I had a friend who used to acquire designer logos and sew them on her kids' department store clothes in the dead of night so they didn't realize they weren't wearing haute couture.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-18727036330053261792011-08-25T19:36:51.838-04:002011-08-25T19:36:51.838-04:00Good for you, Warren.

One of my characters dresses "wedding-guest-ready" since she is a wedding planner. But although my main character supplies champagne for weddings, she does so begrudgingly just to keep her store afloat in profit. <br /><br />Like me, (LOL) Abby would much rather throw on a bathing suit and hit the beach.<br /><br />Yes, clothes are a reflection of the individual and must be described, but too much of the designer name droping stuff bores me.E.

It also gives much more room for red herrings; just because someone is wearing a bad outfit doesn't automatically make them the bad guy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754229648422848542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-17102671596695405742011-08-25T08:46:29.871-04:002011-08-25T08:46:29.871-04:00At least you knew up front the values of your poss...At least you knew up front the values of your possible date, Warren.Pauline Alldredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847008019331163905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-75316561380961634692011-08-25T03:49:57.425-04:002011-08-25T03:49:57.425-04:00An interesting family history.

I told her if that was important to her we would not get along away and withdrew my offer of a date. <br /><br />In Agatha Christie's The Body in the Library, the clothing of the body is a factor in the novel.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.com
