Rasta Hygiene

Feminist Collage Art: Daniela Cristina Gagiu

What to do if a poor semi-rasta approaches you:

Find some food and clothes. Preferably a shirt; it´s more suitable for Casanovas.

Then look at their skin, and if it looks bad, give them some body lotion or oil if you have it. Their skin needs hydration.

If they start showing the book, give them some books to read on the beach that would attract women. It´s the final strategy.

If they give you one love quotes, declare ¨your man¨, but also put shitty music, disrespect women, and throw around blessings, calling you bomboclaat in between, then just hand them a soap and a razor for the armpit rasta. Once they can get close to horny tourists, difficult to approach if you smell like hell from a few meters distance; you´ll have them completely out of your way.

I gave a skinny rasta wanna be a bikini razor blade, and he is now to be seen successfully hugging women in the parks and approaching readers at the beach. The support planning worked like a charm.

Hygiene gives confidence.
