"Only the individual taste, in

individual taste may choose, be

basket, will always be based on q
deep personal choice, a spiritual
need that truly assesses and gives
value to that particular ladder or

things is somehow transmitted
through the personality Of the

Most women have an innate
dislike of waste. and fashion
