a conversation at ford models, inc

alice: "oh hi, gwen (my coworker). how are you?"
gwen: "i'm alright - kind of worried about my mom. she's having hip replacement surgery today"
alice: "right. i'm sure she'll be fine..."
gwen: "yeah, she will. she always goes all out before a surgery. you know, full make up, bikini wax, mani/pedi....the works"
alice: "um....really....?"
gwen: "yeah! she figures, when else do you have a room full of men focused entirely on you!?"'
