Sicalípticas

When the twentieth century started in Spain we had to invent a world, and with it we also had to invent terms consistent with social changes, such as sicalipsis: that battalion of gallant ladies, the sicalípticas, goddesses of pleasure and queens of variete temples, theaters, theaters, slums, lounges and music halls. Eccentric and delightful at the hands of scandals that would leave futurists as true beginners. Lyric Vaseline poets who would nullify Tzara himself. Heroines of modernity, bastard and electric goddesses, a whole galaxy of perdition and authentic cosmopolitanism. Independent women, convinced trade unionists, temporary Bolsheviks, intermittent polyglots. Feared as devils capable of infecting all Spanish women with independence, carriers of the virus of perversion, fornication and the perdition of man.
