***** Amazon Review by Jeanne: ―I have read every-
thing Ms Batman has written. She is an excellent writer with a
quick wit that makes me laugh out loud. Her characters are very
likable, and the stories will leave you wanting more.‖
―I can‘t believe I let your loony brother, who‘s tormented me
all my life, talk me into this.‖
With my eye on the teenage competition standing off to one
side, I tugged the swimsuit‘s leg opening into place to better
cover my hip. ―Just because I did some modeling in college does-
n‘t make me a pageant diva. Back then, I was incredibly skinny,
and clothes fit easily.‖
―Daniel is a rat. He took advantage of your third, or was it
your fourth, margarita, Kelly?‖ Maggie Ackerman, my best friend
and roommate, adjusted the scarlet satin sash draped across my
body. Glittery stick-on letters spelled out Miss Yahoo! Ranch
Steakhouse. ―Don‘t worry. You‘re beautiful and will be fine.
Now, hold still.‖
I watched her pick my brown hair at the crown of my head
with an old-fashioned teasing comb. When the eerie suspicion I
resembled a scary dame with Big Texas hair from the television
show, ―Dallas,‖ I turned my head to avoid the mirror.
―Close your eyes.‖ She blasted my hair with several short
bursts of super freeze-it hairspray. ―Now, that ain‘t goin‘ no-
where.‖
