    Well, Fess has gone, and Clint is still alive.....which seems to give him the advantage if someone wants to make a film about elderly, retired cowboys....?

    Ms Moe Superstar might welcome help from Madame Missie in helping her into her gowns, [[selected, of course, at private showings) from the latest designs from Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and Ralph Lauren. Alexander Wang and Jason Wu may also have just a little thing or two which would be of interest. House of Style are welcome to any of Ms Moe's gowns, in the unlikely event of them not selling at an auction for charity. At that point, the odour of mothballs which pervades the House of Style will not present too much of a problem.

    I'm still awaiting a response from Ms Moe, Superstar, on the topic of Madame Missie's in-house designers. I can only think that the thought of having involvement with Patula Polyester will have left her speechless. Words probably just aren't enough.....

    Ms Moe Superstar [[being a natural beauty) will be so further excited, as to be completely stifled for speech, when she now learns that Madame Ruugue wants to work on her makeup.

    Now, surely that can't really be THE Madame Ruugue, the famous and most valued assistant to Madame Marie Tussaud?

    Madame Ruuge's skills as a makeup artist must be truly exceptional, still to be found at work when she herself has probably been dead for at least 150 years.

    I wonder if, after all that time, the legendary Madame R. still lives in the Rue Morgue..

    I have this feeling that Ms Moe, Superstar, will be somewhat unsettled to hear 'that nobody has actually seen [[Madame Ruuge) during the day'...and will wholeheartedly wish not to be the first .....
