* Barbie *
The whole day before the celebration was spent in all the salons Erich and I had to go through. Instead of staying home and thinking about the woman Tom is bringing to the mansion tonight, I figured it would be alright to indulge Erich and go out with her to make ourselves beautiful. I was supposed to wonder why we need to do this, this is not a debut or anything like that.
"Wow! Barb, you look amazing! I was right to have them put some wave on your straight dark blond hair. That would add volume and make it look prettier on you."
I look at my reflection in the mirror and realize how my face has changed after just a few touches of my hair. It's a natural straight and I never styled it like it is now. But Erich is right, it looked good on me.
"Thanks, Erich, your hair is lovely too!"
She smiled and then we paid the salon but she insisted on charging it to her account and refused my card. "Oh please Erich, you didn't have to do that."
