Josh:
Well, I'm glad that was what you were looking for then.

The description is fun, don't let me give you the impression that it isn't. It definetely puts across Lola's voice, which is especially important in first person stories. But yea, description can be seeded throughout the action as it becomes important for the reader to know, rather than making the story top-heavy with sensory details.

Can't really give any advice on character names. I threw in my two bits over on the thread about character naming and its importance in writing a story. My take is that a character can be renamed during any point of the writing or revising process, and that it shouldn't be something that trips up the storytelling (unless the character's name is important to the plot somehow). So, keep writing the story and come back and change the names should you decide to do so.

And yea, I know and love that feeling of writing something that is truly fun to have thought up. You can almost hear the reader snort, giggle, or gasp when they come across that line in the future. Best of luck.
