Don’t stain, cellophane!

Let’s say you wear a brand new dress out to dinner at a five-star restaurant, but you get into a food fight and wind up with creme brulee all over it. It’s ruined, huh? But check out this product  that protects your dress as if it were a new sofa in your own living room!

These plastic wraps, called “Bags for your Rags,” will let you wear designer dresses for many years to come, the way high fashion was meant to be enjoyed. Just remember to  untie the ribbon and breathe once in a while. Isn’t it about time to treat your dresses the way you treat your new lampshades?

Lacy was dying for a smoke until she lit up and lit up and died for a smoke.

ALMOST a logical palindrome.

I wondered where old bags came from.
