“Ungakwazi ukugqoka ijakhethi ye-puffer ngaphansi kwesudi? Ngabe kufanele ubonise ukubukeka okungu-84?"
U-Steven Cox ubebuza imibuzo ebalulekile namuhla esethulweni—esibukeka simangalisa ngempela—ka-Duckie Brown, ilebula yezingubo zabesilisa ayisebenzisayo nozakwethu u-Daniel Silver ebilokhu iyisibonelo esincibilikisa ubulili semfashini ethuthukisiwe yaseNew York. “Besifuna nje uhlelo oluhleliwe,” kwengeza uSilver ngobuqili nokwaziyo. Isixuku sadideka isikhashana lapho ababili bephuma ngemuva kwesiteji ngemuva kokuthi ama-sextet amamodeli ethathe imilenze yabo, kodwa ukugembula kwaba nemiphumela emihle. Isihloko seqoqo elincane, Idada Elincane, kungazelelwe senza lonke uhlobo olulungile lomqondo osontekile.
“Yizingubo zamadoda zangempela,” kusho uCox. "Senze izigqoko zabesifazane isikhathi eside kangaka, futhi manje sekwenzeka emadodeni ajwayelekile, ngakho-ke kwase kuyisikhathi sokubuyela emuva." Ngesitayela esisodwa sababili, lezi zingubo zisabukeka zisha futhi zingalindelekile. Ukufaneleka kwakuyindikimba eyinhloko ngendlela exekethile, ene-élan yokuqwashisa nokuhlola, kodwa hhayi ukunwetshwa ngokweqile. I-blazer “efile-eqondile”, ebhalwe isitayela engahlutshiwe sengathi icishe ibukeke umugqa ongu-A usikiwe, yayinhle kakhulu; ngokufanayo nejakhethi e-puffer ehoxisiwe, eyenziwe ngempahla yokugqoka.
Impumelelo ekuhlukaniseni, ekulenzeni i-Duckie, yavela kulokho u-Silver athe kwakuyizilinganiso "ezincane", njengamakholomu aphakeme namathebhu; “cishe i-puddle”–ibhulukwe elinomphetho; nemikhono emide. Njengoba "Ubuso Bakho Obuthule" obucatshangelwayo be-New Order buphuma embukisweni wezipikha, u-Silver waphetha ngokuthi: “Yileso sikhathi. Udinga njalo ukuba nesinye isithombe kanye nesinye isigqi ukuze usigcine sithakazelisayo.” Okuncane kakhulu, kulokhu, kwakusho okuthile ngempela.
