Afro: dis 'ere ok?

I have recently bought a lot of ladies' clothes and decided I would stop for a few weeks.

Well, I wasn't going to buy anything for Gabriela but you can't put a good woman down. Well, you can and you can have your own way with her but I digress. I passed an African shop that advertised wigs for black women so I looked in the shop window then walked away.

As I walked on Gabriela started whispering in my ear" Wouldn't it be fun if..."
I said "No." I didn't have the bottle for it as I would be too embarrassed." But as Gabriela said, no-one knew me there and so what?
I found myself walking into the shop which was badly stocked and sold some extravagant African foods and mostly hair attachments. I asked to see some Afro wigs and the woman said the ones in the window were the only ones left.
There was a bright red Afro wig and a kind of mixed-race -coloured Afro one. I said I wanted a black one. She suggested the mixed race one, very calmly. She didn't see red.

She added that she had another customer who wanted to buy it that morning but didn't have the money on her and that she might come back for it . I smiled and said that I wouldn't want to disappoint her, to which Ms Africa said " It's a really nice wig, who is it for?

I said it was for me and she looked puzzled and smiled back. I said it was for dressing up for me.

She still looked puzzled and I said " You know? Dressing up!" So she laughed. I told her that I wasn't sure but could I try it on and she went to get me a mirror.

Just then two black guys came in . I said I would wait until they'd gone and pretended to inspect wigs. She laughed with them and one of them held her in his arms. they were all joking and smiled at me so I joined in whichever joke it was.

I assumed she had told them and they were all saying how kinky I must be.

They eventually left ( good job as I'd run out of wigs, exotic fruits and empty shelves ).

When I tried the Afro on it looked really good, well when you don't have any hair, any wig looks good. So I got a bargain: £23. Considering a friend had paid £10 for a really crap one looking like a Black & White Minstrel who had a massive electric shock then had a severe perm.

So I was good really. I hardly bought anything. Just one piece...a hair piece.
