Is this a good sentence?

[Jonathan Lighter]

I encountrered a receptionist this morning whose dress matched the color of
the printing on her note pad, which matched the color of the pen she was
writing with, which matched the color of the ink.

When I mentioned how impressed I was with her color co-ordination, she
said, "Yes! I _love_ me some purple!"
