"La ropa de la vecina cuelga y mira para acá..."

Pido permiso al señor Fernando Cabrera para apropiarme de esa frase de su "Azotea" porque siento una extraña fascinación por la ropa tendida en los balcones. No sé por qué, pero lejos de los monumentos que quien más quien menos visita en las ciudades a las que va, adoro encontrar -a veces casi como un tesoro oculto- ese paisaje urbano compuesto por las camisas, los pantalones, las faldas e incluso la ropa interior de las otras personas.


No sé qué parte hay de espionaje o de 'voyeur' o simplemente de admiradora (no en el sentido de mera observadora, sino de fanática) de la vida cotidiana en todo esto. Quizá me gusta sentir que, en medio de un mundo en el que la gente no se mira a los ojos o trata de competir con quien tiene al lado o no le importa una mierda conocerse, todavía quedan cosas por compartir y por airear. Aunque sea desde el anonimato del balcón abierto y la ropa tendida...

AMELIE:
No sé por qué, pero también es uno de mis temas recurrentes. He sacado decenas de fotos de ropa colgada y la primera foto te juro que pensé que era de Montevideo. Hay una bloguer española, Marisa Peña, que también se pasa sacando fotos de ropa tendida y muchas veces ilustra sus poemas con ese tema. Es más, me parece que tiene un libro con ese título.
Nunca le busqué una explicación a esa fascinación, ahora tu post me ayuda a encontrar una. En mi caso creo que hay algo de voyeurismo, pero también hay algo como ternura y tibieza en esas como banderas vacías de su gente.

Perdón, quise decir la segunda foto, la del caserón blanco. esa es la que parece Montevideo.

SANTI: mi querido amigo, claro que parece Montevideo. Desde que llegué a Matanzas (una ciudad hermosísima de Cuba, situada en el camino entre La Habana y Varadero y donde poca gente que visita la isla se detiene), tuve la sensación de caminar constantemente por Ciudad Vieja. Creo que ya lo había escrito alguna vez en el blog, si no lo digo ahora mismo. La primera vez que visité Montevideo (2004) tuve la sensación, al pasar por la Rambla (y eso que iba en coche), de que se parecía a La Habana (sin conocerla, claro). Cuando llegué a Cuba, confirmé mi teoría. No sólo La Habana, también Matanzas me recordó mucho, de la misma forma que Trinidad me recordó a Colonia. Supongo que el tipo de construcciones, supervivencia de nuestro colonialismo, hace que se parezcan bastante. Pero sí, no me sorprende nada...
Gracias, amigo, por participar de esta linda costumbre de observar las "banderas vacías" (me ha encantado esa imagen) y por pasarme el dato de Marisa Peña. Estaré atenta a eso...
Un beso muy grande desde Madrid (en la que también cuelgan ropas)

Amelie. Que hermoso es viajar con vos. Y es tan cierto lo que decis... Cada ropa tendida en esos balcones tiene una historia y como vos decis , màs allà de los monumentos o los grandes edificios, estàn esas historias urbanas , que tal vez encierran tantas cosas, historias de amor, de lucha, y fundamentalmente cuanta vida hay en esos balcones.
Gracias Amelie una vez màs por llevarme a caminar y recorrer con vos esos lugares que los contàs de una manera que me siento ahi....y mi imaginaciòn ya creò mil historias..ja.ja.ja.
Todo mi cariño desde este Buenos Aires con mucho frio otoñal y con algunos tendales de ropa colgada por La Boca.
Todo mi cariño
Vene

MARISA: qué honor tu visita, por favorrrr... Gracias por tus comentarios sobre la ropa tendida y sobre el blog. Serás bienvenida siempre que pases por aquí. Saludos naranjas.

VENE: amigaaaaaaaa, qué gusto recibirte por casa. Siempre que leo tus palabras son de halago. Por favorrrrr, terminaré creyéndolas jajaja... En serio, qué lindo que puedas emocionarte con las cosas que cuento o que muestro o cómo las muestro. Te mando un beso enorme (y lleno del calorcito preveraniego del norte) desde Madrid

If you have been doing some research into [url=http://nhommuachung.net/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url], then you may have a decent idea of what is known. Perhaps you could have worked out that not all you have discovered will apply to you. The thing about it is that you have to think about associated topics that could have a direct bearing on you. Yes, it can be disheartening when you think you have all you need, but you really do not. No matter who it is, there are stumbling blocks along the way if you find some important piece of data appears to be missing. You can feel free to include the following info about this topic into your research studies.

The general complexities of women's and men's style

Both women and men may feel the demands of maintaining their clothing up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion frequently seems a lot less complicated. Of course, for both sexes, outfits and fashion options can be quite as intricate, and there are lots of'cool'things that could easily become fashion faux pas - who is able to say they often see people walking on in 70s flares? On the other side, men's fashion includes a few staple goods that can exist forever - which man is planning to look out of place with a good-quality, tailored suit, for instance? Pick traditional cuts, colours and materials and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why classic men's fashion is eternal

The common man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many types for different situations, nevertheless they are all popular in their quest for a clever, sharp look for the person. The good thing about basic fashion for men is that it's effortlessly fashionable effectively cool. A well-groomed lady will typically look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such clothing. A suit will undoubtedly be utilized to work in many jobs because of the professional look it affords to the wearer, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Similarly a suit will undoubtedly be utilized to several social occasions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This extraordinary versatility that enables matches to be worn in virtually all functions is what gives it its amazing edge and a lasting place in men's fashion.

Modern movements in traditional men's style

Though classic men's styles can never be replaced, it is interesting to note that changes in men's fashion trends have produced particular basic garments back in fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, specifically, has taken back a wide-variety of common models into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress yourself in a classic yet lavish way, placing importance on appearance and operating in a refined approach. This trend for nearly'over-the-top'classic style for men is evident from events such as the'Tweed Run', wherever men and girls of all ages dress in obviously Victorian-style clothing and take to the streets on vintage cycles - with lots of the men wearing perfect mustaches! That is only one of several types of proof exhibiting the resurgence of such designs. There are also numerous sites on line which give attention to gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole web sites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in providing articles on traditional men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, whilst specific facets of common men's style can be brought back as new styles, the essential outfits that they derive from will never fall out of fashion.
