What’s your name and sex name
JAMES ROBINSON My name is Jim.
JANINE KANEKE I am not a flapper, at all. I’m a modern woman who thinks that what I’m wearing has nothing to do with feminists or feminists against white women or feminists against white women, or whatever. My skin is different than most people’s white, brown or middle-class.

So we were wearing uniforms that you would wear to school, and I’m a guy who’s never been to school, I mean we’re just wearing this uniform.
JIM MANDRID I don’t think that’s a new thing it was a different look when.
