New Hair Trends, maybe

This past week the girls were in a charity fashion show. One of Jana's friends designed and made each item. They had been rehearsing for weeks. It ate up a lot of time after school. They were so happy to have it over with.
They went to the mall and had their hair done. Maren said they had to do hers twice and it was so painful.
The makeup was very dramatic.
When they had some down time they got out their sidewalk chalk. They really are Super Girls!

Need help with your Christmas shopping?

You can find just about anything you might need along the streets here. The traffic is pretty bad so they combine shopping and driving. Need some new trousers? I think it must be one size fits all. Those above look huge for a local!
Some lovely dresses. I'm amazed out how stylish the ladies are here.
Yes, boxers in all colors. Sorry the pictures are so blurry, they walk along the side of the cars and we are told not to have anything of value in sight. I have seen cookware, washclothes, lamps, rugs, baby walkers, blow up mattresses, nail clippers, crackers, popcorn ,DVD players, lots of DVD's and music CD's. I'm sure that they're not illegally downloaded. One of the girls friends bought King Kong movie and it had the newest picture on the front but when he got home it was a really bad animation from the 70's.
Fans? Or how about a balloon bouquet. You may be wondering how you pay for things. You roll down the window and barter the price first and of course that is when the traffic picks up and the poor kid has to chase you down. Hopefully you have the correct change so he doesn't have to try to pull out all his loose bills in his sweaty pocket. I have only bought one thing off the street so far.
