If you meet a girl who says: 'Darling, what do you mean? Of course I wear suspenders. I've worn them all my life.

There are a couple of things that I'm sure people don't think are important, but I do. I don't like hair changes unless there's a reason for it. Clothing - I don't like to see an outfit worn more than one time in an hour - you can wear it again a few weeks later.
