beehive

A beehive -- a real one. Snow white and spectacular. Teased magnificently to add at least a foot to the diminuative woman's height.

Big black wrap around sunglasses. The kind you get after going to the eye doctor. The kind that fit over your regular glasses. Looking like big black bug eyes. Alien eyes.

Brown dress. Edged in crisp white piping. Like frosting on a Martha Stewart cookie. Gingerbread woman. Pearly white pastille buttons.

Walking to work. Walking right out of 1965 and into the new century. Up the hill, past the Starbucks and La Salsa. I figure she must work at Carrows or Denny's.

"What'll it be, sugar?"
