The

The unexpected performance

He looks into the mirror; the wig is still on the stand. He feels the
stubble on his chin and decides to shave for the third time in the
space of an hour. Why had he sat out in the sun for so long? Now he
would have to darken the foundationer somehow. There were still two
more hours to the show, his dress was hanging on the back of the door
and the jewels were twinkling to themselves on the dressing table. Ok
it had been a long time but preparation is everything. He breaths
deeply, the transformation is about to begin. An hour and a half later
and he is putting the last few stray hairs into place. He looks at
himself in the mirror - perfect. Next, Kim enters the room and the
temperature rises. Pressed up against the wall, a hand on his thigh, a
whisper in his ear 'ten minutes to curtain call.' He looks into the
mirror. The wig has slipped - 'What a time to loose your head.'
