that makes sense

she in a way is kind of like the friendly mall employees of yore that
Prairie could trade (stolen) jewelry
for lunch...
although he is not as cute as Prairie (but he isn't a thief either)

cognate: let's say the
fiction writer is like the detective,
the publishing industry is the Golden Fang
and academia is LAPD...
then, Penny represents, umm, fanzines?

the p-list is like those stewardii and their boyfriends...
or, I guess, more like that club they go to...
