Ellen Byerrum’s Crime of Fashion Mysteries to Air on Lifetime Movie Network.

PRLog (Press Release) - May 26, 2009 -
Among Lifetime Movie Network's Original Movies debuting in June 2009 are two murder-mystery movies based on Ellen Byerrum's popular Crimes of Fashion mysteries novels Killer Hair (June 21) and Hostile Makeover (June 28).   These Crime of Fashion mysteries star a savvy, stylish sleuth: Lacey Smithsonian, a reluctant fashion reporter in Washington D.C., "The City Fashion Forgot."  Lacey Smithsonian would rather be working "hard news," but her nose for nuance, eye for a great story, and talent for getting into trouble make her the right reporter for the Crimes of Fashion beat. In her vintage suits and killer heels, she trips over fashion clues, fabulous shoes, dangerous women, drop-dead men, and of course the occasional corpse (who wouldn't be caught dead dressed like that).
   
Ellen and her fictional creation Lacey Smithsonian share a love for vintage clothes, a balcony overlooking the Potomac River, and a humorous viewpoint on life, love, mystery, fashion, and the wild and wacky world of Our Nation's Capital.

The all-star cast includes Mark Consuelos (Hope & Faith), Maggie Lawson (Psych), Mario Cantone (Sex and the City) and Mary McDonnell (Dances with Wolves, TV's Battlestar Galactica).
