The most beautiful woman is unknown. You did not know the most beautiful woman in 1984. She was my mother. My mother chose my father who was not the town king of my mother’s town when she was queen, but lord he knew what he wanted. My mother was wise before she was queen. I saw her rise in the mornings and make herself Woman and Teacher before the mirror. I did not know what it meant to be Woman, to be Teacher, until I read the beauty magazines and changed every woman’s picture with my mother’s face. Would the most beautiful woman elected by the most beautiful magazine walk the ugliest street and make it alive to the Book of Guinness? Would the most beautiful woman -- undressed and without hairbrush or film crew -- walk the earth for every ugly thing that’s made her beauty worth $12million? The most beautiful woman is unknown. And naked and free in a jungle outside New York. _____ + Magdalene Carmen photographed by Damien Smith
