Genres - "Shirley Barnes"

The Shirley Barnes obsession about Nash Metropolitans is kinda weird, but I understand where she is coming from. I love classic muscle cars and trucks, so its a car thing I guess. It was kinda weird reading it with all the genres put into the sentences. For example, "She was a professional dancer-tap, ballet, acrobatic- but became......" It is very descriptive, but also to descriptive for me. I understand the meaning or things, but it is nice to have extra examples to fill the mind with detail and thought of what is being said.
