| A Catseye exclusive - One of Miss Krux's camisoles |
|
|
| A feminine look that has proven surprisingly durable in a hostile environment |
A new reporter who has joined our regular staff, Catseye, has gone through
an amazing ordeal to bring us the photo material. Not only did she show a persuasiveness that is worthy of Miss Krux when
she talked the dry cleaner into letting her take the pictures, she also fought off barbarians, amazons, and a pack of bad-tempered
raptors on her way back from the Plateau. Yes, our reporters are true heroes. Especially considering that they all have day
jobs, since we stay true to our policy never to pay our staff. The honor to be part of this now legendary endeavor has to
be enough!

Catseye's interview with the dry
cleaner provided the following information.
Marguerite Krux has two
styles of camisoles she favors:
The first style is a thin strapped, boned camisole with underwire support, which hooks in the back. The model is white with a charming lace overlay that is accented with pale peach flowers. The camisole is double-layered.
The second style is a
non-boned camisole that hooks in front. It is white with a lace and ribbon
overlay (see up close detailed picture) and is double-layered.
The dry cleaner pointed
out that he has a special technique to remove stains, e. g. blood or dirt. He insists that this technique has been handed
down in his family for decades and that he didn't need any fancy inventions of Professor Challenger to satisfy his customers.
Further investigation into this matter pending.
| Catseye has more - Marguerite's hat |
|
|
| Chic and durable, form and function in perfect harmony |
The Zanga Mall dry cleaner is also taking care of the explorers' fetching
head gear. As you can see in this before and after photo Miss Krux's hat has to endure some tough times, but after a day at
the dry cleaner it's as good as new.
Catseye pointed out to us that the hat is not black, as some style columnist have written,
but rather a dark brown.
| Lord Roxton's hat |
|
|
| One of several models he took on the expedition - he tends to loose his hats frequently |
Catseye described Roxton's hat
as a very attractive model (was she really talking about the hat we wondered...), the color is a dark, brownish-khaki with
a wide pale khaki ribbon. She drew our attention to the extra padding inside
the hat, which rests against the forehead. Obviously Lord Roxton takes special care to make sure that his hat has
a comfortable fit. Understandably so, considering how long he wears it on some of his hunting trips.
Our intrepid journalist Catseye has promised to do
a return trip to the Plateau to get more photos from the Zanga dry cleaner. She recklessly risks her life for a scoop. We
like that type of reporter!
