Deli Girl
November 08, 2006

So I was in The Grocery Store the other day - just, you know, browsing. And while I was leaning over picking an acorn squash I got tapped on the shoulder.

"Hi. Remember me?"

"Hi. Gosh, I am sorry, I don't... wait... Deli Girl?"

"Yep! It's me!"


She was stunning. Glowing.

No moustache.

No mullet.

And beautiful brown hair.

I was transported back in time and staring at a Pantene model, hair all swingy and glowy.

And she had the most darling baby girl in her arms.


"I know it's a bit shocking. Trust me, sometimes I don't even recognize myself. But I got a husband, I got rid of the wierd, and I got myself this beautiful baby."

"Well you seem so very happy. And you look fabulous. But I hope you kept just a little bit of wierd. We all need to keep a little bit of the wierd."

"Oh I've still got the wierd, but a girl can only sport a mullet for just so long, you know?"


I do, indeed.

Moustache?

good for deli girl. I accidently dyed my hair electric pink a couple of years ago (I was going for fire engine red) and believe it or not, I made more tips with my hair pink. Plus, my customers were able to remember me. "I want the waitress I had last time. The one with the pink hair." Hope her business doesn't suffer cuz she lost some of the weird.

Well blow me down! What a pleasant surprise. Go Deli Girl!

Never thought I would say that...

Ah, these wild and crazy kids. One day they're dying their hair green and talking with a British accent and the next, they've turned into upright citizens. Who knew? Anyway, good for Deli Girl. Sounds like her life is taking a turn for the better.

And, at least a mullet or pink hair is clearly reversible. The ones I worry about are the 20-something coffee baristas with 47 piercings, face tattoos, and those giant earlobe-stretching rings. That stuff is not going to age gracefully when they hit 40 - you can only cover so much with a suit and a good haircut.....
