'Q' is for...??

Yesterday's 'P' word was 'Patronization.'  That was a tough one for me to write about.  Thanks for your guesses!

Today's 'Q' prompt word is depicted by a character in the excerpt below.  See if you can guess what personal attribute  I've described that begins with 'Q'.  Can't wait to read your comments!  And remember, Jessica Bell is working with the same prompt words as I am this A-Z Blogfest.  There's a link to her blog below.

Here goes:


“I’m so glad you’re here, Sara!” Libby squealed, yanking her friend into the apartment.  “I simply can’t decide who to wear to the party.”  She led Sara down the narrow corridor and into the tight confines of her bedroom.

“Well,” Sara said, perched on the edge of the bed, “It’s casual…”

“Right.”  Libby rubbed her chin and looked thoughtfully into her closet.  She pulled out a pink mohair sweater with a second hanger hooked behind it, so that a pink and black plaid skirt dangled below the sweater’s hem.  “What about Charlotte?”

“Charlotte?”

Libby held the outfit up a little higher.  “Yes, right here.  Hello?”

Sara stared at the clothes with a look of confusion on her face.

“You’re right,” sighed Libby.  “Charlotte went to the Robert twins’ party three weeks ago. She’d be recognized, n’est-ce pas?  Ooh!  I know.”  She reached back into the closet.  “What about Zandra?  She’s a hoot at parties!”

Sara’s eyes traveled from the sleeveless, zebra-striped mini-dress to Libby’s animated face, and simply shook her head.  “You are the kookiest friend I have,” she said with a giggle.

“Aw!  Thanks, Sara!"  She held the dress up to herself.  "So…Zandra comes to the party with us?”



Any ideas what 'Q' word prompted this scene?  And after guessing in the comments, please shoot over to Jessica's blog to see what creative excerpt she's come up with based on our word-of-the-day!  See you over there!

Quirky?

LTM said...

Why am I thinking quandary???? I like quirky better. :)

Matthew MacNish said...

This is Questionable, because a zebra-striped mini-dress is a fashion no-no.

Mary Aalgaard said...

Quirky.

Vicki Rocho said...

I had no clue (Q is sooo not my strong letter) but I'm going to hitch a ride on the quirky bandwagon

Someone who names her clothes can only be . . . QUIRKY!!! =D

(I name my furniture. Do I qualify? LOL!)

Laura S. said...

Quirkiness!

Unknown said...

She has names for her outfits? That is so funny, but funny begins with F so I'm going to go with quirky.

Amy Wood said...

I have to go with quirky. Great story! Love the idea of someone doing that!

Marjorie said...

Quirky seems like the proper word, but who knows what I'll say when I get over to Nicole's blog.

Marjorie said...

I meant Jessica's blog.

Rebecca Gomez said...

Quirk.

Kittie Howard said...

Quirky? But she seems like a Queen.
