P.S. If y'all like, I can give you some factual stuff that I'm basing the stories on ("The Making Of...?") Happily, there is a lingerie store here in LA that functions the same way as the basic concept of DH (though, as you will see, with important differences...) It's called "Trashy Lingerie," and you can see it featured in the music video for the old Go-Gos song "Our Lips Are Sealed.">>>Unfortunately, the character of Alice is based on two real women I'd worked for in two different jobs. Ecccchhhh. The namesake was a half-german, half-japanese girl who was just beyond the pale. I used to refer to her as "The One-Woman Axis."-D
