"Let's go see what we can do for a berth for you. I live aboard to keep the expenses down and to do cleaning & maintenance whenever I have a spare min...te. I paid my bill and left a tip, then led the way out to my little honda hatchback. Down at the docks the Walking Liberty looked like the runt of the litter in amongst all the bigger trollers and gill netters. Still, I'd managed to not only keep my head above water but stay solvent enough to pay for regular engine and drive train maintenace,. Remember?"Bonnie thought about their friend Donna. She was always the fourth wheel in their circle, and they all went to her wedding. Unfortunately, her husband's factory closed down, and he had to transfer out west. They still send each other Christmas cards every year."Remember how everyone got blitzed at the reception?"Both of her friends shook their heads with the memory. David had refused to go. He said Donna was her friend and not his, and he didn't feel like sitting around watching all. I never liked the taste of ordinary beer."Sylvia, what brings you here? You have to know this place is like a club, not just anyone gets in," Eddie said."I'm not looking to join, just to have a beer," I said."This is not the place for a hard woman, unless she can go with the flow like these others," he said.I took a look around. The women in the room would have frozen to death, if the temperature in the room dropped twenty degrees. They were all Junkie thin, so on that part I fit in pretty. Cathy whispered in my ear as we were checking out, "Waituntil you wear that pink sweater and that cute skirt with your 50'slook." I knew exactly what she was thinking. The corset will really giveme a profound shape, like every woman wanted in 1950's.We picked up several pairs of nylons and spotted a purse for me too. Iwas tired already with all this shopping, so many decisions!We put all the bags into the car and I was hoping we were leaving. Butno, back into Victoria's Secret for their fashion.
