The Clean And The Cleaner

The Clean wear glittering, low-backed
evening dresses designed to
boast perfect skin

The Cleaner dress in muted lavenders
greys
not because they are, in fact,
muted
but because they know
it is better to be a
wallflower
than a sunflower,
or a rose

And the
Cleaner
know better
than
anyone
