You get into the ‘whats’ of it, but none of the ‘whys’. Also it would have been nice to maybe get a perspective of their backgrounds. And I agree with Smarika’s ”colonial hangover commerce” statement. Like I said, get into the ‘whys’ of it.

uh huh, was thinking of the Caravan article myself. I do think this article missed a lot on the girls’ point of view of ze display item life. Also probably could have elaborated a bit more upon the colonial hangover commerce.

You have either missed out or stayed away from the prostitution angle. The April edition of The Caravan had an in-depth article about it. (
