Dear Blog Guy,
I’m a crook who happens to be a woman, and nobody seems to care if we have anything fashionable to wear. We enjoy looking nice too, you know, and I think I should have options other than a darned stocking mask. Do I have to break into a designer shop and put something together for myself?

No, Rita, it looks as though the fashion industry is finally starting to notice our important criminal element, as you can see with this creation from Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

Note the chic mask and the high collar for confusing witnesses in line-ups. Also note the outfit is designed to be at its best from the side, so your mug-shots will always be elegant.
