Language pals: I need a word/ short phrase that combines sneakiness, shamelessness & stealing. Context: a teenage girl from a poor family who uses shop samples to do her makeup, and so often that the sales assistants know her – so it also needs to be feminine-skewed. TIA!

Translators . . . the full program for @littranslate.bsky.social's annual conference is here! See all the panels, workshops, readings, and more that are planned for #ALTA49 -> literarytranslators.org/wp-content/u... #translation #xl8

Received the author's feedback. She is *very* happy & has made a few mostly minor suggestions. Plus she answered my questions (though I don't guarantee there won't be any more!)

Now I just need to update the file with all changes, run electronic checks, & deliver.
