Helen (pictured, wet) was furious; lately, her roommate Suzi had thought it outrageously funny to wait for Helen to get in the shower and then move her towel to where it couldn't be seen or reached, leaving Helen cold, wet, and angry.

Karrie (pictured) was ecstatic; she'd gotten tickets for the Ellen show & wanted to look her best--really outstanding. The Lady GaGa white hair combined with pink tips seemed to be just the ticket--not exactly mainstream, but really cool. She was hoping for one of those million dollar checks or a free car, but she'd settle for the trip to Hawaii. If that didn't work out, maybe she could get a slot on American Idol doing her Willie Nelson imitation . . .

The girls--Twyla, Penny, Blanca, and Jenelle--had two problems with the offer regardless of how profitable it was. First, they did Gregorian Chants to a Hip Hop beat and weren't sure how well that would go down with the Lady Gaga crowd; second, they felt like they had been in one spot so long, they had put down roots . . .
