[A Cut Above,
Entry Parlor]
A plush spiral weave carpet of soft earth tones covers the floor of this area,
off-white walls reaching up to the soaring ceiling above. In the lofty heights
are crystal chandeliers set with a multitude of glowing candles, their light
drifting down to leave no corner shrouded in darkness. An exquisitely crafted
gold-veined white marble table sits against the far wall, flanked on either side
by tall silbein trees. Two crystal archways can be seen to the left and the
right, one a sky blue, the other a pale rose. A note which you should probably
read hangs above the table.
You also see a small white parchment note encased in a glass frame, a sweeping
white marble staircase and a set of stained glass doors.
You see no obvious exits here.
A small white parchment note encased in a
glass frame reads:
******************************************************
* Male Fashions are through the sky blue archway *
* Female Fashions are through the pale rose archway. *
* The staircase leads to my consultation loft,
*
* where I will, from time to time, assist the needy *
* in becoming fashion conscious.
*
* Need evaluated on a case by case basis.

This tastefully appointed waiting room has a very large pit couch covered in
luxurious velvety cream-colored xarloa fronted by a round coffee table covered
with a menagerie of hors d'vours and drinks. Sheer ivory silk drapes with
delicate keystone embroidery lend a subtle elegance to the area, allowing
patrons to view the nighttime festivities outside. An elegant white railing
separates the loft from the entry below, a sweeping marble staircase allowing
patrons to travel back and forth. A large screen sections off one part of the
room.
You also see a price chart, a well camouflaged trash bin and an alteration list.
You see no obvious exits here.
