The wild girl

Left-wing, left-handed and left to her own devices, the wild girl is always ready to fight for what’s right.

*

The wild girl frequently engages in radical acts such as cutting her own hair, recklessly breaking mirrors, and unleashing the power within, around and beyond. (These events are often connected.)

*

The wild girl carries her body like a revolutionary flag or a new tattoo. She has a music video walk, a runway run. She looks funky and cool in all manner of t-shirts and footwear.

*

The wild girl laughs, sings, cries, farts and thinks out loud. She’s a billboard kind of girl.

*

The wild girl can fearlessly down home-brewed distilled beverages and non-bottled water. She likes her herbal tea the way she likes her food: the hotter, the better. (The same goes for sex, of course.)

*

The words ‘subversive’ and ‘hard-core’ fail as powerful adjectives when applied to the wild girl.

*

The wild girl isn’t actually that wild at all, not in a feral sense at least. All she really wants is to go to Berlin.
