Patty Diphusa, Confessions of a Porn Star
Adios
Adios, fun.
Adios, confessions.
There's only one
interesting person in Madrid
And that person is me,
Patty Diphusa.
When I do something,
I do it to be
unique.
I'm outta here.
There's no point.
End of confessions.
I mean it.
I'll think of something
to keep me entertained.
I don't want anybody
to understand me,
much less imitate me.
It is disgusting to hear
nothing but words of admiration.
What are you taking me for?
An artist?
Well, you're wrong.
Or hasn't anybody noticed
that I don't sleep
and I have to spend my time
doing something?
You imitate me.
And that makes
happiness, shamelessness,
frivolousness and ingenuity
fashionable.
You laugh
You enjoy.
You celebrate everything
I say and do.
Everything is parties,
sex, happiness
and unconciousness.
The atmosphere has changed.
Up until now this has been
the Kingdom of Mediocrity.
A game stops being a game
when it becomes
a cultural manifestation.
I'm outta here.
I prefer the drag,
the depression,
reflection,
abstinence,
nihilism,
discretion,
inactivity,
good manners,
country music,
having a schedule,
being careful,
melancholy,
visits with the family,
communism,
common sense,
roots,
tradition . . .
I don't have
anything more to say.
Thank you.

Patty Diphusa, Confessions of a Porn Star is cabaret created from series of stories written by Pedro Almodóvar which were in sequels published in Madrid's magazine La Luna, in (during) the eighties. Those stories are from the edge of urban life, rude stories which glorifies everything (all) human: sex, pleasure, violence, love, romantic, whishes. Patty is a girl from dreams, full of life, who never sleeps, projection of spectator's desires, writter's alter-ego.
Patty: Tell me more about me, and I will do more for you.
Almodovar: You are typical girl of our time. You are creation of viewer's fantasy. You are what viewers would love to be.
Patty: You are also a viewer?
Almodovar: I would love to have your spontaneity and positive attitude towards life. You love to fuck and enjoy being adored.
(P. Almodóvar from the last series 'Interview with Patty')
Patty elopes from solitude and herself and doing so with lots of humor and common sense. Her story telling is in amoral and at the same time in clever manner. She is at the same time vulgar and ultimately kind simple girl. Or maybe she is not girl at all?
I am Patty Diphusa. My profession? International sex symbol or international porn star. According to critics specialized in the field, my erotic interpretations have a certain something that makes me unique. When I perform fellatio the only thing the spectator pays attention to is the expression of my mouth and my eyes.
