Okay, Glamour Girl admits that despite Donatella Versace’s absolute freak-o-rama of a face (pic below) and tendency to over-do it in the bling department, trending at times towards tacky (but then, so many, ahem, sought-after designers do this as a matter of course), her house still puts out some beautiful clothes, especially grand gowns.

For years now, the devils on Glamour Girl’s shoulder have been threatening the angels of her better nature with a little trip up north. Not far, mind you, but just far enough to get in trouble.
