...want something understated, not too authoritarian, and these bags work perfectly." Happily for Maxwell, her Ultrasuede dresses have been big sellers this year; in her view, Ultrasuede minibags "are just the solution for waste." And for crime. Most minis hardly hold more than mad money and a comb, but when attached to the body they make a difficult target for purse snatchers. And, they simplify the straphanger's life: the commuter with a mini can actually read a book on the way to work. If a woman decides one mini has insufficient cargo space, she can belt...

...were sent out to steal. If we were near a university, they would go into women's dorms and steal purses. If they managed to get an ID and a checkbook, they'd go out as fast as possible to kite the checks."

Stryker thought that the meaning of the pictures was clear, and Evans found the best of them inexhaustibly mysterious." Evans would always let people comb their hair and arrange themselves as they wanted to, for he felt that this was not only the only respectful approach but also the most revealing.

...home appointment. Like the avenues of another decadent empire, all of the loads in Shampoo's Los Angeles lead to George's beauty salon, where George sets the hair of beautiful women and then takes them home to bed. Moving between salon and bedroom, comb and penis, shampoo and sperm, George is the denizen of a bizarre world whose plastic kaleidoscopic glitter Beatty exploits in his farcical look into the sex scene of the L.A. beautiful people...
