" In a word, we hear she's just a window dresser! That's funny!" (7,7)

Answer must contain a Christian/forename. Some diminutives have been used.

Thanks for any help, Betty

Are the names real or fictitious?
Can you give an example or two of ones you've solved so far?

Some names are real. Some are drawn from fiction in plays, books, films, etc.

e.g.
12. His method of taking temperature is a bit fishy = Kelvin Scale.

80. Comical fellow at the end of his tether = Marmaduke Dog.

I'm asking for help because I've only got 2 to do.

The other one is
79. She was found not guilty but you can see straight through her. (7,5)

Thanks, Betty

Thanks Rossim. I've never heard of Tiffany Innocent so would have taken a very long time to solve that clue.

Did you have any thoughts on the Window Dresser

I'd never heard of her either!
I googled glass and worked backwards from there.

Still thinking about window dresser. I think that must be obscure too as no-one has come forward with any suggestions.

I'm still trying to figure it out as well.
