HALLO PRETTY LADY.

[salylimon]

Emiliana knew that she could be doing her shopping somewhere other than her local 99¢ Only Store. Like at a Wal-Mart, perhaps. However, her reason for walking up and down the disorganized aisles of the dollar store had nothing to with the fact that cheaper prices tempted her more than actual name brand goods. No, it was just that she liked having the option of buying tortillas, cake mix, and a Virgen de Guadalupe nightlight at the same store. That was it, really.

Pushing her shopping cart past the shelves filled with old, and partially rusted, cans of Aqua Net hairspray, Emiliana shifted to wheel her cart out of aisle Number Five and its shelves of generic hair products. She enjoyed taking her time, choosing to walk down each aisle in case she found something to take home with her.

Wheeling her cart into the next aisle, Emilaian shot a quick look around, hoping to spot something interesting (and entirely necessary to buy) from the get go. However, just as she was done taking in what pieces of crap the sixth aisle had to offer, Emiliana caught sight of a vaguely familiar woman (?) walking through the entrance. Though, what interested her more was what the woman was wearing. Or rather, the headscarf and large, bug-eyed sunglasses she had adorned herself with.

It reminded her of something her grandmother had probably worn back in the day.

...waaaay back in the day.
