Long hours and Short skirts
Long Hours and Short Skirts focuses on three nightclub toilet attendants – Charity, Samantha and Londy – all of whom are African immigrants, from Zimbabwe and Botswana, and now are living in my hometown of Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
This project aims to highlight the cultural differences between these toilet attendants – all of whom are middle aged African women, working long and unsociable hours for little money, and the young, scantily clad, alcohol fuelled Essex girls who have probably spent more on alcopops that night than the attendants will ever earn in tips.
