How Much Is your Body Worth?
(Photograph of Lisa Lyon by Robert Mapplethorpe chosen because I just saw an exhibit of his work at MALBA, along with my first Argentinian hipsters. Claps all around.)
Commence GCHAT conversation with Rony regarding selling part of your body to buy an apartment in Buenos Aires…
Rony: hey there
may I ask you an ignorant question, pls?
me: yes, of course
Rony: why don’t women sell their eggs?
why is it so expensive?
me: it’s like a lot of hormones
Rony: I’ve never understood that
me: you have to “harvest” them
it’s really Gattaca and disgusting
Rony: ie scrape them out
me: you have to do hormone treatments for like 6 months
Rony: hmmm
me: and they make you act like a lunatic
Rony: I want my sister to do it
I will arrange it all
and act like an agent / pimp
and take 40% commission
