Roly-Poly Mary Slimship and the Bag of Quarters John J Valles

Roly-Poly Mary Slimship is a story about good looks going out of fashion. It's a story where formerly good looking people are discriminated against as society begins a trend away from self-worth being defined by the once "normal" standards of beauty and good looks. It is now valued to be a more "interesting" person. The story revolves around the love-life of Mary Slimship, who is not that physically interesting of a person but, for some reason, attracts more-interesting-than-thou beaus. Oh well, as we all know trends go in and out of style and discrimination is just another word for oppression, and oppression is something that does not sit well with the human spirit. In other words the shit is destined to, eventually, hit the fan, and so it goes.
