*H* IS FOR *H*AUTE COUTURE!

Dear readers, I am participating in Alphabe-Thursday where ‘H’ IS FOR *H*AUTE COUTURE 2004-2010!
Recent coments by Claudia Schiffer (above) who says “You can’t be too overdressed or too sexy on the school run” or for running chores got me thinking about the sort of clothes she has doubtless in mind. Designer clothes! So, to help you, dear readers, when you’re next at a loss what to wear when popping out to the local supermarket but still want to be as “sexy” and groomed as Claudia, here are a few suggestions (some maybe already in Claudia’s closet!) in Part Two of this little Retrospective: Haute Couture 2004-2010 :

1. Dior, 2004 (below)
2. Ungaro, 2004
3. JP Gaultier, 2004






4. Chanel, 2006

5.Givenchy, 2006
6. Chanel 2007










7. Dior, 2007

8. Valentino, 2007

*G* IS FOR GHASTLY BOOK TITLES & COVERS!

Dear readers, I am participating in Ruby Tuesday, Rednesday and Alphabe-Thursday where ‘G’ IS FOR *G*HASTLY, REALLY *G*HASTLY BOOK TITLES & COVERS!
Recently, I’ve been, natch, keeping up with the position of the just-released e-Book format of my psychological suspense novel, The De Clerambault Code (above) which, when I last looked, is still in the TOP 50 psychological thriller category of Amazon’s ebooks! Woohoo! And all profits to charity too! (see sidebar or click
HERE for amazing reviews & further details!)
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, I couldn’t help noticing the titles and dust jackets of other novels listed. Some, I have to say, were strange!
So, I did a little trawl and came up with the following (none in current Top 100 Amazon lists, as far as I’m aware!Apologies if you know the authors!). Which do you find the weirdest? Know of any other biz
arre titles and/or dust jackets? WHICH TITLE AND/OR BOOK COVER DO YOU FIND THE MOST *G*HASTLY? KNOW OF ANY OTHER(S)?
