nailing it
I’m going to Vancouver tomorrow, so I decided on my drive home I ought to doll it up a little , and get my nails done. Nice french manicure, very understated, will read smart, sexy, and preened when I see some attendees tomorrow night at my work event.
The place I’ve been going to for over 10 years, since before I went to college is Nancy’s Nail Spa on 5th and PCH in Hermosa Beach. I had a bit of hiatus from the place, living up in LA for a number of years, but it’s still my favorite nail salon that I’d visit on the weekends to buffer the family visit. It’s the type of place where when I walk in, Nancy greets me in her Vietnamese accent instantly and asks about my parents. Why is it so cool when people ask about your parents? I’m getting old.
Anyhow, if you’re a girl (or a guy) who frequents nail salons, you’ll understand how bitchy Vietnamese manicurists can be. I’ll never forget going to a place in Hollywood with my friend Becca, where the woman not only charged an unbelievable rate, but yelled at me to stop laughing because she was inept and moving like a sloth giving me the most mediocre manicure ever.
So, today’s visit was particularly funny. After soaking, cutting, buffing and all the other usual repetoire of manicuring, my lady squirted the lotion on my wrists to proceed with the BEST part of the manicure - the massage. God damn I love this part.
Yo skin so soft!
Really?
Is like bebby hands. Oh my gaw, soooo soft!
Ok, well I guess. I’ve heard this from a few people. I prefer to think it’s because of my elitist bourgeoisie lifestyle, but really I’m sure it’s some genetric freak thing. Yes, this is where God decided to give me an advantage , soft hands.
Well, thanks? I guess that’s a good thing. (Smile awkwardly)
Yo bofren mus like. Such soft hands.
Um, if I had one, I guess.
No bofren? Wha?
Um no, not right now.
Is impossible. Your hans so soff!
At this time the three other manicurists are in awe as well. Including Nancy, who says I must be picky.
Ok, well I never thought soft hands were on the top of the list for things that drive men crazy about women, but hey — not bad. I’ll take it!
