Noseringed

The women, tatooed, painted, carmined, noseringed, bespangled, grotesque, and yet each wearing the invisible cloak of native dignity, a heritage of the desert, bore water in jars on their heads or shoulders from the river.

They stood aside and lied and lied and stood aside and lied (el popolo toro) till the animal died but lived not like the little noseringed swine who brought the Moors and Mussolini’s men and bloody Aryan bombers

Product of the rather incongruous relationship between clean cut Roy Tucker and dreadlocked, noseringed Kate Aldridge, this little mite was born in a teepee at the Glastonbury Festival, was prevented from leaving the country by a court order, has been subjected to DNA testing and was named in a new age ceremony on Lakey Hill.
