I changed my signature; "a reader" seemed too generic. Miranda Gaw made up the nickname "Nanette Elfstocking," Kaveri called it a stroke of genius, so that's my new signature. Or pseudonym. "Elfstocking" has to do with our shared love of socks, especially thigh-highs, especially stripey thigh-highs. It was Miranda who introduced me to the store Sock Dreams. Nanette, I don't know.
