If there’s one thing the residents of East Brunswick can rally behind, it’s the pursuit of a perfect manicure. But recently, the local nail scene has been rocked to its very core by the shocking and sudden disappearance of none other than Sue. Yes, Sue—the one person who could effortlessly wield a cuticle pusher while making you feel like you’ve been best friends since birth.
But where did she go? And more importantly, how is the community handling this life-altering event?
Sue: The Nail Guru Gone MIA
The drama unfolded innocently enough when Christy kicked things off in the East Brunswick Forum, innocently promoting Sandy from Super Nails in Milltown. “Come to Super Nails by Target n ask for Sandy!” she posted. But it wasn’t long before the thread took an unexpected twist.
“Where’s Sue???” came the desperate plea from Alicia, setting off a tidal wave of concern in the comments. You could almost hear the collective gasp echo across the township. Sue was gone, and everyone was suddenly, undeniably lost.
“Does anyone know where Sue went?” Alicia continued, her words hanging in the air like an ominous cloud.
Sue herself responded in the thread, cryptically stating, “I wish we could know.” The mystery deepened. Could it be? Did Sue herself not even know where Sue went?
The Rise of Sue’s Loyal Fanbase
Before we had time to digest this mind-boggling plot twist, Bonnie chimed in with some insider gossip. “I love Sue and Iris,” she said, giving us a glimmer of hope. But then she threw out a curveball: “I wonder if they will be working together again, according to rumor that Iris is starting her own nail salon business.” Cue the dramatic music. Could this be the beginning of an underground nail empire?
But wait—there’s more! RichardDiana added to the chaos with a simple, earth-shattering question: “Sue quit???” The raw emotion behind those two words. It’s like RichardDiana was speaking for all of us.
Nailing the Emotional Rollercoaster
The forum quickly became a battleground for nail salon recommendations, but each suggestion felt like a hollow attempt to replace Sue. Christy and Gloria exchanged pleasantries, affirming their impeccable taste in nail technicians, but it was clear that no one could fill the gaping Sue-sized hole in our hearts.
Marci mentioned someone named Bonnie, but Sue remained the focal point, like a nail that just won’t come loose, no matter how hard you try. “I love Sue,” she repeated—because who doesn’t?
By now, the whole community was spiraling into a collective existential crisis. Joan recommended Chloe Nails, and Phyllis backed her up with, “I like Chloe.” But even Chloe wasn’t Sue. No one was Sue.
Sue: The Legend Lives On
As we sifted through the emotional wreckage, we were left with a singular truth: Sue had achieved legendary status. Her name had transcended the realm of mere nail technician and entered the hall of East Brunswick mythos.
Jessica Winter threw in a mention of Johnnie and Stacy from Simply Nails, but it was no use. The damage was done. Sue’s abrupt exit had sent ripples through the very fabric of our nail-care universe.
“I ran into my stylist today,” Amy DL shared, “and she said there are many changes with the new management… Iris is now going to be right next to Shop Rite in Midstate Mall.” Changes? Midstate Mall? This is worse than we thought.
What Now?
With Sue’s whereabouts shrouded in mystery, the community continues to search for answers, sharing cryptic clues and favorite nail spots like bread crumbs in a never-ending forest. As Kathie Burns Waite perfectly summarized, “Sad 😔.”
Indeed, Kathie. Indeed.
Will Sue return to us one day, brush in hand, ready to restore balance to the East Brunswick nail scene? Or has she moved on to paint the nails of the gods themselves in a salon far, far away?
Only time will tell. Until then, we wait. We wonder. We get subpar manicures.
And we will never forget… Sue.
