Era un maniquí de aparador, como si toda su agitada vida de anfitriona social la hubiese preparado para este momento final, el acto último de lo que en vida fue una representación permanente: un maniquí recostado entre colchonetas de seda' blanca, bajo vitrina de plástico, con el pelo cuidadosamente pintado de caoba, las mejillas lisas y coloreadas, la boca obscenamente hinchada y entreabierta en una sonrisa que parecía lamer la muerte como si fuese un caramelo, la nariz retacada de algodones porque por allí se podía escapar lo que quedaba del jugo vital de Carmen y los ojos cerrados -pero sin los anteojos que la hostess manejaba con la sabiduría de los cegatones elegantes, como si fueran un rehilete a veces, un dedo de repuesto en otras, un pendiente exhausto o un stiletto amenazante. En todo caso, la batuta con que Carmen Cortina conducía su brillante opereta social.
She was a window-display dummy, as if her turbulent career as a social hostess had prepared her for this final moment, this last act in what had been in life a permanent stage show: a mannequin reposing on white silk cushions under clear plastic, hair carefully tinted mahogany, cheeks smooth and pink, mouth obscenely swollen and half open in a smile that seemed to lick death as if it were a lollipop, nose stuffed with cotton balls, to keep what remained of Carmen’s vital juices from leaking out, eyes closed—but without the glasses that as hostess she had wielded with the wisdom of the elegantly blind—as if they were darts, or a replacement finger, or an exhausted pennant, or a menacing stiletto, but always as the baton with which Carmen Cortina conducted her brilliant social operetta.
