V2-V girl watching as intro to nosejobs

[alice wellintown]

In his Intro to Farina's BDSL elder P discusses the repressed sexual
lives of young men and young women. he is wowed by Farina's magnetic,
cuban-irish, way with the ladies, how the females young P can only
drool and dream on, do a little dance for Farina. of course, Farina
has been made legend by his on the road scholarship, real or imagined,
where there are still places, not all of them on america's maps, where
the objectification of women in a pre-code hollywood world, where the
virgins and vamps of the american dynamo are but a distant nightmare
and even the Myrtles (of Fitzgerald's Gatsby) of the new-wasteland or
new valley of ashes or the reoressed cornells of the consumer military
industrial complex, still swim, naked, their enormous vitality, a sea
of fecundity. But these marching heels, with McLuhan grills and high
beam busts of polished chrome will, as Daisy ran down Myrtle, crush
our boys under their metal frames and false fenders.
