Aaahhhhhlllllright!!!

Sounds like a fun time, and knowing that it takes a pretty cool soul

to hit it off with 15 yr old girls, sounds to me like you REALLY got

those brownie points goin!!!

Frizz Ease is MY friend!!! I couldn't get by without it and I'm

surprised she didn't know about it by now, lol. I thought it was a

regular household product.

told me that all she's talked about since then was how much fun

it was and how good my choices were and how she couldn't WAIT till 2

weeks from now. I told her we were shopping for bottoms, bras (that

child wears a freaking D cup!) and shoes--she had enough tops for a

bit! Her friend was already trying to figure out how to get enough

money for what she wanted--lol.

Now if I make it through taking 2 15 yr olds shopping then I will

claim the throne as the bestest damn girlfriend--and will be demanding

a very NICE gift for my birthday later this year! LOL

It really was fun and it helps that she had so much fun--I think

she'll start begrudging the time he and I spend together less.

Girl...her DAD never did her hair! He always paid someone to do

it--and with her being biracial she has a lot of different needs to

deal with. She also asked about a beautician that dealt with " black

hair " --her hair would be considered in that category and she realizes

that it has to be dealt with differently. So...I'm going to ask

someone I know about HER beautician--Candace wants straight hair and

doesn't know how to do it on her on. The Frizz Eaze was sooooooo

needed--that child's hair needs help!!!!!! LOL
