Microfiction Monday #61 ~Dress for Success




Dressing up to do the laundry may seem silly, but in these days of high unemployment, Edna knew she could be replaced by a hungry supermodel.





Posted for Microfiction Monday over at Stony River, with thanks to the G-Man and friends for introducing me to the game.

    Hungry super-models don't do laundry - or cook, or clean house, or drive the kids to school, or... just what in the heck makes them 'super' anyway?

    Ha! Good one. From looking at them, it seems all the supermodels could use a good meal.

    A girl has to look good just to keep her spirits up while laboring over a washboard never mind someone elbowing her out of a job! Good one!

    Thanks everyone--enjoyed the many different takes on a simple prompt with only 140 characters allowed, as always, some of which were hilarious and all of which were fun.
