Claud is taken to the hotel — In Arigni #12

He left the shirt untucked. It was as long as it was baggy, and worn that way had the appearance of an Indian kurta. — #12 The blue shirt was baggy on Claud’s slender torso but felt delightfully crisp and clean as he put it on.

Street Fashion — 5 Addictive YouTube channels

People tell us what they’re wearing and where the clothes were found — In the past few days I’ve become addicted to watching several YouTube channels that all follow a similar, highly-infectious format.

He would need to have words. — The older man was alone in his hotel room. He had heard Jamie shouting into his mobile through the adjoining wall. “What do you mean you are not my fucking Yulia? Who is this?” Then it had got very colourful. Jamie being Jamie when his goat was up. …
