Vision splendid


What is sexiness? Something intangible that most people would be hard pressed to articulate adequately. Vision Splendid does not try to explain what makes one person attractive to another, but explores assumptions about physical beauty, in a well written �slice of life� piece.

Martin�s world is one of hormones, uni lectures, friendly banter and one-up-manship. A world many will easily relate to, and some will want to return to.

Martin is in love with Robina, �the most beautiful person� he has ever seen. How you see Robina, through Martin�s eyes, will depend on your ideals. How your image of her changes as the story progresses could surprise and even shock you!!

I have two questions for Ian -

Why include the aside (in brackets) regarding Josie? Yes, it tells us more about Josie, and the transient nature of their behaviour, but it distracted me slightly. I thought it was Martin�s story, and I�m not sure this adds to it.

Being Australian I have to ask is Robina named after the town????
