I thank you, Virgin of the Solitude, for keeping me healthy, saving and protecting me in this job that helps me to survive day by day, as long as my body keeps it up.

Saint Sebastian, I dedicate you this retablo. After I saw Mario in the bar with another man, I met Felipe. He helped me to forget about the treason of that swine. Now, when we had a relationship, I ask you to take care of us, so that nothing would separate us.

I thank God because I had the opportunity to see the inspirational art of bullfighting of the great French matador Nimeño II. I remember him with admiration and respect.

I dedicate this retablo to the people of Nîmes, from the corner of the miracles, Mexico City.

I ask the Guardian angel of Mexico City to protect the homeless kids left to the mercy of fate and living in every corner of this biggest city in the world. Let’s do something because we also were children and some of us are parents.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because my buddy forgave me after catching me with his wife in their bed. I ask for your forgiveness but I couldn’t resist.

November 20, 1910, the people of Mexico took up arms at the call of Francisco Madero. Entrusting themselves to the Virgin of Guadalupe, the people fought doughtily for their rights, under the slogans “Viva the revolution!” and “Down with the bad government!”. With the faith in the better life and lands, and liberty, people fought for a free and independent Mexico. Don’t forget that there’s no other country like Mexico. Viva Mexico! Viva the revolution!

We dedicate this retablo to Saint Sebastian because we were made one for another. When our bodies meet we make love again and again, many times, drowning in pleasure.

I was coming back from a party when I met a couple of bastards. They wanted to beat me for being dude. I entrusted myself to you, Virgin of San Juan, asking to not let them do harm to me. Then a man arrived and defended me.

Mexico City — November 21, 2001

When I was on vacation in Veracruz I met Martin. We had such a good time together that I fell in love with him. But I was afraid he would reject me. So I prayed to the Holy Child of Atocha for a miracle, and Martin agreed to live with me at my house. He knew that I’m not a woman, and still he accepted me as I am. Here I‘m showing the day we met. It is a year since that wonderful day.
