This week’s blog is simply a short story that I wrote a couple of years ago and read last Saturday at my local bookstore, Readers’ Books. Beauty Express is about a woman getting her head shaved in celebration of her divorce becoming finalized. The bookstore event is held every month and is called “Random Acts.” It’s basically open-mic at the bookstore. Five dollars gets you a seat and allows you the opportunity to throw your name in the basket to perform your random act: read, sing, recite, tell a joke, play an instrument, whatever, as long as you’re done within five minutes. I hope you like it.
