“It is with girls that stories begin” Kathy Acker Venus, the brightest and only planet named after a female god, the reign of love and beauty. Rotating very slowly, the Venusian days are very long and hot, really hot. Bored on Venus we are landing on our hard high heeled boots, protected in our black leather clothes full of metal zips, tools to play with on our space trip. From space directly to the runway we are the girls from another planet, we come to party. Satellites in the eyes, star dust on the hair, our skin sparkles in the night. You can’t understand our words but you can hear our metallic body language, a disorienting and sen- sual experience. Look at us walking fast and irreverent, we come from the future, headed into infinity. Forceful and confident, we just want to hypnotise you with our transcendental vibes. Play with us, detach from the planet Earth. Welcome to our holy and profane universe, ethereal with a punk bag and strong in transparent or- ganza, quiet when covered by metallics and stormy when dressed in soft billowy silks, delicate and aggressive as a silver rose. Be the most sexy alien in the room, have cosmic thoughts and above all: take your space. It’s my message to you. From Venus with Love
