Why this must be read:

Jack Sparrow’s appearance was one of the more memorable things from the movie: braids and beads and kohl, and early in the fandom, writers seemed to be having a fine time coming up with the whys and hows of Jack’s particular style. Zara Hemla’s version involves Trinidad, whores and most importantly of all, the line: “Am I very pretty?”

Jack was the reason I fell in love with Pirates of the Caribbean and his voice and attitude in any story is vital to my appreciation of said story. The Jack in “black eyes” is young, but he already has down the unflappable attitude that will later see him through cursed enemies and near-hanging.

At twenty-four, Jack is boy enough to be charming and man enough not to care that a whore is painting his eyelids green. This is his fifth voyage to Trinidad, and he is very broke and very, very drunk. He can't quite remember how this whole conversation got started, but he's willing enough to go along. Especially with Nancy perching so precariously on his lap that he can feel the button on her garter digging into his thigh.
