“If you ask me, it's all these skinny models that make girls anorexic," she went on, to Auntie Barbara. "Ican't think why they don't use real girls with a few curves.""Stands to reason, Jenny." Auntie B. was as pinkly flushed as Mum. "All the designers are gay—theydon't want bosoms in their clothes, or bottoms, either. Not proper, girls' bottoms.”
“Nkechi never tried to hide her bottom. She was proud of it. Fascinating to me. Irish girls' lives were a constant quest for bottom-disguising or bottom-reducing clothing tactics. We can learn much from other cultures. ”
“Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round.”
“Oh I'm sure you're right," Auntie said. "Probably she's just as you say. But she looks to me like a very clever girl, and adaptable; you can see that from the shape of her ears.”
“All five hundred boys want to go out with the same ten anorexic girls." She said, "I'm a good musician, but not many guys are looking for a girl that plays great Bach preludes.”
“Not all gays respond to the same stuff. Would Alexander the Great have loved Auntie Mame?”
