Silly Snowflake, how could you have missed this vital fact ?

Well, I just got off the phone. The agent is very excited and it lookign forward to the challenge of presenting this. It won't be easy, but she says it is worthwhile. She is, however, by no means letting me off the hook for an updated proposal. But, in talking I now see what she was trying to do for a hook for clueless editors. It is for me to bring up in my introduction how Valentino's influence is still felt today and to cite examples. This I can do.
So, now what I have to do is my introduction, and two sample chapters. But the big news is, she is going to bat for me.
Lashbear, I'd put a photo of you in the book if I could figure out how to work it in!
