They were always red or heart themed, I remember one pair of red leather gloves I loved to bits. She’d make heart shaped pancakes and send us [...]

New wig! On the way home from cake times I stopped in a wig shop. It was filled with some pretty fabulous Oakland ladies, and a tiny wee girl who sat with me at the boudoir table and asked all sorts of questions about why anyone would have wigs. She also let me know that [...]
