Patty in Paris

After countless hours of discussion, I finally decided that Patty needed to remain Patty. I wanted to change her name to Ronda S. Tormented in honor of the tormented soul of Ronda Storms. But no, Patty remained Patty. She's the modern Anita Bryant, but worse... But like Anita, she will fall into oblivion. Nothing can exist in time when it comes from intolerance, ignorance and hate.

So Patty E. Patetik resurrected for a day in Paris as a performer in an experimental video written and directed by my friend Carlitos.

It was quite an experience, a lot of disturbing moments in the streets of Paris, with the stench of homophobia being stronger than the usual smells of the city, especially in the summer. It was a bit of a shock, I did not expect Paris to be so reactionary. In Colombia people laugh, there, they look at you with a lot of hate, the one who look at you like that.

But Patty was FABULOUS and overcame with class and humour every challenge.

Catlitos was fantastic, and Valerie was really cool. You should have seen us moving all our stuff all over the place in the park and the streets... The video should be ready soon.
