Here's how I imagine the conversation between these two going:
Marge: "Gladys, would you look at that?"
Gladys: "Is that Henrietta? My, she looks hideous!"
Marge: "Doesn't she? I think she's coloring her back plumage."
Gladys: "Oh, there's no doubt. I can see the gray roots right through that fake pink. It looks nothing at all like the soft crimson of her flight feathers."
Marge: "You know she's not a true Andean, right?"
Gladys: "Now that you mention it, I can see the Chilean in her. Oh, what a pity."
Great image and fun narrative Ron, reminds me of the comments first thing in the morning from our female staff, have you seen what sees wearing today what does she think she looks like springs to mind, lol:)
