Shopping Challenge

“You have great clavicles,” Aurelia, the personal shopper, gushed.

"Thanks."  Questions first, Alex.  Clavicles second.  “How long was Mauve Finery a customer?”

“Ten months?”  Aurelia smoothed the red dress down Alex’s back.  “Gorgeous.  On sale,” she pressed.

“I don’t have a reason…”

“Reason's out there.  Big guy'll love it.”  Aurelia

thanks! i like to think bobby is measuring himself because the victim was roughly his size or shape and he was judging garment fit, but i think really he just wants to see if the color looked nice!

Lol! I can totally see Bobby doing that to throw off a witness or suspect :)

[mabsymango]

or just cuz he likes nice fabrics!

Alex sighed. “Yeah, he’s with me.”

These last two bits, brilliantly funny and insanely clever. I can hear/ see this...

Oh, and do I spy a Santelli?

thanks! it was late last night and i was fried from working and cranky cuz i missed the closer.

you do spy a santelli sister! aurelia santelli is the fourth of six. she's the source of all of gus' expensive chanel skirt suits. personal shoppers at macy's are a free service to customers (i have a friend who uses them extensively and has gotten fabulous dresses she would have never pulled off the rack herself), and over time they can build quite a clientèle.
