| Part description |
“It was in, er, I think, last months issue of FHM for the double chin sixteen year olds are doing it everywhere. I've seen them, those boys worry, seriously worried”. Richard faces the audience, right hand with palm flat pressing on the upper middle of his chest, his fingers outspread. With his right hand he rapidly taps his throat under the chin, his head tilted back. His right hand is placed back on his upper middle chest with a slight rubbing gesture. He takes a deep breath. These sequences of actions are repeated twice”. Richard explains later that the gesture was inspired by an article in FHM magazine about 'maleness'. |
