Where in the world was Joanne?

Joanne clearly has some shifts to make up after her extended vacation, as she was on again tonight.

I wasn't quite sure about the overall affect of her outfit. A blue jacket, fairly standard, but underneath she wore what looked pretty much like a vest. In fact, it looked like the sort of vest that is the top half of thermal underwear. Perhaps she was more adventurous than we supposed, and went to Antarctica for her holiday?

This hypothesis was, however, undermined by her necklace. She wore one of those jobbies that is a simple necklace, but with strings of other beads hanging down from the main circle in strands (I'm sure our jeweller can supply us with a more technical term?). The beads themselves were vaguely circular, and of golden and bronze hue.

Actually, the necklace seemed very Cleopatra. Which begs the question: where Joanne go on holiday? Perhaps a world tour?

Well, TM, we have a problem. I have no idea what that, um, thing that she wore around her neck is actually called. I do know that it would have looked better if worn with a plain summer dress. Cramming 50 beads into a space where only one, if not none belongs is disturbing on the eye. I think now is the time to introduce the phrase ‘Less is more’.

I do know that it was something along the lines of what on this website (http://images.google.co.za/imgres?imgurl=http://www.touchofheavengifts.com/Web_fanciful_necklace2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.touchofheavengifts.com/jewelry-black-and-white.html&h=426&w=320&sz=56&hl=en&start=175&um=1&tbnid=U2BasXc6HhNj-M:&tbnh=126&tbnw=95&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbeaded%2Bnecklaces%26start%3D162%26ndsp%3D18%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26sa%3DN ) is called, wait for it...yes...Black and White Sophistication. I have written to them to ask for their definition of 'sophistication'. We might have some more insight once I have received their reply.

Have you had a response yet? I don't know if I'll be able to make it through the weekend without knowing!
