English term or phrase: Va-va-voom
Niby jest definicja: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_eng...
ale w kontekście tego fragmentu nie bardzo przychpdzi mi do głowy, jak to ładnie oddać, żeby było chwytliwe i w duchu oryginału. Tekst jako taki traktuje o obsesji na punkcie damskiego ciała w kulturze popularnej, a fragment brzmi:

A recent cover of Vanity Fair, for instance, showcased Penélope Cruz, wearing a slinky open-backed dress over a “story” entitled "va-va-voom.”
