Jon....my vanity was a big old yellow painted piece of wood furniture with a mirror in the center and drawers on each side with floral pulls and doo dads on the edges, and a yellow bench to match. I guess, in retrospect, it was a pretty hideous item but I thought it was very grown up at the time. I don't know where I got the idea. It was a pretty useless piece of furniture (I'm not the vanity type) but I thought for this character, a vanity would be something she might cling on to as a notion of a more glamorous life. Or not.
