Been awhile since I visited Lacey Smithsonian, fashion editor of the Washington Eye newspaper, in Washington DC, the land that fashion forgot. This time around, she's doing a story on a community sale of old theater costumes (it seems that DC has an active theater scene, who knew?). A co-worker falls in love with a dramatic read dress and purchases it. Unfortunately, a fight breaks out when the stage manager from the theater tries to get the dress back. It seems that it's rather famous, local actresses wear it to the Helen Hayes (the local Tony's) each year and it should not have been sold. The fight that ensues leads LaTonya, the new owner, gives the dress to Lacey to 'remove the voodoo' with her EFP: Extra Fashionary Perception. The dress proves to carry many secrets. the company that sold it is run by Russian Emerges, which forces Lacey to call in her 'friend' Kepelov, his sister Olga, and his fiance, the psychic Marie. Together, they realize the dress leads to some dangerous places, especially after the bodies start falling. ( )
