On Wednesday I went to the mall with my sister and brother-in-law to look at photographs of the newest kid taken at Picture People.? This is a place sort of like Olan Mills or other photograph studios, only more hip and quicker.? So…its the same.

So we got in around 8:00 and there are two staff members present.? One is a young guy, probably just two or three years out of high school.? The other was, I am told, also a guy, though some debate lingers.? Here are some of the observed facts: breasts, womanly curves (hips and butt) and a very thin and neatly trimmed mustache.? When Aroesmith’s Dude Looks Like a Lady came on the radio while we were in the shop, R and E were barely able to contain their laughter.

But it was the other guy who was to help us on this evening.

So the other guy was trying to sell pictures to R and E while I tried to entertain myself.? I asked: “So, you guys shoot softcore porn in here at night, right?” He says, “No” and then winks at me.? I look at R and E and they look at me.? “Did that just happen?” we ask with our eyes.? Then the dude goes for his wallet!

“No!” we all scream.

“It’s not bad,” the guy insists.? “Let’s just say dating the assistant manager has its benifits.”

He shows us photos of his plus sized lady in various, fully clothed poses.? We’re polite.? We smile and nod.? “Very nice,” we say.

Weird!
