VAMPIRA!

Just got done watching a bio documentary lovingly named 'Vampira and Me' and it went over some VERY interesting concepts about how Maila viewed herself and the character she created. One in the same in a sense but differing in a multitide of ways, she speaks with such conviction and I adored that about her. Her presense on film and in audio is chilling and in a way comforting and hyper aware at the same time. 

Quick and sharp like a knife, witty and mellow with her remarks, she speaks from a place of knowing beyond her self. She's very well aware of the monster and the icon she has created, Vampira being almost like a second head on her shoulder.

It is amazing to me that she recorded herself alone having interpersonal conversation, for her it's like as if she was not speaking into a void. She understood that someone is listening, that someone, anyone, many of ones, who can hear and understand what she was saying in multiple ironic layers. 

It really saddens me how Hollywood ate her up and spat her out like nothing, and at the same time glad that someone gave her a chance, and that she had a scene to fall back upon. 

(Whoa I just got a wicked case of Deja-Vu while typing this.)

Voices like Maila Nurmi should have been heard, she had so much to say and it showed even in the worst of  her horrifying career. Sad that we couldn't hear her say it all before her passing.
