Newspaper Makeovers...


Dear Readers (if you exist),

Greetings during these lazy, hazy long days of summer. It has been a long time since I had a decent shoe dream. I don't know about you, but I get quite bored waiting for these to occur to me. I've been reading a lot of fashion magazines to try and prompt my imagination, but all I keep dreaming about are places in Greece, places in Spain and all the spas in Budapest. Humbug!

So I've decided to start a new, and more guaranteed regular, feature of my blog: our weekly makeover doodles on Globe and Mail columnist Warren Clements' portrait.

Every Saturday, I get together with a group of friends (also pictured; B-- missing because she is away on a bicycle in Jutland) to do the Fraser Simpson cryptic crossword in the newspaper. Before we begin, we always give neighbouring columnist Warren Clements, of word nerd fame, a new 'do.
