Magpie, diamond-eater,
Lolly Loleeta's ideal of life is an image the reality of which she would despise.

She's never had a mascara, she's never had her manicure done, this spring she bought her first perfume and first nice lipstick, this summer her first proper handbag, a few weeks ago her first earrings. She doesn't think these typical symbols of femininity really make a woman woman, or are important at all, but nevertheless there is something so exciting about them. She's never been the kind of woman for whom such things are natural. For her they are fetishes, props, toys. Through them she becomes someone else.

She is drawn to the variety and the endless novelty of the aesthetic world. Experiencing and comprehending it sometimes feels like the meaning of life to her. So she has to adorn herself with borrowed plumes. Alongside those for whom this world is natural, she is a fool, someone trying to live a life that is not meant for her. She wants to live her ideal of life, not what her life really is. Wanting to be everything she is nothing.
