designs.”
    â€œI thought the orange makeup really wentwell with every outfit,” Sophia said. “In fact, that’s going to be the focus of the article: ‘Why can’t we wear different colors of makeup if we feel like it?’”
    â€œThat’s what I’m saying!” Deirdre said.
    Everyone laughed—including Nicole.
    That night everyone connected with the fashion show met at Nancy’s favorite pizza parlor for dinner. They took up several tables.
    In the middle of the meal, Nicole stood up and said, “I want to apologize to everyone for the things I did. I hid the designs, I hid the clothing, I hid the personal belongings of the other models, and I substituted the orange makeup for the regular makeup. It’s just a light shade of orange until the runway lights hit it, and then it turns really bright!” She looked at Juliana. “I’m sorry. I was angry that you didn’t use my mother’s designs—because she’s a wonderful designer.”
    â€œOh, Nicole!” Juliana said. “I
am
going to useyour mother’s designs!” She shook her head. “It’s just that I’ve been so busy getting ready for the River Heights show, I hadn’t said anything about it.”
    â€œJuliana! Mother will be so happy!” Nicole said. “I’m so sorry. That was
very
unprofessional of me!” She smiled. “But I think the River Heights models were as professional as any models I’ve ever seen.” She turned to Felicity, Elizabeth, Marissa, and Cory. “Don’t you agree?”
    This time, they all nodded and smiled.
    â€œOh, I just knew this was my career!” Deirdre said.
    â€œWell, I never thought about a career in modeling,” Nancy said, “but it really was fun!”
    â€œI have an idea,” Nicole said. “Anytime you want to come to New York, you can stay with me and my mother, and we’ll take you to some of the famous fashion houses.”
    Deirdre gasped. “Do you think when they see me they’ll want me to model for them?”
    â€œYou never can tell,” Nicole said.
    â€œHere’s to a successful fashion show—and a successfully solved case,” toasted Juliana.
    Everyone cheered.

D-I-Y Design
    You’re going to become a famous fashion designer and hit the catwalk!
    You will need :
    Paper
    Colored pencils
    Magazines and catalogs for inspiration
    Let’s get started!
    Sketch a body template onto a blank sheet of paper. Make as many photocopies of this template as you want so you don’t have to redraw it when you make a new design.
    With the colored pencils, create a variety of outfits. You can draw them all for one season (like fall) or for one activity (like ballet).
    When you’ve finished, print or sign your nameon the design so that people will know you are the designer.
    Finally, tape up the designs around your room, and invite family or friends to see your latest collection!
    Be creative. Draw the kinds of clothes you want to wear yourself!
