We Can't Rewind, We've Gone Too Far

That does sound like an interesting book, however turgid the prose is. I am moved to wonder, however, just why dressing in male clothing was "an indication of the wearer's occupation." I mean, I get why cross dressing might indicate that here was a woman who existed outside of societal norms, perhaps one who was game for anything, but I'm not sure why wearing men's clothing would appeal to the prospective customers. Does he go into that at all, or just present it as fact?

I don't believe I've ever seen a photograph showing a "fallen angel" dressed in men's clothing. It certainly runs counter to the Hollywood image of all those low-cut dresses, doesn't it? (not that that has anything remotely to do with reality anyway)
