SILK!

In this free topic I’m gonna talk about something that really got my attention this week:  The silk. It’s all start with a recent movie called “The upstream color” where two guys where boiling a worm to ingest some kind of drug that make them fully coordinated in movements. Independent of the movie argument (I don’t want to make spoilers to anyone, I fully recommend to watch this movie with a clear mind, trying to don’t get disgusted about the pretentious) the fact that they boiled the a worm really got my attention, I thought that this action was referred to something maybe symbolically or concrete and I was right. This Wednesday, in a party, some girl talks me about the process of silk manufacture: the silk is a textile obtained by certain  insect larvae to form cocoons, the process implies the boiled of the pupae in order to get individual long fibers… so I discover the meaning of the movie, of course I won’t tell you guys, but its easy.
 Anyways I became obsessed with the silk. There is something more badass that have a cloth made of this?


Then I read a book of Allesandro barrico called “Silk” about a Nederland man that travel to Japan in order to get healthy larvae, to make Silk, in the process he  meet a rich and powerful Japanese and he fall in love with his wife. In conclusion that’s why I’m saving money to buy a Silk shirt.
