Dirty Ball: Jungle Beauty Goddesses by Cassandra George Sturges


Chapter 1: Blue Eyes Like Me

Chapter 2: Pink Like Me

The Moonlight Reprise by Kai Engel captures the uncertainty about our existence and search for truth within ourselves and where we fit into the universe. The piano in this piece of music is yearning, pleading, and discussing with its god the meaning of life—it has so many unanswered questions.

In this quote from Dirty Ball, Jungle Beauty Goddess Afar is questioning her sister Qattara about how looking different from her sisters causes her to question her beauty and self-worth.

“Qattara, how is it possible for me to feel beautiful if I don’t look like my creators, my parents. Am I wrong to feel less worthy, less valued, less important than my dark brown sisters? Why didn’t I get to choose how I want to look? Why didn’t I get to choose my own life purpose, my destiny, Qattara?”

Chapter 3: Broken Vows

Jungle Beauty Goddess Afar sees her creation Earth’s first man and falls lustfully in love with him. She uses her deity powers to explore his body.  Beyoncé’ s Naughty Girl song highlights the energy of not only what Afar does  to Mada, but also how rationalizes breaking her vows.

“From stars to dust from dust to me, don’t believe a thing you see. It’s never how it looks or seem—It’s just a wet and juicy dream.” There now, go back to sleep, she seductively commanded. Mada’s closed eyes tightened, and his breathing evened…”


Chapter 4: Nothing without You

In most relationships, we fantasize about what it would be like with a person before we manifest a physical relationship with that person. In our fantasy, this is where the most exquisite, licentious, and uninhibited merging of the souls take place. Chapter 4 is one of—if not my favorite chapter in Dirty Ball because I loved how Jungle Beauty Goddess Afar and Mada connected in another realm of reality.

“Afar clutched her chest and dropped to her knees when she saw the stone sculpture that Mada had created of them together. The sensuous beauty of the sculpture solidified her love for Mada. Her adoration for the stone masterpiece sizzled her being into the stone, causing it to liquefy as she merged into it.”


Chapter 6: Let Me In

This is the point in the relationship when both Jungle Beauty Goddess Afar and Mada both realize that it may be impossible to meet each other’s needs because of prior obligations and fate. They realize that they love each but explore whether love enough.

“In the throes of passion, Afar was almost too drunk with pleasure to push Mada away-- butterflies and humming birds swarming around the gates of her secret garden. She wanted to let him in. She felt him at the door, pushing and knocking. But, all she could think about was the one technical vow that she had not broken and how breaking it could destroy her relationship with her sisters. “



Chapter 13: Fatherless Beings


“Afar interrupts Mada, grabs the half-carved wooden bird from Mada’s hand, and declares, “I loved you. I still love you.  I will always love you. Yes, maybe I was wrong in how I expressed my love for you…but it was still love… raw love…passionate love… real love. No matter how misguided, tainted, and imperfect it was… it was still love.”


Chapter 14: Our Pink Babies

Even with all of her flaws, Afar begins to learn from her mistakes and wants to evolve and save the world that she and her sisters created.

“Rules exist because when you take away someone else’s freedom, you take away their right to choose what is for their highest good; and you take away your own freedom because you have to give up an aspect of yourself to confine someone else. When I violated your rights, Mada, I took away my own.”

Excerpt 1
When her sobs turned into whimpers, he picked her up and carried her to their bathroom to take a bath together. The bathroom walls were red, with red and orange tile floors made out of ruby and carnelian gemstones. The red garnet fireplace was lit; and the deep, brilliant orange flames softly glowed throughout the room. Pink roses and candles surrounded the orange Jacuzzi. The steamy, hazy orange light filled the room accented by pink bubbles. The room smelled like a floral garden with hints of sandalwood and frankincense.

Nebula wrapped her arms around Dematter’s neck. He gently loosened her arms from his neck and sat her down on the red velvet couch in the bathroom. He bunched her long, black, wavy hair into a ponytail and wrapped a red rose around it to hold it in place. Dematter kissed the trail of tears on Nebula’s cheeks before kissing each eyelid. He kissed the tip of her nose. His tongue traced her full lips, before parting them with his tongue. Nebula’s tongue met Dematter’s with eagerness. They kissed. He removed his tongue from her mouth, sucked her bottom lip and said, “Nebula, look at me. You are the love of my life. I would never do anything to hurt you or our children. Believe in me again. Love me again.” Nebula buried her face on the side of his neck. Dematter could feel her warm tears rolling down his back. Nebula couldn’t talk. She hugged Dematter as tight as she could to let him know that she still loved him—wanted him—and needed him.
