That's really an interesting point, Lisa. Do you think Isaac knows his audience? He's such a talent but Liz is for middle aged ladies, none of whom could or would (I hope) wear anything like the polka dot dress. The other looks could work, depending.

I described that polka dot dress to the hubbo. "Is it a clown costume?" he wanted to know. He was serious. My sister said "It's sort of weird - Liz Claiborne with a little style. He did very well for Target, he might do well for Liz. I haven't bought Liz in years, but it always did last a long time."
