She prefers it here—she prefers it at anyone else's—to the models' apartment. She has a sign on her door that says Fuck off I'm sleeping in a childish hand. An emerald-eyed Latvian blonde threw away the preserved egg slices she'd gotten her mother to mail her from Sichuan. Why did you do that, she'd asked the Latvian girl.
Because it smells, the Latvian girl said, and so do you. Pierre comes out the shower and mouths I love you ; points at her, as if there were anyone else in the room. She just smiles at him, presses down on the lighter with her right thumb and toys with the flame, lights a new cigarette.
These photographer types, their love is aggregated via the camera, developed in film. Relationships last as long as seasonal fashion, then you pack your bags and you're spreading your legs for someone else in a shoot, someone else is pointing his camera at you and telling you your single eyelids and cheekbones are so precise they can cut diamonds. She looks over at Pierre, the fold of loose tummy fat, wiping his pubic hair and white arse dry before stepping into his Calvin Klein briefs.
She's helped Pierre to lay the table. The caviar on the table costs more than her parents ever made in a decade of backbreaking manual labour. The caviar is served up on custom-made mother-of-pearl spatulas, to avoid tainting its taste.
She watches the people coming through the door. There's Emmanuel Alt and Franck Durand. There's Mert and Marcus. There's Filippa Hamilton and Pierre has his arm around her, they are laughing, Pierre in his element, with his little in-jokes and finespun compliments.
She hides an elegant wad of caviar under her tongue the way you would acid strips and she remembers the first time she got high, in that club in NYC when she was nineteen and didn't know a word of English, she couldn't stop singing patriotic Chinese songs in the clear alto she'd been trained in, she was so embarrassed even as her world was exploding into slow stars with comet tails and everything was moving imperceptibly yet inevitably, like a revolving restaurant.
They parted her hair and braided it down into two plaits and made her stand on a table, got her to strike a revolutionary pose.
She looks out the window. It is snowing out and she can see the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is lit up. It is beautiful. Someone is passing around a copy of Jalouse and she can't recognise the girl on it. Her head is bent back such that she regards the camera down the line of her nose, her eyes are slit-like, her skin is pale, her mouth is painted a deep plum, her tits are showing under a thin luxury knit. They are air-kissing her, to the left, to the right, to the left again, pointing at the cover, telling her how beautiful she is.
She smiles at them, bisous , she's learned to stop pronouncing the "S" in most French words she comes across, bisous, she rolls the tiny black spheres of caviar in her mouth, bisous, she's doing well. The Plaintiff herein, Lucie J. The Defendant herein, Miley Cyrus, is a popular American actress and recording artist.
On the 10th day of February , the Defendant posed for a photograph wherein she pulled back her eyelids in a slant to look like a derogatory Asian caricature. As a result of the Defendant's global fame as a teen idol, the photograph went "viral" on the internet, catching the attention of millions around the world.
The Defendant's conduct contravenes a statutory provision contained in the California Business and Professions Code [BPC] which prohibits businesses from discriminating against people based on, inter alia, race, gender, and ethnicity. The Defendant knew or should have known that the photograph would be in the public eye. The photograph was taken by an employee of celebrity news website TMZ, which is well known for publicizing such candid photos as part of their coverage of the lives of celebrities such as the Defendant.
In addition, the Defendant knew or should have known that the photograph would be further promulgated via mass media channels such as the internet and local tabloid publications, which the Defendant knew took great interest in her personal life.
The Defendant must, therefore, have recognized the risk that her conduct at that point in time would be seen by a large group of people and, in reckless disregard of that risk, struck a pose which amounted to a racial slur.
The image of slanted eyelids imitated by the Defendant has its lineage in a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent. Not only have the Defendant and the other individuals in the photograph encouraged and legitimized the taunting and mocking of people of Asian descent, she has also insulted her many Asian-Pacific American fans.
The inclusion of an Asian-Pacific American individual in the photograph does not in any way make it acceptable. Japan and other Asian countries still have their eyes wide open because the country has lived a long time away from the world. Even after Westernization, there are still few relationships with Westerners to mix and share this characteristic. The eyes of the Japanese or Oriental are not drawn or smaller than the western ones, but the eyelid is smoother, and not curved as in the western eyes.
The upper eyelid groove , usually well defined and about 7 mm above the ciliary line in westerners, is absent in easterners. Another reason that helps to give the appearance of slanted eyes is the epicantic fold, present in most Orientals, while Westerners have lost this cover. Research shows that Westerners suffer more prejudice than people with skin colors, size and weight.
Do Westerners feel superior? This is ironic since the Asians who are the majority in the world. The Japanese are heavily influenced by Western culture and anime.
This ends up resulting in a lot of young people and people who want to increase their eye size. I myself doubt this theory of the cold and the evolution of the Mongoloids a little.
