Even though it's fussy, I don't think overly so, but I think the drab color doesn't help. If the blue were instead a garnet red or even a sunny yellow, I could get more excited. Still, I do detest the neck wear and think that her hair-do is so modest as to somehow give her a cheery rodent face, so I must say 'Nay'.Paul Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09969557760934512569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-39050965956057403302009-09-27T04:37:39.305-04:002009-09-27T04:37:39.305-04:00The dress is moderately successful.
