The Rat Story (from the UAE)

My friend, Pantene, mentioned recently that she has not made an appearance on my blog yet, and bemoaned the fact that she does not have a blog name. Now she does: Pantene. Because, while she does not use Pantene, she does have Pantene hair like you see in the commercials.
