...hero of You Look Nice Today is Robert Harbert, "Harb" to his pals. Harb is executive vice president of corporate process and procedure at the Global Fiduciary Trust Co., and he's a relatively generic specimen of the common suit: 44, nice guy, weak chin, happily married. Harb's troubles begin when he hires an attractive assistant named CaroleAnne. Over the next few years, it emerges that CaroleAnne, while quite good at her job, is in fact a nutcase.

When the van door opened, she was shoved out and fell head-first on the ground, gashing her chin. Her jeans ripped as she was dragged through the doors of the station. The sisters ultimately sued, prompting the police to retaliate by charging them for assault and drunkenness. A €udge denounced this as "disgraceful" and threw out the charges. The sisters went on to the high court, but eventually...
...Confident, outspoken and deceptively bold, Kitagawa turns out to be the embodiment of her characters?ladies who can take it on the chin and still look good in a skirt (and who are often accompanied by blue-collar stiffs with sensitive, yearning souls).
