pageboy

English to Spanish Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
I stare at the face under the ridiculous pageboy-God, he'd never had a decent haircut, had he?-nd didn't believe it. But the fact remained, I only knew of one halfíncubus, British mage with a serious hard-on for the Codex who was around in 1973.

Mi propuesta:
Miré fijamente la cara debajo del paje ridículo: Dios, él nunca había tenido un corte de pelo decente, ¿verdad?, y no me lo creí. Pero el hecho seguía estando allí, solo conocía a un medio íncubo, un mago británico con un serio "hard-on" para el Códice que vivía alrededor de 1973.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

En cuanto a "hard on"... Significa "unhealthy fixation". http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=have a hard-o...

Podrías matizarlo con joven, pero probablemente no hace falta.

corte (de) paje

A mi modo de ver, se refiere al corte de cabello tipo paje, no al muchacho en sí. Podrías usar "paje" a secas, como sugieres, pero no está claro que sea el corte.

Como ha dicho David (algo que aparentemente pasó desapercibido):

• pageboy: 1) One, usually a boy, who acts or serves as a page. 2) A hairstyle, usually shoulder-length, with the ends of the hair curled under smoothly in a loose roll.
(http://www.answers.com/pageboy)

Podrías usar "corte paje" (como en http://spa.dciinstitute.com/videos) o "corte de paje" (http://mensual.prensa.com/mensual/contenido/2003/01/18/hoy/r...
