Act I - "Present Time"

The show starts out in "Present Time" a mall setting, as stories go there is always a push and pull factor, good vs evil. We have two beautiful friends that eye up the same fellow, (pet name Black and White)

We had Beige girl (pet name) sitting in the audience on this luscious shoe chair generously supplied by Colette's Frocks in North Vancouver, she is the one that alerts both Black and White to the fact that the shoe salesman has been flirting with every girl that came into his store, can you image! friend or foe....hmmm

Macaroon girl is the only one smart enough to see the writing on the wall and ixnay the eathday and amscray. Guess she got the message with Black and White standing by with offerings of love. Red flag, red flag
