Do women really pay at

dislike about fashion?
We asked several women
about the subject and what
they had to say was provoca-
tive.
American men are funny,
implied one. They give you
a compliment on how you
look in a manner which
makes women feel they want
to get it over with as quickly
as possible.
European Custom

how chic your dress is. He
talks the language of fashion
with a lot more assurance
and uses it as conversational
equipment in his relationships
with women" was the next
assertion.
Apparently, European or
American, men do have an
effect on the fashion lives Of
their women.

that has an off-the-shoulder

I think it helps me to have

Having lived abroad for

you have to know what
