Misty Lou gave her pinkie toenail one last dollop of polish and snapped her chewing gum, mint flavoured, at the same time, with little wedges of cotton tucked between each toes. Her Giovanni liked them hot pink and shiny, so she then moved on to do her fingernails, actually they were more like long dragon claws, like you might see on the ends of a dragon lady's hands in one of those marital arts movies. Anyway, she was dressed in hot pink to match 'cause Giovanni, known as Joe, liked her in hot pink. He said it made her hair look even more shiny and blond AND it reminded him of her little pink "maryanne" and he loved it a lot, always wanting her to show it off to him, but he got mad if anyone else ever talked sexy about her at all. She didn't have any idea of why he liked to call it her "maryanne" but she thought it might have something to do with his mother, Marianna. Anyway, he said it was his and only his. She didn't name his after anybody but he really liked it when she played hide his "Kielbasa" or "Mr. K!"
