Apparently the bit about wearing dresses so tight she had to take mincing steps when she walked is plagiarized from http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/classics/root/1.html --arkuat (talk) 00:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

- Root also became known for her dramatic wardrobe, which featured hats, purple dresses and high collars. Gladys Towles Root wore dresses so tight she had to take mincing steps when she walked. She loved to drape herself in furs and cover herself with sequins. Her hats were famously gigantic and so was her jewelry. Under those hats, her hair was often colored a gaudy hue to match her outfits, with Mercurochrome and Easter egg dye. A cloud of perfume always drifted in her wake.[citation needed]
