She Cleans Up Nicely | |
| Powder and Patch / int_2740531a | comment |
She Cleans Up Nicely: Subverted as here it is the man who is condemned for being provincial and in need of acquiring some town polish. Used to comedic effect, as he cleans up very nicely, which leads to the Be Careful What You Wish For. | |

| Powder and Patch / int_f3d84bc4 | comment |
