Omg, it's so Ugly Betty'ish! I love that show.
Author's Response: Ves says: Well we can assure you this was in progress long before Ugly Betty. I don’t watch that one myself – but I’ve heard wonderful things and I will take that as a compliment. Thanks so much!rn
rnMyn says: I watch it! I don't think we actually share more than surface similarities, although now I'm tempted to make Josh the Intern gay and fabulous.rn

Oh my god. This story is amazing. AMAZING. I love it. I've abandoned my work for this -- which from an OCD workaholic is a high compliment -- absolutamente funkyadelic story. Just thought you should know.
Author's Response: Ves says: Providing distraction from work. Funny - that's how this story got started! Glad to see it's spreading the slacking!

This is fantastic story! You girls have me chuckling throughout reading this interspersed with guffawing and snorting, so I can tell you I really must look quite a sight when I read this! Case in point - last chapter "You'd no sooner take something that's not yours than... than stick your wand up your nose and sing 'Rule Britannia' in the middle of Diagon Alley while standing on one foot and wearing a clown costume." As I began the sentence I was chuckling, then progressed to a guffaw, and finally ended with a snort.
Can't wait for more of this story. It's definately become a favourite of mine!
Author's Response: Ves says: *grins* This might not be one to covertly read at work. There are too many points to nearly choke yourself trying not to laugh. Glad you are enjoying it!
Myn says: Yay! We like bringing the funny. We do, we do.

I love this story so very much. I love Draco's characterization- he seems so fleshed out and mysterious. Ginny is justplain hilarious and, well the two of them together and I'm laughing until I can't hardly breathe. Keep up the great work and I'm anxiously anticipating the next installment
Author's Response: Ves says: Thanks for the kind words about the characterization. Since this is a longer fic, we have a little more time to really get to know
the characters as they are in the Lush 'verse. Myn, how you like that? I just created our own universe. *is pleased*
Myn says: Does this mean we can start calling ourselves goddesses instead of empresses?
Ves says: *eyes Myn* Chica, there is only room for ONE Empress around here. Feel a yen to be Grand Dame, Duchess or Tsarina?
Author's Response: Myn says: Probably just as well, since the plural of empress
sounds kinda stupid. I guess I'll be a Tsarina when I'm not being a
goddess.

I've just read all ten chapters and I'm hooked. It reminds me of Funny Face, one of my favorite old movies. Like that, this story is perfect. Perfect in every way. Looking forward to more. Huzzah!
Author's Response: Ves says: I seem to have an channeling Audrey Hepburn thing going on here. Someone else mentioned “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. I haven’t actually seen Funny Face so I can assure you any homage is strictly coincidental. Still…funny that two people should mention that vibe.
Myn says: Hey, wait, I've seen Funny Face! Yes! Finally, I know one! Okay, it's been years and it wasn't intentional, but yes, there are similarities. *ponders the likelihood of Draco dancing*

*howls with laughter* tThat's priceless! Poor Johnny, being shot down when he worked up his courage to come ask her out... *snickers*
I'm still standing by my musings from last month, though if that's all it takes to nearly get plot points out of you Myn, I may just start musing your way next time I seen you on MSN. ;) Anyway, embezzelment certainly wasn't the link I was thinking of to throw D & G closer together during the workday. I suppose Carissa would be the obvious suspect, but given the lovely dig at romance novels this chapter (spot on!) I'm going to be more cunning (not) and peg it on Indira, the one who tries to stay out of the way.
Looking forward to the next chapter, though I'm figuring I should be on the lookout after Halloween. It would certainly make a nice birthday treat...
Author's Response: Ves says: Your reviews are one of the highlights of this response process. Inspiring readers to think and wonder what might be around that next bend is the best thing I could hope for as a writer. I will tell you, for it spoils nothing, that you have been eerily right about some things and way out in left field on others (though your ideas would always make for a very interesting story…sometimes I think better than where we are going). Thanks again for the kind and well-thought-out words!!
Myn says: Ack! No, don't press me! If I give away too much of the plot, Ves is going to glue my mouth shut! (When's your birthday, anyway?)

Absolutely brilliant. I love you to pieces for writing this, it's hillarious. I don't think i've ever laughed so hard. I can't wait for the next chapter, so please update soon.

Hmm....It's a really nice story, until now. But I don't get it...why does Draco know SO MUCH about beauty products?....Doesn't it make him seeem a bit....gayish? I know he's a big-Something in a Cosmetics company, but still....well...it's your story...I'm just used to seeing him a bit...Rough...and hot...hehe. I hope you updated sooner. It's been months now...right?...Anyways, goodluck.
Author's Response: Ves says: Err…well it is sort of HIS JOB. And I am sure I am not the only one who always envisioned Draco as rather firmly meterosexual….Myn?
Myn says: Draco's in charge of marketing - he has to know the products in order to be able to sell them. And, well, I've never bought into Draco as a big ol' manly lumberjack type. This is a boy who believes in looking elegant and well-styled, while still remaining secure in his own masculinity and sexuality - just like his dad. I mean, come on, Lucius rocks a frickin' BOW in his hair and is still totally alpha male.

*Yet more flailing*
Stupendous, I love the way Draco interracted with her in this chapter. The Yule Ball date bit was hilarious, and Mister Snuggles gets my vote for best incidental mention of character past. I like to think Bill & Charlie saved up their pocket money and bought him for her.
*Is on tenterhooks*
Author's Response: Ves says: The tenterhooks sound kind painful..unless you like that sort of thing. ;) And hooray for Mister Snuggles!! If only they actually gave out awards for “best incidental mention of a character past”. I love your suggestion…that would have been sweet of them. I hereby proclaim it…Lush Life canon.
