Miss Vitriolica Webb's Ite

But Teenager ii. I have no idea about. He is a peculiarly Portuguese invention, this one. I don't mean his clean cut-ness. Clean teenagers exist everywhere, though obviously in reduced numbers since global advertising campaigns originating from the UK, (the origin of the truly gross teenager) inform the whole world's youth that scummy is COOL. Clean teenagers even existed in my teens, they were called the Benetton Babies then.


But THIS clean, sweet smelling teenager is super clean, super sweet smelling, super brilliant white. He wears only "rugger" style shirts from Sacoor Bros or Gant or Benetton clothes, in all the glorious shades of white and blue, the more daring sometimes go for a pale pink stripe. He wears those leather loafer-cum-deck shoes so popular with "Lisbon Man goes Casual". His most astonishing feature, though, is his HAIR. Not only is it sparklingly clean, with a shine on it to make his mother proud, it is swept and vigorously combed into this 1970s stylee, so "Dukes of Hazard" or "Chips", and I can't work out HOW, these boys with this particularly SILLY hairdo still manage to SWAGGER down the street, while looking like Beau Duke in pastel three quarter length pants.
