Dear Diary,
Oh Gosh! Such a busy day at the boutique! New lingerie arrived this morning so I have spent much of the day dressing and arranging mannequins. My favourite is the Sirena Limited edition. A sophisticated satin and lace matching bra and suspender set in platinum satin with black eyelash lace and bow trim. The heavy satin feels so luxurious and the six-strap suspender belt is a bonus for holding everything in place. I must say that the eyelash trim does tickle sometimes, but I don’t mind that at all!
Doreen, my chief hair stylist, ordered the Jolie Longline Black Bra and suspender belt with a pair of seamed nylon stockings to complete the look. It’s Doreen’s wedding anniversary at the weekend and she’s planning to give her husband Malcom a delightful treat! Lucky chap! I decided gift-wrap the lingerie with a pretty red ribbon and let Doreen take it home without charge. She was absolutely thrilled and so very grateful. It was the least I could do for a loyal friend and stylist. After all Malcolm suffers terribly with shell shock since the War and Doreen does everything she can to keep his spirits up. We must look after our War heroes!
A splendid bouquet of lilies arrived this afternoon, accompanied by a mysterious envelope. Everybody gathered around as Anne-Marie opened the envelope and read aloud the message on the card; “Ladies, I hereby honour my promise to open doors to the silver screen, Best Wishes, Dan XX”. My goodness, there were four cinema guest tickets enclosed for the matinee screening next Wednesday, a wonderfully thoughtful gesture from our new friend, the cine projectionist. Good old Dan, he’s a thoroughly decent chap at heart really. Wednesday is half closing day so we’ll have a jolly staff outing at the flicks! I quite fancy seeing that new film noir picture starring Orson Welles, “The Third Man”.
