![]() WELCOME TO JAZELLA MOORE.COMI was born in Portugal, a rich, exotic Mediterranean country characterized by passion, complexity and languid richness. In school we were continually impressed with the culture of an ancient people, a colonial power that spanned and expanded the known world as it traded in spice and slaves. But that wasn't my world. At least, I grew up with it, but not feeling that I was a part of it. I'm a people person, and I didn't mind the attentions of the boys, didn't believe the nuns who told us that our natural selves were sinful and should be denied at all costs. I discovered that by approaching sexual pleasure resolved of guilt and fear and with need distilled to shared, creative adventure, the paradox of the Madonna/Whore was broken and with that the power of ecstatic joy could triumph.
