“THIS DRESS,” TAYLOR INSISTED as she thrust a short, black sequined number at DJ. They were back in the room now, getting ready for the concert.

DJ frowned at the skimpy cocktail dress. “I think it’s too old for me.”

“No, it’s not. Just try it on, okay?”

“I don’t have shoes to — ”

“I have shoes. Come on. Just try it. We’re going to a concert in Vegas, DJ. It’s okay to dress up and have fun.”

DJ reluctantly took the dress off the hanger and carefully unzipped it. “This is a Vera Wang. It must’ve cost a fortune — ”

“Don’t freak, DJ. It was my mom’s. She probably got it for free — or nearly. Anyway, she doesn’t like it.”

“And she doesn’t mind if I wear it?”

”No, of course not. I’d wear it myself, except that it’s too tight,” Taylor thrust out her well-endowed chest, “and my girls don’t like feeling restrained.”

DJ laughed, then slipped on the dress. Although it was pretty short, she had to admit that it was somewhat conservative in the neckline. Kind of a Jackie O look, really. “Not bad,” she said as she checked it out in the mirror.

“It’s perfect for you.” Taylor nodded. “And I have the perfect shoes to go with it.”

“Wow,” said DJ when she saw Taylor adjusting a strap of her ruby-red satin dress. “You look really hot.”

Taylor held her head high. “I certainly hope so.” She joined DJ in front of the mirror. “The question is do I look hotter than you?” Now she frowned as if unsure.

“Of course, you do,” said DJ quickly. “You always do.”

“I don’t know . . .” Taylor frowned. “Blondes in black . . . I should’ve thought this one through a little better.”

“It’s not like we’re competing. And what about brunettes in red? Shouldn’t there be a rule against it?”

Taylor smiled smugly. “I do look hot, don’t I?”

DJ nodded.

“And we haven’t even done makeup or accessories yet.”

Taylor pulled open a couple of bathroom drawers, and the two girls continued to primp. DJ decided to keep her accessories simple, which Taylor agreed was the right thing. “Sophisticated and understated,” she told DJ. “Should we put your hair up, to help hide those damaged ends?”

DJ gave her long blonde hair a shake. “I think it’s fine down.”

“Fine, if you like going around with chlorine-zapped hair.”

“Whatever. Put it up if you want. But you know that I’m hopeless when it comes to doing hair.”

“We need Rhiannon here.” Taylor grabbed a brush and attacked DJ’s hair, brushing and brushing and finally twisting it into a fairly nice-looking style. “How’s that?”

“Not bad.”

Now Taylor swept her dark curls up into a tumbled sort of do with tendrils hanging down here and there. Next she helped DJ with her makeup. “Looks like you got a little too much sun,” she observed as she applied some eye shadow. DJ still couldn’t get the hang of eye shadow.

“Do I look burnt?” asked DJ.

“A little pink. But it’ll probably tan out.”

DJ looked at Taylor’s perfect bronze skin.
