My Name is Shaw Puhallic and I have a confession

Back when I lived in LA I spent a lot of time at Scribners near my job. One day I found a book that suited me to a T. It was Called Confessions Of A Shopaholic. For the past half decade I have found a kindred sprit in Rebecca Brandon nee Bloomwood. I have found her smart and savvy and a slave to all good fashion. She is how I learned of TopShop and Josephs.
When news broke last year it was being turned into a movie I was elated. When US had a photo from Isla Fisher on set in some crazy outfit I was floored. Becky Brandon would not approve not in the least. The frock she had on was like a circus tightrope walker on acid, poufy, tacky and not chic. Its as if they are making her Carrie Bradshaw and only SJP can do CB.
From that one picture I am saddned and deflated. Isla fisher is not Becky Brandon, and Becky Brandon was not tacky. I still might see it. I'll wait for the trailers and pray not to have a seizure from flashes of bright fabric and bad outfits.
