Hostile Makeover
Ellen Byerrum
Home of the helmet hairdo and congressional comb-over,
Washington, D.C. is a hotbed of fashion faux pas. If anyone
should know, it’s "Crimes of Fashion" columnist Lacey
Smithsonian. She dishes out advice to the scandal-scorched
and clothing-clueless, doing her part to change this
townone fashion victim at a time... If Looks Could Kill
With a romantic weekend ahead of her, Lacey promises her
"once a cop always a cop" boyfriend that she’ll stay out of
trouble...but she sashays right into it. She’s set up an
interview with reality TV makeover success story Amanda
Manville. The inside skinny on the supermodel is that Amanda
is a prima prima donna. But the daunting diva
actually begs for Lacey’s help in stopping a deadly stalker.
As if Lacey doesn’t have enough on her hands with her mother
and sister visiting... But since acting sensible is for ugly
shoes, she steps right inand learns that sometimes
makeovers can be murder... Lacey’s Fashion Tip of the Day:
Life is not a dress rehearsal: If you’re the star, don’t
dress like the understudy.
