NECKLACE & SARIT

At 23 Sarit returned to Israel as a qualified chef. She took a job in an Italian restaurant. Friends back in London had put her in touch with Ruthi. They met and were immediately close, bonded, in part, by the fact that they were both ‘big boobed’. Sarit found Israeli culture more judgemental of size than London but here was Ruthi, big and confident and glamourous. She wore a necklace made from a cluster of copper coloured pearls, they were strung together and hung, like an arrow, pointing to her cleavage. This necklace, a copy of her own, was made by Ruthi as a present for Sarit. When Ruthi wears it she too holds her head high, pulls her shoulders back and her chest out – just like her friend.
