The little hut beneath the railway arch engulfed in whistling, song, and laughter; it is this bedlam as would give them away were anyone within distance of hearing. Each pocked with torn photographs, the otherwise colourless interior walls backdrop four young girls who applaud and provoke the fifth of their number, adapting her hipless grind to their howling and whatever precarious choreography she can establish upon the unstable and stinking mattress beneath her now shoeless feet.
Inspired by the surrounding display and their odd euphoric disgust at the substantial pubic hair on exhibit, and with obeisance to some universal striptease theme, they each perform within their own self-bellowed soundtrack the partial or on occasion total removal of their clothing, in wonderful celebration of their singular still-clinical hairlessness, this joy they know to be defined, not far now from the cusp of pubescence.
