Often books listed online have a colon in the title, separating the actual title from a description of the book that appears on the book's cover. I went to BN.com and searched for humorous books about fashion. Below you'll find a list of ten post-colon descriptions followed by a list of ten titles. Match them up.

OK, that was distracting and fun despite how horribly I scored (no one has ever accused me of being a clothes horse).
What I found most disturbing about all this, though, was this statement:
I went to BN.com and searched for humorous books about fashion.
Of course, how you spend your free time is your own business. I'm fairly open-minded. I try not to judge. But sometimes the temptation to is just sooooo great...
Can't I just match every single one to American Thighs? :)
It's funnier if you start them all with Liberace:
I got 6. I think anyone who's seen me knows I wouldn't score higher, and that works for me.
Agreed and laughing, Phoenix.
This blog seems to attract like minded people.
I scored 5 which is was more than I expected, as my attitude to fashion is summarized by Like I Give a Frock.
Thanks for a fun distraction, EE.
zilch, nada,
Gee, I guess that I'm out of fashion...
