BORN TO BE

A DAUGHTER SANDY THOMAS ADVERTISING -39

Half an hour later, Ted entered my bedroom wearing a short white terry cloth robe with his wet hair hanging in strings down onto his neck. "Take a seat, honey, and I'll style your hair. Why don't you do your nails?" I suggested, motioning to my vanity chair.

"That color is too red. I like pink or nothing," he moaned, holding up the bottle of scarlet nail polish.

"It's not too red. I love that color. It's vivid and lively," I replied as I started on his hair. Meanwhile, Ted was polishing his fingernails with the scarlet polish. I finished by teased his bangs into a fluffy puff. The style opened up his face, exposing his thin arched eyebrows and pierced

ears.

"Uhm. . .Mom, would you go shopping with me today? I still need help learning to shop like a...a girl," he muttered. I sensed his fear and I loved it. Revenge is so sweet! "Of course dear. Wear the clothes I laid on your bed, and we'll try a different mall today."

"Great idea," he enthusiastically agreed.

When he left, I decided not to wear a bra today, since the blouse I chose would hold my breasts secure. I slipped into a lovely, low cut white blouse covered with red polka dots. It was a light, sleeveless garment with a notched collar. I loved that it showed my substantial bosom to advantage.

I followed it with a tight fitting, black skirt that molded to my hips and legs to 2" above my knees. I chose barely nude nylons and red three inch pumps. On a whim, I wore the same shade of nail polish and lipstick as Ted. I brushed my hair into loose flowing waves that framed my face, accented my thin arched eyebrows, yet revealed my gold button earrings and sparkling diamond studs.

"Are you ready Barbie?" I asked as Ted reluctantly exited his bedroom.

"Mom, I can't wear this," Ted whimpered, knowing he couldn't hide while wearing this outfit. He had too quickly agreed to wear the clothes I selected, and now he was totally embarrassed!

I grinned broadly as I looked him over in his tight fitting red dress that perfectly matched his nails and lipstick. The dress hugged his hips to end 4" above his nylon encased knees. His legs were gorgeous in medium gray nylons and white sling pumps with 3" heels. The dress covered his upper body, but did nothing to hide his growing bosom.

"Honey, you look great," I complimented. "Don't forget to take your white purse."

Ted tried to hide his lovely legs from the two boys constantly giving him the eye. He knew what they were thinking!
