JOANNA (FROM NEW YORK) WRITES: "A STORY OF JEALOUSY AMONG ARTISTS"

Joanna (avatar)

Quiero ir un dia a New York, sólo para conocer a Joanna. O si ella viene a Europa, la atravesaré para verla. Porque Joanna (from New York, of course),a parte de muchas otras virtudes, tiene un sentido del humor extraordinario y una gran habilidad para plasmarlo por escrito, cosa no siempre fácil. 

Pero hoy ha batido todos los records (de carcajadas que me ha provocado). Parece que ultimamente estoy un poco...digamos dispersa...y, a parte de mi ferviente adoración por Bryn Terfel, que aumentó exponencialmente cuando pude conocerle en enero en Madrid, también se me ocurrió poner una foto "como experimento sociológico" del ruso más seductor del mundo de la ópera, Dmitri Hvorostovsky. He de confesar que lo primero es una auténtica pasión, y lo segundo un simple entretenimiento, pero... Joanna ha puesto las cosas en su lugar, por si había alguna duda, en un comentario del post donde Rolando y Dmitri cantan en Opera in the Park. Me ha gustado tanto, que, para que no pase desapercibido, he querido darle relieve en un nuevo post.

 
Conversation overheard between Rolando Villazón and Dmitry Hvorostovsky:

RV: Ah!!! Damnation!! First there was all this fuss about Bryn Terfel, the power, the presence, the magnificent voice, blah, blah, blah. And then there’s the whole business of how he rolls his Rrrr’s! What the devil! Don’t I roll my Rrrr’s enough for them? And those damned blue eyes aren’t helping my case. Now I have to deal with you, too, and that blasted photo of you as Mr. Atlas, flexing your muscles. It was probably Photoshopped anyway. (Crosses his arms in disgust.)

DH: Hey, Rolando, man, you’re not…?

RV: OK, fine, I admit it…I’m kind of…jealous and a bit worried. Have I lost the villazonista ladies forever? Have I lost my stuff? Next Super Teresa will abandon me all together and close down the Blog Villazonista. Oh, God, she’ll set up a Blog Terfelista site! And saying that the photo of you was put there to advance the cause of science? I don’t buy that for a minute. Next a Blog Hvorostovskyista! I can’t say it never mind think about it! It’s over for me! I just can’t take it.

DH: Easy does it, Rolando. Listen, man, you’ve got groupies who follow you around Europe! You’ve got women throwing their underwear at you! I’m sure women send you some very “interesting” things in the mail. And those villazonista ladies are yours forever. Bryn and I are just temporary distractions. We don’t stand a chance against you.

RV: Really? You think so? Well thanks for the reassurance. But, a friendly warning to you and Bryn: hands off my villazonistas. They’re mine, all mine.
