with grime,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], stuck out of a smocked garment that stopped above her knees and that was, like her shoes, the noncolor of smog. She hunched within the garbage bin, lean like a spoon, having a head too big and too long for a body so thin, and hair that hung, greasy as bacon, in strips about her face. And woman is not the right word on her. She was young, perhaps Two decades old, without the blooming hips or breasts or flesh of femininity. Her shape,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or insufficient it, made her as sexless as she was colorless. For this, her spotless, lace-trimmed bobby socks counseled me the greater shocking.
Between the sweat trickling down the grime-streaked mop handles of her legs and the sodden clumps of her shoes, those socks were like light bulbs glowing inside a broom closet. These were neat and these were pink, color of poodle skirts and cotton candy at the fairgrounds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], newborn nurseries and announcements crowing a woman! Those socks were the pink of schoolgirls flirting with innocence, ribbons on lingerie,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], foam curlers at night, anna roses on delicate stems. Most of all, those pink socks were the colour of vanity and desire, possibility and potential.
Those socks said something powerful about the lengths we go to make ourselves look and feel desirable -- particularly in a location like Los Angeles, where it's taken for granted that to do so we shall willingly cut ourselves,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], burn ourselves with chemicals, starve ourselves and inject biotoxins into our faces. What goes on to those who cannot afford to eat, much less afford microdermabrasion and sheep placenta skin creams from Switzerland? Will they lose their need to feel beautiful just like they lose their addresses? After being homeless himself, George Orwell once said that evil of poverty isn't a lot that it makes a man suffer as it rots him physically and spiritually. There could be no doubt that sexual starvation plays a role in this rotting process No humiliation could do more harm to a man self-respect. Orwell believed women to become rarely so destitute as men. But surely the possible lack of human contact lack of being wanted, touched or checked out be a personal injury that is gender-blind.
One couldn help but wonder that, when she scraped together a little bit of money, it had been neither food nor drink nor shelter nor even socks of a practical kind and color she bought; no, she gotten herself something pink with lace, a small luxury in a lifestyle with precious little room for vanities. You can easily forget that it is sometimes not just food for that body the poorest need. On the other hand, it is only as likely that she had nothing else to put on, those socks, like the coffee cups, had been brought out of some pile of things discarded by people who would also have more where those originated from. On the sad woman to whom getting gorgeous involved little in the way of gorging,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for whom real estate is far from real, and who otherwise looked as if her sparkle have been extinguished, those socks glinted more brilliantly than all Beverly Hills on a summer day.
