Tammy picked this design. I don't care for it but whatever.
I mentioned I was hungry and Ann (she does my fingers - buff only/no color) made me dinner: Rice with tofu and veggies. The part on the spoon, that kind looks like tripe or brains, is soft tofu cooked with ???. Looked completely gross but tasted good.
Repeat of an old design, from a couple months ago, that I liked. I wanted rhinestones on top of the polka dots (just on the big toes) but she didn't understand and we were already passed closing time so I didn't bring it up again. I'll add them myself - or have her do it Thur night when I got back for false eyelashes.
Tammy working my a new design for me (I've talked about her so much that I figured it was time to show her). I brought in a light pink color (OPI "Pinking Of You"), figuring I'd do something lighter for a change. But Tammy poo-pooed that idea and talked me into letting her pick a darker color.
It was a bizarre/fun day at the salon. The owner, "Nancy" (I don't know her Vietnamese name), started telling a story about something on TV, or a movie, where a woman made a yodeling "ee-oo-ee-oo-ee-oo" sound. She was telling the story in Vietnamese and kept repeating the sound over and over. Even though I couldn't understand a word, I was cracking up. At the end, Nancy turned to me and said (in English), "You know what I mean?" And I replied, "No, I don't!!" I had NO idea what she'd been talking about!! I still don't.
Bonus for the girls, they told me I can go to just about any massage place in Little Vietnam and get a $10 or $15 (per hr) massage. Apparently they have signs out front advertising the prices. "Julie" was trying to communicate something about paying the tip in the room, and only paying the bill to the front desk - but I never really understood why... nor what, specifically, she was telling me to do. I think it has something to do with the girls being able to pocket their tips so long as the front desk doesn't handle them. I dunno. I did understand the part about the prices being low because most of the workers are girls in town on vacation, visiting family, so they work under the table while they're here. Whatever. I'll give it a try. It will be a disaster - but also an adventure. And shopping in Little Vietnam will be fun cause I haven't been there in several years (it's like a modified version of Chinatown).
Here's the finished pedi:
