Some of Gaillard's bullfighters are women, I'm sure there's a term for them but I don't know it. Pedro Almodovar's beautiful film Talk To Her was about one. I just read an obituary for Conchita Cintron, the first major female bullfighter, who killed 750 bulls in her career. Not a path I'd choose, but she opened a few doors, I suppose. She was also known as Diosa de Oro, because of her blonde hair, which she inherited from her Irish-American mother. Half Irish, the plot thickens.

  1. That first piece is brilliant. I might have to drag it back to the manor so I can ponder over it longer.
