[stylist] being overwhelmed?

[helene ryles]

Hi Tami:
Although the twins were born identical, they aren't at all  hard to
tell apart. Zahira wears thick glasses that magnify her Amber coloured
eyes. Her sister Zaina has prosthetic eyes.  She has her eyes removed
at the age of 5 when her glaucoma gets really bad.

Helene.
