Women In Stripes

Women in stripes are usually quite astute. They shoot at marvelous targets and always make their mark. They make chalk outlines around dead ideas and hold the sky up with one hand. Women in polka-dots are wild, self-absorbed and beguiling. You can catch them smiling at some secret they won't share. How dare they have something with which to amuse themselves with! Women in plaid are phenomenons although they are complex. They vex the gods with their obscure beauty, unconcerned if anyone objects. Women who love the skin they're in are worth writing home about. Without shame or scorn, she is high-born and loving life just a little bit more than her neighbors.
