Grave Apparel
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 town—one fashion victim at a time.... Sweater-Gate
Eye Street Observer's resident sourpuss, Cassandra
Wentworth, made enemies with her editorial skewering of
tacky holiday sweaters. She herself wouldn't be caught
dead in a red and green cardigan, yet Lacey finds the woman
bleeding and unconscious wearing an acrylic number that
practically sings “Deck the Halls.” A homeless child who
witnessed the assault mysteriously disappears—and
could be the attacker’s next victim. When suspicion falls
on the Observer’s food editor, Lacey is torn between two co-
workers. Or is someone trying to pull the wool over her
eyes? It’s a case that only the ever-fashionable Lacey can
unravel…
Lacey’s Fashion Tip of the
Day
Tweed on the Beach, Flip-flops in the Snow? It can only
mean one thing: You’re a victim of Seasonal Apparel
Disorder. Consult your mirror. Call your stylist. Get help
now.
