I am unashamed to say that this woman, Bianca Beauchamp, is one of my main mental images of Babalon.

She is unabashedly fake. Totally upfront abut her body modification. She totally admits that what she does is porn meant for titillation. She’s been doing it and enjoying it for almost 20 years.

To be sure, she is not my ideal of feminine beauty. She’s too skinny for me (and that’s for ME and if you have other ideals of beauty that’s fine too). But she is an ideal of a time and a culture.
