Cosmetic case of Violet Thomas
"like the red-headed stepdaughter" – An outcast. (That's a weird one. Google revealed several possible back-stories but nothing conclusive. All the possible back-stories were also kind of weird.)That's my list. What've you got?
"sewed up like Betsy Ross" – Squared away. Done did. (I love this one.)
"crawfish" – The verb form meaning to "back out of". (I assume this is a reference to the way a threatened crawfish will skedaddle backwards out of trouble.) As in, "This guy crawfished on me. I've got to get a replacement."
I HUNT WHITE TAILIt was on the back of a large pickup truck driven by a paunchy middle-aged man. A tired-looking woman rode in the passenger seat.

Somebody option that story. I smell a date movie!
"This place is lousy with hipsters. Let's go to the Brothers Three instead."Lice infestation as metaphor—what could be better?
Recycle: Nope, nada. There hasn't been any recycling since the storm. Cans, bottles, absurdly erroneous Road Home rejection letters—they're all just trash.Last night we hauled various unwanted items out to the curb. Within five minutes, a truck had stopped, and a man was stripping plumbing from the old, battered sink. The work crew down the street snagged an old door. By morning, the pile was picked clean. Anything that might be of value to someone somewhere was gone.
Reduce: Well, a lot of us have a lot less stuff than we used to. Does that count?
Reuse: Ding! Ding! Ding! This is where we really excel.
Louise: If I was a bird, I'd be a parrot.
