i'm curious whether you have ever had a conversation with your mam about her intention in entering you and your other, i guess, in those pageants. You describe putting together a beauty salon in your friend's back yard. So this was, clearly, it just kept showing up in bigger and bigger ways. I will never forget trolling around the neighborhood knocking on doors, asking the other girls in the coalde sack to lend us some cardboard boxes so that we could build our little dividers between our nail division,.You know, now nail salon and then the hair on. It really was something special when i look back on it.
