The White Elephant 27: Fashion

Mary: It's quiet without Gordon today.
Ceilia: It's nice isn't it! He said he was going for a fitting but I'm not sure what for though. Ahh, here he comes now.
Mary: Good morning Gordon. Bad hair day?!
Gordon: Excuse me?
Ceilia: Keep your hair on! Don't forget we've got some students coming in for lunch today so none of your old-fashioned dishes ... give them something contemporary – modern.
Gordon: Leave it to me. I'm down with the kids.
Mary: You've got it covered?!
Gordon: Yes I have ... oh I see, you're referring to this ... my new toupee ... my wig. I'm just keeping up with the fashion.
Mary: And what fashion is that then?
Gordon: A new hair style – these are all the rage – the women love it.
Mary: After a fashion.
Ceilia: I thought that wigs were a bit ... old hat. And if you are going to cook in that, then wear it underthis hat, for now
Gordon: I knew you two couldn't handle my new fashion statement.
Ceilia: You're being a fashion victim – we liked the old you.
Gordon: Well you're stuck with the new me now. Just leave me to cook!
Mary: Ooops, looks like you've made a fashion faux pas ...
Ceilia: ... there appears to be hair in the soup!
Peter: Hair in the soup? Keep your voice down ... everyone will want one.
