Response 61: Use the words "style" and "market"

I like to go in style when I go to the market. I put on my blonde wig, red lipstick,

and high heels. Nobody recognizes me, I don't recognize myself...

She was dressed like Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Black dress, pearl necklace, and incredible style. The people in the market blinked when she smiled at them.

Walking amidst the chattering mass of people in the market, I noticed the odd items for sale: skin, hair, teeth, and the scattered offerings of finger and toenails. I stared with satisfaction at my coconut-sized ball of earwax and looked around for the right buyer. I liked these peoples' style.
