NB,
An erudite and visual review it is - well done!!! In fact, so compelling a
review, I have just interrupted this post to whip out the well rubbed Visa card
and order it. Add to your timepiece reference the fact that I have been
collecting feet fotos for a feetsheet, and, voila - kismet - karma. Whatever.
Also, I am admittedly an Alison Knowles groupie.
On the timepiece reference, Count Vladimir de Mews Russian Blue has chosen Roger
"Radio" Stevens as the next victim, and I shall begin manipulation on him this
very weekend. I mean, embellishments to his visage (she said, chortling and
rubbing her hands with glee).
Bless,
PK
