"Why am I covered in feathers?"
"Bella you're exaggerating."
"Alice I feel like a chicken. How many birds are running around naked so I can wear this?"
"It's just a boa. You can't wear this dress without it."
"Why not I don't remember flappers wearing boas?"
"Were you around in the twenties?"
"No but I thought they wore hats and dresses with fringey things on them."
