It's kind of a wakeup call to realize that there is enough demand for laundresses that you can find one with that specific experience and excellent references.
OTOH, a really rich and fairly powerful man was just randomly in my office, and I bet his family has a laundress!
I just can't imagine enough clothes so that the laundress would be properly occupied.
Speaking of clothes, just bought a couple things from Ann Taylor Loft. Still don't have much that fits. But I will prevail, non-nakedly.
Timelies all!
Congrats Billytea and Biyi!

With our family, I could probably keep a laundress/launderer(?) pretty busy. I'd sure as hell have the dog beds washed every week and keep up better on our bed linens.
Martini!
Maker's mark, and one for Jilli!
