It was supposed to be only a temporary job -- something to pay the bills until Dusty could get his feet back on the ground and raise enough money for medical school. After all, there's nothing wrong with being a bellboy at a respectable hotel like the Manton -- that is, until she came along.

Marcia Hillis. The perfect woman. Beautiful. Experienced. Older and wiser. The only woman to ever measure up to that other her -- the one whose painful rejection Dusty can't quite put from his mind.

But while Dusty has designs on Marcia, Marcia has an agenda of her own. One that threatens to pull the Manton inside-out, use Dusty up for all he's worth and leave him reeling and on the run, the whole world at his heels.

A richly-imagined crime narrative of the Oedipal and betrayal, A Swell-Looking Babe is Thompson at his very best -- a cornerstone in Thompson's enduring legacy as the Dimestore Dostoyevsky of American fiction.

Need more in different styles!

This ring watch is perfect! The face on it isn’t as big as all the other ring watches; which is why I chose it! I wanted something more dainty, as I have small fingers and hands. This ring is shiny, and the little crystals sparkle so nicely! The band doesn’t pinch, and I can wear it on multiple fingers. Easy to set and has kept time so far. Would recommend!

My picky husband approves of it.
Color: Two Tone - Cobalt Blue
Nice quality. Fits the right amount of slots for cards. Not too big or bulky. The wallet is very nice with the built in anti theft to protect your personal information. The clip on the side makes it perfect for cash only transactions. It is a nice front pocket wallet. Came in a nice tin can as well. The blue on blue that I got is my favorite one. My picky Husband approves as he loves front pocket wallets.

Close, but no cigar
Color: Pop Color - Navy/Red
Most of the features I wanted. Not quite as slim as I though and the mag money clip does hold enough bills, at least for me. I will use it for a while.
