She had decided she would wear the beautiful Chinese brocade gown, in the style of the empress of old. She had ordered the gown from the famous Shanghai tailor. to be delivered a week before the event. The package arrived with only the camisole. Furious, she called the tailor, who nonchalantly replied, “A dress with the greatest impact, Lady Godiva.”
For two months Lai Chan had been preparing for the biennial competition Mother Queen. I was her consultant, commenting on the different hair styles, makeup, clothes, shoes, and her practiced smiles, walks, and turns.

Lady Godiva rode naked, covered by her mane of long hair for decency. Lai Chan would definitely make an impact if she wore just a camisole. Bet she'd win the Queen's crown.

Many thanks Sue. Look at Hollywood stars - they are competing to be 'the less is the best' winner!

Let's hope the weather is kind. As for the tailor - if she's named Queen she should try 'Off with his head!'

Hi Sandra we'll invite the Queen of Hearts. She's excellent with "off with his/her head' commands. Comments are closed.
