Its Boxing Day in a lot of places though I do not want to do any shopping it is a little to hectic for me unless I really want something. On with the review
Skeeter narrates this chapter again and it has been 2 weeks since she sent the letter with her idea of interviewing maids to Miss. Elaine Stein. She did lie in the letter saying that she had an interview lined up with a maid that she did not actually have. Elaine called her a week after the letter was posted and told her that she is interested in the idea but she is not making any promises that it will be published. Skeeter has tried 3 times to get Aibileen on board or to ask on of her friends that is a maid to help her out but Aibileen has refused every time. Skeeter is forced to see Aibileen thank Hilly for convincing Elizabeth to get her an outside bathroom which makes Skeeter pretty upset about it. Also Skeeter's mother uses the Shinalator on Skeeter's hair and after it is done Skeeter herself feels beautiful and is ready for the blind date Hilly has set up.
Its like mean girls up in this joint like Hilly is Regina George the Queen Bee and Elizabeth is Karen Smith who has no clue what is going on, Skeeter is Cady Heron who is taking the time to talk to people outside the "group" and the Aibileen and the other maids are all the different groups in the school. I don't have a person for Gretchen Weiners yet but maybe it will come up later in the novel. Skeeter is making a risky move about the book and trying to get maids to interview for it and risks their lives since black lives did not matter then.
The song for the chapter is Milkshake by Kelis because 1. its on the means girls movie track and 2. it reminds me of Hilly and her saying that she is better than everyone

Thats All for now talk to you later,
