In serious biographies of Frida it is often speculated
that she may have had Munchausen's syndrome, the
obsessive treatment of factitious disorders.

this wasnt in the movie (which i saw and enjoyed,
in which there was a reenactment of the trolley accident).

if she did have Munchausen's, that would be a good
reason not to choose her as a life-model.

if only she had left a diary describing what sex with
Leon Trotsky was like. imagine making love to the
revolution! imagine Leon having to live up to the myth!
