ksmithI find the following interesting on so many levels:

In a small world like high fashion, did Davies really believe that she would really get away with cribbing conversations from the works of others and not be found out? That word wouldn't have gotten back to the fashionistas with whom she'd allegedly spoken?
If it turns out that she did pad that proposal, I hope she hasn't spent too much of that $900,000 advance.

I think it's evidence of a need to invent alternate realities because the current one needs a lot of work. Because for some folks, it's boring. For others, it's inconvenient. And the energy invested in believing in these alternate realities leaves that much less that's available to invest in fiction.
Lunchtime seat-of-the-pants philosophizing. Back to work...
