I remember when Dixe and Allison came to my Charlotte to help me celebrate my 39 birthday. I was excited I pulled out the fine china for the first time for 5 course dinner. I had a woderful time.
I remember the three of us laughing and dancing to Madonna in the living room all night. I was honored the you trusted my makeup skills enought to paint your face for the Madonna concert. Boy did we make some great memories.
I want you to know Dixie , I have on the cologne you...
