Try walking with more Bounce, girls!

Hey Sweetie, have you gone to the laundromat yet this week? I really need some clean underwear.
Sorry Honey, I haven’t done that. It just creeps me out, now that they’re doing live fashion shows from that place!
Look, I keep telling you, “Lamar’s Haute Couture and All-Night Laundromat” is perfectly okay. It’s a lot nicer than those other combination laundromat and high fashion places.
That’s true. I really hate “Suds ‘n’ Duds,” and I wouldn’t set foot inside “Coins ‘n’ Loins.”
But what if they mistake me and my big bundle of dirty clothes for an actual runway model?
Relax, Sweetie, these are fashion professionals. Nobody will ever mistake you and your laundry for one of those chic models!
I’m not so sure about that, Honey. The last time I went in, I told Lamar I needed bleach and I came home as a blond!

Dont know about you guys, but I would buy that blue sweater in the middle shot in a heartbeat…
provided it is as chunky as it looks…
Laundromat where you can get your hair done: Rinse and Tints.
That looks more like a zombiemat. I sincerly hope one of those bags if full of doughnuts because they need them on several levels.
Onedoor – Zombiemat! The word of the day!
Zombiemat – is that where they do their brainwashing?
Brainwashing. My readers are the very best!
That’s why when the Government Death Panel asked for my list of regular commenters, I was proud to comply!
I checked the care label on my brain and it read “Gentle cycle, short wash.” Don’t remove the brain care label under penalty of the Death Panel until it is used. Well, mine is still attached and… Oh. Never mind.
I cant be on that list, I am in a land Far Far Away….
Don’t kid yourself, Shra. They have a regional hub office in Edinburgh.
Give a Cheer, the Tide has turned and it is the Dawn of a new era in fashion. We have every thing to Gain as we move in this Bold new direction.
@Nosmo: just punderful!
Mrs. Doc tells me I have a dirty mind. But, so far, she hasn’t insisted that I go to the zombiemat.
No, there isnt (looking around furtively for Death Panel agents) and even if there is such a thing in Edin, my trusty broadsword shall quench its thirst!!!
Brilliant comments, One and Nosmo…
Hmm…the first picture reminds me of many such ‘Laundromats’ in Africa and India… certainly beats the laundy at Siverskoye lake!

She looks exhausted in that middle photo. Maybe the problem is that she has no place to live and sleeps on park benches so she has to carry her laundry everywhere including fashion shows.
Ha ha ha I think Onedoor and Nosmo own the comments here! “Rinse and Tints” is brilliant, although read it too quickly and one of the letters seems to disappear giving things a completely different meaning. :p
At the zombiemat the zombies come in complaining of Ssstttaaaiiiinnnnnssss……..
Poor baby. Not only is she dragging her boyfriend’s dirty clothes to the laundromat, she’s wearing chain mail armor.
Thanks, Sis, for doing the laundry!
I keep telling Gieselle, “No starch in my shorts!” She never listens to me.
“Girls, it looks like wUPS lost the shipment of clothes for our fashon show today, so just go on out there with the clothes you came in on. Oh by the way, would you mind doing my laundry for me after?”
And there I was, thinking to see some bounce
You guys are talking of Zombiemats… I hope that doesnt mean women wash that laundry by hand?? Coz is that what that woman is doing in the first pic?
@justCAM, ha ha ha!
@69Spinster: Oh I see… thanks
He wouldnt know what you mean Spin, we dont use Bounce in our laundry here…
that zombiemat is a real brain drain.
I heard the place is dead now.
So, anybody know what’s up with the front-mounted ponytails the models all have?
Coupled with the whispy comb-over-look back-mounted piece, it looks plain weird.
Chignons? Chignons? Shra, I believe we may have a problem here.
Its ok, BG… I beleive we all know what is a chignon is… No harm done…
Oh, sure. Chignon. You mean like the cut of beef?
Zombiemat Brainwashing. I’m happy.
